The Ultimate Everest Trek

The Ultimate Everest Trek Overview

A challenging trekking holiday in Nepal with the best Everest views and all meals included

Nepal's Khumbu region boasts some of the most extraordinary high mountain scenery on earth and its popularity as a trekking destination is easy to understand. Hiking up to Everest Basecamp and having the chance to meet the famously friendly Sherpa people is high on the wish list of many adventure travellers. After flying in to Lukla, this exciting trek to Everest Basecamp takes us via the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar and then up to the sacred lakes in the stunning Gokyo Valley. Here, we climb Gokyo Ri which is one of the finest vantage points for Mount Everest (8848m). Continuing our journey to basecamp, we cross into the Khumbu Valley by way of the high and challenging Cho La (5420m). Then, from Lobuche, we trek up to Everest Basecamp and drop back to spend just a single night at the highest lodges in the Khumbu, at Gorak Shep (5140m). From here, we can ascend to the 'trekkers summit' of Kala Patar (5600m) for more superb views of Everest and of the astonishing Khumbu Icefall, before trekking out by way of the famous and recently restored monastery at Thyangboche. Staying in comfortable Sherpa lodges throughout, this circuit of the Everest National Park provides a comprehensive taste of the Khumbu that is hard to beat within a 3-week adventure holiday.
