Everest Base Camp

17 Nights & 18 Days

Overview

Many years ago, one would not be able to even imagine scaling the Mt. Everest and spending some time at the peak with only clouds for company.

We leave the peak to serious expeditioners, but do cover the Everest Base Camp, which itself is a thrilling trek for amateur level trekkers. From permissions to camping facilities and booking the right guides for you, we can plan this as an end to end expedittion.
