PRLog -- Everest Base Camp Trekking has been a admired destination for trekkers. Everest Base Camp trekking is a very well known mountain trek, starts at the upper Phakding and follows the Dudh Kosi River, which climbs up to the Sherpa village of Namche, a busy bazaar that is a junction for trekkers, the local Sherpa and expeditions en route to the mighty Mt. Everest. All along this part of the trail, villages are interspersed with magnificent forests of rhododendron, magnolia and giant firs. In both the early autumn and late spring, the flowers on this portion of the trek make it the kind of walk you will remember for a long, long time. We trek along a high traversing path where we have our first good views of Everest and then head towards Tangboche Monastery, which is a 2-hour climb. The monastery sits at 3867m in a clearing surrounded by dwarf firs and rhododendrons. Everest Base Camp TrekkingThe monastery is structurally located on a ridge top with commanding views of the Everest landscape. The view from this spot, seen to best advantage in the morning, is absolutely mesmerizing and stunning and is rightly deemed to be one of the most magnificent in the world. We then descend to the Imja Khola and continue to the villages of Pangboche and Pheriche before finally approaching the Khumbu Glacier. We then follow the glacier, first to Lobuche, a vantage point for some spectacular views of the Ama Dablam and other peaks and then hike to Gorak Shep for a breather. We have the opportunity to ascend Kala Pattar [5554m] from where we can get some awesome views of the Himalayan giants which literally frozen your senses with breathless admiration that beholds the eye; and makes up for the lung-bursting climb that took you up there. You soon realize it was absolutely worth it. This also includes fantastic views of the southwest face of the colossal Mt. Everest. We then trek down to Everest Base Camp at the foot of the Khumbu icefall before finally making our way back down to Lukla. The best time for Everest base camp trekking is beginning of March to end of May and beginning of September to end of December. You can choose the details of itinerary of Everest base camp trekking and make it as per your desire and holidays.
