INTRODUCTION
Everest Base Camp trek must be one of the trails in the world to be bucket listed by landscape photographers and mountain lovers. This journey to the top of the world will take you through stunning valleys, beautiful villages and panoramic views of the Himalayas before reaching the base camp of the highest mountain Everest. Views of glacial moraines, great monasteries, Sherpa villages and snow-capped mountains are a common sight to behold. You’ll get to see the rural way of living of the mountain community and get to experience interacting with the locals. The trip starts from Kathmandu where we will brave a flight to Lukla. We will immediately trek to Monjo upon arrival in Lukla. The total duration of the trek is 14 days not including our stay in Kathmandu. You’ll be accompanied by a Filipino coordinator and a local Nepalese guide to ensure our group’s safety. We will make your Everest Base Camp trek an experience you will treasure for life.
