Everest Base Camp Trek

Everest Base Camp (5,360m) trek is one of the most popular trekking routes in northern part of the Himalayas region and is visited by thousands of trekkers every year. These camps are rudimentary campsites on Mt. Everest that are used by mountain climbers during their ascent and descent. Since the very first expeditions to the Nepalese side of Everest in the 1953, to reach this part of the Himalaya within a limited time, we have devised this two week trek to Everest Base Camp which runs directly from Lukla. Climbers typically rest at base camp for several days for acclimatization to reduce the risks and severity of altitude sickness. Base camps usually consist of long lines of tents with food, blankets, light and warn clothes.

Everest Base Camp trek is a very well known mountain treks in Nepal, starts at the upper Phakding and follows the Dudh Kosi valley which climbs up to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazar .it is possible to go by flight from Ktm to lukla or Shangboche or walking from jiri, a bustling bazaar that’s a junction for trekkers, the local Sherpa and expeditions en route to the Mt. Everest.
