Description :
The Sagamartha (Everest) Base Camp trek
takes us into one of the most
spectacular regions of Nepal where the
Sherpa culture thrives amongst the
highest peaks in the world. The
Sagamartha massif as seen from
Thyangboche and Kala Pattar is a sight
you will never forget, and the
hospitality of these tough mountain
people will remain with you for a long
time. This is the traditional trek to
view Sagamartha, following the historic
trail and travelling in true expedition
style; it will appeal to those who wish
to retrace the steps of history to the
base of the highest mountain in the
world.
Grade : Moderate
/Challenging
You will be walking five to eight hours
per day at altitudes not exceeding 4,500
meters with steep ascents and descents.
Preparation will be much the same as for
the introductory trek but should include
more steep ascents and descents if

the lift is a good way to prepare for
these treks as is cycling and swimming.
