Itinerary Description
When the name “Everest” comes up, the mind is filled with the thoughts of a majestic mountain structure which has been the challenge to the mankind over the centuries. None dared to challenge its might until the last century when the human foot fell on the top of its peak. From then on the peak has drawn number of expeditions to its height. The experience and expertise gained by the humans over the decade have been instrumental in scaling the Everest summit. Touted as one of the most difficult peaks, even the ascend to its base camp is quite the challenge.
The footfall to the Everest base camp has increased over the recent years. The EBC trek attracts the people from world over. The EBC trek packages have been designed as per the requirements of the mountaineers from world over. Nestled in the Khumbu region of Nepal, the Mt EBC trek is one of the three most popular treks in the entire region. It is a difficult trek to climb where ascends to the camp passes through complex terrain. There are two base camps to Mt Everest- The South Base camp in Nepal at an altitude of 5364m & North Base camp in China at height of 5150m. The footfall is prominent on the Nepal side due to the ease of the resources and friendly policy of the government.
