One of the world's most inspirational and spectacular journey, the Everest Base Camp trek offers intrepid visitors the chance to immerse themselves in a unique, one-of-a-kind experience in one of the world's most revered and awe-inspiring locations. In close proximity to four of the world's tallest peaks, Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu and Cho Oyu, Everest Base Camp is a geographical attraction, dynamic cultural exchange and spiritual haven, thanks to a thriving Buddhist presence and diverse international community. With colorful prayer flags adorning the campsite and stunning views of the Himalaya mountain range, the atmosphere is both majestic and magical in this sublime natural haven.
Travelers interested in joining this alluring, renowned trek will begin their journey with a scenic flight through the Himalaya mountains to Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla. Upon arrival, group members will begin their expedition to Everest Base Camp by traveling through Sagarmatha National Park, a rugged and breathtaking landscape that showcases the deep rivers and massive glaciers carved into the terrain.
After a steep climb, travelers will be greeted by friendly faces in Namche Bazaar, the capital of the Sherpas and a quaint oasis in this stunning landscape. Situated at roughly 3,440 metres, this vibrant community hosts several lodging facilities for trekkers, as well as stores where extra provisions can be purchased. With one day of rest before the climb resumes, visitors are given the opportunity to explore the rich cultural heritage of the Sherpas and the diverse landscape of surrounding areas while giving their bodies the time needed to properly compensate for higher altitudes.
Following this brief period of relaxation and acclimatization, the trek will resume, passing verdant alpine forests, roaring glacial rivers and sacred Buddhist temples en route to the next location of interest, Kala Patthar. From this vantage point, it's easy to understand why Mt. Everest and Sagarmatha National Park have gained massive international appeal. This is more than just an adventurous trek i - it's truly an unforgettable life experience.
After arriving at Everest Base Camp, group members will have the opportunity to explore their new surroundings and relish their achievements before traveling back to Lukla and embarking upon a return flight to Kathmandu.
The Everest Base Camp trek is highly recommended for those looking to explore new vistas and cultures in one of the world's most captivating natural settings. This unforgettable trip will leave you with a lifetime of memories.

Visas - visitors can obtain a multi-entry tourist visa on arrival at Kathmandu Airport which usually costs around US$40 for 30 days. Just make sure you have one passport size photo with you which they require, but don't worry if you forget as there is a photographer available in the airport who can take your picture and develop these within around 30 minutes. Alternatively you can obtain a multi-entry tourist visa before you travel from your local Nepalese Embassy.
