Everest base camp

Reach the highest point on earth or choose to live out your dream by standing at the foot of Mt. Everest (8,848 m). Since 1953, many more have summited the mountain, but far more trek the route to Everest Base Camp simply for a glimpse of the peak far above. The Everest region in Nepal is more than just climbing and trekking, it is a life changing experience and some see it as a journey close to achieving Nirvana. Located in the north eastern province of Nepal, this region is in a world of its own with vast glaciers, icefalls, the highest mountains, deep valleys, precarious settlements, and hardy people challenging the harshest conditions thrown at them by nature in the thin air of high altitude. The main hiking seasons are in the spring and fall, from March to May and September to December.
