The Classic Everest Base Camp Trek follows the original walk-in route used by the first climbers bound for Everest. We commence our journey overland following the route of the first pioneers to Jiri a market town and the gateway to the Solu Kumbu region. The route, now designated part of the Great Himalaya Cultural Trail, is full of fascinating sights and cultural interests. The first few days walk (trekking) are a push up through the beautiful alpine region of Solu on our way to the mountain airstrip at Lukla. From Lukla, we continue trek onward and alongside the region’s famous inhabitants the legendary Sherpas. These hardy people have carved an existence since time immemorial from the frozen landscape. Trekking through Sherpa villages and Monasteries along the way to our destination, Kalla Pattar. From Kala Patthar, there are outstanding views of Everest along with Nuptse and Lhotse. We trace back to Lukla for our flight to Kathmandu, the end of this trekking trip!
