Information on booking international flights
The Everest base camp trek is one of the most popular treks in the world and this is for a good reason! We have designed our Everest base camp trek with plenty of time for the necessary acclimatisation; the route takes you to some of the prettiest Sherpa villages and to Namche bazaar which is the colourful and vibrant heart of Sherpa country.
The mountain scenery is stunning with a range of the classic peaks visible along the trail including Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Kang Tega, Thamserku and Pumori. The high points of our itinerary is the climb to Kala Patar for the classic views of Everest and the hike from Gorak shep up the Khumbu glacier to Everest base camp.
