Among other trekking destination Everest Base Camp
trekking is the most desired by many trekkers and a
visit to Mount Everest is the life time dream of many
people. Being the ideal chance to take in the majestic
mountain and the splendid beauty of the region’s scenery
this trek takes its position in the top rank amongst
trekking on the world stage. This trek winds, climbs and
descends its way through lush low land and alpine
forest, Buddhist monasteries and authentic Sherpa
Villages. Highlights of this trek includes the lifestyle
of the Himalayan people, their religion, customs and
traditions, rare birds like the golden eagle, snow
pigeon, red-billed and yellow-billed choughs and flowers
like rhododendron, magnolias, blue pine, chir pine,
juniper and hemlock make the trekking a delight for
nature lovers.
Everest Base Camp trekking involves a remarkable amount
of up and down walking. Tea house trekking is possible
on the main trail to Everest Base Camp. While the visit
to Everest Base Camp is the goal for many trekkers, the
view of Everest itself from the base camp can be
disappointing. For the best views of Everest we
recommend taking the Kalapatter Trek. This trek can be
completed in conjunction with the Everest Base Camp Trek
