Trek through Sherpa villages and glacial valleys to stand at the foot of Mount Everest — a bucket-list journey for trekkers worldwide.
Starting with a dramatic flight to Lukla, this classic trek winds up the Khumbu Valley over roughly two weeks, with built-in days to acclimatise.
What to expect
Suspension bridges draped in prayer flags, nights in cosy teahouses, and ever-closer views of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam before reaching base camp at 5,364 m.
