Overview

Everest Base Camp trek is one of the world's most popular treks, a dream for trekkers. Reach Everest Base Camp (5,320m) and the Khumbu Glacier, where expeditions begin. Hike to Kalapathar (5,550m), a viewpoint offering close views of Mt. Everest and a 360-degree panorama of the Khumbu mountains. Explore Namche Bazaar, the gateway to Everest. Take a day hike to the Hotel Everest View from Namche and visit Tengboche Monastery, an important religious site in the region. This trek suits anyone with basic fitness, and no prior experience is needed.
