About this trip
This is the classic trek through the Khumbu, on foot to the base of the world's highest mountain. You fly into Lukla, then walk up through the valley over about two weeks, gaining altitude gradually alongside the rivers and glaciers.
The route runs through Sherpa villages and farmland, past monasteries and mountain bazaars, inside Sagarmatha National Park. It's as much about the culture and daily rhythm of the Khumbu as it is about the mountain itself.
You'll walk in a group, sleeping in teahouses along the way, with the goal of reaching Everest Base Camp and climbing to Kalapatthar for the closest possible view of Everest.
What you'll do
- Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, with early views of the Everest region from the air
- Walk through Sherpa villages, farmland and monasteries in the Khumbu valley
- Visit Tengboche monastery, the largest in the region

- Reach Everest Base Camp at the foot of the mountain

- A multi-day high-altitude trek — expect long walking days and gradual acclimatisation
- Best done in spring (Feb–May) or autumn (Sep–Nov); summer is wet and winter very cold
