Everest

Treks and Tours

There is a great deal more to the Everest region than the Everest Base Camp Trek, yet the lure of the world's highest mountain attracts thousands of hikers every year. 

There are different trekking routes to Everest Base Camp too. 

  • Whether it's to glimpse Everest from afar, from a classic viewpoint like Kala Pattar, or to scale a Himalayan peak, there's so much more to this region than Everest itself. This is the land of the Sherpa, a hardy people whose friendly nature and cheerful smiles are the stuff of legend. Sherpa and Everest are inseparable. Their tiny villages, sparsely scattered throughout the Khumbu, just seem to belong naturally in this high mountain landscape. There are iconic peaks such as Ama Dablam and Lhotse to complement Everest, small monasteries, glacial lakes, wildlife, and all the comings and goings that both daily life and tourism bring, adding to the flavour of Everest treks.

    While many follow what has become known as the standard trek to Everest, there are alternative routes that deviate from the main trail. There are short Everest treks, and nowadays there are even high-standard luxury trekking lodges in the Everest region.

    However, if hiking isn't your thing. Don't worry. You can still see Everest by plane or even by private helicopter. See our Unique Ideas page for more.

For the serious, committed trekker only. A very challenging Everest trek across two high passes (Renjo La and Cho La) to reach EBC. A quieter route by nature of the more strenuous trekking required. Tough, but exceptionally rewarding, and very spectacular. Add the Kongma La too to make it even tougher!

The classic route to Everest Often described as 'bog standard', we don't think there's anything standard about trekking to reach the base of the world's highest mountain.
