Lifetime experience trekking to Everest Base Camp Trek

For a person who loves Himalayas, the very mention of “Everest” sends tremors down his/her spine. At least that’s the case with me. Everest is the highest peak in the world and is one of the 14 mountain peaks higher than 8000 meters (26246 feet) collectively called Eight-thousanders.
Being an avid mountain lover and a person who has covered almost every wilderness spot in the Indian side of Himalayas and parts in Tibet, Mt. Everest has always been a place where I so badly want to go.
But its not simple, you need a lot of preparations and training to go to the Everest and scale it. Even a trek to the base camp of Everest is one of the toughest treks in the world.

The Everest Base Camp Trek is the ultimate experience one can think of wit the Himalayas. The magnificent highest mountain of the world, Mt. Everest (8,848m) is plays hide and seek all along with you during this trek. The trek route lies in Solukhumbu district of Nepal and is amidst elevated peaks and local Sherpa villages. This trek experience is one of the biggest thrills which an adventure lover can get. The Buddhist monasteries along the way help the traveler to get a close look into the history and influence of Tibet in the daily life of Sherpas. Their understanding and adaption of the landscape leave one surprised and impressed.
Surrounded by 4 out of 6 highest peaks of the world including Lhotse (8,501m), Mt. Makalu (8,470m) and Cho Oyu (8,201m) Everest Base Camp Trek is an excellent choice for those looking for enjoying nature at its fullest together with rich local culture.
Walking those peaceful rocky trails enclosed by huge snow peaks can be exciting. Whole expedition starting from Kathmandu (1,350m) to all the way till Kala Patthar (5,545m) spending overnight in villages like Tengboche (3,870m) and Dingboche (4,360m) is a trek full of risk. But what is adventure without a risk.
Today all the worries of arranging the trek can very easily be bypassed to one of the best Travel companies in Nepal, Hiking Adventure Trekking Pvt. Ltd which came into existence in 2011.
