Overview

Trekking through the Himalayas is a spiritual experience. To be spiritual is to adapt to the nature to unite yourself with it. This trek offers a wonderful combination of culture, nature and landscape into an experience of a lifetime. But the rewards of this trek must be earned as it climbs over 20,000 feet and loses over 7,000 feet of elevation over 75+ miles over the course of the trek, at high altitudes.

On this version of the Everest Base Camp trek, you can accelerate your descent back by taking a helicopter from Gorakshep, with an extra day in Kathmandu built into the itinerary to allow for any helicopter flight changes and cancellations due to unfavorable conditions.

Trip highlights:

- Trekking to the base of the world's tallest mountain.

- Taking in sweeping views some of world's tallest peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori.

- Getting a close look at the Khumbu Glacier, world’s highest glacier.

- Opportunity to trek up to Kalapathar, one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the region

with views of 8000 meter peaks like Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho-Oyu.

- A visit to one of the oldest and biggest Buddhist monasteries, Tengboche monastery.

- Spending a day at Namche Bazar, the Sherpa capital.

- Experiencing the local culture and cuisine at the tea houses along your trek.

- Coming close to local wildlife and domesticated animals like Yaks

- Exploring Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, which is a world heritage site.
