Overview

Everest Base Camp (EBC) Group Trek is among the most amazing adventure tourism activities imaginable. It leaves you right at the doorstep of Mount Everest (the tallest physical structure on planet Earth at 8,848.86 meters above sea level). However, it is not a joke to walk in the mountains. Moreover, the idea of traveling in a group has eased the process of camping for this trip, i.e. you can also talk, build friendships, and even walk with each other. 

 

Everest Base Camp Group Trek and its Overview

In World Alpine Treks, a maximum of 14 people make a single group. This is very useful not only for paying individual attention to the trekker without any problems during the trip but also for guaranteeing the smooth running of the trip. 

Whether as individuals or in a group, you are, beyond doubt, bound to come across our groups and have a fuzzy feeling. The beauty of adventure is that it is for one and all, which makes it form a safe or rejoicing background in itself. 

Not only is the walk from base camp to the summit of the world the trek itself, but steps are also part of the walk and part of the enjoyment of every step along the way. Here, a sense of adventure is created by picturesque woodland, across suspension bridges, down rivers, and Sherpa huts. You will be moved to places of interest, e.g., Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, and Sagarmatha National Park.

Every day, there is a new picture of a snow-capped mountain, e.g., Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Nuptse. Trekkers can experience Sherpa culture and Buddhism as well as village life. Every measure of their staggered stroll is enchanted as they are led inexorably toward the titan of all mountains, Everest.

Strict departure times allow you to easily schedule your travel and our experienced team will do their very best to smoothly and memorably craft your travel.

All our guides and porters are good, amiable and the best. The job that has to be accomplished to be able to control will be achieved in a way that all you will have to focus on at the end is the walk itself. For the expert trekker/or the beginner, the Everest Base Camp Group Trek organized by World Alpine Treks is an adventure that'll stay in memory forever.

Everest Base Camp Group Trek Route

The Everest Base Camp Group Trek starts with a flight to Lukla, a charming little mountain village located in the region. After this point, the hike begins, and you have to cross stunning trails promising lovely views with pine and rhododendron forests along the way. 

The first place to visit is Phakding, which is quiet, has only a few houses and is located between the Dudh Koshi River. The trail becomes slightly inclined as you cross suspension bridges and pass through some shear houses. 

Shortly after, you arrive at Namche Bazaar, which acts as the busiest and foremost center of the entire Everest area. This is where you take a rest day to acclimatize but go around the markets to do some shopping, cafes, and other viewpoints for your first look at Mount Everest.

Namche Bazaar is followed by a trail that already leads deeper into the mountains on your way to Tengboche. This place is well-known for its monastery, which is one of the biggest in this area, and stunning views of the Everest and Ama Dablam, which are seen here.

It goes on through valleys, yak grazing areas, small villages in Dingboche and Lobuche, and so on. As it goes on, you move closer to the destination at the Everest Base Camp happiness as you acclimatize at the same altitude. 

The last fantasy of the trek is the achievement of the Everest Base Camp, which the trekkers dream of during their trek. Observing one's self-standing at the foot of the highest point in the world is one of the most amazing feelings.

The next day, you rise up early to start the trek to Kala Patthar, which is the highest point to see the region. The golden sunshine over the mighty Everest and other neighboring mountain peaks will remain in your memory till the end of your life. When you are through admiring the views, you begin to hike back towards Lukla, which is also on the same trail used.

The first day marks your arrival day in Kathmandu. Clear all the visa requirements and customs clearance, if any, at the arrival section of the airport. As you come out, you will find a representative from World Alpine Treks waiting for you holding a board with your name. You will then be transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. The representative will shortly inform you about the plans ahead.

Namche Bazaar is an old but lively Sherpa village. It is a gateway to all the trekking routes that go to the Everest region. There are many vibrant shops, cyber cafes, restaurants, hotels, and lodges at this time. Namche Bazaar never rests. It always gets a lot of visitors and is always crowded.

The narrow streets of Namche are always crowded. Do not be surprised if the yak bells and other horns wake you up. Today is a day set aside for acclimatization purposes. As we gain height, our body needs to be well adapted to the altitude change. Therefore, we have set aside an extra day in Namche. Today, we hike up to Everest View Hotel for close-up views of the mountains in the Everest region. From the hotel, we can enjoy some striking views of mountains like Kwangde, Thamserku, Kangtega, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, etc. We can visit a museum and a photo gallery on our way back to Namche from the Everest View Hotel.

We leave Tengboche and start climbing up the trail for around six hours to Dingboche. As we ascend up, we can notice the change in vegetation. We can find ourselves moving above the tree line with pastures and meadows along the way. On the way, we can see small fields enclosed by stone walls to protect crops from cold winds. As we open up to the meadows of Dingboche, we will find ourselves in a spectacular location with wonderful views of Lhotse and Nuptse Ridge on sight. If the weather is favorable, one can relish the amazing views of the sunset over the Ama Dalam Himal in the Everest region.

We spend another day in Dingboche. This day in Dingboche is a part of acclimatization. As we have already gained enough height, acclimatization is a necessity.

We will be blessed with amazing views of Mt. Makalu, Mt. Ama Dalam, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, and many more. After enjoying the spectacles of the mountains from Nagerjun, we walk back to the guesthouse in Dingboche for the night.

Leaving Dingboche, the trail climbs up a ridge with some magnificent views of Taboche Peak and Cholatse. Further, the trail continues through yak pastures until we cross a wooden bridge over a stream to Duglha. From Duglha, we ascend up for an hour along a steep route above the moraine of Khumbu glacier. From here, we ascend the valley to Lobuche, enjoying the views of Khumbutse, Pumori, and Lingtren. Mt. Everest becomes invisible as it is hidden behind the towering peaks of Lhotse and Nuptse.

Today is one of the most rewarding days of our journey. Our week-long hard work is going to pay off as we will be stepping into the Everest Base Camp – the dream of every single travel lover. From Lobuche, we follow a rocky path to the last village of the trail – Gorekshep. From Gorekshep, we continue towards the world’s highest base camp, i.e., Everest Base Camp, through the Khumbu glacier. It is considered one of the most dangerous sections of the Everest Base Camp Trek. As we reach the base camp, we will be showered with some mesmerizing views of glaciers, lakes, caves, and icefalls. Though the views of Mt. Lhotse and Mt. Nuptse are quite clear, Mt. Everest hides back behind the shades of Lhotse and Nuptse. After spending some time in base camp, we return to Gorekshep via the same route.

Today, we woke up a little early to catch the sunrise views from Kalapatthar. We hike up for around two to three hours from Gorekshep to Kalapatthar.

Ama Dablam, etc. The golden rays of sunrise glittering over the snow-clad mountains in the region look amazing.
