Everest Base Camp Trekking

Mount Everest, named after Sir George Everest, the British Surveyor General of India when the mountain was first identified as “Point XV” on the border between Nepal and Tibet. To the Sherpas and Tibetans, she is known as “Chomolungma” – Mother Goddess of the Earth, while the Nepalese call her “Sagarmatha.” There is no dispute about one thing: it is the highest mountain in the world.

Each year, climbers from all over the globe gather at the Nepalese Base Camp, just beneath the infamous Ice Fall, to plot their route up the mountain and dare to dream. Our trek to the peak known as “Kala Pattar,” situated beside Base Camp, follows in the footsteps of these mountaineers up the Khumbu Valley, home to the renowned Sherpas. Traditionally traders, the Sherpas have been associated with Everest since the first attempts on the mountain’s North (Tibetan) side in the 1920s. Today, few expeditions attempt the summit without a team of Sherpas in support – often leading the way.

Join us on this 15-day, Grade 4 (strenuous) trek, the most famous trek in the world.
