14-day Everest Base Camp Trekking is one of the best trekking in Nepal. Leaving the arrival and departure day, we spent 12 days in the Khumbu region of Nepal. Taking trekkers up to the base camp of Mt. Everest and the altitude of 5,545m (Kala Patthar), this trek allows trekkers to explore and enjoy the natural and cultural magnificence of the Khumbu region en route to the base camp of Everest. Apart from the views of some of the major towering peaks of the world including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Cho Oyu, trekkers also get a chance to explore the attractions of the Sagarmatha National Park. These attractions in the area are beautifully backed up by the perfect culture, lifestyle, and sincere hospitality of the Sherpa people living in the region.
This hike to the Base Camp of Everest begins with a Drive to Ramechhap and 15 15-minute flight from Ramechhap to Lukla. From Lukla, we walk up to the base camp and retrace the path to Lukla to fly back to Kathmandu/Ramechhap (depending on the season). Our 14-day Everest Base Camp Trekking package includes bed and breakfast before and after the trek. Accommodation is arranged in local lodges and guest houses managed by local people that provide basic amenities, bed, breakfast, and dinner. The lunch is ordered from a tea house menu.
