Everest Base Camp,
Kala Pathhar Trekking
he route to Everest Base Camp is probably the
most famous mountain trek in the world. Every spring and autumn
the trail fills with awestruck walkers who wind their way through
friendly Sherpa villages. Porters and yaks ferrying equipment
seem minute compared to the towering heights of Ama Dablam,
Kangtega and Tawoche. Base Camp sits astride glacial moraine
beneath the unforgiving Khumbu Icefall, and above it all the
mighty Everest.
Highlights: Sherpa culture,
phenomenal mountain views, fantastic Tibetan monasteries, musk
deer and Himalayan pheasant, the trek of a lifetime!
