Overview of the tour in Kathmandu

The Everest Base Camp trek is the most famous trekking route in the world, and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some of the most breathtaking scenery imaginable. Nepal is a fascinating country, and this trek gives an insight into the lives and culture of the Sherpa people. Our steady and well-paced ascent is perfected for the best acclimatization. Sunrise on the snow capped peaks above the Khumbu Glacier will afford you an unforgettable sight from the summit of Kala Patthar. This trek is for those who love heights and wants to push themselves to the limit. It is a tough challenge and not to be taken lightly despite generally well-graded paths because of some tougher sections along the Khumbu glacier.

The superb trekking to the Base Camp of Mount Everest is recommended as one of the most important and picturesque sites you must visit before you die. The Everest trekking is well-known because of the friendly Sherpa people, colorful festivals and the exceptional Buddhist monasteries.
