Unique Everest Base Camp Trekking Itineraries
Sleeping at Everest Base Camp – Our most popular trek to Mount Everest includes sleeping at Everest Base Camp. This itinerary is slightly longer but worth the effort to hike up Kala Patthar for sunset. After experiencing the sun setting on Mount Everest, the following day you will hike into Everest Base Camp and sleeping at the base of the World’s Highest Mountain. You can even get married there!
Traditional Everest Trek – One of our most popular Everest trekking itineraries follows the original trail to Mount Everest. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa climbed Mount Everest in 1953 and they used this route to reach Everest Base Camp (EBC). Back then Everest Base Camp was in GoraK Shep. The Everest Base Camp we know was Camp 1. Our EBC trekkers are literally “following in the footsteps” of the greats: Hillary and Tenzing and all the 400 team members that helped them reach the summit of Mount Everest.
