| Everest Base Camp trek has drawn adventurers since Mount Everest was first
surveyed in the late 19th century. Mt Everest known as 'Sagarmatha' in Nepal
and 'Chomolungma' in Tibet is popular dream destination among all adventure
lovers. Everest Base Camp trekking is slightly demanding and requires a fair
level of fitness before you begin. Most of the trail lies at the altitude over
3 000m, it is also essential that you trek slowly to avoid the possibility of
AMS.
The trek starts from Kathmandu after a short 35 minutes flight to the
Tenzing-Hilary airport at Lukla (2642m). After the scenic mountain flight, the
trek start through Sherpa villages and farmlands gradually rises to Namche
Bazaar (3440m.) where few nights spend for acclimatization (to be familiar
with altitude). During the rest days, we explore the large Sherpa village at
Khumjung and experience their lifestyle, beliefs, skills and warmth. The
Prayer flags, Chortens, Mani walls and Monasteries justify to the importance
of Buddhism in their lives throughout the wilderness.
Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek beyond Namche continues with several ups and
downs and the trail continues to higher altitude where the night-time
temperatures down to zero. You will get opportunity to explore the alpine
vegetation. Finally, the one way trekking destination ends at the base camp of
Everest or climbing the Kalapathar hill. Staying in the lodges and capturing
the world's highest towering peaks, we hike back to Lukla and fly back to
Kathmandu.
