Take a trip to Mount Everest on your Nepal Vacation

Mount Everest, located on the border between Nepal and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, stands at an elevation of 29,032 ft (8,848 m), making it the highest mountain in the world. The Mount Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal is one of the world's best bucket list hikes. You can also enjoy shorter and less challenging treks to Mount Everest, especially if you're travelling with family and have limited time.

On this once-in-a-lifetime trek, you will enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Everest and other majestic peaks. A local Sherpa guide will accompany you, providing cultural insights and ensuring your safety. Arrive by flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, and embark on your trek, making your way to Namche Bazaar, where you can pick up affordable souvenirs. Continuing on your trail will bring you to Khumjung Valley at the foot of Mount Khumbiyale. The village of Kunde lies in this beautiful valley, where you can gaze at the stunning mountains.  You will have time to acclimatize to the high-altitude climb. It's a good idea to train ahead of the trek and be physically fit and mentally prepared for it.
