Trip Overview

Rated one of the best treks in the world - The Everest Base Camp trek takes you deep into the heart of the Himalaya. The trek offers grandstand views of the world's highest mountains and it’s even more dramatic surroundings: Sherpa people and their unique culture and traditions, picturesque village and valleys, monasteries and Tibetan Buddhism, serene rivers and glaciers, flora and fauna and walking in the world’s highest Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park.

A trip like Everest Base Camp Trek is a once in a lifetime event that should only result in pleasant experiences all the way through. We are here to take you there with utmost care and comfort. 

"I am not what you would call a super fit person, but I opted for the Everest base camp trek. It was the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Do not be put off attempting any of these journeys, just because you can't run a marathon. A couple of unforgettable weeks later, I found myself sitting on the summit of Kalapathar looking down onto Everest base camp and up to the summit of Everest. I could hardly take in the beauty and the remoteness of where I was."

At few higher places, bathrooms are shared, but in adequate numbers. Hot showers are few - and where they are available, you have to pay for the privilege.
