The world famous Everest Base Camp trek takes 19 days and reaches a maximum height of 5,545m at Kala Pattar, offering fine views of Mount Everest. The trek has a number of stunning attractions which include spectacular scenery, monasteries and the Sherpa people of the Solu Khumbu. The trek starts at Thamdara, thus avoiding any delays flying toi Lukla - on the way back you can either fly from Lukla, or trek out the same way you came. This is a great trek trek if you have the extra time – the approach to the Khumbu takes longer and the anticipation mounts. Most lodges and trails are really quiet, as most people now fly straight overhead to Lukla. A great time for reflection and acclimatisation.
Our trip is a few days longer than most to allow for full acclimatisation by party members.
