The trek to Everest Base Camp is challenging and you MUST train for several months before departure to make your trip as enjoyable as possible. Training should include regular walking on hills, in combination with swimming, light running or biking and gym work to develop strength. We recommend the Everest Base Camp Training plan from Uphill Athlete.
The Everest region is stunningly beautiful and a trek to Everest Base Camp is well worth the effort at least once in this lifetime!
Throughout this journey we utilise superior lodging in the lower villages and at higher elevations you will stay in luxurious tent camps that are supported by our attentive catering staff with fine meals of fresh local and imported foods.
The journey starts with your arrival into Kathmandu where we show you our pick of the highlights of this ancient and fascinating city. You have options to stay in first-class hotels for your initial nights here then we fly by B3 helicopter into the Khumbu valley to begin the trek that has the world’s most dramatic skylines!
Our knowledgeable and personable expedition guide will show you the hidden secrets of the Everest region and lead the local crew to make this a truly memorable experience of a lifetime. While the trek to Everest Base Camp is a physical undertaking that takes some effort, this option enables you to experience this fantastic journey in comparative luxury.
