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.
