It is no secret that the Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal is one of the most beautiful walking adventures in the world. Traversing the trail towards the base of the highest mountain on earth is an incredible adventure indeed.

The trail to the Everest base camp got more popular after Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa scaled Mt. Everest to the top in 1953 AD. Although there were several mountaineers who had tried to climb the mountain, the Kiwi and the Nepalese duo were eventually successful. And the highest mountain in the world started drawing the attention of mountaineers and trekkers from around the world.

Today, Everest Base Camp Trek has become pretty much synonymous to the trekking adventure in the Himalaya. However, the adventure is not only about walking to the base camp but also about experiencing the Sherpa culture and lifestyle. The trail passes through several beautiful settlements of the Sherpa people – the famous mountaineering tribe in Nepal. In addition to the walking experience and cultural exploration, you will also enjoy mesmerizing views of the towering mountains in the region.

If you can call any trip an adventure of your lifetime, Everest Base Camp Trek is certainly the one. The experience you get in the adventure is simply out of this world.
