Tour Highlights

Conquered first by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary, Mount Everest figures in the wish list of every climber. For such people—those willing to experience these same great heights without the tough climbs and those chilly price tags—the Everest Base Camp Trek is the perfect alternative.

This trek offers the thrills and excitement of standing at the foot of the world's tallest peak as we follow the footsteps of mountaineering legends. Crossing the beautiful Khumbu region filled with giants like Mt. Makalu and Mt. Cho Oyu, one can also experience the culture of the Sherpas during this trek by cozying up in the charming teahouses of the mountains, enjoying their warm hospitality.

The hike up to the Everest Base Camp will be more than a trek; a risk-filled adventure that brings you literally to the might of Everest. Be prepared for hard work but hugely rewarding experiences that will hit you at every corner, something you will cherish for sure.
