The Everest Base Camp Trek takes one to the foothills of the mightiest of the mountains in the world. En route, traverse through rhododendron and pine forests, rivers, Sherpa villages and Buddhist Monasteries from temperate to snow line regions.

This trek involves a tremendous amount of up-and-down walking. All the rivers in this part of Nepal flow south form Himalayan glaciers, but the trek route proceeds east. Therefore the trail must climb to the ridge that separates two rivers, descended to the river itself, and ascend the next ridge. Even though the trek begins at an elevation of 1860m, on the sixth day it crosses the Dudh Kosi at only 1500m – after considerable uphill climbing, it will come to almost 5360m of elevation to Everest base camp. The Nepal Himalayas are best seen on this trek as one traces the main route through the Khumbu region from the Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar. The trekkers get a close view of the world's greater mountains such as Mt. Everest (8,848m) and others mountains like Lhotse, Nuptse, Thamserku, and Tawache.
