has become a Mecca for adventure travel enthusiasts. Just imagine standing at the
point where so many expeditions have left on their way to the summit of the highest
mountain in the world. The trek ventures deep into the Himalayas with amazing views of
many of the world's highest and most beautiful mountains. Not only can you enjoy the
breathtaking views across the Khumbu icefall, but you can experience all the amazing
landscapes and culture that Nepal has to offer too. A trip to Everest Base Camp is a
real adventure taking you from the bustling Nepalese capital of Kathmandu, via a small
aircraft, to Lukla and the start of the trek up the Khumbu Valley. The trek passes
through many Sherpa villages, including the famous trading centre of Namche Bazar,
as well as visiting Buddhist monasteries along the way.

will cross the Dudh Kosi twice by small suspension bridges before reaching the village
of Monjo and entering into the Khumbu National Park. After crossing another
suspension bridge the trek then climbs steeply for about two hours up 'Namche Hill' to
reach Namche Bazaar at 3,400m. Namche Bazaar is a famous and prosperous trading
town and is also the capital of the Khumbu region. The market is a fascinating spectacle
with many traders crossing the border from nearby Tibet to trade their wares.

center of the Khumbu. The climb is long yet compensated by views of Mt. Amadablam
and on clear days you can get the views of Mt. Everest and its surrounding peaks.

be lucky enough to meet teams making an ascent of the mountain. Some expedition
teams have spent up to two months at base camp waiting for the right weather
conditions to climb the mountain but luckily you will return to Gorak Shep after a lunch
prepared by your Sherpa porter team. From Gorak Shep it’s time to start your descent
back off the mountain. The route returns to Lobuje and then a quick lunch break of

lodges.

the small village of Monjo at 2,835m.
