    Everest Base Camp

    The flight from Pheriche to EBC is a highlight in itself. You'll pass through glaciers, snow-capped massifs, and the infamous Everest Base Camp. After getting a picturesque bird's eye view of the base camp, Kala Patthar, and surrounding massifs, you'll be flown to Hotel Everest View. Kala Patthar offers the best view of Everest and surrounding peaks, a lot better than the view from the base camp itself.
