Everest Base Camp Trekking is one of the most popular trekking routes in the world. This trek also provides a lifetime opportunity to see some of the most breathtaking imaginable mountain Scenery. Nepal is a fascinating country and the trek gives an insight into the lives and culture of the Sherpa community. Our ascent is steady and well traverse to best suit the acclimatization needed. Sunrise on the snow capped peaks above the Khumbu Glacier is an unforgettable sight from the summit of Kala Patthar. This trek is also one for the lover of high places and those wanting to push themselves to the limit. It is a tough challenge and not to be taken lightly with generally well-graded paths but some tougher sections in the Khumbu glacier.
