About

Embark on the legendary Everest Base Camp Trek — a 12-day journey through Sherpa villages, suspension bridges, alpine forests, and high-altitude valleys, all leading to the base of the world’s highest mountain at 5,364m.

A true bucket-list adventure for thrill-seekers and mountain lovers, this trek offers raw Himalayan beauty, rich culture, and unmatched views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. Best suited for those with solid fitness and a spirit for high-altitude challenge.

Major Attractions

Everest Base Camp (5,364 m)

Reaching Everest Base Camp is not just a milestone — it’s a moment of deep personal triumph. Nestled at the foot of the world’s highest peak, this iconic location offers an up-close view of the Khumbu Icefall and the towering south face of Mt. Everest. The camp itself, adorned with colorful prayer flags and surrounded by dramatic glaciers, feels alive with the energy of past and present climbers who dared to dream big.

Though it’s not the summit, standing here evokes the same sense of wonder and awe — a connection to something far greater than yourself. Whether you arrive during a bustling expedition season or in the calm of off-peak months.

Kalapatthar (5,500 m)

Standing at 5,500 meters, Kalapatthar is often considered the crown jewel of the Everest Base Camp trek — not for its altitude, but for what it offers: the most iconic and uninterrupted view of Mount Everest.

Unlike the base camp itself, which doesn’t give a clear line of sight to the summit, Kalapatthar provides trekkers with a breathtaking panoramic sweep of the entire Everest massif, including Nuptse, Changtse, Lhotse, and the majestic Khumbu Glacier below.

The climb to Kalapatthar is usually done in the early morning hours, often starting before dawn, so that trekkers can reach the summit just in time to witness the first golden rays of sunrise hitting Everest’s peak

Namche Bazaar

Namche Bazaar is the vibrant gateway to the Everest region and one of the most iconic stops along the trek. Nestled at 3,440 meters, this bustling Sherpa town sits in a natural amphitheater surrounded by towering peaks, offering a stunning first glimpse of the high Himalayas.

Often referred to as the “Sherpa Capital,” Namche blends traditional mountain culture with modern comforts — from yak cheese and Tibetan artifacts to German bakeries and Wi-Fi cafes. It’s also a critical acclimatization stop, allowing trekkers to adjust to the altitude while exploring nearby hikes like the Everest View Hotel or Khumjung village. Beyond its utility, Namche exudes a unique charm: colorful markets, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, and the warm hospitality of the Sherpa people.

Tengboche Monastery

Tengboche Monastery is one of the most spiritually and visually captivating highlights of the Everest Base Camp trek. Perched on a hill at 3,867 meters, this centuries-old monastery is the largest in the Khumbu region and holds deep religious significance for the local Sherpa community.

Framed by towering peaks like Ama Dablam, Everest, and Lhotse, the setting feels almost otherworldly — especially during early morning prayers when chants echo through the crisp mountain air.

Trekkers often time their arrival to witness these sacred rituals, adding a cultural layer to the physical journey.

Everest View Hotel / Khumjung Village

During the acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar, one of the most scenic and rewarding hikes takes you to the Everest View Hotel and the nearby Khumjung Village.

Perched at an altitude of 3,880 meters, Everest View Hotel lives up to its name by offering stunning panoramic views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and other majestic Himalayan giants—all from the comfort of a cozy terrace with a warm cup of tea in hand. This spot is often cited as one of the best “luxury viewpoints” in the region. Just beyond lies Khumjung, a traditional Sherpa village nestled under the shadow of the sacred mountain Khumbila. Known for its green-roofed houses, peaceful atmosphere, and warm local hospitality, Khumjung offers a beautiful glimpse into Sherpa culture. 

Dingboche

Dingboche is a picturesque high-altitude village nestled at 4,410 meters (14,470 ft) in the heart of the Khumbu region. Often referred to as the “summer valley,” 

Dingboche offers a dramatic shift in scenery. Vast open valleys replace the tree-lined trails of lower altitudes, framed by towering giants like Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and Island Peak. The village is a crucial acclimatization stop on the Everest Base Camp trek, allowing trekkers to adjust to the thinning air while soaking in breathtaking panoramic views. 

Unlike the busier settlements below, Dingboche is peaceful and expansive, with its traditional stone-walled fields and humble tea houses providing a warm, authentic Sherpa welcome.

Nangkartshang Peak

Nangkartshang Peak (5,083 m) is an optional but highly rewarding acclimatization hike that begins from the village of Dingboche. Often overlooked in favor of the more famous Kalapatthar, this peak offers an equally breathtaking vantage point, without the crowd. 

The trail climbs steadily above Dingboche, weaving past prayer flags and rocky ridgelines, eventually opening up to panoramic views of some of the greatest Himalayan giants, including Makalu (8,481 m), Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Island Peak. The hike typically takes 3–4 hours round trip and is an excellent way to prepare your body for the higher altitudes ahead. 

Lobuche Memorial / Everest Memorial

As you approach the village of Lobuche, the trail takes a solemn pause at the Everest Memorial, also known as the Lobuche Memorial

A sacred site that honors the lives of climbers and Sherpas who lost their lives in pursuit of Everest’s summit. Set against a dramatic backdrop of soaring peaks and silent skies, the memorial is dotted with fluttering prayer flags and hand-built stone cairns inscribed with names and stories. It’s a powerful moment of reflection that adds emotional depth to the journey, reminding every trekker that these mountains are not just breathtaking, they are also humbling.

Gorakshep

Gorakshep is the final village outpost on the Everest Base Camp trail, sitting at an altitude of around 5,164 meters (16,942 ft). Once the original base camp site in the 1950s, this remote and rugged settlement now serves as the last stop before trekkers make their final push to Everest Base Camp or hike up to Kalapatthar.

Despite its extreme altitude and sparse facilities, Gorakshep holds a unique energy — a mix of exhaustion, anticipation, and awe. Surrounded by dramatic Himalayan peaks like Pumori, Lingtren, and Nuptse, the atmosphere is surreal, especially during sunset when golden hues spill across the icy landscape. 

Dudh Koshi River Valley & Bridges

The Dudh Koshi River Valley is one of the most dramatic and soul-stirring landscapes you’ll encounter on the Everest Base Camp trail. Winding its way through deep gorges and lush pine forests, the river, whose name translates to “Milk River” for its frothy, glacier-fed appearance is a constant companion during the early days of the trek.

Its thunderous roar serves as both a soundtrack and a symbol of the raw power of the Himalayas. As you ascend through the valley, you’ll cross a series of suspension bridges that hang high above the river, swaying gently with every step, an exhilarating experience that adds just the right amount of thrill to your journey.
