Everest Base Camp

A typical 15 to 16 day trek is similar to the Gokyo / Everest route but omits the Gokyo Lakes area. Treks pass through Sherpa villages on a direct route via Thyangboche to Kala Patthar.

Return is via Pangboche and Phortse villages, which lie high above the junction of the Dudh Koshi and Imja Khola rivers. Treks in this area can range from 7 to 45 days and are tougher than around Annapurna but no less spectacular.
