Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar Trek

Considered one of the finest treks in the world, the Everest Base Camp Nepal Trek provides trekkers with exceptional close-ups of the world’s highest mountain. This, combined with trekking through fine Sherpa villages, and views of some of the world’s most beautiful mountain scenery, makes it a not-to-be-missed experience.

During acclimatization days, trekkers will have time to explore the Khumbu region villages, including the fascinating market town of Namche Bazaar. Still, the high point of the trek for many will be the awe-inspiring sunrise views from the summit of Kala Pattar, from the mighty south-west face of Everest to the massive ice towers of the Khumbu Glacier.
