Overview

The Everest Base Camp Trek stands out from other treks due to its awe-inspiring views of the Khumbu region of Nepal. Trekkers are blessed with picturesque sights of lush green forests, magnificent meadows, and the iconic Mt. Everest. Furthermore, the trek provides an insight into the culture of the Sherpa villagers, with its colorful prayer flags and traditional homes. As an added bonus, trekkers have the opportunity to have a close-up view of some of the highest mountains in the world, such as Everest, Lhotse, Choyu, and Makalu.

Important Note: Due to the maintenance at the Tribhuvan International Airport, the flight to Lukla is going to be operated form Ramechhap which is district nearby Kathmandu from of April. So, the current itineraries are subject to change because we need to spend a night in Ramechhap to catch the flight to Lukla, thus we advise you to contact us about it before booking this trip.
