The Everest Base Camp trek is an extremely popular and famous trail. People from all over the world come here to be absorbed in this exotic corner of the world, to be placed in awe of the magnificent Mt Everest and its sibling mountain ranges. Trekking to Everest Base Camp takes you to the Base Camp (5,320m/17,450ft) of the highest mountain in the world- Mt. Everest (8,848m/29,021ft).
The Everest Base Camp trek is an incredible experience of a lifetime and is one of the most sought-after trekking destinations in the world. Everest region trekking is well known for its spectacular Himalayan scenery and the interesting cultures and lifestyles of its inhabitants (Sherpas), including their richest culture and tradition. In the meantime, you can explore Sherpa museums and famous Buddhist monasteries along the route. The trail gives you perfect views of beautiful peaks, Rocky Mountains, valleys, and Sherpa villages, giving the trekker a glance into their daily life.
Mt. Everest Base Camp is a glacier moraine that does not offer views of Mount Everest itself but has great views of the Khumbu ice fall and the surrounding mountains. Another highlight of trekking to Mount Everest is the hike to Kalapathar (Black Rock), which has the most dramatic view of Mt. Everest, Pumari, Nuptse, and many more peaks. It has breathtaking sights for tourists of the Khumbu Himalaya region; the views of the valleys and glaciers are spectacular. The Everest base camp hike begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and leads through to the Dudh Koshi valley through several Sherpa villages.
The powerfully spiritual prayer rocks and daunting suspension bridges are but a few of the numerous occasions you'll find yourself snapping pictures. Children in the local villages will often rush over to make you stop and say the classic Nepali greeting "Namaste". The beginning phase of the Everest walk is culturally beautiful and allows you to meet the local people; you will certainly experience their warm hospitality.
Special Notice: Due to unpredictable weather conditions in the Himalayas, there may be unforeseen schedule changes in domestic flights to Lukla and from Lukla. The flights may be delayed for several hours or pushed back by a day or more, depending on the circumstances. Although this is rare, it can happen even during the best trekking seasons. As you know, high-altitude weather conditions can be difficult to predict. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you plan for this by allowing for an extra day or two in Nepal after your trek, if possible. This will help ensure that you have some flexibility about your trek. On the other hand, if everything goes according to plan, you will have time to enjoy other activities such as rafting, wildlife viewing, shopping, or just relaxing after your adventure.
