14
days Everest Base Camp Trek
The Everest or Khumbu region is
justifiably the most famous of all
trekking and mountain regions. Populated
by Sherpas, the attractions of this area
are the majestic mountains, the high
mountain villages, the isolated
monasteries, and the local peoples. This
area includes the highest mountain in
the world, Everest at 8,848m, and many
of the world's 8,000m peaks such as
Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and Makalu. First
climbed in 1953, Everest still holds a
fascination for many, however the
Everest region boasts many more
spectacular and beautiful mountains, as
well as some of the most rewarding
trekking anywhere in the world.
The Everest Base Camp trek is a classic
trek which follows in the footsteps of
Hillary & Tenzing and ends with an
ascent of Kala Pattar for superb views
of Everest.
This trek starts with an exhilarating 45
minute mountain flight into the airstrip
at Lukla. From here we trek slowly
upwards to the Sherpa capital of Namche
Bazaar, following the valley of the Dudh
Kosi river. It is not long before we
glimpse our first view of Everest as it
peeks above the Lhotse-Nuptse ridge. At
this point it is still many days walk
away, but with careful acclimatization
it is not long before we find ourselves
high up in the heart of the Khumbu
region.
We visit Tengbuche monastery en route
before continuing on to our goal, an
ascent of Kala Pattar, a rocky outcrop
to the west of Everest. This vantage
point gives fantastic views of the Ice
Fall and South Col as well as the
immense south-west face of Everest which
was first climbed in 1975 by Chris
Bonington's team. This is truly a
classic trek, which undoubtedly gives
one of the best mountain views in the
world. Accommodation and food is
provided in the local lodges
