Trip Summary
One of the great treks in the world. There's far more to
this trip than just a trek: the villages, the lukla flight,
the Sherpas, the Tengboche monastery, the Khumbu glacier,
Kala Pattar and of course Everest.
Our Everest base camp trek is a great introductory lodge
trek that offers sensational mountain views and an insight
into the lives of the Sherpa people. After exploring the
temples, shrines, bazaars and restaurants of Kathmandu we
take an exciting mountain flight to Lukla and trek up the
Dudh Kosi Valley, surrounded by the soaring peaks of
Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru. It’s a steep ascent to Namche
Bazaar, capital of the Kumbu Sherpas, where we are again
greeted by spectacular mountain vistas. We then follow the
trail to famous Tengboche, located high on a ridge where a
magnificent 360-degree panorama awaits. The views of
Everest, the Lhotse-Nuptse Wall, Ama Dablam and Kantega
dominate this peaceful and spiritual location – surely one
of the most tranquil and inspiring places in the world.

NOTE:
On adventure trek of this type, weather, local politics,
transport or a multitude of other factors beyond our control
can result in a change of itinerary. It is, however, very
unlikely that the itinerary would be substantially altered;
if alterations are necessary the leader will decide what is
the best alternative, taking into consideration the best
interests of the whole group. Where a change does occur, we
do everything we can to minimize its effect, but we cannot
be responsible for the results of changes or delays.
