Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes Trek

Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes Trek

Embark on an unforgettable 19-day adventure into the heights of the Himalayas, and earn the right to say you’ve conquered the challenge of reaching Everest Base Camp. Fly into Lukla from Kathmandu, then hit the trails of Sagarmatha National Park. Explore the mountains and valleys around the towering peak, rest in teahouses and take the path less travelled into the stunning Gokyo Lakes region. Then, it’s upwards and onwards to Base Camp, sitting a cool 5364 m above sea level. With the help of your expert leader you’ll learn about Nepalese culture as you go, and you’ll feel the support of your like-minded travellers.
