Everest Base Camp Trek - 14 Days

Everest base camp trek is a high-altitude, adventurous trekking in Nepal. The Everest journey starts in Kathmandu with a flight to Lukla and reaches up to the base camp, Khumbu glaciers, and Kalapathar. Trekking to Everest offers a unique opportunity to experience the rich culture of the Sherpa people and witness the breathtaking views of Mount Everest and the Himalayas.

Everest base camp trek, known as the EBC Trek in short form, is the perfect adventure package for mountain and nature lovers. And especially for those who want to be surrounded by the Himalayas. Our journey begins from the valley of rich culture to the whole new world of Sagarmatha National Park. During the EBC trekking, we will be able to experience adventure, tranquility, culture, tradition, and nature.

14 days Everest base camp trek is one of the world's most popular odysseys, attracting thousands of adventure tourists annually. The Base camp trekking trail lies in Khumbu, Nepal (also known as the Everest Region). The route to the base camp site and back is about 300 km (186 miles) long and takes about 12 to 14 days to complete, including a scenic flight to Lukla and return.

The highest view point, Kala Patthar, aka Black Rock, situated at 5,645m (18,519 ft) above sea level, is one of the best highlight's of the Everest 14 days excursion. This trip provides us with the best view of Mount Everest, Nuptse, and a "once in a lifetime experience.". Mt. Nuptse is also known as the “Tibetan West Peak," and it is situated 2 km (1.2 mi) west-southwest of Everest.

The Everest base camp trip is a symbol of conquering a different perspective on life by getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Apart from all this, it’s an opportunity to learn about the real warriors who make it to the highest point on Earth.

Trekking to Mount Everest base camp in Nepal is the adventure path to the Goddess of the Sky. The name "Everest" is known as Chomolungma Peak in Tibet and Mount Sagarmatha in Nepal, which means "the Head in the Great Blue Sky," derived from Sagar, meaning "sky," and Matha, meaning "head."

The route that was used by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to reach the top of Mount Everest in 1953 is the southeast ridge route to Accent. They accented the summit via the same route (the South Col route) at 11:30 local time on May 29, 1953. This trail is easier to ramble and not as technically difficult as the northern side.

14 Days Everest Base Camp Trail Description

Everest Base Camp Trek, as you already know, is "one of the world's most iconic trekking routes.". This challenging yet rewarding adventure winds its way through the Khumbu Valley. Our trek starts from Lukla 2,619 m (8,593 ft), known gateway to Mount Everest. Lukla is the starting point for our hikes to Mount Everest base camp.From here, our ascent takes us to Namche Bazaar, "The Sherpa Capital.". Namche is the main trading center and popular trekker hub in the Khumbu region. It is an altitude-acclimatization stop in the high Himalaya.

Next, our path leads to Tengboche, a sacred Buddhist monastery situated at 3,860 meters (12,630 feet). Here, we can immerse ourselves in spiritual heaven. Tengboche monastery offers unique traditional beliefs of the Sherpa people. The Himalayan peaks seen from Tengboche are Tawache, Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku, among many more.

Tenzing Norgay was born in the nearby village of Thani. He was the first man to summit the peak of Mount Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary. Norgay became a monk at Tengboche Monastery. After spending a day in Tengboche, our next destination is Dingboche Camp.

Dingboche stands at an elevation of 4,410 m (14,470 ft) in the Khumbu region of Nepal. Our 14 days Everest base camp trek will pass through Dingboche village. It serves as our second base for acclimatization. The climate of Dingboche is tundra (ET), according to Köppen. The climate has cool summers with heavy rains and dry, frigid winters, influenced mostly by the altitude and the summer monsoon.

The best periods to go Everest trekking are in the spring (March and April) or fall (October and November). During these, the weather is mild and the mountains are visible. Recently, Mount Everest base camp trekking is also open, making it ideal to go trekking in the winter (December to February). As the higher camp, like Dingboche, Lobuche accommodates hikers. The Everest Trek in winter offers less crowded trails with valued customer care from local tea houses in the Solukhumbu region.

And then we head to Lobuche, in the Khumbu area of Nepal, Lobuche (also Lobuje) is a small village near the base of Mount Everest. Lobuche is one of the second-last overnight spots on the "trail to base camp" path to Everest Base Camp (South) on the southeast route.

Everest Base Camp and Hike to Kalapathar

Finally, we will reach Gorakshep, the last stop before the base camp. Gorakshep serves as the base for your final ascent to Everest Base Camp. It is situated at an elevation of 5,364 meters (17,598 feet) above sea level.

From there, our expedition team can summit the Everest base camp by foot. After the summit, we are going to Gorak Shep. The Dalai Lama called it "the steps to heaven." Lukla to Everest Base Camp hikes wrap up here. The next day, we hike to Kala Patthar (5,545 m, 18,192 ft) for a unique vista of Everest, and start decending to Lukla via Pheriche, Namche Bazzar, and Phakding.

Best Time for Trek to Everest Base Camp

The best time to do Everest Base Camp trek is from late September to November, March to May, and December to February. During these months, the weather is usually stable and the sky is clear, so you can see the mountains very well.

In autumn, the weather is mild and the days are sunny, which makes it a great time to go hiking. This time of year is also less busy than spring. In the spring season, the weather is warmer and the flora is in full bloom, which makes the scenery even more beautiful. But this is a popular time to hike, so the trails may be full of people. Winter is less crowded, but you still need extra layers of clothing.

If you are an adventurer looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, then Booking a Everest Base Camp Trek is definitely worth considering.
