Climbing Mount Everest while on Holiday in Nepal

13 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking

Everest Base Camp Trek
This is a Trademark Trek that brings tourists to Napal closest to the master of all peaks…Mt. Everest…
The sublime ‘Khumbu’’ region in Nepal possesses some of the best trekking adventures ever imagined.
The venture brings you upfront with some of the most awesome views of the world’s highest mountain…its breathtaking to the bone.
This Nepal Region became a Household Word for adventure on the planet after the legendary Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa conquered this towering peak in 1953; and is today, arguably, the most popular attraction for trekkers from every corner of the globe. The Everest Base Camp Trek is one that should never be missed!

Most Backpackers heading to Nepal make sure the first thing they experience is a trip to this fabulous region that brings them so near to this well known peak. Our Guided Mount Everest Trip takes off with a fantastic scenic flight to Lukla, where the trail goes by the banks of the Dudh Kosi River as we wind our steps along Phakding where we get a warm welcome by the Sherpas as soon as we reach the bustling capital of the Khumbu called Namche Bazaar. Hereabouts, we hang around for a day to acclimatize with the thin air as we get our first glimpse of the Everest towering overhead of Namche which gives us an idea of the excitement that awaits us on the trails ahead; from here on, our classic voyage continues across lovely quiet monasteries, glistening glaciers, deep gorges and lively villages with smiling locals who greet us warmly as we pass through. Some of the oldest Buddhist monasteries are found in this region, the biggest monasteries being in Tengboche and Dingboche.

Our Voyage goes further up to the Khumbu Glacier at 4910m.
Backpackers Climbing Mount Everest
Our wilderness adventure really starts when we reach Gorakshep and Kalapathar. Kalapathar at an altitude of 5545m is the pinnacle of our journey. The views from Kalapathar are simply out of this world, and considered the best on earth. We get crystal clear sights of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse, its jaw-dropping! Before we reach these heights, we literally enjoy our walks through beautiful Sherpa villages, cultivated fields, junipers and alpine forests found within the protected zone of the Sagarmatha National Park.

The EBC Trek is an opportunity to hike where legends once walked, and gives us a great feeling of pride and joy; this is a trekking holiday where we discover concealed nature at its original best as we captivate moments on our video cams that give us memories for a lifetime to come…
