Everest Base Camp: Trekking to top of the World

Kathmandu, Nepal Hiking & Trekking

Active Adventure

The trek to Everest Base camp (5364m) is without doubt one of the most famous trekking in the world. This trekking is also known as Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar trekking in Everest region of Nepal. It reveals some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Himalayas. After exploring Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, you fly to Lukla where your trek to Everest begins. The trail follows the course of the Dudh Kosi, the ‘River of Milk’, gradually climbing through forests of rhododendron and magnolia. It crosses remote valleys, villages and monasteries. There are rest days at Namche Bazaar (the gateway to Khumbu) and at Dingboche village (set below the spectacular peak of Ama Dablam) for the acclimatization. A non technical climb of Kalapathar (5550m) highlights the truly spectacular panorama views of Mount Everest and many of the world’s highest and most beautiful mountains.
