Everest Base Camp Trek -14 Days

This 14-day Everest Base Camp trek (5364m) will take you to where New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay of Nepal stood before their famous ascent of the world’s tallest mountain - Mt. Everest (8848m). This is your chance to relive this significant moment in history, as well as visiting the UNESCO and World Heritage Sagamartha National Park. Along the way, you will visit the famous Tengboche Monastery where you can see this giant peak, as well as other 8000m monsters like Lhotse (8516m) and Makalu (8463m). This trek takes you up to Kala Patthar (5643m) which is the closest viewpoint of Mt. Everest and other enormous snow-capped Himalayan peaks. At EBC you can see the Khumbu Glacier descending down the face of Everest.

You will trek through gorges, lush forests across mountains in order to reach EBC. Ample time will be set aside allowing you to acclimatize before ascending to higher elevations. Passing through a number of villages in the Khumbu region will give you a first-hand glimpse of what the villagers endure to survive in the Himalayan mountains, and also how their Tibetan Buddhist faith enriches their lives. 

Along the trail you will be amazed at the close proximity of these snow capped peaks. The sheer size of these mountains makes you feel small and insignificant. It seems that you can literally reach out and touch them! Four of the tallest mountains in the world are in this region.

Your scenic flight into and out of Lukla will highlight the extensive range of the Himalayan Mountains. On the return fight you will have a different appreciation of them, due to having trekked through these mountains and valleys in order to reach EBC. This trek will appeal to nature-lovers and those who have always been in awe of seeing the world’s tallest peak.
