En route to the base camp, from different viewpoints, every trekker can treat their eyes to the magnetic vista of the most celebrated towering peaks including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Nuptse, Pumori, Ama Dablam, Lobuche, Taboche, Cholatse, Thamserku, Island Peak, Baruntse and more. While the majestic grandeur of these peaks makes the center piece of this trek, the route equally offers an amalgamation of natural beauty, cultural abundance and a fair share of challenge to provide trekkers incomparable sense of accomplishment. Many describe this trek also as a voyage of self-discovery.
Your Everest Base Camp hike begins with a stirring flight to Lukla. Following the regular Everest Base Camp trekking trail, that is, Lukla-Phakding-Namche-Deboche-Dingboche-Lobuche and Gorakshep, you will walk all the way to the base camp of Mt. Everest, after which you will retrace your steps to Lukla. Making your way through the beautiful Sherpa Villages located inside and outside the Sagarmatha National Park; visiting ancient monasteries that protect centuries old relics, scripture, culture and religious beliefs; hiking through the greenest as well as the driest part of the Everest region and along the highest glacier in the world (the Khumbu Glacier), you will conquer the altitude of 5,545 meters (Kala Patthar- the best viewpoint to see Everest in the entire Everest region) in just 8 days.
So, what makes this package different from other Everest Base Camp hiking packages?
If you choose to go with this package, your trip with Amigo Treks and Expedition will only start with a drive to Ramechhap from Kathmandu, before catching a flight to Lukla (during peak season, that is March-May and October to November) and a direct flight to Lukla from Kathmandu (during low season, that is, June-September and December-February). The transportation, both to and from Ramechhap will be on a sharing basis. The transportation to Ramechhap will leave Kathmandu at 1:00am to help you catch your same day’s flight to Lukla. This package does not include airport transfers, meals and accommodations in Kathmandu, before and after the trek, which gives you the freedom to select and book them as per your requirements and budget.
