 The
Everest or Khumbu region is justifiably the most famous
of all trekking and mountain regions. Populated by Sherpas,
the attractions of this area are the majestic mountains,
the high mountain villages, the isolated monasteries,
and the local peoples. This area includes the highest
mountain in the world, Everest at 8,848m, and many of
the world's 8,000m peaks such as Lhotse, Cho Oyu, and
Makalu. First climbed in 1953, Everest still holds a fascination
for many, however the Everest region boasts many more
spectacular and beautiful mountains, as well as some of
the most rewarding trekking anywhere in the world.
The Everest Base Camp trek is a classic trek which follows
in the footsteps of Hillary & Tenzing and ends with
an ascent of Kala Pattar for superb views of Everest.
This trek starts with an exhilarating 45 minute mountain
flight into the airstrip at Lukla. From here we trek slowly
upwards to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar, following
the valley of the Dudh Kosi river. It is not long before
we glimpse our first view of Everest as it peeks above
the Lhotse-Nuptse ridge. At this point it is still many
days walk away, but with careful acclimatization it is
not long before we find ourselves high up in the heart
of the Khumbu region.
We visit Tengbuche monastery en route before continuing
on to our goal, an ascent of Kala Pattar, a rocky outcrop
to the west of Everest. This vantage point gives fantastic
views of the Ice Fall and South Col as well as the immense
south-west face of Everest which was first climbed in
1975 by Chris Bonington's team. This is truly a classic
trek, which undoubtedly gives one of the best mountain
views in the world. Accommodation and food is provided
in the local lodges
