Everest Base Camp Trek

The Everest Base Camp trek is a classic walk from Lukla to Kala Patar close to the base camp of the world's highest mountain. It is a popular route, amongst some of the most breath-taking mountain scenery imaginable. The trail to base camp has a network of small lodges which have recently seen big improvements in food and accommodation facilities. This now makes the programme ideally suited to lodge-based trekking. The trip is taken at a relaxed pace, with rest days allowing for proper acclimatization.

A sound level of fitness is required to make the most of this excellent trek. The walking is at times strenuous; there will be days when you will be very tired, particularly on the climb to Kala Patar, but the rewards are there. The mountain views on this trek are arguably the best in Nepal. The towering snowy peaks surround you at all times. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8511m), Makalu (8481m), Nuptse (7879m), Ama Dablam (6856m), Thamserku (6623m), Kwangde (6194m) and . . . the list goes on. It's pure Himalayan magic! Our trekking crews in the Everest (or Khumbu) area are the famous Sherpas.

Originally from Tibet, they were believed to have come from the Kham province over the Nangpa La (north-west of Namche) a distance of 1,300 miles to their present homeland. They have traditionally been traders, herders and subsistence farmers.

In the recent past they have gained recognition for their accomplishments as high-altitude porters, mountain trekking guides and recently as climbers in their own right. Their warmth, friendliness and experience are a great bonus on our Everest treks.
