Everest Base Camp Trek

Trip Overview

The Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the world’s most iconic and rewarding trekking adventures, leading travelers to the foot of the highest mountain on Earth.

The journey begins with a scenic flight to Lukla and follows the classic Khumbu trail through Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, Dingboche and Gorak Shep before reaching Everest Base Camp (5,364 m). Most itineraries also include the sunrise climb to Kala Patthar (5,545 m) for the classic Everest panorama.

Along the way you experience Sherpa culture, suspension bridges, prayer flags and the dramatic scale of Sagarmatha National Park. Small groups, careful acclimatization and local guides keep the experience personal and safe.
