Embark on a 16-day trek to the Everest Base Camp. Travel through famous Sherpa villages such as Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, gain altitude, and eventually reach the base camp made famous by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
Start by taking a Trans Himalayan flight to the mountain air strip and village of Lukla. Travel through famous Sherpa villages such as Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, slowly gain altitude, and eventually reach the base camp made famous by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
In 1953, they set off on their epic journey to reach the summit of Everest and in the process made world history. When you arrive at the camp, feel a certain nostalgia of how it must have felt being at the base of the highest mountain and setting foot into remote no man's land.
Each day starts with a cup of hot tea usually served in your room along with a bowl of hot water to wash up a little. After your luggage is packed and the porters prepare themselves for this journey, sit down to breakfast.
After breakfast, set off on the trail, enjoying the pleasant cool morning air. Your day's trek involves navigating through numerous picturesque forests, hills, mountains, and local villages before stopping around midday for lunch.
Your midday lunch break usually lasts around an hour and is a time to relax, pop the boots off, and air those feet. Plenty of time is allowed for photograph along the way. After lunch, walk another three hours or so, before you stop for the night.
Each evening is spent as per your interest whether that’s reading or chatting with other fellow trekkers. Have a deck of cards to play various Nepali card games while at the same time learning new Western ones.
The porters and Sherpa's also like to have singing and dancing competitions in which they love you to join in. Finally, it's off to bed for a well-deserved night's rest before you start it all again.
