Description

Heading to the base camp of the world's highest mountain makes for a scenic, exciting and fun adventure. Opting to go on the EBC luxury trek from Kathmandu makes it unforgettable!

Over the course of 15 days, we will make our way from Kathmandu to Lukla and on to the iconic Mount Everest Base Camp, all the way to 5,364 meters above sea level!

As we go, we will have the chance to visit various traditional Sherpa villages, including Namche Bazaar, the unofficial Sherpa capital. From this stunning spot of culture and commerce, we will get our first impressive views out over Mount Everest.

After Namche Bazaar, we continue steadily gaining altitude on our approach to the base camp. Each day, the mountain draws nearer and the scenery becomes more forbidding but intensely beautiful.

On the eve of our ascent to base camp, we will pass over a stunning ridge, which affords us views of Mt.Tawache, Ama Dablam, Pokalde (5741m), Kongma-tse (5820m) and the great wall of Nuptse.

The highlight of the trip is reaching the base camp and feeling the indescribable sensation of being in the shadow of the world's highest peak. After descending from the mountain, we go for an encore.

The following morning, we will summit Kala Patthar (5545m) and watch a truly sublime sunrise over Everest. We will also get incredible views out over Mt Pumori, Mt Lingtren, Mt Khumbetse, Mt Nuptse, Mt Lhotse, Mt Ama Dablam, Mt Thamserku and many more.

On the way down, the adventure will continue as we visit the world's premier high altitude museum and continue enjoying phenomenal views of the Himalayas.

By the time we arrive back in Kathmandu and have our farewell dinner, you will already be yearning to return to this sublime part of the world.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
