About Trip:
The journey starts from the ancient architectural city Kathmandu. The stunning mountain flight will take you to Lukla the small vibrant town of the Khumbu region. The world-famous Tenzing Hillary Airport in itself is an adventure ride. The dwarfed look of the mountains in front of you seen from the flight acts as the trailers for the things to come during trekking in the Everest region. You will be amazed by the rural terrain of Nepal. The steep uphill and downhill along the Dudhkoshi River pass by a windy valley. The serene monasteries with chilled mountain air feeling while crossing the suspension bridge. These elements are the highlights of the Everest Base Camp Trekking.
The places like Namche Bazaar the Sherpa capital of the Khumbu region serves you the panoramic views of the mountains. The mystic Himalayan animal Yeti’s supposed footprints can also be found along the trail. The Sherpa Culture of mixed with Tibetan traditions in the Nepalese lifestyle is a different attraction for you. The changes in the geographical terrain and the species of the forests enthrall you. Occasional meetings with the locals and yak herders also help you to know more about life in the Himalaya. Tengboche which lies in the EBC trekking trail serves your spirituality. You can savor the exquisite panoramic views of the mountains and also feel the purity of the place.
The continuous chants of prayers and the smell of incense revitalize your spiritual self. Once you have reached the foothill of Everest at its base camp then the moment will be indescribable. It the season is of climbing or expedition then the entire place would be like a world festival. Unlimited tales of heroism, failures, records broken and folklore can be shared with trekkers and climbers across the globe.
The scenic sunrise view from the Kalapathar is an equally astounding moment to capture in your brain. Overall the trip to Everest Base Camp would be the lifelong memorable journey for you.
