Tour overview
This is a fabulous chance to visit a place where history was made when in 1953 New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay of Nepal planned their climb to the peak of the world’s tallest mountain – Mt.Everest (8848m). This 14 day Everest Base Camp trek (EBC-5364m) will take you to the exact place where they camped and planned their assault on Mt. Everest. The trek is within the UNESCO and World Heritage Sagamartha National Park. On the trail to EBC, you will visit the distinguished Tengboche Monastery where you have views of this enormous peak, as well as other 8000 meter mountains like Lhotse (8516m) and Makalu (8463m). A short trek up to Kala Patthar (5643m), the closest viewpoint of Mt. Everest and other Himalayan peaks is a definite highlight of this trek. At EBC you can also see the massive Khumbu Glacier making its way down from Everest.
The trails will take you through gorges, lush forests and across mountains before you reach EBC. There will be an opportunity to acclimatize before ascending to higher elevations. You will also trek through many villages in the Khumbu region that will give you a first-hand experience of what the villagers withstand in order to survive in the Himalayan region, and also how their Tibetan Buddhist faith enriches their lives.
You will be in awe at the closeness of these snow capped peaks as you head to EBC. The sheer size of these mountains makes you feel small and miniscule. It seems like you can just reach out and touch the mountains. Four of the tallest mountains in the world are in this region.
Your scenic flight into and out of Lukla will highlight the far-reaching extent of the Himalayan Mountains. On the return fight you will have a different respect for them due to you having trekked through these mountains and valleys on your way to EBC. This trek will appeal to nature-lovers and those who have always sought to see the world’s tallest peak.
Sherpa Expedition Teams will attend to all permits, meals and accommodation on the trek.
