Everest Base Camp
from £1,600.00
This corner of the world simply has to be on your list of places to go. From the welcoming nature of the Sherpa to the panoramic vistas for miles to see there is literally something to suit everyone. The trek to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar is a popular trek but by no means does that make it easy. This 12 day trek incorporates acclimatisation days and excursions to assist with the acclimatisation process but the air is thinner higher up and this makes physical activity harder. We have however enlisted the support of a local Sherpa, porters and thier expertise to give us the best opportunity of achieving our goal.
With the highest mountain in the world always just around the corner it’s hard not to get excited when ascending towards Everest Base Camp. In every direction the mountains of the high Himalaya can be seen and it is simply breathtaking. Stopping along the trail for a cup of tea sitting on the terrace of a teahouse relaxing and soaking in all that is Nepal will make you wish you’d been sooner and make you never want to leave.
Porters will carry your kit leaving you with just a daypack so you can focus on the trek and enjoying your surroundings. The Sherpa and assistant guides will support you throughout each day from teahouse to teahouse where you can rest for the night.
We pride ourselves on having tried and tested each of our events before offering them to our clients and that way we can advise you from personal experience and support you in the planning proces from the very first time you contact us. We believe our events provide a quality experience at a competitive rate and we trust you won’t be disappointed.

The affects of altitude vary massively from person to person but in most cases improve with time spent at altitude. If they don’t action may need to be taken. Some symptoms of altitude sickness could include: headaches, loss of appetite, fatigue and more. Acclimatisation is very important when trekking at altitude and it is vital not to ascend too quickly. Your guides during the trek will keep a close eye on you to ensure any affects of altitude can be managed appropriately. It should be noted that the best solution to solving altitude sickness is to descend and if it is felt by the guide that this is the best option then they will support you in doing so. The British Mountaineering Council has some good advice and tips on mountain sickness. See – https://www.thebmc.co.uk/hill-skills-an-introduction-to-altitude
