Overview

The Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek is a legendary journey to the foot of the planet’s highest peak, Mount Everest (8,848 meters / 29,032 feet). It is known worldwide as one of the most breathtaking and adventurous trekking trails, offering an unparalleled mix of raw nature and unique mountain culture.

Taking place in the Everest region of the Himalayas, the EBC trek begins with a thrilling flight to Lukla and then gradually passes through vibrant woods, traditional Sherpa hamlets, alpine meadows and glacial valleys. It finally takes you to the Everest Base Camp resting at 5,364 meters / 17,598 feet.

The trails leading up to Everest Base Camp are dotted with charming villages as Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche etc, all of which offer quiet and scenic environments to rest and replenish. These traditional villages give you opportunities to meet the local people and learn about their unique customs, religious beliefs and lifestyles. Likewise, the ancient monasteries, stupas and mani walls scattered across the hamlets provide a deep sense of culture and spirituality to the trek.

The panoramic scenery of towering Himalayan giants occupies you during the Everest Base Camp hiking journey. The spectacular scenery of great mountains such as Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Everest keeps accompanying you throughout the trek. From the rich biodiversity of the Sagarmatha National Park to ancient Sherpa culture and deep glacial valleys, the Everest Base Camp Tour is a deeply rewarding mountain adventure.

Our 15-day Everest Base Camp Trek starts in Lukla. It is a more accessible alternative compared to the traditional route from Jiri. Nowadays, most trekkers prefer flying to Lukla as it is a convenient 40 minute aerial ride from Kathmandu. Nevertheless, during high season trekking times, flights are redirected to Manthali Airport in Ramechhap which is around  5-hour drive from Kathmandu.

Arriving at Lukla, the excitement is on as you start hiking on the main Everest Base Camp route. Phakding is the first night’s stay which is a peaceful village beside the Dudh Koshi River. The route then proceeds to Namche Bazaar, a lively Sherpa town where two nights are spent for elevation acclimatization. The next overnight stop is Tengboche which is renowned for the Tengboche Monastery, the largest in the Khumbu area.Continuing on Everest Base Camp trekking trails, you will reach Dingboche where another day of acclimatization helps your body to further get accustomed to thin alpine air. After several ups and downs and twists and turns, you will finally reach the iconic Everest Base Camp where you will enjoy the splendid vista of Khumbu Icefall, Khumbu Glacier and Mount Everest along with her sister peaks in all their glory.

Trek  to Everest Base Camp  with Adventure Great Himalaya Treks and Expedition is a wonderful way to experience the magnificence of the Everest region without the need to stress around anything.  The trek is completely guide tour  package, We will take care of everything from the day by day well being check-ups to see how well you are acclimatizing and trip security to the calculated subtle elements like nourishment, settlement, permits, and transport.
