Our 15-day to Everest Base Camp trek offers trekkers
the best this area has to offer without
taking too long. This trek is truly an incredible
experience of this magnificent region and
its fascinating people. From Lukla (2,805m/9,200ft)
we trek to Namche Bazaar (3,436m/11,270ft)
for a day of acclimatization and optional
hikes. From Namche we explore the Sherpa
villages of Khunde and Khumjung before heading
for Thyangboche Monastery. After visiting
Chukung Ri we trek to Lobuche for
a day-hike along the Khumbu Glacier to Everest
Base Camp (5,364m/17,600ft) and a climb
of Kala Patthar Peak (5,550m/18,200ft) for
a close encounter with Mt. Everest.
Surrounded by some of the highest mountains
on the Earth you will bask in this incredible
mountain scenery before swinging back by
way of, little visited, Phortse village
to fly out of Lukla.
