The Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days is a rewarding and life-changing journey on the planet. This breathtaking journey takes you deep into the Khumbu region of northeastern Nepal. In this trek, you will walk the land of towering Himalayan giants, ancient highland culture and profound natural beauty.

At the pinnacle point of this route you will find Everest Base Camp (5,364m/ 17,598ft), a historic destination that has inspired generations of mountaineers, adventures and dreamers. Unlike the longer variation of trek that stretches over two weeks or shorter versions that risk poor acclimatization, the 12 days EBC trek itinerary is the perfect balance between efficiency and safety.

These strategically placed acclimatization destinations minimize the risk of altitude sickness. EBC trek is an excellent choice for trekkers who are short on time but don't want to compromise on the quality of the experience.

The moment you take off on the thrilling flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (2,860m/ 9,383ft) you will enter a world unlike any other. Towering snow-capped peaks, swinging suspension bridges, terraced hillsides and stone-carved mani walls welcome you to the Khumbu Valley.
