Everest Base Camp Trek Are you a nature person? Do you like trekking? If so take your trekking experience to next level in Nepal. The Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most adventurous and thrilling trek routes you will ever come upon in your lifetime. The final destination of your trek is the very Everest Base Camp at the height of 5364 meters above sea level. If you are wondering how you will be able to climb such height then do not worry all you need is regular cardio exercises. Other physical activities like swimming, running, jogging can turn out to be of great help on the strenuous way. The key to your dream trek is willpower and a bit of investment (say 2000$). Any trekker who has done this route will ask you to put it on your bucket list. No doubt about that. There is no trek that could beat the Everest Base Camp Trek. You will first fly to Lukla from Kathmandu which is at the height of 2860 meters. One of the highest altitude airports in the world. Then, you will have to ascend 2504 meters by foot to reach your destination. It’s not just some dry path you will be climbing. You will pass through few amazing Sherpa villages full of rich, unique and beautiful cultures and monasteries. Your trek starts from Lukla full of Sherpa settlements. Not to forget Sagarmatha National Park will be a sight to remember on the way. On climbing 3440 meters you will reach the famous Namche Bazar. The place where Himalayan people did and still do their trades and kind of expensive market. The guides with you will help you all the way and ensure your security and wellbeing until the very end of your trek. At 3860 meters you will reach Tengboche village which is very famous for its Tengboche monastery built in 1923. Your every climb step will be rewarded with mesmerizing view of clear blue sky, ranges of snow caped mountains that will cleanse your heart and free your soul. Three of the tallest mountains (Choyu, Lhotse and Makalu) of the world will welcome you as you climb up. The trail is challenging but full of beauty. As you pass by Dingboche and Lubuche your eyes will rest upon the mountains like Amadablam(6856 m), Island Peak(6189 m), Nuptse(7861 m) and many more. The more you climb the hard will be your journey but as I said in the beginning willpower is the key. You need not worry as several teahouses on the trail will take care of your accommodation at their best. At the height of 5140 meters, Gorak Shep will be your final sight of human settlement. Now you are very close to your destination, only about 225 meters will be left to climb. Once you reach the Everest Base Camp it’s a different story, different world, different feelings, thoughts and everything. A Picasso cannot compete with the beauty your eyes feast upon. When you are up and above the clouds you will witness the divinity of nature and forget every tiring step that put you up there. Your body will no more feel pain, your heart will fill with joy and you may burst in tears of happiness while your soul dances in excitement because you will become one with the nature. Your time and effort will not fly in vain. The hardship will get rewarded beyond your expectations. These little words, couple of praises cannot describe the reality of you being up there. You never know when you are going to die and who knows what is beyond death? If you want to feel what a heaven might feel like then you definitely should pack your bags and fly to Nepal. https://www.yogisadventures.com/tour/everest-base-camp-trek/35
