Everest Base Camp Trekking
It is our pleasure to introduce you to a heavenly view of the highest peak in the world. Most people only dream of climbing Mt. Everest or visiting it once in their lives. You too can come here and have wonderful adventure experience. The Everest trek of the Khumbu region, it the most popular trekking destination in Nepal. The main goal of this trek is either the Everest base camp trek (5,340m) or Kalapatthar (5,545m) on the south of Mt. Pumori ( 7,161m), which provides an amazing view of Mt. Everest. There are other popular places such as Namche Bazaar (the administrative headquarter of the Khumbu region), Khumjung or Thame (a typical Sherpa village) and Tyangboche Monastery . Even if you are not very fit to face this trek we can help motivate you all the way to your destination with our experience and techniques in the Himalayas. We are very proud of our very experienced team.
Generally, we start our trek from Kathmandu to Lukla, via a spectacular short flight (30 minutes) above the mountains. Following our landing, our adventure begins. During the trek, several days can be spent exploring the homelands of Sherpa people and seeing Buddhist monasteries as well as mysterious views of Mt. Everest and its neighboring peaks. We usually spend two nights at Namche Bazaar, the busy market in the heart of Sherpa country and see clusters of houses set among the high summer grazing pastures of the region. We spend our time exploring and acclimatizing in Namche Bazaar, which is extremely important for you to fully enjoy the trek. Those who have fully acclimatized may trek to the Everest Base Camp however, the awe- inspiring views of chaotic ice sculptures of the Khumbu Glacier, Nuptse and the southwest face of Everest itself are the main focal points of many trekkers. You generally share the trail with yak trains and Tibetan nomads and can choose to stay in simple but warm, welcoming, and homey guesthouses at each place during your trek even if they are very remote. Treks can vary from one week to more that a month.
