Everest Base Camp Trek
The Everest area, known locally as Sagarmatha National Park, is home to some of the world’s highest peaks as well as the famous Sherpas, migrants from eastern Tibet who crossed over the Himalayas and settled here sometime in the late 1400s or early 1500s.
This trek is one that goes deep into the heart of the Himalayas. The mountain views are stunning, and the simplicity and hospitality of the Sherpa community are heartwarming. You will get to take in the awe-inspiring views of Mt. Everest, Mt Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Lobuche Peak, Mt Amadablam, Kasum Kangru peak, Thamserku peak, and Kwangde peak etc.
You will also be visiting Sherpa villages and monasteries to gain insight into their culture and lifestyle from up close.
This classical trek into the Solu-Khumbu region begins with a spectacular mountain flight to Lukla & continually trekking along the Dudh Kosi (“Milk River”).
After crossing the Namche Bazaar “Sherpa headquarter” we will continue on to Tengboche. With its beautiful Buddhist monastery, this small village is considered the spiritual center of the Khumbu area. We will gradually make our ascent to Dingboche, Lobuche, and finally along the glacial moraine to Gorak Shep at the base of Kala Pattar.
Now, you will have the option of sunset or sunrise trek to the summit of Kala Pattar (5550m/18208ft) for a panoramic view of some of the world’s highest mountains including Everest. We’ll make the 3-hour trek on to Everest Base Camp where, depending on the season, you’ll see mountaineering expeditions preparing for their ascent to the highest peak in the world, beginning with the spectacular Khumbu Icefall.
