Take in some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Himalayas. Ever since the days of early climbing expeditions, the 8848m mountain has had a lure of its own, drawing climbers and trekkers to it like a magnet. Naturally, the trail to the base camp of the mountain has become one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal, yet few people return from the trek unmoved by the experience of being among the highest peaks in the world.
During the trek we follow the main Everest Base Camp Trail, the route pioneered and still used by many climbing expeditions. The trail is well maintained and apart from the walk up Kala Pattar and the final stretch to base camp, it is not particularly demanding.
What makes it hard going is the altitude, which may affect your performance, though rest days are built into the trek to help you acclimatise. Most trekking days allow ample time to cover the distance at a leisurely pace. To enjoy the trek fully you need to be reasonably fit previous trekking experience would be an asset, but is not essential.
