The Everest Base Camp trek is arguably the most famous trekking route in the world and one of the most popular in Nepal. It gives an insight into the lives and culture of the Sherpa people combined with a journey into some of the most breathtaking scenery. Our ascent is steady and well paced to best suit the acclimatisation needed. Sunrise on the snow capped peaks above the Khumbu Glacier is an unforgettable sight from the summit of Kala Pattar.
