One of the most famous treks in the world takes you deep into the heart of the Nepalese Himalaya. You’ll trek four to five hours a day surrounded by many of the world’s highest and most beautiful mountains. Along the way there’s a chance to soak up local food and culture and you’ll sleep in traditional, warm and friendly tea houses run by Sherpa families.
We offer two variations of this classic trek, see also Everest 3 Peaks 3 Passes. Both treks take you all the way to Base Camp itself, which sprawls out below the dramatic tumbling Khumbu Icefall, and include climbing to the famous Everest viewing point of Kala Pattar (5,550m). As well as Everest, you’ll meet its impressive neighbours: Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam.
Experience Required
The Everest Base Camp Trek is suitable for keen walkers/trekkers who are able to walk for 4 – 5 hours in a day, with a light rucksack.
Equipment
As well as a detailed equipment list that will be sent to you upon booking we now offer an online trek shop.
