Everest Base Camp Trek
The journey to Everest Base Camp Trek begins with a dramatic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (25-30Min), after which you hike up the Everest region to reach your destination in the Himalayas.
The Everest Region in Nepal is more than just climbing, hiking or trekking, it is a life-changing experience and some see it as a journey close to achieving Enlightenment. Located in the northeastern province of Nepal, this region is in a world of its own with vast glaciers, icefalls, the highest mountains, deep valleys, precarious settlements, and hardy people challenging the harshest environments thrown at them by nature in the thin air of high altitude.
Passing through legendary Sherpa villages, the trek is a mix of deep cultural and spiritual experiences also and of course physical challenges that test your strength and endurance. Buddhist lamas, monks and nuns led by Rinpoches (reincarnate at mas) serve the predominantly Sherpa communities from their gompas.
