Everest Base Camp Trek

The classical Everest Base Camp Treks directs the trekkers by the Khumbu Valley, permitting the trekkers to witness the great beauty of the surrounding Sagarmatha National Park at the same time offering stunning views of 4 of the 6 tallest peaks in the planet Mt. Everest (8,848m), Mt. Lhotse (8,516m), Mt. Makalu (8,470m), and Cho Oyu (8,516m).The outstanding trek reiterates the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay, and the many other early pioneers of Mt. Everest as the trekkers trek from Lukla to the Base Camp.

While on the trek the trekkers will have an opportunity to ascend Kala Patthar, reaching an elevation of 5,500m, and experience awe-motivating landscapes of Mount Everest.The trekkers also have an opportunity to visit the different Buddhist monasteries dotted together with the route and learn about a culture steeped in history and tradition, inseparably connected to the very peaks on which the trekkers have memorable landscapes.

The best time to go to the Everest Base Camp trek is not at the time of the height of summer. The spring months of February with May are broadly regarded as the peak season or best time to trek to Everest base camp. This is also the time when the region is most active. The climate in these months is favorable and dry – excellent for trekking and for viewing landscapes. The lower highlands and foothills are most vivid at this time, so the trekker can anticipate verdant fields and hillsides surrounded by rhododendrons. September and October is another famous trekking time on the other side of summer which tends to be a little less busy. Another option to keep away from the hustle and bustle of peak season is to attempt a few of the trek variations like the Gokyo Lakes hike.Trekking during the months (November-January) is still likely to be done, but trekkers must be prepared for temperatures below sub-zero. Peak summer is called the monsoon season, classified by short, sharp downpours. The routes are very wet and trekking at the time of these months is not recommended.
