Overview

Everest base camp trekking is one of the most popular adventures around the whole Himalaya region among adventurers and trekkers. Due to its spectacular scenery of the world's tallest mountain range, as well as the great warm hospitality of the native Sherpa. Where the walk leads to you in the heart of Mt. Everest at base camp, facing a stupendous panorama of giant peaks.
 
Epic Adventures presents Everest base camp trekking, with flexible itinerary days suitable for all types of people and age groups. Although a high-altitude trek, our program is designed to make the walk much easier for all trekkers. Having ample time for acclimatization with rest days so that one can enjoy the beauty of the trek.
 
Everest Base Camp is one of the most visited regions where trekkers can find all types of comfort, from basic, standard, to luxury lodges. The charm of the trek is following a scenic trail throughout the journey with time to explore the local immense culture.
 
Our marvelous journey begins in Kathmandu, with a sightseeing tour around famous landmarks of the country and world heritage sites. From Kathmandu next early morning a short scenic flight to Lukla, where adventure to Everest base camp starts. Heading due north towards the mountainous country of the high Khumbu region, lined with picturesque mountain scenery. The walk leads past interesting villages from Lukla onward steeped with immense Buddhist culture as you follow the Dudh Kosi River. As the trek progresses, enter the Sagarmatha National Park, a World Heritage Site since 1979, and then head towards Namche Bazaar. 
 
A long climb from the river bed to a high ridge on a winding scenic trail to famed Namche Bazaar. A large village-size moderate town with a wide range of facilities for trekkers as well as for locals. Namche holds a colorful and lively Saturday market once a week; no wonder it is called Namche Bazaar. 
 
A favorite place among travelers and a perfect height for acclimatization, where one can spend an extra day. From Namche, after an enjoyable rest day for a hike to viewpoints, the adventure continues on a scenic trail. Overlooking grand scenery of beautiful landscapes and views of giant peaks with Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam.
 
After a lovey walk, then up to Tengboche, a beautiful spot tucked on a high ridge surrounded by an array of peaks. Tengboche is one of the best view points of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam, with other ranges of lesser peaks. At Tengboche, enjoy the spectacular panorama of Everest with adjoining peaks that encircle this marvelous spot. Tengboche is located amidst beautiful woods of rhododendron and pine trees with a colorful, majestic monastery; a tour of the monastery interior is worth a visit. 
 
Which is one of the highlights of the adventure to observe the young monks and priests in religious activities. From Tengboche onwards, tree lines and vegetation slowly fade as you enter arid and barren mountainous terrain. Altitude gains slowly as the walk reaches Dingboche, located on a scenic Imjatse valley beneath the north face of Ama Dablam.
 
A beautiful spot for grand views of Ama Dablam, Island Peak, Taboche with Nuptse, and Lhotse peaks. A great place in Dingboche to spend another extra day to support acclimatization and hike to nearby hills. 
 
Spending an enjoyable day in Dingboche facing the grand Himalayan panorama with the world's 5th highest Mt. Makalu and Island Peak. The adventure continues, heading due north towards our final destination, Everest base camp. Walk on a gentle uphill path with an overnight in Lobuche, as the route follows on moraine and glacier to Gorakshep.
 
Located beneath Mt. Pumori and Kalapathar hill, with a few nice lodges, from here a few hours trek to Everest base camp. Everest Base Camp, actually not the best view for Mt. Everest, but an amazing spot. Dream of millions to be at the foot of the world's number one and major adventure destinations in all the Himalayas. Where you are standing beneath giant peaks of Nuptse and Lhotse with close views of great Khumbu Icefall and glaciers.
 
During mountaineering expedition season from March to May, base camp is active and lively with many climbers of different nations.
 
On achieving goal and target, the next and last adventure takes you to the highest point of the trek on top of Kalapathar. A black rocky hill, hence the name Kalapathar (black rock), offers a mind-blowing panorama of surrounding high peaks. 
 
The only spot for closet and glorious views of Mt. Everest, enjoy the fantastic scenery lined with an array of peaks. After a mesmerizing moment, descend back to Gorakshep and continue the journey downhill to Lukla for the last overnight stop around Khumbu. 
 
The next morning, a swift flight brings you to hustle and bustle city life in Kathmandu after an overwhelming adventure on Everest Base Camp Trekking.

Great Experience of 12D11N of Everest Base Camp Trekking

A wonderful 12D11N journey and many unforgettable memories. Due to bad weather the original flight is cancelled. I have to take helicopter in the next day to arrive in Lukla to start my trekking. But the following 12D11N trekking undergone so well. I took many great and beautiful photos. Day by day reaching Everest Base Camp (EBC). Experienced sunny day, rainy day and snowy day. Finally reaching the destination - EBC. Last but not least, sunrise on Kala Patthar. Nima is a great and experienced guide. He helps me carrying my sleeping bag and power band. This makes my trekking much easier and finally finished the whole journey. Therefore, I recommend you should try at least one in your lifetime through Epic Adventures Nepal Pvt Ltd.
