Everest Base Camp Trek is the journey to the world’s highest mountain deep within the valley of Sagarmatha surrounded by the rarest of flora and fauna, marveling at the ancestral way of life and guided by the snow-capped peaks of some of the world’s tallest mountains. Through the telltale signs left by all those before us, we attempt to transcend beyond the clutches of time amazed by the courage it took Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa to first conquer the mountains. With humble Sherpa hospitality and their mesmerizing culture along with the rich bio-diversity of the Sagarmatha National Park, the Everest Base camp Trekking tops off with the journey to the foot of Mt Everest (8848m).
The journey of Nepal Everest Base Camp Trek to the world’s highest mountain begins with a scenic flight to Lukla. From there we head towards Phakding climbing up to Namche Bazaar where we take a day for acclimatization. The village of Tengboche which is also the home of the famous Mani Rimdu Festival is next on our list as we head towards the summer settlement of Gorakshep.

Everest (8,848m), Nuptse (7,861m), Lhotse (8,414m), Ama Dablam (6,856m) and Thamserku (6,608m). The culmination of all our arduous travels, the ragged breathes and complaints lodged by every part of our body comes down to the final trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp.

A sense of euphoria seizes control over our hearts and excitement shines through the foggy breaths as we achieve what we set out for.
