Everest Base Camp Trek
Trek through a tranquil mountain range of gentle giants and gaze up at the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest.
Location: Starting from Kathmandu
Trekking distance: Approx 105km
Cost: Various funding options available
Follow in the footsteps of the great explorers and join us for an unforgettable trek to the foot of the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, standing tall at 8,848m. We’ll trek from the picturesque village of Lukla, nestled in the Nepalese Himalayas, to the famous base camp of Mount Everest and back again! Our route allows us to acclimatise gently before reaching high altitude scenery, as it leads us through Sherpa country to this tranquil mountain range of gentle giants. We’ll discover some of the most breathtaking scenery imaginable from start to finish on this unforgettable trek as we make our way to the colourful prayer flags of Everest Base Camp.
