Everest Base Camp Trekking Trekking details and photos

Everest base camp trekking: (16 days)

Khumbu is famous for its proximity to the world’s hightest mountain Mt. Everest (Sagarmatha in Nepali) (8848 m) and for its Sherpa villages and monasteries. The primary goal of an Everest trek is the Everest Base Camp at an elevation of about 5340 meters. But you cannot see Everest from the base camp, so most trekkers climb Kalapatthar, 5545 metre high mountain on the southern flank of Pumori (7161m). We follow an ancient route that will take us through tiny villages, across high mountain passes, and through remote valleys, villages, and monasteries. The views grow even more spectacular as we venture up the Dudh Kosi River to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to the Khumbu region at. We will spend a night next to the Thyangboche monastery (12,887 feet), where you will be rewarded with spectacular views of Ama Dablam, Mt. Everest, and Lhotse.
