Everest, the top of the World. Reaching the top of the world is the dream of every person. Everest Base Camp Treks takes you up to the base camp of Mount Everest. The highest point of the trek Kalapathar is the best viewpoint of hundreds of Himalayan peaks including Everest. 15 days trek to Everest passes many typical Sherpa villages, dense forests, rivers, monasteries, and of course mountain views. Treks to Everest provides many optional itineraries but the first choice of people is to make Everest Base Camp Treks.

This trek reaches immediately high altitude land. Your first day reaching Lukla (2860) meters and sleeping at 2610 meters is higher than staying in Kathmandu valley. Good acclimatization in Namche Bazar (3440m) and easy hiking around makes your body fit at high altitude. You also can have one more acclimatization day in Dingboche in case of any doubt. This day can be adjusted with the last spare day of Kathmandu of our 15 days itinerary. Trekking every day is about 5-6 hours which is slow walking at a high altitude. Way back from Everest Base Camp is faster. This trek can be run throughout the year but there is the special season of sunny days with clear Himalayan views without rain in the mountain.

The best season treks to Everest are autumn and spring. The month of March to May and September to November is sunny days with clear sky. You still can make this trek in the winter season of December to February month.
