Everest Base Camp Trek and Kalapatthar Ascent


Lukla Airport
This trek is one of the lifetime adventures trips that begins with an “eye opening” flight to Lukla at 2800m and passes through the picturesque Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar to Gorakshep culminating in the “ascent” of Kala Pattar (5500 m) from where we can enjoy a spectacular views of the mesmerizing peaks of Mt. Everest, Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt Pumori, Mt. Thamserku, Mt Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse and many other snow-clad peaks. The Everest region has gained its popularity for trekking, mountaineering, peak climbing and expedition. Among the major destinations of trekking in Nepal, Everest region stood second despite poor accessibility. It is more expensive and difficult to get Solu Khumbu than to the Annapurna region. One must either walk for a week or fly to Lukla to get near Everest. The number of trekkers to Everest has increased dramatically because of the publicity the mountain has received from several sources. Khumbu is famous not only for its proximity to the world’s highest mountain, Mt. Everest (8848m), but also for its Sherpa villages and age-old monasteries and local culture. The primary goal of trekking in Everest region is stepping at least the Everest Base Camp (5340m.) or Everest view point kalapattar (5545m).
