When you think of traveling in the Himalayas of Nepal, do you think of the Everest Base Camp Trek? The mighty Mount Everest has been a household name since 1953 when Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first made history by reaching the mountain’s 8,848-meter summit. But you don’t have to be a mountaineer to enjoy all that Everest has to offer.
Our seven-day trekking package is the perfect combination of challenge and reward, with steep staircases leading to splendid views of fertile valleys and high-altitude passes ascending to tremendous panoramas of the Himalayas themselves.
Hiking for a week at a high elevation does demand a certain degree of physical strength and mental endurance, but with the help of your trusted guide—and your own passion and determination—you’ll soon reach Everest Base Camp for yourself.
It’s easy to see why the Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most celebrated hiking routes in all of Nepal. As you trek through the rocky ravines, rhododendron forests, and steep mountain paths of the Khumbu region, you’ll lay your eyes upon the highest mountains in the world.
And we’re not just talking about Mount Everest! Our seven-day trekking itinerary will bring you to the lookout point of Kala Patthar, where you’ll enjoy a 360-degree feast for the eyes from an altitude of 5,545 meters.
You’ll be fully surrounded by the stunning Himalayan giants known as Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, and Ama Dablam—to name just a few. And if you’re a nature lover, you’ll savor the opportunity to explore the mysterious Sagarmatha National Park on the way there, keeping your eyes peeled for rare birds and mammals.
Of course, the Everest Base Camp Trek is also famous as the home to the colorful communities of Khumbu’s Sherpa inhabitants. These friendly villagers are renowned worldwide for both their hospitality and their incredible mountaineering skills.
Alpine Ramble Treks has designed our seven-day Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary to appeal to travelers with limited time to spend in the mountains. You can rely on your expert guide to share the highlights of this historic trail from start to finish, from the dramatic landing strip at Lukla to the bustling communities of Namche Bazaar and Tengboche.
You’ll even get to enjoy a helicopter flight from Gorak Shep to Lukla, a rare privilege that’s sure to become one of your most cherished memories. All told, don’t be surprised if you fall in love with the natural beauty of the Himalayas and the friendly people who make their home in these mountains.
