To see **Mount Everest (8,848m)** is an experience you will never forget. However, the trek to get to the mighty mountain’s base camp will provide you with so much more than just the views of the world’s highest peak.

Everest Base Camp, Nepal, 17 Day Guided Trek

**Mount Everest, the gem of the Himalayas, doesn’t need much introduction. It is a true legend that excites mountaineers, and in this occasion I propose you a trek to Everest Base Camp in 19 days.** 

We will be in the Khumbu Region that, besides the Everest, also hosts the famous Nuptse and Ama Dablam peaks. It is not necessary to embark for an ascent to the summit of a peak to enjoy an adventure here. In fact, this trek to the base camp will allow you to explore the picturesque villages and sacred valleys. Besides, you will be surrounded by the unforgettable panoramas of the Himalaya. It will be an inspiring trip where you will learn a lot from the unique local culture.

Each day will be magical in its own way. We will find ourselves trekking with the most amazing views, in the heart of sacred regions. In addition, we will have our share of ascents! We will climb Kala Patthar (5577m), which is an excellent first experience in the Himalaya. The views over larger peaks of the area are unforgettable!

Please see the daily itinerary below for more details. I also offer an optional ascent to Lobuche East. In this case, the trip will last 4 more days. After reaching the Everest base camp, we will return to Lobuche and complete the ascent of the East summit.

For this expedition you need to be in good physical shape, and have at least basic snow and glacier traveling skills.

During the trek, we will sleep in guest houses of Sherpa villages. This will give you an insight into the traditional and monastic communities, and you will enjoy the warmth of the Sherpa people.

**Tempted to trek to Everest base camp? Then send me a request and I will make it happen!** If you are looking for other dates or a privately guided tour, I can also arrange it.

Everest Kala Pathar Trek, 15-day program

Follow me to the base camp of the world´s tallest mountain on this 16-day journey through unforgettable sights and traditional culture! I will take you on a tour of the surrounding landscapes that are home to the people and traditions that make Nepal so special.

Nepal is well-known for Mt. Everest (8,848m) and is the central attraction for adventurers from across the globe. The surrounding communities are all connected to the Himalayas, and have created their own world around these impressive mountains.

The program begins in Kathmandu, where we will spend time sightseeing and exploring before flying out to our expedition.

On our trek towards the Everest Base Camp, we pass through the Sherpa capital of the world, Namche Bazaar. It is a popular cultural hub and is designed around the commerce of trekking and climbing. The other villages along our route have an incredible view of Ama Dablam (6,812m), an immense peak that serves as an excellent precursor to Mt. Everest.

Once we reach the Everest Base Camp, we trek to the peak of Kala Patthar (5,554m). This is arguably the best vantage point of Mt. Everest, and it is certainly one of the most significant panoramas you will find in your entire life – It will leave you speechless.

Throughout the trek, you will see Nepal through the eyes of the locals and can truly expose yourself to life in the Himalayas. We will be staying in lodges as we head through the region.  You will have the opportunity to see Thyangboche and its temple, as well as the quiet farming village of Dingboche.

This is an excellent program for those just getting started in trekking, and for those who might have a limited amount of time available to travel.

This adventure will require a moderate to advanced level of fitness.

**Let me take you on this immersive Everest tour and book now for an unforgettable experience!**
