Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal
Introduction
A challenging Himalayan trek.
Solu Khumbu is the most famous area of Nepal and perhaps in the
entire Himalaya. It is the home of Mount Everest, the world’s
highest mountain, as well as several other giants, and of the hardy
mountain people renowned in mountaineering lore - the Sherpas.
After flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you commence your trek along
the Dudh Kosi Valley passing numerous small villages and
homesteads. Beyond Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa ‘capital’,
you’ll pause at the celebrated monastery at Thyangboche before
continuing on to reach Everest Base Camp itself - scene of many
triumphs and tragedies. Before descending from the mountains you’ll
also ascend Kalar Patar, a fine vantage point with magnificent
views of Everest and the surrounding peaks.
The Nepalese call Everest Sagarmatha, or ‘head of the
oceans’. Everest is one of the world’s most awe-inspiring sights
and, along with its surrounding peaks, can truly be called one of
the natural wonders of the world - a perfect place for
adventure!
