Overview

Everest Base Camp Trek is the most desired trek by the trekkers among many other trekking destinations in Nepal. A visit to Mount Everest is the lifetime dream of many people around the world. Being the ideal chance to provide the view majestic mountain and the splendid beauty of the region’s scenery, this trek takes its position in the top rank among trekking on the world stage.

The trail has many ups and downs into its way through lush low land and alpine forest, Buddhist monasteries and authentic Sherpa Villages. This trek provides an opportunity to explore the lifestyle of the Himalayan people, their religion, customs and traditions. Also, rare birds like the golden eagle, snow pigeon, Red-billed and yellow-billed choughs as well as flowers like rhododendron, magnolias, blue pine, chir pine, juniper and hemlock are the main attraction. It makes the trekking a delight and amazing for nature lovers.

Everest Base Camp Trek involves a high amount of ups and downs while walking. Teahouse trekking is also possible on the main trail to Everest Base Camp. The visit to Everest Base Camp is also the goal for many trekkers. But the view of Everest itself from the base camp can be disappointing; for the best views of Everest, we recommend taking the Kalapatter Trek. This trek can be completed by combining with the Everest Base Camp Trek.
