Everest Trek - Classic and Instant

Everest Classic Trek

Probably the most famous mountain of the world, Mount Everest's grandiose stature continues to amaze many travelers. This ascent to the 5,300m base camp of the world's highest peak will take you to the heart of the Sherpa nation and through awe-inspiring, barren ice-capped landscapes.

Trek in the footsteps of legends as we ascend from 9,200 feet to 18,190 feet in elevation, where verdant forested valleys fall away before the icebound drama of the worlds highest mountains. Trekking at a moderate pace allows time to acclimatize and to learn about the rich Sherpa culture of the Solu Khumbu region. Explore brilliantly decorated temples and monasteries.

Traverse the lower slopes of Tawoche, a 21,463’ collection of bare rock, glaciers and towering ice spires. On Kala Patar, skirt car-sized boulders to reach its 18,190’ summit at sunset and enjoy one of the best light shows on earth! Your friendly guides provides surprisingly tasty meals while lending support and companionship. Begin and end this epic journey in exotic Kathmandu.

It takes three weeks to start the trekking from Jiri and fly back from Lukla. Walking to and from Everest Base Camp takes at least one month to complete the trekking. Many trekkers find the walk to Everest better then the destination itself.

The Everest trekking areas offer a visit to the homeland of the Sherpas, a chance to get close to the highest mountain in the world, as well as the feeling in one that of surrounded by peaks.

Instant Everest Trek

Everest trek is justifiably famous, not only for its proximity to the worlds highest mountain but also for its friendly Sherpa people, picturesque villages great variety of cultures and traditions, colourful festivals and monasteries. The flora and fauna are other ornaments of the Sagarmatha National Park. The story of the yeti is still a mystery to the world from the Khumbu region.

Mount Everest - to the Nepalese it is simply called Sagarmatha, the "sky head". To the Tibetans it is Chomolungma, the mother goddess of the earth. To the rest of the world it is the most renowned mountain of all. When it comes to spectacular breathtaking mountain panoramas, the Everest Trek is without equal.

The walk to Everest trek from Lukla takes you through lush valleys with abundant flora and fauna, past friendly Sherpa villages and Buddhist monasteries, and far above the treeline towards the earths highest mountains. Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse and Mt. Everest tower above you on this challenging but very rewarding trek.
