Overview

Everest Base Camp is most commonly visited one of the best classic treks in Nepal as a two weeks trek starting and finishing at Lukla. Evererst Base Camp luxury trek is ideal for those who want to visit base camp but shorter trek with comfort and luxury service in the high Himalaya of Khumbu. The service starts with helicopter flight to Lukla then move to Namche Bazaar from where the trail follows the valley of the Imja Khola with some spectacular views of the mountains including Thamserku, Kangtega, and Ama Dablam and dominating the skyline ahead, Everest and Lhotse.
