Everest Base Camp Escorted Trekking Holiday with Sherpa Expeditions.  To stand beneath the towering rock and ice of the highest peak is both a challenge and a fantastic experience. The wind-swept tops of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse form a skyline like no other; the landscape is hard, barren and inhospitable but also mesmerising and incredibly beautiful.

This trek follows much of the trail taken by the now famous early mountaineering expeditions, walking up the valley of the Dudh Kosi, then heading up to Namche, on to Pangboche and finally to the amazing Khumbu Glacier and Everest Base Camp. After two days in Kathmandu experience the breathtaking views on the flight to Lukla before starting the trek.

During the first few days pass Namche Bazaar, Thame and arguably the most spectacular viewpoint in the world at Thyangboche Monastery. Day stages are planned with a couple of 2-night stops allowing excursions to higher ground to aid acclimatisation. The climax of the trek is to ascend to Base Camp or take the alternative option and ascend Kala Pattar for the best views of Everest, the Khumbu Glacier and surrounding peaks.
