Everest Base Camp trek is the lifetime adventure trip in Nepal. It begins with an "exciting" flight to Lukla at 2800m and passes through the picturesque Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar to Gorakshep culminating in the "ascent" of Kala Pattar (5500m) from where you canenjoy classic views of Everest and Ama Dablam, Lhotse and many other peaks. Most of the trek is spent above 3000m in the Khumbu and Imja valleys, whose skylines are dominated by the massive peaks of the Eastern Himalayas. This is a moderate trek & there will be plenty of time to enjoy the culture of the Sherpas, visit ancient monasteries and learn how Lamaistic Buddhism influences Sherpa life. Stop at any of the numerous teahouses, sip a glass of sweetened tea or Chang (millet beer) and get a taste of the uniquehospitality uniqueof the Sherpas.
