Everest Base Camp Trek

Everest Base Camp trek is one of the popular and exciting routes in the world at everest region. ebc trek is an unbelievable experience that will introduce you to the scenic view of the snowcapped mountain in the Himalaya and reveals some of the most breathtaking scenery of the Himalayan region.


Most of the traveler wants a glimpse of the world’s highest mountain and that’s the reason why the Everest Base Camp trekking is so popular. EBC trek has a number of stunning attraction, not least of being able to say you’ve visited the highest mountain in the world. Everest Base camo Trek you right Himalayan, more so than any other teahouse trek. There are some lovely village and Gompa (monasteries), the friendly Sherpa people and unique combination of Flora and Fauna make the trek unbelievable. Most of the trek trail goes is through the Sagarmatha National park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (Sagarmatha is the Nepali name for Everest) and during the trek you will get a plenty of opportunity to observe the wild orchids and animals like: Musk Deer, Snow Leopard, Himalayan Black Bear, Birch, Juniper, Blue Pines, Firs, Bamboo and Rhododendron and many spectacular types of iridescent Pheasant.


Everest Base Camp trek takes to you at the high point 5555 m Kala Pattar, a small peak offering views of Mt Everest and Khumbu Icefall face to face. Ironically, the Everest views from the Base Camp 5364 m are actually quite unimpressive (in the world of mountain writer Ed Douglas, ‘Everest is like a grossly fat man in a room full of beautiful woman). Far more stirring is the graceful lines of surrounding peaks, such as Ama Dablam, Pumori, and Nuptse. Perhaps the best backdrop of the trek us found in the neighboring Gokyo Valley, off the main trail.

In the past decade, the tourist crowds in the Khumbu region have slowly break the records of trekkers those who visit at Everest Base Camp trek (swollen to record numbers), nearly 36,000 traveler attempting the trek each year. The number of Trekker is doubtless have dropped since the earthquake, but after the year of earthquake the number of trekker is dramatically increased In the Khumbu region. From this time the movement of the trekker is restively high and at the peak season it is difficult to get the room. So the trekker is not have any other option to stay at hotel or tea house without sharing the rooms. At the trekking season you will may share the trails with 10,000 or so other trekkers.


Facilities on the Everest trek are excellent. The upper reaches of the EBC Trek are through essentially uninhabited areas but lodges operate throughout the trekking season. Most of the peoples in the region us now involved/ support directly and indirectly with tourism, and the bookstore, trek-gear shops, bakeries and internet cafes in Namche Bazaar are look more like an alpine resort than a traditional Sherpa village.


The walking on this base camp trek is (surprisingly) not all that strenuous, mainly because new arrivals can only walk a few hours each day before they have to stop for the night to acclimatize. It may be tempting to keep walking at the end of a three-hour day, but it’s essential to take it slow on the first 10 days of this trek.


Your trip will begin with an exciting mountain flight to Lukla on the second day of your arrival at Kathmandu. From there the journey continues in the footprint of famous mountaineers Khumbu region for the walk into Everest Base Camp. On the way, you will see various colorful prayers flags and the Buddhist monasteries. On the third day, you will pass through the woods of rhododendron and magnolia forest. On the following day, you will reach at Namche Bazar, also a junction for the trekkers in a various trail of Everest region.
