The soaring summit of Mount Everest attracts adventure seekers and adrenaline junkies from all over the world. Join us as we travel to the base camp of the highest mountain on earth during this 12-day, guided trip. Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla airport and follow the trail that travels along the banks of the thundering Dudh Koshi River.
Reach Namche Bazaar on the second day of the trip. Travel past the Sherpa villages of Debuche, Dingboche and Lobuche to reach Gorakshep, a small settlement (5,164m) that sits on the edge of a frozen, sand-covered lakebed. Reach Everest Base Camp, located in the middle of the Khumbu Glacier, on the eighth day of the trip.
Head for Kala Patthar next. Enjoy stunning views of the mountains, including Mt Ama Dablam, Mt Kangtega, Mt Nuptse, Mt Thamserku, Mt Kusum Kanguru, Mt Pumori, Mt Lhotse, Lobuche Peak, Island Peak, Mt Makalu and, of course, the breathtaking Mt Everest itself, towering above the rest.
Start your journey downhill to Lukla after that. Get the chance to enjoy the hospitality and friendliness of the Sherpa people along the way. Learn more about their culture and religion during a visit to Tengboche Monastery. We look forward to taking you on a trek of a lifetime. Please go through the itinerary for more details.

“Brilliant Experience. Himalayan Leisure Treking was fantastic to deal with and organised everything when I got sick. And our Guide DAWA was a Life Saver. He went above and beyond to look after me. I would highly recommend this company and you must INSIST on having Dawa as your Guide.”

Very Good
“I did this trek the second half of September and we were very unlucky with the weather. However, the experience was really rewarding after all, specially from the cultural side thanks to our guide Dawa who helped us a lot on understanding the lifestyle and current situation of the people living in the Khumbu valley and other regions of the Himalayas. And we did it to the base camp ofc!”

“The Trek was amazing. The lodges were really nice and the scenery was breathtaking. But the experience was so much better because of our guide. He made you feel like a real friend and helped with everything you needed. So if you want to have an amazing guide ask for "Dawa".”
