Mount Everest Base Camp Trek is the most popular destination for trekkers in Nepal. Its popularity has grown since the first expedition to the Nepalese side of Everest in the 1950s. The trek takes off from Lukla. First, you will take 30 minutes morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and land at tiny Lukla Airport, and then your trek starts in Khumbu Region.
The trek leads to the Dudh Kosi valley route with a climb up to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazar. From Namche, you will trek along a heightened path from where you will witness the first good view of Everest. Next, you head towards Tyangboche Monastery, located on the mountain ridge.
To reach the Base Camp, you will trek through the glacier that takes you first to Lobuche and then to Ghorak Shep, where you will finally reach your destination Everest Base Camp, at the foot of the Khumbu ice falls.
