EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK NEPAL

Introduction
The Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek is one of the most iconic adventures in the world, taking
you deep into the heart of the Himalayas and offering breathtaking views of the planet’s highest
peak — Mount Everest (8,848.86 m). Over the course of 14 days, this journey combines a
scenic flight to Lukla, culturally rich Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, and the rugged
beauty of the Khumbu Glacier.
Following the Kathmandu–Manthali–Lukla route, the trek is designed with gradual
acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, ensuring a safe and enjoyable climb to
Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) and the unforgettable sunrise viewpoint at Kala Patthar (5,545
