Everest Base Camp Trek
Maximum Altitude : 5545 meters Duration: 18 days
Making the journey to Everest Base Camp is the fulfillment of a dream made even better by great
time you’ll have trekking through the home of the Sherpa people along the way. Your objective is a visit to Everest
Base Camp (17,575ft.) or even more challenging the near by Kalapathar (18,193ft.) with its breathtaking views of Everest,
Nuptse, Lhotse (the world’s fourth highest mountain) and numerous other peaks. After a spectacular flight to Lukla (9403ft.),
you trek up the Dudh Koshi (milky river) to Namche Bazaar, the bustling center of Sherpa life and also called the gateway
of the Everest. The highlights of your time here, while you acclimatize are visits to Sherpa homes and the perk museum before
heading to Tengboche Monastery the holiest in the Khumbu. It is serenely on a high meadow in the lee of the distinctive peak
of AmaDablam.
The trail now takes you ever upward skirting formidable glaciers and neat Sherpa villages. On
returning to Lukla bid a fond farewell to your gracious Sherpa hosts and set of on the return flight along the mighty Himalaya
to Kathmandu. There is time to reflect on your adventure as well as exploring this historic and exotic city.
