Everest Base Camp Trekking Trail in Nepal

The  Everest base camp (4,500m) is without doubt one of the most famous trekking in the world. This trekking is also known as Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar trekking in Everest region. It reveals some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Himalayas. After exploring Kathmandu, you fly to Lukla where your trek to Everest begins. The trail follows the course of the Dudh Kosi, the ‘River of Milk’, gradually climbing through forests of rhododendron and magnolia. It crosses remote valleys, villages and monasteries. There are rest days at Namchae Bazaar  and at Dingboche village  for the acclimatization. A non technical climb of Kalapathar (5,545.5m 18519ft)
highlights the truly spectacular panorama views of Mount Everest(8848m) and many of the world’s highest and most beautiful mountains. The return trek continues to delight adventurous souls with spectacular mountain views and lush forested valleys.
