Tour Overview
14 days Everest Base Camp Trekking is one of the best trekking in Nepal. Leaving the arrival and the departure day, we spent 12 days in the Khumbu region of Nepal. Taking trekkers all the way up to the base camp of Mt. Everest and the altitude of 5,545m (Kala Patthar), this trek allows trekkers to explore and enjoy the natural and cultural magnificence of the Khumbu region en route to the base camp of Everest. Apart from the views of some of the major towering peaks of the world including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Cho Oyu, trekkers also get a chance to explore the attractions of the Sagarmatha National Park. These attractions in the area are beautifully backed up by perfect culture, lifestyle and a sincere hospitality of the Sherpa people living in the region.
