The Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the world’s most iconic trekking adventures, taking you to the base of Mount Everest (8,848.86 m), the highest mountain on Earth. Located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, this trek offers breathtaking Himalayan scenery, rich Sherpa culture, ancient monasteries, and unforgettable mountain views.
The journey begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, followed by trekking through traditional Sherpa villages such as Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche. Trekkers enjoy panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and many other peaks. The highlight is reaching Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) and the sunrise hike to Kala Patthar (5,545 m) for the best close-up view of Mount Everest.
This trek is suitable for adventure lovers with good physical fitness and is best done in spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November).
