This trek is the premier goal for many adventurous walkers when making their first visit to Nepal. You visit both Everest Base Camp and Kala Pathar the viewpoint recognised as the best vantage point to see Mount Everest. The breath-taking mountain scenery is incredible and combined with visits to Thyangboche Monastery and the Sherpa capital Namche Bazaar it is easy to see why this is our most popular trek.
