The Everest Base Camp trek is the ultimate challenge of a lifetime! This world renowned classic trek from Lukla to Kala Patthar takes us through the Worlds highest mountain range, and culminates with some of the best views of Mount Everest. It is a stunning route taking in some of the most breath-taking mountain scenery imaginable. This extreme challenge takes us to a staggering altitude of 5,545m, and offers beautiful views of snowy peaks such as Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,511m) and Makalu. It is pure Himalayan magic!
The challenge is taken at a relaxed pace, with rest days for proper acclimatisation. A sound level of fitness is required to make the most of this excellent trek. The walking at times will be strenuous and we will be tested to the limit, particularly on the climb to Kala Patthar – but the rewards will be well worth it! So go on, challenge yourself to the extreme and join us on this magical Everest experience!
