Everest Base Camp

Trek Details

7- 28 Days Trek
Everest / Khumbu Region

Grade - Moderate-Strenuous

Everest is a an inspiration to most trekkers and climbers, the holy grail to all outdoor enthusiasts. It stands as an unmoveable great wall between Nepal and Tibet.

The region offers a variety of trekking and exploration, which can be adjusted to meet the time scale of the individuals. Destinations for trekking in the Khumbu region are Kalapattar, Gokyo and Everest Basecamp.

Everest Base Camp trekking is a challenging and rugged adventure, with plenty of time for sensible acclimatisation, following the classic route to the Base Camp and Kala Patar on the highest mountain in the world.

Starting from Lukla, this Everest trek takes us through the homeland of the Sherpas, where we enjoy their friendly hospitality and experience arguably the most dramatic mountain views in Asia. While on the trek you will also have the chance to get an insight into Nepalese culture and stay in traditional teahouses.

My Views on the guide

I had the pleasure of Hari's company on a 21 day trek to Everest base camp/Kala Patter in sept/oct. 1998. Having set off travelling doing a mini
world tour by myself I decided to start my trip in Nepal-the best decision I ever made. Anyone who I meet whose thinking about going to Nepal I say to them definitely go there it's a brilliant trip.
An American girl,Teri, and I met Hari through a trekking agency in Kathmandu and he agreed to be our guide for the next 21 days. From the very beginning Hari was very helpful and flexible right throughout the trip -stopping when we wanted to stop, getting us tea (che) when we wanted (and sometimes something stronger when he felt we needed a boost).
He was always conscious of when we were getting tired and was always aware not to overdo things. He was also very good at sourcing clean drinking water when we needed it. His local knowledge along the way was great always relating stories about this fellow or that fellow which we may have met
along the way and telling us of local traditions and customs. He could point out people who had climbed Everest and this just left us fascinated.
When the trek ended he even extended his hospitality so much that he took us back to his sister's house for a meal.

Above all, throughout the trek he was great 'craic' as we say in Ireland. I could not speak highly enough about him as a guide.
