Everest
Base Camp trek conjures up images
of great challenge and achievement
– tinged with the romance and
thrill of being so close to the Mount
Everest - is truly an unforgettable
adventure holiday trip to Himalayas.
Most probably EBC is once in a lifetime
adventure walking holiday to see some
of the most awe – inspiring
and breathtaking Himalayan scenery
imaginable. We follow the footsteps
of legendary mountaineers: Sir Edmund
Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Shepra
in our adventure travel hike to Everest
base camp. Our itinerary to base camp
and Kalapathar is carefully designed
to ensure to have adequate time for
proper acclimatization, thereby enjoying
the trekking experience at its best.
This adventure to Everest base camp
trek in Nepal is suitable for people
who are generally fit and is well
within the reach of the average hill
walker.
We take
an exciting Himalayan flight to the
Lukla airstrip – the gateway
of Everest region trekking trips.
We trek along the Dudh Khosi valley
to Namche, the Sherpa heartland, nestling
in a horseshoe-shaped bowl surrounded
by forested ridges and snow-capped
peaks, on our way to Everest base
camp trekking. Exploring the insight
into the lives / culture of the Sherpa
people and Buddhist monasteries with
the views of Everest getting closer
every day, we hike up less trodden
route to Dingboche. Trekking via the
different Himalayan settlement of
Khumjung, Monla and Photse (southern
part of Gokyo valley) from where we
can see the Mt. Cho Oyu, the 6th highest
peak.
We have
an extra day for further exploration
and acclimatization at Dingboche,
a village set next to the incredibly
beautiful peak of Ama Dablam. The
alpine sceneries become more rugged
as we trek above the tree line on
the Khumbu glacier moraines on our
hike to Lobuche and then Gorak Shep,
the last settlement before Everest
Base Camp. We climb up the summit
of Kalapathar at the height of 5545
meters, an experience never to be
forgotten. If you have ever longed
to set eyes on the highest mountains
and rugged pristine glaciers around
you, then the view from Kalapathar
will stay with you forever.
Trekking
to the final destination of the Everest
Base Camp over the boulder strewn
moraines can be challenging but very
rewarding for the sense of achievement.
It brings together with the honor
and privilege of standing where so
many brave climbers have begun their
bid to climb the Mount Everest –
the beginning of their challenge but
the culmination of your adventure
holiday to the Everest Base Camp trek.
