Everest Base Camp Trek

Khumbu•Nepal

Overview

The trail traces a steep gorge, with long, unbroken stretches of elevation gain over countless stone stairways and compacted earth paths. Beyond the tree line, the landscape shifts into a barren, treeless expanse of rock, fully exposed to intense sunlight and powerful Himalayan winds. The total vertical climb throughout the journey is substantial, ultimately bringing trekkers to the geological base of the world’s tallest peaks.
