Everest Base Camp Trek - Nepal Himalayas
Trekking to Everest base camp and Kala Pathar conjures up images of great challenge and achievement – tinged with the romance and thrill of being so close to the Everest. Justifiably Everest base camp trek is one of the most popular treks in Nepal, famous, not only for its proximity to Mount Everest, but also for it's friendly Sherpa people, picturesque villages, diverse ethno-cultures, colourful festivals and monasteries. As we attempt to understand the rich Sherpa culture, we soon enter an endless maze of woven stories and tales, including those of the mysterious yeti
Your adventure trek to Everest base camp and Kalapathar starts from the tiny airfield of Lukla through Sherpa villages, forests of fir and rhododendron, and crosses high suspension bridges where you will see caravans of Dzopkyos (a yak-cow cross breed). Our trail enters Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa"capital" nestled in a horse shoe bowl, with it's colourful, bustling market with traders from local villages and as far away as Tibet. Above the tree line the scenery is stark but spectacular and the incredible monastery at Thyangboche, set against the backdrop of Ama Dablam, Everest and other huge snow capped peaks, is a photographer’s paradise. With time for acclimatisation en route, our goal is Everest base camp on the Khumbu glacier and then to climb Kala Pathar (5545m) for breath taking views of Everest and its surrounding peaks. A trek to Everest Base Camp is a classic adventure; selected among the world's 20 Journeys of Lifetime by the Observer, UK.
