Unquestionably most of the trekkers in the world desire to trek to Everest Base Camp once in a lifetime. It is famous for its diverse snowcapped peaks and the welcoming and friendliness of local people.

Trekking is possible in this area the whole year round but spring (March-May) and autumn (Sept –Nov) seasons offer the best weather for the trip. Mid spring is a good time to see the hedgerows and trees bursting into blooming Rhododendrons in particular, adding a spectacular splash of color to the landscape.

A slow ascent through wonderful Sherpa villages allows us time to enjoy the wildlife panorama, visit a number of Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and take photos of prayer walls and scenic mountain views. Our trek culminates with a fine opportunity to trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp at an elevation of 5380m, and the nearby peak of Kala Pattar/5545m for fantastic views of Mount Everest and many other 8000m -6500m snowcapped peaks. This region also has Gokyo Lake and 3 high passes.
