Everest Base Camp Holidays

Everest Base Camp is the destination of Nepal’s most popular trekking route. For many travellers it is a big dream to visit the highest mountain in the world, even if it is “only” the foot of it. The trek takes about 2 weeks from and to Lukla.

Everest Base Camp is not a permanent settlement. It is a semipermanent agglomeration of tents that moves around. There are no views of Everest from here, for good views of the peak it is recommended to ascent Kala Pattar instead. It is usually visited in a day trip from Gorak Shep, which takes 6 hours there and back and follows the Khumbu Glacier.
