The Everest Base Camp trek is a 14-day walk through Nepal’s Khumbu region. It starts with a flight to Lukla, then climbs through Sherpa villages such as Namche Bazaar and Tengboche to base camp at 5,364 m. Tea houses along the route make it one of the more approachable high-altitude treks in the Himalaya.

Everest itself is hidden from base camp, and the best view comes from Kala Patthar (5,545 m), a sunrise climb above Gorak Shep. The trek takes good fitness, slow acclimatization days at Namche and Dingboche, and ideally a guide. Spring and autumn are the best seasons, with clearer skies and more stable weather.
