Everest, the top of the World. Reaching the top of the world is the dream of every person. Everest Base Camp Treks takes you up to the base camp of Mount Everest. The highest point of the trek, Kalapathar, is the best viewpoint of hundreds of Himalayan peaks, including Everest. This 15-day trek to Everest passes through many typical Sherpa villages, dense forests, rivers, monasteries, and of course, mountain views. Treks to Everest provide many optional itineraries, but the first choice of many people is to make it to the Everest Base Camp. This trek facilitates local guest houses all the way up to the end point of the trek. Your professional guide and supporter is the key person to making your trip successful and joyful.

Touch Kailash Travels and Tours provides a professional, helpful, friendly, and informative guide and strong porters who will help you complete this 15-day trek to Everest.

This trek immediately reaches high-altitude land. Your first day reaching Lukla (2860) meters and sleeping at 2610 meters is higher than staying in the Kathmandu valley. Good acclimatization in Namche Bazar (3440m) and easy hiking around will help your body adjust to high altitude. You can also have one more acclimatization day in Dingboche in case of any doubt. This day can be adjusted with the last spare day in Kathmandu of our 15-day itinerary. Trekking every day is about 5-6 hours, which is slow walking at a high altitude. Way back from Everest Base Camp is faster. This trek can be run throughout the year, but there is a special season with sunny days and clear Himalayan views with no rain in the mountain.

The best seasons to trek to Everest are autumn and spring. The months of March to May and September to November are sunny days with clear skies. You can still make this trek in the winter season from December to February.
