The Everest base camp trek is highly regarded and is located on the northern side of Kathmandu. It is part of the Khumbu region and is one of Nepal's most classic adventure trek journeys that begins in Kathmandu, a city known for its temples. The journey starts with a short flight to Lukla, a small Sherpa town located at an elevation of 2800 meters above sea level.
From Lukla, the real trek begins towards several beautiful Sherpa villages along the Dod Kosi River, which is the major river of Khumbu in the Everest region. You will walk through majestic villages, farming lands, and across dazzling forests while witnessing waterfalls and crossing beautiful suspension bridges.
The Everest base camp, also known as EBC, is a well-known trek in Nepal that offers a variety of activities to do during the trek in the mountains, including the majestic mountains of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, Ama- Dulom, Thamserku, and many more.
The Everest base camp trek is more than just a trek. It is an opportunity to learn unique cultures of the Sherpa and Rai people, their lifestyles, and a wide range of different vegetation along the way.
