The Everest Base Camp Trek starts with a sightseeing tour of the capital city of Kathmandu. You will tour the major UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the city which will include revered Hindu and Buddhist temples and monasteries, including the city’s oldest palace complex.
Next, you will experience a short but beautiful and thrilling flight to Lukla. In contrast to the hectic hustle and bustle of Kathmandu, Lukla offers the tranquility and peace of the countryside. Lush, green rolling hills open out to the distant views of the immense mountains.
Whilst feeling the constant companionship of the surrounding Himalayas, the Everest Base Camp Trek takes you through many authentic Sherpa villages and settlements. It not only includes Namche Bazaar but also villages like Tengboche and Dingboche. You will subsequently be going through the Sagarmatha National Park which is a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.
The Everest Base Camp Trek also includes the vantage point of Kalapatthar. From here, you can enjoy a breath-taking panorama of the entire Mount Everest massif. Along with the visit to the Everest View Hotel, you can also visit the Tengboche Monastery. In addition, the Khumbu Glacier and the Icefall are also notably famous places to visit in this area. Eventually, you will enjoy visiting the base of the world’s tallest mountain.
