Overview

Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with the Everest Base Camp Trek, a journey that takes you to the foot of the world’s tallest mountain—Mount Everest (8,848 m). This iconic 7-day trek blends awe-inspiring Himalayan landscapes, rich Sherpa culture, and spiritual encounters with ancient monasteries.

Starting with a thrilling flight into the high-altitude town of Lukla, the trail winds through charming mountain villages, dense rhododendron forests, and roaring glacial rivers. Along the way, you’ll explore the vibrant Namche Bazaar, visit the sacred Tengboche Monastery, and acclimatize in the beautiful village of Dingboche.

The trek culminates at the legendary Everest Base Camp (5,364 m)—where climbers begin their ascent to the summit. The next morning, a hike to Kala Patthar (5,545 m) offers a jaw-dropping sunrise view of Everest and the surrounding Himalayan giants.

Whether you’re chasing a personal goal, a spiritual awakening, or simply the breathtaking beauty of the Khumbu region, this trek promises a profound and unforgettable experience.
