Tour Highlights

The 15 Days Everest Base Camp Trek presents an outstanding opportunity to enjoy the essence of trekking in the Everest region. This popular program provides an opportunity for adventurers to travel to the core of the Himalayas right inside stunning natural beauty enriched with cultural heritage. The varied landscape, different cultural encounters, and physical challenges blend together into lifetime adventures during such treks.

Your tour begins with what many claim to be one of the most thrilling yet scenic flights on Earth: a spectacular flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. The majestic view of the mountains from above gives you a sniff of what could be coming your way. From Lukla, the trek begins in the form of a gentle hike toward Phakding, a tiny village that sits by the Dudh Koshi River.

While going up to the heartbeat gateway of Everest-Namche Bazaar, he gets scenarios of panoramic views of Mt. Everest and Lhotse. These towns are a busy trading hub but at the same time serve as spots for acclimatization and interaction with the local Sherpa community. Time spent here allows one to merge modern times with traditional Sherpa culture.

Continue the trek through the blooming rhododendron forests and following to the tranquil Tyangboche Monastery, one of the most important spiritual centers in the region. As you ascend accidentally, the towering peaks of Everest, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku touch the destination, Tyangboche, and by doing so create an opportunity for peaceful time and a visit to Buddhist culture.

Pave your way to higher altitudes, and the topography changes to get rugged and barren. Everest Base Camp-5,364m: The climax of the trek is achieved at this place, a junction where climbers head towards an ascend of the highest peak in the world. Standing just at the foot of Everest with towering, ice-capped mountains makes it onto an awe-inspiring achievement and became the highlight of your journey.

One of the most unforgettable moments of the trek is an early morning ascent of Kala Patthar (5,545m) when the sun rises over the Himalayas. And then in the golden light, Mount Everest and surroundings cuts an outline to form the vista that you will never forget.

During the trek, you will pass through a variety of landscapes-from plush forests and rivers to high-altitude desert-like terrain in the upper Himalayas. The trek offers a deep connection with nature and ample opportunities to explore Sherpa culture: visit monasteries and see traditional villages that offer insight into mountain ways of life.

This allows the trek to be undertaken in easy grace over 15 days for acclimatization and to be shown full refinement. The slow pace of progression allows the beauty of the Himalayas to be continuously soaked up, plenty of rest time at leisure, and exploration of the cultural aspects of the journey.

The longer Everest Base Camp Trek will be an unforgettable adventure which combined really great views with cultural exploration and simultaneously satisfaction from the conquest of one of the most iconic trekking routes in the world. Traces of this journey will stay in your memory for a lifetime, offering you deep contact with the mountains and a particular lifestyle of the Himalayan people.
