The Everest or Khumbu region is justifiably the most famous of all trekking and mountain regions of the world, offering some of the most rewarding trekking anywhere. Populated by Sherpas, the attractions of this area are the majestic mountains, high mountain villages, isolated monasteries, and the local's.
Home to the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest at 8848m, plus many of the world's 8000m peaks such as Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Makalu. First climbed in 1953, Everest still holds a fascination for many.

Everest Base Camp Trek.

The Everest Base Camp trek is a classic trek which follows in the footsteps of Hillary & Tenzing and ends with an ascent of Kala Pattar for superb views of Everest.
This trek starts with an exhilarating 45 minute mountain flight into the airstrip at Lukla. From here you trek slowly upwards to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, following the valley of the Dudh Kosi river. It is not long before you glimpse your first view of Everest as it peeks above the Lhotse-Nuptse ridge. At this point you are still many days walk away, but with careful acclimatisation it is not long before you find yourself high up in the heart of the Khumbu region.
On the Everest Base Camp Trek you visit Tengpoche monastery en route before continuing on to your goal, an ascent of Kala Pattar, a rocky outcrop to the west of Everest. This vantage point gives fantastic views of the Ice Fall and South Col as well as the immense south-west face of Everest which was first climbed in 1975 by Chris Bonington's team. This is truly a classic trek.
