Everest Base Camp Trek is arguably the most adventurous experience one can ever
indulge in. For an adventurous and enthusiastic heart, nothing can beat the feel of being
in the lap of Mighty Everest and finding yourself amidst the beautiful snowy mountains
bathed in serenity. This alluring journey takes you to an out of the world experience
laden with blissful perks that takes a lifetime to appreciate.
Everest Base Camp Trek can be one of the most inspiring walks anyone can ever take
in their lives. Trekking through Namche Bazaar gives an insight about the livelihood of
people living in the mountains, a path crossing Tengboche Monastry makes sure you
get to know about the Buddhist religion, cultures and the traditions that people are
keeping alive in the mountains. This trek takes you through the beautiful forests of
rhododendron which definitely adds color to your journey.
Leading though the Sherpa villages, the trek provides you an enlightening experience of
knowing more about legendary Sherpas, ethnic mountain people of Nepal known
worldwide for their exceptional mountaineering skills, and their stories of bravery while
sipping tea along with them. Being friends with yaks, walking beside the flow of rivers,
sometimes being at the top of a hill and looking down on the path you just
accomplished, Everest Base Camp Trekking manages to give all these pleasures
compacted in one journey. Being able to see the tallest mountain of the whole world is a
whole another story, but the small pleasures that come along your way in the trek such
as watching great glaciers, looking at the breathtaking panoramic view of snow clad
mountains all the way to Everest, you cant get enough of it.
Everest Base Camp stands at the elevation of 5300m, which is in the lap of mighty Mt.
Everest rising above the world at the height of 8848m. To reach this destination, we can
either take a flight to Lukla, which is also another exciting and dangerously adventurous
way as this remote airstrip can be very unreliable due to its geographical positioning, or
we can trek for a week to reach there. Eventually, our trek routes us through Namche
Bazaar, Syangboche, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, Gorek Shep and finally,
Everest Base Camp. Lastly, to see Mt. Everest posing its extreme beauty, we take time
to climb another mountain, Kalapatthar which stands tall at the height of 5545m.
The top of Kalapatthar provides a blissful time for us to dip into the raw beauty of Mt.
Everest which has brought the world down to its knees. Embracing the greatness of
Everest and internalizing its sensational beauty from Kalapatthar is sure to make your
trek back to Lukla, a heartwrenching experience. Inevitably, we leave our heart back in
Everest Base Camp and take a mind full of memory back to Lukla and then Kathmandu.
