Everest Base Camp Trek (US$ 1800)

Duration: 18 - 21 days

Elevation: up to 5400 metres (18,400 feet)

At the end of your ten-week stay in Mussoorie, you will have the option of participating in a three-week trek in the Everest Region of the Himalayas in Nepal. The Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most popular in the region and is on the must-do list of trekking enthusiasts. It is a challenging and worthwhile journey through which you can experience the innermost layer of the Himalayas. Walking along the path, you often encounter an overload of aesthetic pleasure with the mesmerizing sight of the highest mountain range in the world. You will also have the opportunity of interacting with indigenous mountain communities virtually untouched by the modern world.

As a part of our acclimitization process we also trek to the base camp of Amadablam (22,349 ft). If you happen to be a tad more adventurous, you can add Gokyo Lake via the Chola Pass to the Everest Base Camp Trek for no additional cost.

Fitness Level

This trek is demanding but does not require that you have any previous trekking or mountaineering experience. If you participate in our weekend hikes and explore the hillside in your free time, we believe you will be in good condition for the trek. Being in Mussoorie at an altitude of 6000 ft., you are well acclimatized to start the trek at Lukla (9380 ft). We encourage you to be physically active while you’re here, and once the trek begins you will acclimatize further along the way.
