EBC Trek Highlights

EBC Trek Overview

The Everest Base Camp trek offers the perfect blend of well-maintained paths and the pristine beauty of the Himalayas. Nestled in the heart of the majestic Himalayas, the Everest region is renowned for its stunning landscapes and the hospitality of the Sherpa people. This trek not only leads you to the base of the world’s tallest peak but also immerses you in Nepal’s rich cultural heritage and traditions.

This 14-day trek to Everest Base Camp reaches an altitude of approximately 5,364 meters, providing breathtaking panoramic views of several 8,000-meter-high peaks. Along the way, you’ll witness the awe-inspiring Pumori, Lhotse, Nuptse, Lobuche, and, of course, the iconic Mt. Everest.

The EBC trek begins with a scenic 35-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla during January, February, June, July, August, September, and December, or a 20-minute flight from Manthali/Ramechhap to Lukla, which includes a 5 to 6-hour drive from Kathmandu to Manthali in March, April, May, October, and November.

Starting and ending in Lukla, the trek follows the banks of the Dudh Koshi River, passing through Sagarmatha National Park on the way to Namche Bazaar. Namche Bazaar is a key trading hub in the Everest region and a popular acclimatization spot for trekkers.

The trek is demanding, but the captivating scenery of lush forests, farmland, hills, and mountains provides constant motivation. After a day of acclimatization in Namche Bazaar, we continue our journey to Tengboche.

In Tengboche, we visit the famous Tengboche Monastery before continuing our trek to Dingboche and eventually Lobuche. Throughout this hike, you’ll have views of Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam, and many other peaks.

As we move forward, we hike to Gorak Shep and walk alongside the Khumbu Glacier until we reach Everest Base Camp. From here, we get a view of the world’s deepest glacier, the Khumbu Glacier, before heading back to Gorak Shep for the night.

The next morning, we hike up Kala Patthar to witness the sunrise over Mt. Everest and other peaks. After taking in the spectacular views, we return to Gorak Shep and then descend to Pheriche Village.

Retracing our steps, we pass through lush rhododendron and juniper forests on our way back to Tengboche, and continue to Namche. Finally, a flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu marks the end of the Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal.
