Everest base camp (5380m) trekking is without doubt the most renowned trekking destination in the world. Everest Base Camp is popular trekking as it reveals most breathtaking scenery of the Himalayas. Everest base camp trekking provides endless views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Cho Oyu, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Pumori and Kalapatthar. Generally Everest base camp trekking concludes within 15-17 days.
The descend to Imja Khola takes us to the villages of Pangboche and Pheriche and then finally takes us to the Khumbu Glacier. Lobuche, a vantage point for some spectacular views of the Ama Dablam and other peaks, comes after we follow the Khumbu glacier. Then the ascend to Kala pattar[5554m] from where the beautiful scenery of the Himalayas can seen makes you realize that every step that you took was absolutely worth it. Not only that, we can also see the picturesque southwest face of the colossal Mt. Everest. After reaching the Everest base camp at the end of the Khumbu icefall, we make our way back to Lukla.
