The Everest Base Camp Trek & Kalar Patar
Classic Everest Or Ultimate Everest
Classic Everest & Kalar Patar - Grade: B
This
traditional Everest Base Camp trek is perhaps the most famous in the
world; ideal for those who are new to the delights of trekking or those
with limited time. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you will be greeted by
the wonderful hustle and bustle, sights and smells of this vibrant
capital. We then make an early departure to the famous Lukla airstrip
where our journey into the heart of Nepal begins.
You will find
yourself immersed in the wonders of this beautiful country, with its
idyllic blue roofed houses, colourful prayer flags, fragrant
rhododendrons, friendly Sherpa life and breathtaking scenery.We trek
through the prosperous Namche Bazaar and many other delightful Sherpa
villages, including Thyangboche with its impressive temple and the
quieter farming village of Dingboche. At many points along this route
you will stand in awe amidst breathtaking mountain views of one of the
most beautiful peaks in the world; Ama Dablam, leading to the towering
faces of Everest itself.
We arrive at Everest Base camp and
finally complete our impressive journey with an ascent of the
magnificent peak of Kalar Patar at 5554m. You will be rewarded with an
awesome 360 degree panorama of spectacular 8000m peaks; each one
framing the world's highest. This moment is a long-awaited and much
sought after sight. All trekking nights are in Tea Houses/Lodges, no
camping.
Ultimate Everest - Grade: C
The
ultimate trek, taking in the best of the Khumbu and Everest. We have
chosen this route to enable trekkers with a little more time available
to complete an impressive circular route that guarantees similar
stunning views to that of our classic Everest trek, and more.
We
approach Everest via the sacred lakes of the Gokyo Valley, visit the
magnificent viewpoint Gokyo Ri (5350m) and cross the famous Cho La Pass
(5420m) on the South side of Everest. We do not miss the opportunity to
ascend the famous summit Kalar Patar (5554m) from where the views
towards Everest and the surrounding peaks are breathtaking. The trek
ends by camping at the base of Everest, directly below the imposing
Khumbu Icefall (all other nights are in Tea Houses/Lodges). This
location offers a grand amphitheatre of rock and ice; a spectacular
camp setting. We then return to Lukla along the resplendent Khumbu
Valley,with its diverse wildlife and vegetation, as well as its rich
culture. A truly memorable experience closely following the footsteps
of legendary mountaineers.
