There will be private cab / jeep to pick up you from Airport & transfer to the hotel. It takes 30-40 minutes to reach the hotel.
Everest base camp is located in the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal. It is one of the fascinating treks in the world. Since Mt. Everest is the highest peak on earth, EBC trek gives you a chance to test your strength & endurance at high altitude. It’s a treasure for those who love mountains &wants to explore Sherpa culture, food, lifestyle etc. I call it a "magnet of attractions”.
The trek starts & ends at Lukla. Along the way you'll see many monasteries & stupas which carries a religious significant & reflection on their life style. Although the Nepal is a small country there are hundreds of peaks still undiscovered, unexplored. Khumbu is the glory of the multiple peaks, glaciers, passes, lakes & big mountains including Mt. Everest. The most unique" Yaks" in the Everest base camp trail lures you, make you stand & grab a photographs/videos presenting snow- capped mountains on background. You'll observe the panoramic view of Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse,Mt. Everest from Everest View Hotel.(5 star hotel at altitude of 3800m from sea level)
