Everest Base Camp Trek Nepal — 14 Days/13 Nights
- Nepal
- 14 Days/13 Nights
Everest Base Camp, Gokyo Lakes, and the Cho La Pass — in one trek
This 14-day trek follows the standard Everest Base Camp route — Lukla, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Dingboche — with two acclimatization hikes built in before the final push to Base Camp (5,364m) and a sunrise viewpoint at Kala Patthar (5,550m). It’s the most-walked route in the Khumbu for a reason: well-established teahouses, a manageable pace, and some of the best mountain views in the world.
