12 Days Everest Base Camp Trek

About this experience

The Everest Base Camp Trek is a must-do adventure for trekkers of all levels, including seniors and beginners. Starting from Lukla, it leads you to heights of 5,545m at Kalapatthar, offering a breathtaking view of Mount Everest. The Base Camp itself sits at 5,364m, providing a close encounter with this majestic peak.

The journey is enriched by warm hospitality from the Sherpa villages you'll encounter along the way. The gentle rush of Dudhkoshi, or the Milk River, accompanies you for about three days, creating a memory you'll cherish forever. Keep an eye out for the Danphe, an endangered bird and Nepal's national symbol.

Exploring the Khumbu region is a delight, with favorable seasons lasting for a good eight months each year.
