Introduction to 8 Days Everest Base Camp Trek

Experience the wonder of Mount Everest, the friendliness of the Sherpa people, the culture of Tibetan Buddhism, and the thrill of flying by helicopter to Everest Base Camp, all within six days

Experience the wonder of Mount Everest, the friendliness of the Sherpa people, the culture of Tibetan Buddhism, and the thrill of flying by helicopter to Everest Base Camp, all within six days.

On this tour, you experience all the highlights of the normal 12-day Everest Base Camp trek without so much body stress. There is plenty of trekking included in this short trip for those who love to trek but perhaps do not have enough time to complete the full circuit.

With an average of 5 hours hiking per day, a good level of fitness is still required but if you generally hike, gym, and are pretty active in your everyday life this could be just right for you.

There is a wonderful Everest base camp helicopter tour and the amazing viewpoint of Everest to complete the adventure. Then a relaxing helicopter ride back to Kathmandu to round it off.

We also include two two-night stays in Kathmandu, one before and one after the trip.
