The Everest Base Camp trek is a classic walk from Lukla to Kala Patar close to the base camp of the world's highest mountain. It is a popular route, amongst some of the most breath-taking mountain scenery imaginable. The trail to base camp has a network of small lodges which have recently seen big improvements in food and accommodation facilities. This now makes the programme ideally suited to lodge-based trekking. The trip is taken at a relaxed pace, with rest days allowing for proper acclimatization.
