This trek to Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar offers the best this area has to offer without taking too long. This trek is truly an incredible experience of this magnificent region and its fascinating people. From Lukla (2,805m/9,200ft) we trek to Namche Bazaar (3,436m/11,270ft) for a day of acclimatization and optional hikes. From Namche we explore the Sherpa villages of Khunde and Khumjung before heading for Tengboche Monastery. After visiting Chukung Ri we trek to Lobuche for a day-hike along the Khumbu Glacier to Everest Base Camp (5,364m/17,600ft) and a climb of Kala Pathar Peak (5,550m/18,200ft) for a close encounter with Mt. Everest. Surrounded by some of the highest mountains on the Earth you will bask in this incredible mountain scenery before swinging back by way of, little visited, Phortse village to fly out of Lukla.
