Trip overview
Many climbers consider the Everest region as the most difficult trekking site, but now it has proven to be the best trekking track. In Nepal, the Himalayan areas, such as the Everest region, offer the best and most unique cultural exploration. Apart from that, the main attraction is Mt. Everest, along with other giant mountains to inspire the climbers, such as Lhotse (8,501m), Mt. Pumori (7,161m), Mt. Ama Dablam (6,812), Nuptse (7,861m), Mt. Thamserku (6,608m), and others.
The Everest Base Camp trek travels via Namche Bazaar, a famous Sherpa settlement, and the magnificent Tengboche Monastery, which offers panoramic views of Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8501m), and Ama Dablam (6856m). The path offers views of other high peaks such as Cho Oyu (8153m) and Makalu (8463m), as well as the spectacular Khumbu glacier at the base of Everest. Trekkers make their way to Kala Pattar, a fantastic viewpoint at 5554m that offers breathtaking, panoramic views of gleaming mountains and sunrise. The Everest Base Camp Trip is a thrilling trek in the Everest area. It includes all the important sites and characteristics that the curious hiker will enjoy. We have been serving in this industry for many years and have experience with different types of obstacles. As a result, we know the appropriate way to solve them.
All the trekkers to the Everest region begin their journey from the Lukla(9350) airport to one of the most traditional and vibrant markets in this region i.e. Namche Bazaar. Our team planned and managed a suitable trip to Mt. Everest Base Camp with the best packages of accommodation, food, professional guides, vehicles, and so on. We provide sufficient acclimatization at numerous points before embarking on the glacier path to Kalapattar, the elevated base camp of magnificent Everest, and a vantage point for Everest views.
