So, what makes this package different from other Everest Base Camp hiking packages?
Like any other Everest Base Camp Trekking packages, this 12 days Everest Base Camp Trek package is also crafted to take you to the base camp of the world’s highest mountain, the mighty Mt. Everest.
En route to the base camp, from different viewpoints, every trekker can treat their eyes to the magnetic vista of the most celebrated towering peaks including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Nuptse, Pumori, Ama Dablam, Lobuche, Taboche, Cholatse, Thamserku, Island Peak, Baruntse and more. While the majestic grandeur of these peaks makes the center piece of this trek, the route equally offers an amalgamation of natural beauty, cultural abundance and a fair share of challenge to provide trekkers incomparable sense of accomplishment. Many describe this trek also as a voyage of self-discovery.

Early in the morning, we will be escorted to the domestic terminal of Kathmandu airport to board our flight to Lukla (2,800m). It will approximately take 30-35 min to reach Tenzing-Hillary Airport at Lukla - a gateway destination. If the day is clear, you can enjoy the view of the terrain.

Shortly after this, a walk towards Bhaisekharka begins through the stone paved trails where you make your way through plenty of prayer rocks while still enjoying the flourishing village of Lukla. Here you can capture some of the most beautiful rural scenes on the entire trek. This first and short hike is specifically designed for the purpose of acclimatization.
