Everest exerts a pull like no other mountain, and trekking to the base of Everest through the majesty of the high Himalaya delivers physical, and mental reward like no other trek on Earth.

This is a trek of superlatives!

Arrive in Kathmandu and let the sights, smells and sounds of this vibrant city overwhelm you. Discover the secrets of the city on a full day tour.
