Overview

Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek is an adventure of a lifetime; it’s more than just a trek, it is the journey above the clouds. The EBC lies in the core of Khumbu Valley. Khumbu Valley itself is a great tourist destination for tourists around the globe. EBC is the stunning terminus for those who wish to see the spectacular view of the entire Mount Everest just so near to them. Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world with an elevation of 8,848m. Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest, and it is also called Sagarmatha popularly in Nepal. It was Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay who first reached the summit in 1953. They had chosen the western part through the Khumbu Icefall. You will be trekking with all of these historical moments in your mind and magnificent views all over you. Just remember one thing, it’s a dream come true for a trekker, EBC trek is a perfect voyage for a lifetime.

Gokyo Lakes are a group of high-altitude freshwater lakes located in the Sagarmatha National Park of Nepal, at the foot of Mt. Cho Oyu. The largest of the lakes, Gokyo Cho, is considered sacred by the local people and is used for religious ceremonies. One of the highlights of the trek is reaching GokyoRi, a peak near the Gokyo Lakes, which offers an incredible panoramic view of Mount Everest, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Makalu, and other peaks.

The EBC and Gokyo Lakes trek is a popular trekking route in Nepal that takes visitors through the beautiful landscapes and traditional Sherpa villages of the region, with stunning views of Mount Everest and other Himalayan peaks. The trail begins from Lukla (2,828m), Lukla is a busy town located in the Khumbu region. Khumbu region is the homeland of the mighty Sherpa and the mysterious Yeti. Peaks like Everest (8848.86m), AmaDablam (6,812m), Lhotse (8516m), Pumori (7,161m), Nuptse (7,855m), and other high peaks are standing tall to welcome you to this region. This is by far the best place in the world for those who adore nature and breathtaking gifts from nature. The EBC trek follows the trail along with the DudhKoshi River elevating along with the forest of Rhododendron. On the way, you can likely see several endangered species like Blue Sheep and Musk Deer. This region is home to snow leopards, but most of the time they are not nearby. Different species of birds like Himalayan Pheasant, Danphe, and Munal will be seen during this journey. Continuing the journey, we will reach Namche Bazaar. Namche Bazaar (3500m) is the stop point for trips to Everest and other peaks in this zone. This small town is above the altitude sickness threshold therefore most trekkers prefer to spend at least two nights acclimatizing. Along the way, trekkers also cross the Cho La Pass, which offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. After reaching the EBC, we then climb Kalapatthar, to explore the panoramic views of Mt. Everest and Other Himalayas. It’s the best feeling to feel Mount Everest right in front of your eyes, the sensation is simply magnificent.
