Everest base camp trekking route description
The trek to Everest Base Camp begins from Lukla Airfield. It is an incredible journey that takes you through Sherpa villages. The experience brims with excitement and adventure.
The trip will lead us through rhododendron forests and across several high-suspension bridges. These scenic elements await us during our extended trekking period.
As you ascend the mountain slope, the tropical vegetation gradually gives way. Alpine meadows, adorned with yaks, replace the lush greenery.
As you ascend further up, the meadows will eventually give way to lifeless stone plains.
At the end of our journey lies the base camp of the brave mountaineers nestled among the Khumbu glacier at 5364 m.
This desolate area is populated by colorful tents, surrounded by snow-covered rocky peaks that lead to Mt. Everest.
