 Everest
Base Camp trek begins with an "eye opening" flight to Lukla at
2800 meters and passes through the picturesque Sherpa village of
Namche Bazaar to Gorakshep culminating in the "ascent" of Kala
Pattar (5500 m) from where classic views of Everest and its
surrounding peaks are available. Most of the trek is spent above
altitudes of 3000 meters in the Khumbu and Imja valleys, whose
skylines are dominated by the massive peaks of the Eastern
Himalayas.
This is a moderate trek & there will be plenty of time to enjoy
the culture of the Sherpas, visit ancient monasteries and learn
how Lamaistic Buddhism influences Sherpa life. Stop at any of
the numerous teahouses, sip a glass of sweetened tea or Chang
(millet beer) and get a taste of hospitality unique to the
Sherpas.
Beautiful, multi-hued prayer flags prayer wheels and intricately
carved Mani stones line every hilltop, rock wall and trailside
singing prayers to the gods with every breeze and every passing
traveler… Trip
