Explore the mystic Everest region far from your mundane life in our Everest Base Camp Trek which is full of rigorous trekking trails to the almighty Mt. Everest. Our Everest Base Camp Trek is significantly listed as one of the most legendary and famous treks in Nepal, which lets you set foot on the trail once walked on by the renowned mountaineer pair of Sir Edmund Hillary & Tenzing Norgay. One of the major highlights of this trek is that it gives trekkers the opportunity to admire the first rays of sunrise over mighty Everest from the summit of Kala Patthar along with other high peaks like Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Ama Dablam. Compared to other treks, Everest Base Camp Trek lets you walk into the colorful rhododendron forests and past the pouring rivers, and through the suspension bridges with Buddhist prayer flags to taste the hearty Nepalese cuisine. Primarily done between April to mid-June and September to November, this trek requires trekkers to have the above-average physical fitness to walk for 4-6 hrs a day.
