Warping herself with the tallest peak and deepest gorge in the world, Nepal has become a trekker’s ultimate destination. As of early 1960, Nepal’s commercial trekking became renowned after many successful summits of Mt. Everest also known as Mt. Sagarmatha and Mt. Chomolungma. Trekking trails of Nepal’s eastern region are extremely popular for breathtaking views and remarkable adventure. Everest Base camp is in the northeast direction at about ~150 miles away from the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu. It is located at the center of the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal. Trekking trails of Everest base camp are the veins that connect you to the heart of the Himalayas and the peak of the world Mt. Everest. It is a wonderland for most of the trekkers which comes with everlasting glory.

The Khumbu valley has been the homeland of Sherpa. This trek is not just a trek; it is the journey above the clouds. Explore the tough trekking trails around the world’s tallest mountain for a jaw-dropping visit and a once-in-a-lifetime culture experience. Sherpa’s culture of hospitality has always been beloved among the tourist visiting Everest base camp. This is where you find yourself like a bird flapping your wing above the cloud. “The step to paradise” marked in every bend in the trail will awake you and the beauty of Mt. Everest will not let you blink your eyes. This Trek offers you to take a picture of beautiful forests, glacier moraines, mountains, and slopes.

Along with a panoramic view of Mt. Everest (8,848.68m/29,029 ft), the world’s highest peak. You can also take in the stunning views of peaks like Mt. Lhotse (8,516 m), Cho Oyu (8,201 m), and Mt.

This trek also provides a breathtaking view of the world’s highest glacier, the Khumbu glacier (4,900 m).

Lukla (2,828m) is the starting point for the trek. Lukla is a major town in the Khumbu region. The road continues from Namche bazaar to the valley below Everest through the Imja Khola River.
