It’s easy to understand why an Everest Base Camp hike is a bucket list item for many.

One of the most adventurous, challenging, but rewarding treks in the world, this trail offers phenomenal mountain landscapes and incredible insights into the lives of Sherpas and others in the Khumbu Region.

And who better to show you all this than Sherpas themselves? Elite Exped is entirely Nepalese-run, with our record-breaking directors Nimsdai, Mingma David Sherpa, and Mingma Tenzi priding themselves on their ability to bridge the gap between Western and Himalayan climbing cultures, offering the best of both worlds.

Elite Exped’s Everest Base Camp climb follows an expedition plan that our leaders have set out. After exploring the shrines, temples, bazaars and restaurants of Kathmandu, we take a flight to Lukla, a gateway to Everest.

Then, we walk up to the Dudh Kosi Valley, surrounded by the magnificent peaks of Kusum Kanguru and Thamserku. We make the steep ascent to Namche Bazaar, the capital of the Khumbu Sherpas, where we spend a day acclimatising and sightseeing.

From there, we follow the trails to Tengboche, located high on a ridge, which provides one of the most spectacular 360-degree mountain panoramas anywhere on the planet. You can see Everest, the Lhotse-Nuptse Wall, Ama Dablam and Kantega. We pass through Buddhist monasteries and past ancient shrines, with the massive bulk of Mount Everest itself looming ever closer. From Kala Patthar at 5,643m, you’ll get an incredible vista of the world’s most famous mountain, before we head to base camp.

Our return journey takes us through Dingboche, Phortse and Khumjung, before we part ways in Kathmandu, 16 days and a whole lifetime’s worth of experiences later.
