The trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp continues to
be one of our most rewarding journeys. You will
have a day to explore the exotic city of
Kathmandu before flying into the remote mountain
town of Lukla (9,350 feet) to begin our trek
into the Khumbu region of the Himalayas. The
views of the Himalayan mountains from Lukla on a
clear day are breathtaking.
We follow an ancient route that will take us
through tiny villages, across high mountain
passes, and through remote valleys, villages,
and monasteries. The views grow even more
spectacular as we venture up the Dudh Kosi River
to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to the Khumbu
region at 11,300 feet. We will spend a night
next to the Thyangboche monastery (12,887 feet),
where you will be rewarded with spectacular
views of Ama Dablam, Mt. Everest, and Lhotse.
A non-technical climb of Kala Pattar (18,450
feet) highlights the truly spectacular panorama
of Sagamartha (Mt. Everest), the Mother Goddess
of the World (29,028 feet), and Lhotse (27,560
feet).
Spending the better part of two days at Everest
Base Camp will give us plenty of time for
exploring the base of the tallest mountain in
the world!
The return trek continues to delight adventurous
souls with more spectacular mountain views, lush
forested valleys, and opportunities to learn
about the Nepalese religion and culture.
