Everest Base Camp Trek
The Everest Base Camp Trek is the world’s most iconic trekking adventure, taking you to the foot of Mount Everest (8,848 m) and the legendary Base Camp at 5,364 m. You’ll walk the same trail as Hillary and Tenzing, passing through colourful Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, suspension bridges, and rhododendron forests, with jaw-dropping views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and countless other giants every single day.
This trek isn’t just about the destination, the journey itself is unforgettable: the warm Sherpa hospitality, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, the roar of the Dudh Koshi River, and the feeling of standing at 5,364 m looking up at the highest mountain on Earth.

An early morning scenic flight takes you to Lukla, one of the world’s most iconic mountain airstrips.

Today’s trail follows the Dudh Koshi River, crossing several suspension bridges adorned with prayer flags. After entering Sagarmatha National Park, the route ascends steadily toward Namche Bazaar.
