Everest Base Camp Trek: A Legendary Himalayan Expedition

The Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that begins with a thrilling flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, followed by a gradual ascent through the heart of the Khumbu region. Over 12 days, trekkers journey through charming Sherpa villages like Phakding and Namche Bazaar, dense rhododendron forests, and high-altitude landscapes. Acclimatization days in Namche and Dingboche help the body adapt while offering stunning hikes to Everest View Hotel and Nangkartshang Peak.

The highlight of the trek is reaching Everest Base Camp (5,364m) and the iconic sunrise hike to Kala Patthar (5,545m), where panoramic views of Everest and neighboring giants await. The descent retraces the route through familiar villages, culminating in a final night at Lukla. With majestic views, cultural encounters, and a true sense of achievement, this trek is the ultimate Himalayan journey.
