Why Visit Everest Base Camp
At 5,364m, Everest Base Camp is the most iconic trekking destination on earth. The 12–14 day route from Lukla passes through Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries at Thyangboche, and the surreal Khumbu Glacier. It stands at the foot of the world's highest peak — one of the world's great pilgrimages for non-climbers.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to trek to Everest Base Camp is March–May or October–November.
Difficulty & What to Expect
This is a Challenging trek. Altitude sickness is the main risk — spend 2 nights at Namche Bazaar (3,440m) to acclimatise. No technical climbing gear is required for Base Camp itself.
Who It's Best For
Everest Base Camp suits experienced hikers, bucket-list seekers, and altitude trekkers.
