EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK (FAST-PACED)
Our Everest Base Camp (Fast-Paced) Trek is similar to the Everest Base Camp Trek – just faster paced. You will complete the trek in 15 days rather than 19 days as on our standard Everest Base Camp Trek. The ascent is similar minus one day at Pangboche and one day at Dughla. The descent back to Lukla is in three days rather than four days.
Khumbu is the home of Mount Everest (8,850m) – better known as Sagarmatha among Nepalis and Chomolongma by the Tibetan-speaking communities. Himalayan peaks such as Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Everest, Cho-Oyu, Pumori, Tarboche and Cholatse dominate the skyline on this trek. The picturesque Sherpa villages and sacred Buddhist monasteries are other aspects that define this magical and inspiring landscape.
All our fast-paced Everest Base Camp Trek are private trips for two or more trekkers for a date of your choosing.
THE TREK
Hike through villages of the famous Sherpa people and be rewarded with spectacular views of snow-capped mountains that rise above the clouds. Amadablam looms over the skyline as you trek from Tengboche to Dingboche. From Gorakshep at 17,100 feet, your highest camp, hike to the Everest Base Camp. From here, every year hundreds of climbers attempt to reach the summit of the tallest peak in the world. Also climb Kalapathar (18,195 ft) for an up-close view of the south face of Everest.
If you prefer more time to acclimatize, check out our 19-day Everest Base Camp Trek. If you have more time and wish to be more adventurous, check out the Ultimate Everest Trek. This involves crossing the Cho La pass (Everest Base Camp to Gokyo lake) and the Renjo La pass (from Gokyo lake to Thame). An even more physically challenging trek is the Everest Three Passes Trek. This trek involves crossing the Kongma La pass (Chukkung to Lobuche) besides the Cho La pass and the Renjo La pass. No climbing skills are required for these treks. We are also happy to customize the trek for you.
