De Everest Base Camp Trek is een van de populairste toeristische bestemmingen op aarde. Het Everest Basiskamp heeft veel meer te bieden dan alleen maar mooie uitzichten op het Himalaya-gebergte, wat zeker geen slechte zaak is. Het Basiskamp trekt klimmers en enthousiastelingen van over de hele wereld aan, waardoor bezoekers de kans krijgen om veel meer te leren over andere culturen - op een van de hoogste punten van de planeet! Het is ook een spiritueel toevluchtsoord en de ontelbare boeddhistische vlaggen maken dat duidelijk. Het is heel moeilijk om in woorden te beschrijven hoe de sfeer in het kamp is. Het is iets uit een andere wereld. De kleurrijke gebedsvlaggen die het kamp versieren en het prachtige uitzicht op het Himalaya-gebergte geven je het gevoel dat het echt de hemel op aarde is.
De trektocht begint na een korte vlucht van Kathmandu naar Lukla. Vanuit Lukla beginnen trekkers aan de tocht naar het Everest Base Camp door het Sagarmatha National Park, een ruig en adembenemend landschap dat de diepe rivieren en enorme gletsjers laat zien die in het terrein zijn uitgesleten.
Na de steile klim door het Sagarmatha National Park bereiken de trekkers Namche Bazaar. Namche Bazaar op 3.440 m is het thuis van de beroemde Sherpa's en een charmant toevluchtsoord in dit prachtige landschap. Er zijn veel accommodaties voor trekkers. Er zijn ook winkels waar je je extra kunt bevoorraden. Trekkers hebben de kans om het rijke culturele erfgoed van de Sherpa's en het gevarieerde landschap van de omliggende gebieden te ontdekken.
Na Namche gaat het pad door weelderige alpenbossen, prachtige gletsjerrivieren en heilige boeddhistische tempels in de richting van Everest Base Camp en Kala Patthar. In Kala Patthar is het overduidelijk en gemakkelijk te zien waarom de Mount Everest en het Sagarmatha National Park zo'n populaire bestemming zijn. Dit is een avontuur dat je moet ondernemen om een onvergetelijke levenservaring op te doen.
