Description

Trekking to the mythical Everest Base Camp (EBC) in Nepal is a once-in-a lifetime adventure and a must for every mountain lover. I invite you to join me on this 18-day trip and discover the unique Sherpa culture and the most spectacular Himalayan scenery in the Khumbu region.

This amazing trek will take us through a fascinating landscape of majestic snow-capped peaks, via the beautiful lakes of the Goyko valley and the Cho La Pass, passing by sherpa villages and ancient buddhist monasteries.

The Everest Base Camp (5364m) is the gateway for mountaineers from all over the world to climb Mount Everest (8848m), the highest mountain in the world. I propose a programme with group departure from Madrid, flying together to the vibrant and caothic Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal.

From Kathmandu, we will fly to Lukhla (2850m). From there, we will begin our trek into the spectacular high valley of Khumbu, passing by the colourful village of Namche Bazaar. During the trek we will be staying at traditional tea houses.

As we follow the path we will get spectacular views of mythical mountains, like Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam, from famous viewpoints like Goyko Ri and Kala Patthar. On our way back we will also pass by the famous Tingboche Monastery. You can check the day-by-day itinerary below.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp is definitely a lifetime experience you shouldn’t miss. Send me a request and join me on this unique journey in the majestic Nepalese Himalayas.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
