Everest Base Camp Trek

This Spring and Autumn seasons.

This is the classic Himalayan Trek and travels directly through some of the most famous mountain terrain in the world. Our goal will be to reach the site of Everest Base Camp located at an altitude of over 17,000 feet. Along the way, we will trek through famous Sherpa villages and take in some of the most breathtaking views on the planet.

We will fly from Kathmandu to the small village of Lukla via helicopter instead of making the long drive to Ramichan and using fixed wing.  We load our gear onto yaks and porters and meet some of our local staff and begin the trek. We will visit the Sherpa capital village of Namche Bazaar. Visit the high Buddhist temple in Tengboche and take in views of some of the most famous mountains in the world such as Ama Dablam, Everest, and Lhotse.

Once we reach the Everest Base Camp, we spend the night at the base of the world’s most famous mountain and take in the amazing scenery.

While sleeping at the foot of the Khumbu Ice Fall, we will likely meet mountaineers from around the world staging their attempt of Mount Everest. We will take a day hike to the lookout point atop Kala Pattar (17,000) one of the most famous trekking peaks in the world.

The Everest Base Camp Trek is a non-technical walk through amazing mountain scenery. We will take a great deal of care in acclimatizing our bodies to the extreme altitude. Even though this is a non-technical trek suitable for beginner and experienced alike, we will manage the schedule very carefully and utilize our staffs local knowledge to deliver the safest and most encompassing cultural experience available. Our Mountain Professionals staff have led numerous expeditions to this area and are veterans of Everest climbing expeditions. Your guide is likely to be an Everest summiter.
