Every hiker’s dream is to
stand face to face with Mt. Everest. - the tallest mountain
on earth!
Whether you call it Mt. Everest, Sagarmath
or Chomolongma, the highest peak in the world, here in the
far east northern corner of Nepal, is a stunning sight to
behold as we follow in the footsteps of Tenzing Sherpa and
Hillary who conquered the Everest first time and other great
mountaineers.
On this Everest base camp trek, your dreams will
come true. Three of the highest peaks - Mt. Everest, Lhotse
and Cho-Oyu guard this holy sanctuary of the Himalayan gods.
Orange monasteries are bestowed with colorful prayer flags;
carved prayer mani stones line the trails; and an unbending
faith in traditional values embrace this Sherpa world. Climb
Kalapathar (18,190’) for a stunning view of Everest
and other major peaks.
At the foot of Mount Everest, on its southern side, lies the
Everest Base camp used by the successful 1953 expedition of
Hilary and Tenzing and countless Everest expeditions ever
since. Although situated in the heart of the Himalayas, at
a height of 5600m metres (18,370ft), a trek to Everest Base
camp is not the sole preserve of high altitude mountaineers.
There are no rocky ridges to traverse, no scrambling or technical
climbing, just a good well-graded path, accessible to all
keen hikers and trekkers, which leads all the way to the foot
of the world’s highest mountain.
When choosing a trip to Everest Basecamp another factor to
look for is whether you will actually reach Basecamp or instead,
visit the nearby viewpoint peak of Kalar Pathar. Picture
above is a view of Mt. Everest from the ridge of Kala Patar -
You can stand here to see the Everest
Mountain Panorama..-
Top of the world!
Kala Patar, rather than Everest Base camp itself, offers the
best close-up views of Everest. As we appreciate that reaching
Basecamp is the pinnacle for many trekkers and walkers, all
of our Everest itineraries include both Basecamp and Kalar
Pathar.
Please join us
on this 16-day, the most famous trek in the world ( Everest
base camp trek) - a must do trek in your life time if you

give way to the snowline of the Himalaya; many of the
world’s highest mountains, including Kanchenjunga,
Lhotse and Makalu (the world’s 3rd, 4th, and 5th
highest respectively) may sometimes be seen from the
window of the plane. Once we are in Lukla Surprisingly,
this high-altitude trek begins by descending to the
river at Phakding. WE stay there.
|
| Day
04 : |
Phakding -
Namche (3445m).
The first day may have been surprisingly long for some,
but stay at Phakding allows us to begin the ascent to
Namche Bazaar first thing in the morning. At about half-way
up the hill, a gap in the trees allow us to spy Everest
for the first time. If the weather is clear the top
of the South-West Face will be just visible behind the
long Lhotse-Nuptse ridge. A plume can often be seen
stretching away from the very summit.
Namche is the most prosperous and the largest town in
the Khumbu. A bazaar is held here every Saturday. The
wares on display include meat, grains and vegetables,
tennis shoes and trinkets as well as hand woven aprons
and Tibetan boots. The Sherpas play host to trader from
the foothills, as well as Tibetans from over the border.

Dingboche, to drop steeply down to Periche. The Himalayan
Rescue Association operates a medical post here and
the western doctors conduct excellent seminars on Altitude

until the first part of June temperatures are relatively warm,
10° to 15° warmer than in the fall. Mornings are bright
and clear with the air slowly becoming hazier as the day progresses.
The rhododendron forests in springtime are spectacular, with
color displays that are "Himalayan" in beauty. June
is warm and green with many fewer people - the sense of solitude
is much greater than other seasons.

to early December is an ideal time for the best mountain views.
The days are typically sunny and clear with moderate temperatures
and the evenings are usually quite cold.
