Overview

The Everest Base Camp trek is the pilgrimage every mountain lover dreams of — a 14-day journey through the heart of the Khumbu Valley to the foot of the world’s highest peak at 5,364 meters.

From the dramatic mountain runway at Lukla, the trail winds through Sherpa villages draped in prayer flags, across suspension bridges over roaring rivers, past ancient monasteries where monks chant at dawn, and up through increasingly dramatic landscapes until the icefall of Everest looms above you.

Every step on this trek rewards you. Namche Bazaar, the bustling Sherpa capital, sits in a mountain amphitheater. Tengboche Monastery, with Everest and Ama Dablam as its backdrop, is one of the most spiritual places on earth. Gorak Shep, the last settlement before Base Camp, sits at 5,164m in a landscape of rock and ice that feels like another planet.

The sunrise from Kala Patthar (5,545m) — where you stand higher than Base Camp itself — reveals Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Changtse in a panorama so overwhelming it brings seasoned trekkers to tears.

For Indian trekkers, this is the ultimate Himalayan achievement. Our guided trek includes experienced Sherpa guides, comfortable teahouse accommodation, all meals on the trail, and proper acclimatization days that maximize your chance of reaching Base Camp safely.

No technical climbing skills are needed — just reasonable fitness, determination, and a willingness to be transformed by the mountains.
