DESCRIPTION OF EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK, NEPAL

This Everest Base Camp trip, in Nepal, takes you to the iconic location about half way up the world’s highest mountain. A fifteen day guided trek, travelling in a small group and staying at traditional Himalayan teahouses along the way, we start in Kathmandu and then take an internal flight to Lukla, to start the trek. Following in the footsteps of great explorers such as Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary, this is the mega mountain trek for any mountaineer and even though it is not the summit, this is a challenging trekking trip. 

On this trip we take plenty of time at various key locations in order to acclimatise to the elevation, but also to take time to absorb the dramatic scenery which, for many people is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Highlights along the way are many, not least reaching each key trekking target, but also getting your first view of iconic peaks including Everest and Lhotse when you reach Namche Bazaar at 3440m.

The trek to Tengboche (3840 m) also brings us to the stunning Tengboche Monastery and Sherpa Heritage Foundation and, after reaching Everest Base Camp itself, we have an additional trek to Kala Pattar (5545 m) to take in the great one for a last time on this trip, with great views not only of Everest but also Lhotse and Nuptse. We fly back to Kathmandu on day 16 of the trip leaving us plenty of time to explore the Nepalese capital, or further afield, plus a farewell dinner with many toasts to be had.
