Description: The Everest region is understandably one of the world's most popular and spectacular hiking destinations, as it offers fascinating and enjoyable trekking. This trip begins with a scenic flight to Lukla. The trek starts from here, passing many farm villages en route with beautiful views of the world's highest snow capped peaks. The highest point of our trip is at Kala Pattar, where we get an outstanding panoramic view of peaks and its glaciers, including Mount Everest.

Our Everest Base Camp itinerary is both a scenic and cultural adventure in the famous Khumbu region. We include all the highlights of the Everest National Park including Namche Bazaar (the Khumbu's Sherpa capital) the unmatched view point of Kala Patthar (18,188ft) and a visit to the ever-exciting Everest Base Camp. With extraordinary views of Nuptse, Everest and Lhotse and with ample time to acclimatize and visit the Buddhist monasteries of Pangboche, one of the oldest in the area and Thyangboche, this really is a classic trekking adventure.

From your participation in this trek US$500 per person is donated to an Orphanage, a non-profit organization, whose mission statement is to provide orphaned and underprivileged children living in Nepal with basic human rights, health services, education, accommodation and love. The orphanage cares for Nepalese remote village children whose parents have either passed away, disappeared or are too poor to feed and educate them. We are working closely with the Orphanage in Kathmandu.
