Trip Overview

The Everest Base Camp trek is one of the most popular and iconic trekking routes in the world, attracting thousands of adventurers every year. It offers stunning views of the world’s highest peaks and provides an immersive experience into the culture of the Sherpa people. On our all-inclusive Everest Base Camp Trek, witness the majesty of Mount Everest [8,848m/29,029ft] up close along with vistas of numerous other snow-capped mountains. The trail crosses [5,000m/16,400ft] in the final few days before arriving at Everest Base Camp, but despite the trip being rewarding, it isn’t as difficult as people think and doesn’t require any prior trekking expertise. Highlights of this trip include the mountain flight to Lukla, the panoramic views of the Himalayas, monasteries, and culture, all of which add to the exciting Everest base camp trekking tour.
