This 20-day Everest Base Camp trek has everything:
the incredible mountain views from Chukung,
Kala Pattar and Gokyo Ri. Popularly known
as "The Ultimate Trek," it includes all
that the Khumbu has to offer including the
fascinating villages and Tibetan Buddhist
monasteries and the culture and hospitality
of the Sherpa people, who will surely win
your hearts. After starting with a flight
to Lukla (2,805m/9,200ft) we trek up to
Kala Pattar view point (5,550m/18,200ft)

camp set under the awesome Khumbu Icefall.
Then we veer off the main trail to cross
the Cho La pass (5,422m/17,783ft) into the
Gokyo Valley. To top off this unique trek
we climb Gokyo Ri (5,488m/18,000ft) for
a panoramic view of the greatest mountain
scenery in the world - including five 8000+m/26,000+ft
giants and myriad other peaks of the Khumbu
Himal.
