Everest Base Camp Trek a strenuous 16-day trek reaching elevations of 5,550m that begins in Kathmandu. After the group meets and everyone is accounted for, we start our sightseeing tour where we explore the cultural heritages in Kathmandu. After we complete our sightseeing tours in Kathmandu, we fly up to Lukla, the only way to Everest base camp. The next few days are spent trekking through the heartland of the Sherpa people.
