Overview

Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek is one of the most challenging mountain treks in the world. Located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, this trek has been a very popular destination for trekkers and tourists ever since the very first expedition to the Nepalese side of Mt. Everest in 1953 has been done. It is famous for its spectacular mountain peaks, accompanied by the loyalty and friendliness of its inhabitants (the Sherpas). The main attraction of the trek is Mt.
