Everest’s legendary trails await on the "Everest Base Camp Trek," a 15-day strenuous journey designed for active adventurers and seasoned trekkers. Start and finish in Kathmandu, venturing through Phakding, Gorakshep, and beyond on a route known as "the steps to heaven."

Expect six to seven hours of trekking daily, passing through lush forests, Sherpa villages, and glacial landscapes, with full support from expert guides and porters.
