EVEREST BASE CAMP

THE ULTIMATE HIMALAYAN JOURNEY

Step into the Himalayas and follow in the footsteps of mountaineering legends. This isn’t just a trek — it’s a journey through soaring valleys, Sherpa communities, glacier landscapes and the shadow of the world’s highest peak.


Expect unforgettable moments:
• The iconic flight into Lukla
• Sherpa culture and vibrant mountain life
• Suspension bridges, prayer wheels & high-altitude trails
• The serenity of Tengboche Monastery
• Standing proudly at Everest Base Camp
• A 360° sunrise panorama from Kala Patthar (5,550m) — the best Everest viewpoint on Earth
