Everest Base Camp Trek - 14 days

The Everest base camp trek is probably the most famous trek in the world -and deservedly so. It's has taken millions of years and unimaginable powerful force to create this mountain range; the Himalaya is literally what happens when continents collide. It's even so vast that it has changed our global climate system - and nowhere is it more spectacular than in the Everest Region.

The Everest base camp trek goes right into the heart of Himalaya, taking you into the famous trading town of Namche, world's highest Buddhist monastery and Everest base camp itself, where Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgey set off on their epic journey to the summit of Mt. Everest in 1953. Best of all you get to see the Everest itself, to see the earth's greatest accomplishment and witness its power and grace first-hand.
