Everest Base Camp Trek Overview
The Everest Base Camp Trek traces the iconic route from Lukla to the foot of the world's highest peak. Cross airy suspension bridges, explore Namche Bazaar, visit Tengboche Monastery, and acclimatize among Sherpa culture before pushing above the tree line toward Gorak Shep and Everest Base Camp.
Our itinerary balances acclimatization with adventure, including a sunrise hike to Kala Patthar (5,545m) for sweeping views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. Expect comfortable teahouses, knowledgeable Sherpa guides, and support every step of the way.
