Our 17 day Everest Base Camp trek has a fantastic mixture of high altitude trekking and cultural exploration of the renowned Sherpa people.  This trip also includes extra time in Kathmandu for sightseeing and a spare day at the end in case of bad weather or flight delays.  It will definately exceed your expectations in every way.  With carefully attention to detail, the planned itinerary follows centuries old trails leading through the villages of Namche, Khumjung and the spectacular monastery at Tengboche.  Ascending Kala Patthar, at 5643m, puts you at the centre of a spectacular 360-degree panorama of Everest and her siblings.  The return route follows quieter trails and passes through villages that are seldom visited allowing you a further insight into local culture and presenting the opportunity to catch glimpses of rare Himalayan wildlife.
