This special trek to Everest Base Camp starts with a scenic flight from Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Lukla, where trekkers will be introduced to the Sherpas and the porters. We trekked for two days before the first acclimatization against acute mountain sickness (AMS) at Namche and two more days before the second acclimatization at Dingboche. Before reaching Dingboche, we also enjoy the hilltop settlement of Tengboche and the Buddhist Monastery, guarded by the awesome views of the peaks, including Tawache, Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku. From Dingboche, we set off to conquer the base camp of Mount Everest (5,364m). Gorak Shep is the last village before the base camp. Before, we also hiked up to Kala Patthar (5,550m) to enjoy the magnificent views of Mt. Everest, which is not seen from the base camp, and other surrounding peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, and Cho Oyu. After achieving the goal, we retrace the trail used earlier to get back to Lukla and catch a flight to Kathmandu.
