Have you ever longed to set your eyes on the earth's highest summit? This exciting and challenging trek to Everest Base Camp gives you the opportunity to take in some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Himalayas.

A truly big thank you for an excellent experience. The whole adventure from start to finish was so well organised

The adventure starts as we fly into Lukla set deep into the mountains. We'll then trek through the homelands of the Sherpa people, among their villages and monasteries, with distant views of Everest and Ama Dablam.

After reaching our goal of Everest Base Camp, we also have the opportunity to summit Kala Pattar for the awe-inspiring views of the Khumbu Glacier, Nuptse and the south-west face of Everest.

While previous trekking experience is not required, please note that this challenge is strenuous and graded as extreme due to the length of days trekking at high altitude.

At the highest point we reach 5,647m in altitude. A high level of training and fitness is therefore required. You will need to train for at least six months prior to departure.
