Comprehensive Overview of the Everest Trek

Bounded by some of the highest peaks, including Mount Everest (8848.86m), this journey displays rich Sherpa Culture, a wide variety of flora & fauna, snow-capped peaks, tranquil villages, glaciers, icefalls, and many more charms. Besides all these alluring charms of this trek, the magisterial views of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, Pumori, Lhotse, Nuptse, etc. stand as the best part.

Our Short Everest Trek is an ideal package for those who have a very limited time and can’t cover our 14-day EBC Trek. This 12-day Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary is moderately difficult taking you to the maximum height of 5545 meters at Kala Patthar. Though it is a carefully customized itinerary it requires good physical and mental condition to enjoy the expedition to EBC and Kala Patthar. Beginners need top preparation to do this trek without any hassle. Meanwhile, experienced trekkers can do this trek to enhance their trekking journey.

Unlike Everest Three High Passes Trek, this expedition to the EBC takes less than 2 weeks to complete and discover the magic of the Khumbu Region. Likewise, the bustling town of Namche Bazaar and famous Tengboche Monastery are always on the sights of visitors. Also, the Everest Bungee which has been recently invented has caught the eyes of a lot of trekkers. If you are a daring person to test your limit on this adventure then, give it a try. This Everest Journey with Bungee could be your life time experience and a story that you can tell to your grandchildren.

Is the Everest Base Camp Trek Worth it?

Once you start the journey at the right time, every moment of the EBC is worth it. The trek delivers more than you have imagined. Every year when thousands of trekkers travel to Nepal, it is their dream to glimpse Mount Everest. Then, wander through this legendary Everest Base Camp Trek Route navigating the historical villages, Monasteries, valleys Sherpa Settlements, Sagarmatha National Park, etc. to witness the highest peak in the world. Every penny of your money is worth it once you hop onto that plane from Kathmandu to Lukla. Even the flight from Kathmandu-Lukla will give you the trailer of the beautiful Himalayas you will admire for the next 12 Days of Everest Base Camp Trek.

Kala Patthar Hike vs Everest Base Camp Hike

Both Kala Patthar Hike and Everest Base Camp Hike are part of the Everest Base Camp Short Trek. Also, both hike starts from the beautiful Gorakshep Village, the final camp of the EBC Trek. It takes around 2 hours to climb Kala Patthar covering 1.2 Km from Gorakshep. The top of the Kala Patthar provides a breathtaking panorama of Mount Everest, Lhotse,Nuptse, Pumori, Ama Dablam, and many others. Meanwhile, Everest Base Camp Hike is around 4.3 Km from Gorakshep which takes around 3-4 hours to reach. You can witness glacial moraines and other peaks from the base camp. However, the views of Mt. Everest from the base camp are hard to see.

How difficult is it for beginners to do Short Everest Base Camp Hike?

Reaching the top of the Everest Base Camp is often challenging if you are a beginner. This kind of high-altitude expedition requires enough physical and mental effort to cover 8-12 Km daily. Hence, for a beginner with a lack of preparation, it is always going to be a tough journey. Rugged trail during the Hike to Kala Patthar, 4-5 nights over 4500 meters, and altitude sickness can be major problems for novice trekkers.

Therefore, pre-trek preparations and practices are very essential if you are a first-time hiker. Jogging, gym workouts, day hiking, cycling, eating the right food, and packing essential clothes ensure your trekking flexibility. Also, guided trekking provides even more convenience and moral support in case of difficulties. Our Sherpa Trekking Guide will provide you with enough information on how to tackle the difficulties, using acclimatization day, and lead you to EBC safely. Everest Base Camp Trekking Preparation is equally crucial before heading to the foothills of Mount Everest.

Up to EBC!

Great communication, amazing customer service, and a wonderful experience. Nick was
extremely accommodating and courteous. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to
visit the beautiful mountains of Nepal! Will definitely use them again for my next trip!

Excellent experience, Review of: 14 Day - Everest Base Camp Trek

This company made all the necessary arrangements from airport pick up to drop. Was very helpful as our flight from Lukla was cancelled and did the helicopter arrangements for us. Highly recommend to do ur trek from this company. Thank...
