Everest Base Camp Trek – Classic Route to the World's Highest Peak

Trip Overview

Follow in the footsteps of legendary mountaineers on the Everest Base Camp Trek, one of the most iconic trekking adventures in the world. This classic route takes you deep into the heart of the Khumbu region, through the Sherpa homeland, along the Dudh Koshi River, and high into the Himalayas for jaw-dropping views of Mount Everest (8,848m) and surrounding giants.

Your journey begins with a thrilling flight to Lukla, followed by an unforgettable hike through picturesque villages, pine forests, and alpine valleys. The trail climbs steadily to Namche Bazaar, a bustling mountain hub, before heading to the spiritual center of Tengboche Monastery, framed by the stunning Ama Dablam.

With proper acclimatization days built-in, you’ll reach Everest Base Camp (5,357m) and, for the best panoramic views, summit Kala Patthar (5,545m) — a vantage point offering front-row seats to Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse.
