There are as many as 10 UNESCO heritage sites around the city, which is enough evidence of how spiritual and historical this city is. The valley is decorated with green hills all around and provides the chance of exploring sightseeing from the top of the mountains. This city offers a glimpse into Nepal’s spiritual and historical heritage before the journey into the rugged Khumbu region begins.

Scenic Flight to Lukla

The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is a mere 30-minute journey, but it offers the magical vibes of the mountains when flying over the Himalayas. Not only the mountains, this trek provides the serene views of valleys, green jungles, and vibrant settlements from a bird’s-eye view. The flight is just a trailer before our mystic adventure towards the top of the Everest region. The most adventurous journey has just begun.

Trek to Namche Bazaar

We will have a first glimpse of the adventurous trek when we walk towards the Namche Bazaar from Phakding. Crossing suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River and passing through the vibrant and silent Sherpa villages will add an enchanting experience to the Everest Base Camp region. Namche, which used to be a major trade hub between Tibet and Nepal, has now been developed as a major stayover place during the Everest Base Camp trek or nearby treks.

Acclimatization at Namche Bazaar

This day is dedicated to rest and exploring the city of Namche. The town used to be a bustling trade hub back in the day and now serves the trekkers.

We will have the picturesque views of Everest and Ama Dablam for farsight.

Tengboche Monastery Visit

The trek to Tengboche from Namche Bazar introduces you to the iconic Tengboche Monastery, which is the spiritual heart of the Khumbu region. We set our feet against the backdrop of Everest and Ama Dablam. This sacred pilgrim is the spiritual capital of the region. We will pay a visit to this serene site, which will be one of our major highlights of the trek.

Dingboche and Nagarjun Hill Hike

Dingboche is our next destination for an acclimatization day. The day includes an optional hike to Nagarjun Hill, which stands tall at 5100 m.

Everest Base Camp is the major attraction and achievement of this trek by far. We will ascend from Dingboche as our final steep climb before the Everest touchdown, surrounded by towering glaciers and rugged terrain in the Khumbu. We will pass the Khumbu Icefall and distant Everest Summit in our eyescapes. The dream of touching the soil of Everest Base Camp is setting up.

Everest Base Camp Trek – 14 Days Reviews

aviva everest base camp trek
Exceptional EBC & Gokyo Lakes Trek!

I had an incredible experience doing Everest Base Camp trek with Gokyo Lakes and Cho La Pass.

Bishnu and the team at Peaceful Nepal Tours and Treks were amazing and always went the extra mile to ensure that we have the best experience possible. The trek was well organised, professional and our accommodation was great. Our guide Bishnu was truly excellent and really knowledgable. With 14+ years experience, he is the best in the business and was able to plan the perfect itinerary for us.

Since Peaceful Nepal Tours and Treks is a small local company, we got the benefit of a personalised tour, constant priority treatment and we got to support local vendors – this made our trek really special.

I highly recommend booking a trek with Peaceful Nepal Tours and Treks!

Amazing experience at EBC

We had an amazing trekking experience with Peaceful Nepal Tours and Treks and Bishnu at Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes. This is my second trek with Bishnu because he has so much experience and always makes sure we have a good time. He is our guide but also our doctor and our coach cheering us on the mountain while at challenging altitudes. We changed our itinerary so many times but he was always flexible and made the necessary arrangements. He has a great network throughout the trekking community and all his guests get the benefit of that too! Definitely recommend a trek with Peaceful Nepal Tours and Treks!

EBC trek with Guide Bishnu

We had two amazing weeks with our guide Bishnu on our trek to Everest Basecamp!! Although we went there in high season, he knew how to avoid the big crowds what made the trip relaxing. I can’t recommend Bishnu more… he’s always smiling, telling good jokes and you can learn lots about the mountains, nature and culture! It was no problem to get near Lukla by jeep, he organized everything. He always made sure that we felt comfortable and healthy! Big plus: his English is really good, so even tough we all weren’t native English speaker, we had no problems communicating!😊
100% recommendation!

Mi experiencia en los 12 días de trekking hacia el Campamento Base del Everest fue increíble.
Con la ayuda Anjan pude conocer los mejores rincones y la historia que esconde la cordillera del Himalaya. Tiene muchos conocimientos sobre geografía y supervivencia así que siempre me sentí segura y acogida.
Se adaptó siempre a todas mis necesidades y manteniendo siempre la sonrisa.
