OVERVIEW
There are just too many superlatives to describe the Everest region of Nepal. Magnificent, awesome, awe inspiring are amongst a few. The Everest region has the highest mountains in the world and it is for this reason that visitors come here. However there are far fewer visitors than one would imagine as the Annapurnas take the lion share of trekkers, so the Everest region remains remote and largely unspoilt. We offer 3 challenging expeditions to Everest Base Camp. All include the must do climb to Kala Pattha with its legendary views of Everest itself. These expeditions are a challenge to all as altitude can play a part in ones enjoyment of the region. For those who want to see Everest, it's summit and the Khumbu Glacier as well as understand the Sherpa way of life, then our Everest Base Camp expeditions are for you.

Everest Base Camp (18 Days)
Our 18-day trek offers trekkers the best this area has to offer without taking too long. This trek is truly an incredible experience of this magnificent region and its fascinating people. From Lukla (2,805m/9,200ft) we trek to Namche Bazaar (3,436m/11,270ft) for a day of acclimatization and optional hikes. From Namche we explore the Sherpa villages of Khunde and Khumjung before heading for Thyangboche Monastery. After visiting Chukung Ri we trek to Lobuche for a day-hike along the Khumbu Glacier to Everest Base Camp (5,364m/17,600ft) and a climb of Kala Patthar Peak (5,550m/18,200ft) for a close encounter with Mt. Everest. Surrounded by some of the highest mountains on the Earth you will bask in this incredible mountain scenery before swinging back by way of, little visited, Phortse village to fly out of Lukla.

Moderate to difficult trekking from 2,805m (9,200ft) to 4,940m (16,200ft) with optional day hikes up to 5550m (18,200ft). Accommodation in comfortable lodges run by Sherpa families. The trek starts with a flight from Kathmandu and includes all meals, services of experienced English speaking Trek Guide and porter/s to carry luggage. Clients carry back pack only and walk at their own pace.
