Descriptions

Mount Everest Base Camp Trek is recognized as one of the most prominent treks with its stunning mountain peaks and mesmerizing beauty of the hills. There are two base camps on Mt. Everest, which can be differentiated by the two sides of the peak. The north side is at 5150 m altitude in Tibet, China, and the south side is at 5,364 m altitude in Nepal. The south base was the most famous of the two, as trekking enthusiasts prioritized it for an amazing experience. Shikhar Travels makes sure that trekking at Everest Base Camp will be the world’s best adventure for you!

Trekkers feel fascinated by the snow-capped mountains and the lush greenery and come from all over the world to turn to the Everest Base Camp trek. This gives them the best experience through picturesque villages, green paths, sheer rocks, and more. It lasts for about two weeks, starting from Kathmandu to Lukla and from Lukla to Everest base camp. The trek will be of moderate difficulty.

DAY 03: MONZO (2804M) - NAMCHE (3445M). (4-5KM APPROX)
Your trekking expedition commences on the fourth day of the trip. The trekking allows us to commence the ascent to Namche Bazaar. Once you reach halfway up the hills, a gap in the woods offers an opportunity to catch a glimpse of Everest for the first time. If you are lucky, then you can see the south-west side of Everest, as it completely depends on the weather.

Namche happens to be the largest and most renowned town in Khumbu, where you can enjoy shopping out your heart’s contents every Saturday. Handwoven Tibetan boots, tennis shoes, meat, vegetables, grains, and trinkets are some of the hugely sold wares in this market. The Sherpas act host to the traders coming from the foothills and also to the Tibetans from over the border.
Meals: Breakfast Lunch and Dinner

DAY 04: NAMCHE- ACCLIMATIZATION DAY
Adjusting your body to this hugely elevated place is very compulsory, as it becomes very difficult for one to adjust his body as per the rarefied atmosphere before ascending to the higher altitudes. Follow the technique of ‘climb high and sleep low’ as this will help you throughout the expedition. You can either opt for relaxing during your stay for the entire day or hike up to the Everest View Hotel and Khumjung Village.

You will get an opportunity to take part in the seminars organized by the Himalayan Rescue Association, in which several western doctors take part. The other exciting option is to trek up the Imja Tse Valley towards Island Peak. Capture the panoramic views of Ama Dablam and Lhotse before you start trekking down the hill.
