    Mt. Everest Base Camp Trek PDF Print E-mail

    The trek to Everest Base Camp is without doubt one of the most famous in the world. It takes you into the heart of the Nepalese Himalaya, with awe-inspiring views of many of the world's highest and most beautiful mountains. everest base camp trek, mount everest base camp, trekking in nepal, top treks of nepal, nepal trek
    Everest Base Camp Trek”  is one of the most famous in the world and the magic begins on the flight to  Lukla, with breathtaking views of the Khumbu region. From Lukla the scenic  trail proceeds through beautiful Sherpa villages and lush valleys before spending  a day to acclimatize and perhaps enjoy the colorful Saturday market at Namche  Bazaar.

    You will experience incredible views of the Himalayan Mountains,  vast glaciers and Monastery (Tengboche - also home to the world’s highest  Buddhist monastery) on the way to Everest Base Camp. Dingboche boasts more  stunning views of the mountains, villages and valleys and allows another day  for acclimatization. On to Gorak Shep, you will pass monuments erected to  commemorate the deaths of (several) Sherpas who perished in avalanches. The  Everest Base Camp consists of semi-permanent camps set up by mountaineers and Mt. Everest  is not visible from this area. Hike to Kala Pattar, a shelf at the foot of Mt. Pumori,  and see the spectacular views unfold of the south face of Mt. Everest.  With a sense of achievement and the thrill of the return journey (from Everest  Base Camp), it will be time to head back to Lukla.

    The trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp continues to be one of our most rewarding journeys. You will have a day to explore the exotic city of Kathmandu before flying into the remote mountain town of Lukla (9,350 feet) to begin our trek into the Khumbu region of the Himalayas. The views of the Himalayan mountains from Lukla on a clear day are breathtaking.

    We follow an ancient route that will take us through tiny villages, across high mountain passes, and through remote valleys, villages, and monasteries. The views grow even more spectacular as we venture up the Dudh Kosi River to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to the Khumbu region at 11,300 feet. We will spend a night next to the Thyangboche monastery (12,887 feet), where you will be rewarded with spectacular views of Ama Dablam, Mt. Everest, and Lhotse.

    A non-technical climb of Kala Pattar (18,450 feet) highlights the truly spectacular panorama of Sagamartha (Mt. Everest), the Mother Goddess of the World (29,030 feet), and Lhotse (27,560 feet).

    Spending the better part of two days at Everest Base Camp will give us plenty of time for exploring the base of the tallest mountain in the world!

    The return trek continues to delight adventurous souls with more spectacular mountain views, lush forested valleys, and opportunities to learn about the Nepalese religion and culture.

    Nepal is a country of friendly people, beautiful scenery, and a great variety of cultural traditions. This journey into the world's most impressive mountain range will create lasting memories and instill a sense of accomplishment. This blend of outdoor adventure and cultural exploration is a great way to experience the Himalayan mountains!
