Everest Basecamp – Flying to Lukla

1 - 10 persons

“Mt. Everest” is the highest place on Earth where people can walk. It is also called “the roof of the world.” The highest peak on Earth is 8848.86m high, which is a very high height. It is on the eastern side of Nepal and shares a border with Tibet.
Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenjin Norgay Sherpa introduced a trekking route to Everest when they reached the top of the mountain in 1953. Mt. Everest, also called Sagarmatha by the government of Nepal and Chomolungma by the locals, which means “Mother Goddess of the World,” is without a doubt the most promising trekking destination from all over the world.
Some of the best things about the Everest trekking regions are the huge landscapes, hills, dense forests, running waterfalls, icefalls, and glaciers.

Spring and fall are much warmer than winter, so this is when most people travel.
