Overview

We see breathtaking mountain views, get a look into the lives of world-famous mountain climbers (the Sherpas), visit Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit high-altitude Buddhist temples on our Everest Base Camp 16 Days Trek. Tengboche monastery, among others, holds sacred significance for Buddhists. A night or two in Namche Bazaar is recommended for proper acclimatization and a pleasant climbing experience. 

Trekking to Nepal's Everest Base Camp also gives us the opportunity to join Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay on a historic trip that began in 1953. On an adventurous trek package that also involves ascending Kala Patthar to admire the views, our Sherpa will lead us to the base camp of the world's tallest mountain, Everest.

The Everest Base Camp 16 Days trek itinerary is intended for novice trekkers in excellent health and with average physical fitness. We are sufficiently acclimatized to fully enjoy our walk to Everest base camp due to the ample distance covered between daily itineraries, consistent gain of altitude, and distinct rest days. Altitude sickness can be avoided by walking at high altitude routes with good acclimatization and a steady pace.
