This is one of the world’s best treks, and is one of our most popular, set amongst breathtaking high mountain sceneries. Magnificent landscapes, imposing and prestigious peaks, tapering ridges, and colourful Sherpa villages contribute to turning this trek into an unforgettable experience. The route takes you through the high Khumbu Mountains before finally arriving at the foot of Everest.  The starting point for all summit attempts, Everest Base Camp is situated on the Khumbu Glacier. We ascend the Kala Pathar (5,554m) for one of the highlights of this trek, from here one gains a lifelong memory of an incredible panorama of Ama Dablam, Makalu, Nuptse, Lhotse and the majestic Everest (the Sherpa name is Chomolungma (Mother Goddess of the World), and Nepali is Sagarmatha (Brow of the Ocean)) - undeniably the greatest of all mountains standing at 8,848M.  The impressive Thyangboche Monastery (3,860m) is an important Buddhist monastery, which has the largest Gompa in the Khumbu region.  Built in 1923 it has been damaged by both earthquake and fire; it has subsequently been rebuilt with help from Sir Edmund Hillary Foundation and many other international supporters.
