Everest base camp Nepal Trek provides you
great opportunity to have unique experience.
If you have ever longed to set eyes on our
highest summit then this exciting trek in
the Everest region gives you the opportunity
to fulfil a dream, while taking in some of
the most breathtaking scenery in the
Himalaya. Ever since the days of early
climbing expeditions, the 8848m mountain has
had a lure of its own, drawing climbers to
scale it and trekkers to gaze on its icy
faces. Naturally, the trail to the base camp
of the mountain has become one of the most
popular trekking routes in Nepal, yet few
people return from the trek unmoved by the
experience of being right in among the
highest peaks in the world.
From Kathmandu we fly to Lukla, and the
adventure begins as we land at its tiny
airstrip. We spend several days trekking
through the homelands of the Sherpa people,
among their villages and Buddhist
monasteries, with distant views of Everest
and neighbouring Ama Dablam, considered by
many to be among the most beautiful
mountains in Nepal. A day is spent at Namche
Bazaar, the bustling market town in the
heart of Sherpa country, and at Pheriche a
cluster of houses set among the high summer
grazing pastures of the region. These rest
days allow time to explore further and to
acclimatize, an important factor in your
enjoyment of the trek. Those who have fully
acclimatized may trek to the Everest Base
Camp but without doubt, the highlight for
most will be the awe-inspiring views which
unfold from the summit of Kala Pattar - the
chaotic ice sculptures of the Khumbu
Glacier, Nuptse and the south-west face of
Everest itself. Not forgetting, of course,
the personal sense of achievement that many
experience at the end of their trek, when it
is all over and we fly back to Kathmandu. |
