The Everest Base camp trek offers trekkers the best EVEREST has to offer in a period of just two weeks. This lodge to lodge Everest base camp trek is truly an incredible experience of this magnificent region and its amazing people. The two weeks of journey to the foot of Everest begins from Lukla (2,805m/9,202ft) to the highest point on the trek Kala Patthar Peak (5,550m/18,208ft). In Namche Bazaar (3,436m/11,272ft) you will have some rest day a two for an acclimatization. From Namche we explore the Sherpa villages of Khunde and Khumjung before heading for Thyangboche Monastery.

After visiting Chukung Ri we trek to Lobuche for a day-hike along the Khumbu Glacier to Everest Base Camp (5,364m/17,598ft) and a climb of Kala Patthar Peak for a close encounter with Mt. Everest. Surrounded by some of the highest mountains on the Earth you will bask in this incredible mountain scenery before swinging back by way of, little visited, Phortse village to fly out of Lukla.
