One of the most well-known and popular treks in the Himalayas is the Everest Base Camp Trek, a 14-day journey to Mount Everest's base camp. This hike provides an unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe the Sherpa villagers who live on the world's tallest mountain, Mount Everest, in addition to witnessing the majestic Everest peak itself. The Everest Base Camp Trekking adventure takes you far into nature, away from modern amenities, and offers you some of the most beautiful scenery and visits to some of the remotest and oldest monasteries.
The trek starts from Lukla, following the Dudh Koshi river valley, to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazar at 3440 meters (11290 ft), which serves as the Everest region's nerve center. Trekkers generally give themselves a day of rest to acclimatize at this point. After another two days of trekking, they arrive at Dingboche, located at 4260 meters (13980 feet), before taking another day off to continue acclimatizing. It takes more than two days to get from Kala Patthar, at a height of 5545 meters, through Lobuche or Gorakshap to Everest base camp (18192 ft). For the ideal setup, Adventure Glacier Treks & Expeditions consistently offers the greatest service during the Everest Base Camp Trek.
