The Everest Base Camp Trekking Route starts in the vibrant city of Kathmandu. From there, it takes you through the Everest region before returning to Kathmandu. The journey begins with a short, scenic flight to Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, followed by a trek through a trail rich in diversity. You’ll pass through unique villages like Nurning, Phakding, Benkar, Monjo, Jorsale, and more. Along the way, you’ll encounter monasteries, chortens, and prayer wheels, and cross suspension bridges adorned with prayer flags. You’ll also get to observe the wildlife and scenery of Sagarmatha National Park. The trek follows the torrential Dudh Koshi River (the Milky River) until you reach the bustling Namche Bazaar. Namche is a true Himalayan town with interesting shops, delicious food, stunning views, and rich culture. It is also a traditional trading hub that leads you further up to the ancient monasteries in Tengboche and Dingboche.

After acclimatizing at lower altitudes, you head to the beautiful Gorak Shep and the iconic Kala Patthar for a surreal view of the Himalayas. Kala Patthar is renowned for its breathtaking views of glittering peaks, including Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Pumori, Mt. Lhotse, and Mt. Changtse. In addition to the stunning mountains, you’ll also see the majestic Khumbu Glacier, the famous Khumbu Icefall, glacial rivers, and avalanche paths. On your return from the high Himalayas, you’ll explore the authentic lifestyle of the Sherpa community and gain insight into the rich cultural heritage of these legendary people. The trek concludes in Lukla before you return to the medieval capital city of Kathmandu.
