About Everest Base Camp
The Everest Base Camp trek winds through rhododendron forests where Sherpa villages cling to 3,000-metre slopes—the highest inhabited region approaches earth and sky equally. Prayer flags flutter in rarefied air; yaks laden with cargo trains ascend endless switchbacks. Sagarmatha (Everest) remains hidden until the final stage reveals it perfectly framed.
