Everest Base Camp Trekking one of the most popular trekking journey among trekkers. Starting at the upper Phakding, this mountain trek follows the Dudh Kosi River then leads to Namche, a busy bazaar that is a junction for trekkers, the local Sherpa and expeditions en route to the mighty Mt. Everest. Along this journey, we are greeted by the magnificent forests of rhododendron, magnolia and giant firs. The best time for Everest Base Camp trekking is during early autumn and late springs when the flowers are blooming all over. After trekking through a high crossing path we will have an enchanting view of Everest and then a 2-hours walk will take us towards the Tangboche Monastery. The beautiful monastery is in the height of 3867m and is surrounded by dwarf firs and rhododendrons.

During the Everest base camp trek, the best view can be seen from this place, from where it looks absolutely mesmerizing and stunning. The descend to Imja Khola takes us to the villages of Pangboche and Pheriche and then finally takes us to the Khumbu Glacier. Lobuche, a vantage point for some spectacular views of the Ama Dablam and other peaks, comes after we follow the Khumbu glacier. Then the ascend to Kala pattar[5554m] from where the beautiful scenery of the Himalayas can seen makes you realize that every step that you took was absolutely worth it. Not only that, we can also see the picturesque southwest face of the colossal Mt. Everest. After reaching the Everest base camp at the end of the Khumbu icefall, we make our way back to Lukla.

The specific time to carry out Everest base camp trekking is beginning of March to end of May and beginning of September to end of December. However, you can go over the details of trek in Nepal and even amend it to your desire or your vacation.

                                  Excelente viaje por todo Nepal / Excelent travel all Nepal.

                                  Que contáis viajeros? Dejo aquí mi reseña de la segunda visita a Nepal, un país que me encanta. Como dije es mi segunda visita a este hermoso país, en la anterior fue combinada con visita a Tibet, por lo que no tuve el tiempo necesario para recorrerlo, hacer treking y demás actividades. Para esta larga estadía y largo viaje a través de las montañas, explorar el Reino perdido de Mustang y llegar al Terai a visitar a Budha elegí a la empresa Outshine Adventure, que ya había conocido en mi anterior viaje, en la persona de su mánager y propietario Gokul Sapkota. Si hablas solo español aquí estas en las manos perfectas, el habla muy bien español y tiene guías como “Siri” que lo hablan casi perfecto. Buen servicio de guiado, su hotel es cómodo, con un personal excelente, los chicos de allí son muy cordiales, esta bien aseado todo, el desayuno es bueno, organizan todo para ti, Gokul esta todo el día pendiente del servicio consultando si todo esta bien, si los guías son buenos, si el chofer (vaya que buen chofer, hemos viajado cientos de kilómetros por esas rutas imposibles) y todo fue de la mejor manera, yyyy mira que allí hay que conducir!!! me saco el sombrero.
                                  Hemos realizado cuanta actividad quisimos, hicimos treking a Namche Bazar, somos personas ya grandes, Claudia nunca había hecho treking en las montañas, y vaya debut!! Aterrizar en Lukla es una experiencia fuera de lo común, allí nos esperaba “Raj” si vas a Lukla busca este guía, se llama Tek Raj Tamang, el no habla español pero si un perfecto ingles, un joven muy amistoso, amable, educado, con una voluntad de atender al cliente digna de mencionar. Vaya que es paciente, Claudia lo ama por su ayuda y colaboración, para ella llegar a Namche significaba un esfuerzo enorme y con la ayuda de Raj lo logro, lloramos de la emoción al llegar a ese hermoso lugar. Si lees esto, muchas gracias Raj por tan hermosa experiencia compartida. No olvidaremos nunca el regreso a “Surkey” bajo esa lluvia torrencial para tomar el helicóptero. Bueno el vuelo en helicóptero fue fantástico. De allí nos fuimos con “Siri” otro guía excepcional, habla perfecto español, una parte del viaje nos acompaño Gokul el dueño al “Reino perdido de Mustang” al otro extremo de Nepal, un lugar fantástico, muy similar a mi tierra aquí en Patagonia Argentina. Todo un itinerario de vuelo a Pokhara, de allí vehículo, con experiencias inolvidables, compartiendo en casas de lugareños la cocina, pueblos en medio de esa lejanía, monasterios, no quedo nada por ver y aprender de la cultura local. De allí nos fuimos al otro extremo, El Terai con la frontera de India, Lumbini. A visitar a Budha y cumplir algo muy personal junto a Claudia. Como verais hemos dado la vuelta a Nepal en 30 días de viaje, todo resulto fantástico, un viaje con mayúsculas. Todos los servicios ofrecidos se cumplieron, y los que no fueron por razones de causa mayor como el clima, era época del monzon, por lo que surgieron dificultades que fueron resueltas de manera excelente, buscando alternativas, otros medios de viaje, comidas adicionales, estadías no programadas, una atención de primera. Nosotros viajamos para conocer la cultura, visitar lugares hermosos, estar en contacto con la gente, no buscamos lujos, si un muy buen servicio de atención personalizada, no viajamos en grupos porque no nos gusta, lo hacemos solos y buscamos esta clase de atención brindada, la cual reitero fue excelente para cumplir nuestro viaje. Quizás alguna vez volveremos a caminar por Thamel y visitar estos amigos de Outshine Adventure y caminar con “Raj” por la base del Everest.
                                  Si viajas allí pide por “Raj” y “Siri” (si necesitas hablar en español), no te defraudaran. Buen Viaje amigos!!!

                                  Everest Base Camp Trek (Feb 2023)

                                  I did the Everest Base Camp Trek in Feb 2023 and had an incredible time. The team at Outshine Adventures were superb in providing timely information, accommodation and ensuring I had the proper gear before the trek. They were also kind enough to help me retrieve my luggage from the airport which was delayed upon arrival in Nepal. The Outshine team provided a fantastic day tour of Kathmandu prior to the trek, where I was able to learn more about the culture and city with a very experienced guide, making the beginning of this trip that much more exciting. The trek itself was unbelievably stunning and was both a humbling and an amazing experience. My guide, Dillisher Katuwal was truly world class in both his experience of the mountains as well as ensuring I was safe each step of the way. Trekking with him was incredibly enjoyable and rewarding. For anyone considering any form of adventure to Nepal, I would highly recommend this company as well as Dillisher Katuwal as your guide.
