Everest Base Camp Trek
MountainVision is proud to offer you the opportunity to join our trek to Mount Everest Base Camp. This is it, the trek of a lifetime! The trek to Everest Base Camp remains, in our opinion, the greatest mountain walk on earth. The most spectacular mountain scenery in the world is before you each day of this trek. Besides Everest you will become familiar with other Himalayan giants: Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, Lobuche Peak, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Pumori. You will have a unique opportunity to absorb the ancient and colorful scenes of a Himalayan trading culture. The Everest region, known as the Khumbu, is a crossroads of times and cultures; Tibetan traders cross the Nangpa La with their yaks, climbers from around the world trek enroute to their base camps and the people of the valley still stock their homes and businesses from the famous Namche Saturday market. In the Khumbu the human history of exploration and discovery is still fresh. You will be guided by one of the most well respected Sherpa Sirdars in the world, Kami Tenzing Sherpa. Kami has been our lead Sherpa on every ascent we have made in the Himalaya, including our successful ascent of Everest in 2001. Kami will accompany you to visit several monasteries, with the same head lamas who have blessed the most historic expeditions of the past 55 years and are more active and vibrant than ever. We will visit several of them and receive our own blessings. This is truly a pilgrimage that any lover of the mountain world and mountain cultures will consider the opportunity of a lifetime. Beginning from our home base in Kathmandu, the five-star luxury of the famous Marshangdi Hotel, we will immerse ourselves into the history, art and religion of one of the most fascinating cultures in the world. A flight to the airstrip at Lukla, elevation 9,200 feet (2805 meters), is the beginning of your trip to the high world of Everest mountaineering. Your high point will be the summit of Kala Patar (18,300 feet, 5580 meters) with its stunning views of Everest. When you walk into Everest Base Camp itself, you will be at the base of the awesome Khumbu Icefall. Our Khumbu treks are first rate from start to finish. In addition to being equipped with Mountain Hardwear expedition quality tents and an expert Sherpa cook and guide staff, we stay in the comfort of private rooms in the nicest of the lodges along the way. We take the time to visit villages such as Thame and Pangboche and we schedule plenty of rest days to aid in acclimatization and to provide the opportunities to explore and spend more time with our Sherpa friends.
