Everest Basiskamp Tocht van één dag

 It’s the ultimate day of our trip but since we are spending a whole day and night at Everest base camp, there is no rush to leave our sleeping bags early on a chilly morning. We wake up leisurely and after breakfast, we begin our hike to Everest Base camp which starts with a walk back towards the Khumbu Glacier through the incredibly loose sand of Gorak Shep’s dry lakebed. Akin to the hike to Gorakshep from Lobuche the trail is easy, sloping gently upwards, but the altitude makes it intense. On a clear day, we can see Khumbu Icefall (one of the major obstacles Everest climbers need to conquer on their Everest expedition). The trail reaches the top of the ridge and follows the mountain edge due north towards the cul-de-sac at the end of the glacier. If it's Everest climbing season (April-May), we see colorful tents at Everest base camp.  We reach Everest base camp which is marked with piles of stones and strings of prayer flags and a few Everest base camp signs. We see massive mountains like Lingtren (22,142 ft / 6,749 m), Khumbutse (21,867 ft / 6,665 m), Nuptse, Lhotse, and the Khumbu Icefall but not Everest from Everest base camp, wired! Yes! But we have the whole day to explore further ahead of Everest base camp! Climb up closer to Khumbu Icefall if you regain energy back after this arduous climb. Temptation of getting closer to the mountains will bring your energy back. Enjoy both the sunset views and sunrise views over the mountains from Everest base camp! Observe the expedition life at Everest base camp and share the night with some of the intrepid Everest climbers! Thrilling camping at Everest base camp! You might not get sound sleep but the sleepless night is worth this adventure! Walking  Accommodation: Local lodge. Included Meals: B, L, D.
