Everest Base Camp
Trip Details

The adventure of trekking in the Everest region
starts with a flight into the tiny airstrip of Lukla.
Spend several days trekking through the homelands of the Sherpa people, among their villages and Buddhist monasteries, with views of Everest and neighbouring Ama Dablam, considered by many to be among the most beautiful mountains in Nepal. Stroll around Namche Bazaar, the bustling market
town in the heart of Sherpa country and soak up the magnificent mountain scenery.
Without doubt, the highlights of the trek are the awe-inspiring views of some of the biggest mountains in the world which unfold the further you venture into the Khumbu valley; not forgetting, of course, the personal sense of achievement in reaching the Everest Base Camp.
