The Everest Base Camp Trek (EBC Trek) is a well-known adventure in the beautiful Sagarmatha zone, which takes travelers to the base of the world's tallest mountain, Mount Everest. The trek begins in the Solukhumbu District in northeastern Nepal and enables you to witness the harsh beauty and famous history of the Everest zone.
This legendary trail follows the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, the first two climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953. Since that time, thousands of trekkers from every corner of the world have been attracted by the magnetic appeal of Everest and its neighboring giants over 8,000 meters in height.
The Base Camp stands at an altitude of 5,364 meters. It is a starting point for mountaineers and a very popular destination for trekkers. The trek provides spectacular views of the Himalayan mountains, dense forests, icy scenery, and distinctive fauna in Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Aside from nature, the hike offers culture as you meet the Sherpa people, are met with their warm hospitality, and observe their resilience. Popular landmarks like the Khumbu Glacier, Tengboche Monastery, Hillary Suspension Bridge, and the busy Namche Bazaar add to the adventure.
