Tour Highlights

The 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trek is an adrenotonic adventure trip that puts you in proximity with the world's highest peak, Mount Everest. This trek is a dream of travelers in quest of challenge and glamour that takes to the splendor of the Everest region. It is a great expedition to the heart of the Khumbu Valley-enabling one to share in the culture of the Sherpa people and experience the towering Himalayas at their best.

It starts with an exciting flight, which is considered spectacular from Kathmandu to Lukla, starting the trek from there. It meanders its way through some very nice Sherpa villages on the way, such as Phakding and Namche Bazaar; in the latter, time is spent on an acclimatization day to get used to the altitude. Being one of the energetic centers of the Everest region, Namche Bazaar offers insight into daily goings-on in the lives of the Himalayan people with spectacular mountain views.

Further up the trek, you go through Tengboche, a village that hosts the famous Tengboche Monastery, and proceed upward to where you shall stop at Dingboche and Lobuche. Pictorials on the way to these villages while trekking include Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and Nuptse. The highlight of the trek is arriving at Everest Base Camp (5,364 m)-a site that affords crampons a nearer view of the highest mountain in the world and the starting point for the majority of expeditions ascending to the summit of Everest.

The hike to Kala Patthar (5,545 m) has no panacea to offer for the ultimate panoramic view. From here, the view of Everest at sunrise is unforgettable and considered one of the best viewpoints of the mountain. The view from Kala Patthar is not only a treat for the eyes but also a soulful experience that stays etched in the hearts of trekkers.

Then, the route back tracks a route through great landscapes and villages you already know, like Pheriche and Namche Bazaar, with other outlooks. This is a medium-hard trek with acclimatization days to have a safe and pleasant trip.

The 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trek encompasses natural beauty, richness in culture, and adventure, embedding lifelong memories and a sense of achievement for trekkers in the Himalayas.
