About Trip:
Everest Base Camp Trek has been listed as the number one trekking trail by National Geographic. The trek takes you to the base of Mt. Everest (8848m), the world’s highest peak as well as to the top of Kalapatthar (5643m). The trail passes through the Namche bazaar, the capital of the Khumbu region and a cultural center of Sherpa people. You will have plenty of opportunities to learn Sherpa culture and appreciate their hospitality. Also, don’t miss visiting the famous Tengboche Monastery, one of the biggest monasteries in the Everest region and a perfect viewpoint to watch a splendid and up-close view of Ama Dablam (6812m).
The trek to Kalapathar will be the most rewarding ever as it offers the best glimpse of Everest not from anywhere in the world. You will enjoy spectacular views of the highest mountains in the world including Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse (8516m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8201m), Mt. Nuptse (7861m), etc. The trek entirely takes place through the Sagarmatha National Park area, which is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is home to such endangered animals as Snow Leopard, Red Panda, and Himalayan Tahr. Our last leg of the trek takes us to Everest Base Camp (5364m) which affords a magnificent south face of Mt. Everest. Here you can interact with mountaineers who have arrived from all over the world.
