Everest Base Camp Leisurely Trek

16 days

Trip Snapshot

The Trek (5340m/17521ft) will be a memory that you will cherish for a lifetime. There can be no trek as rewarding as one to the Everest viewpoint, Kala Patthar (5545m/18193ft) since the world’s highest peak is barely 10km/6 miles from there. The trek in itself is not particularly strenuous as this leisurely trek is designed keeping in mind the slow pace of the first time trekkers. The trek is usually two weeks trek that starts and ends at Lukla Airport (30 minutes flight from Kathmandu International Airport). There is more to the Everest trek than just Everest. While on this exciting trip, we will pass through several tiny Sherpa villages and through remote valleys, monasteries, roaring rivers, frozen pools of meltwater, glaciers, and astonishing views of dazzling peaks all on the way before we finally date with Everest. Trek itinerary is designed best for those who have not any previous experience in high altitudes over 3400m/11220ft and are not habitual for walking 9-10 hours in a day which allows us a slow and steady walk with the required amount of high altitudes acclimatizing. Also, the itinerary goes through the nice mountain valley and Sherpa settlement. Please research and get consultation through our expert before signing up for the trip which will fit you.
