About the Trek

Earth's Most Iconic
Mountain Journey

The Everest Base Camp Trek is not simply a hike — it is a pilgrimage to the roof of the world. Beginning in Kathmandu and flying into the legendary Tenzing-Hillary Airport at Lukla, the trail weaves through Sherpa culture, ancient monasteries, rhododendron forests, and dramatic high-altitude terrain before arriving at the foot of Mount Everest at 5,364 metres.

Along the way, iconic waypoints — Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, Dingboche, Lobuche, and finally Gorak Shep — each offer their own rewards. An optional early-morning hike to Kala Patthar (5,545m) delivers what many trekkers call the finest sunrise view on Earth: Everest in full golden light.

The EBC trek demands endurance and mental strength, not mountaineering skills. Good physical fitness and regular cardio training beforehand is all you need to complete this journey successfully.

02

Best Seasons: Oct–Nov & Mar–May

Autumn offers crystal-clear skies and stable conditions. Spring brings wildflowers at lower elevations and equally fine summit views. Both windows are ideal for the EBC trek.
