Even id you may not have imagined yourself on the highest peak, you wold definitely love to set your foot on the lap of the The Great Mount Everest. Not, physically, but I will take you to journey to Everest base Camp through blog and let you imagine being there.

The Everest base camp trek is considered one of the toughest trek experience. The journey to the top will definitely not be easy.  Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world which stands at the height of 8848m from sea level. It is located at the Solukhumbu district of Nepal. 

The Everest Base camp is very popular for camping. Many travelers and trekkers stays here to breath the chilly air and feel the amazing vibe of Himalays. On your journey to Everest Base Camp you will be spending minimum 6 nights above 4000 meters and atv least 2 nights above 5000 meters. The air pressure at 5000 meters is just above half that of sea level which means you might be short of air.

But as long you remember that you are on vacation and that there is no rush (after all that is the point of a vacation, right?), you will do great. Many people who forget this simple fact of life and underestimate Acute Mountain Sickness either end their trek half dazed in a rescue helicopter.

The Everest Base Camp Trek journey begins with breathtaking 45 minutes flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Lukla is the starting and ending point of the trek. From the Khumbu region at Lukla where Mount Everest lies the long hike begins.

The path will welcome you with majestic views and jaw dropping scenery.  On the way you will be exploring Chaurikharka Village and then descent to Dudhkoshi Ghat (2,530m/8,300ft).
