The journey to base camp and Kalapathar is once in a lifetime adventure of great challenge and achievement with thrill of being so close to stand next to the tallest mountain on planet.

Resposible trekking to Everest base camp with 01 Trekker : 01 Porter
We have time for trek orientation and preparation before we take an exciting flight to Lukla STOL airport to start the adventure of the Everest base camp trek. Hiking along the Dudh Koshi river, we climb up to the busting Sherpa settlement of Namche Bazaar where we spend two nights to ensure proper acclimatization with exploration hike aorund. Leaving Namche we hike to hidden valley to Khunde and Khumjung and on to Dingboche via Phortse village following the less trodden and longer route to base camp. Picturesque Dingboche nestles in the sunny valley facing the most beautiful Amadablam peak - a great place to spend two nights - important days - to adjust the thinner oxygen level before the climb up above 5000 meter.
The alpine sceneries on Everest base camp trekking become more rugged as we trek above the tree line on the Khumbu glacier moraines to Lobuche and then Gorak Shep, the last settlement before the base camp. Climbing to the landmark destination of the Mount Everest base camp to leave the footprint over the boulder-strewn moraines can be challenging but very rewarding for the sense of achievement. We climb up the Kalapathar peak at the height of 5545 meters, the highest elevation on our entire trek, an experience never to be forgotten. If you have ever longed to set eyes on the highest himalayan peaks and rugged pristine glaciers around you, the view from Kalapathar will stay with you forever. We trek different way down to Lukla via the Pheriche and Thyanboche monastery allowing time to visit to the places of interest. We ensure the medical trained group leader and enough support crew with proper safety back up in your adventure holiday trip to Everest base camp trek to make it a safe and trip of a lifetime in the Himalayas.
