Classic Everest Base Camp Trekking is an adventure trekking package that allows you to traverse the trekking trail that used to be a regular trekking trail prior to 1964. After the construction of Lukla airport, the trekkers started flying to Lukla and begin the trek that is almost a week shorter than the original one.

This trek brings you closer to the cultural and natural marvels that those Everest trekkers prior to Lukla airport construction only could experience. Adventurous trails, serene natural atmosphere, majestic mountain views, local ethnic cultures and many other wonders keep the stretch immensely interesting and great experiential route before meeting the route from Lukla. You will be already well acclimatized to go higher to the base camp as, on the classic stretch, you gain and lose a vast range of elevation. Crossing Lamjura pass at the elevation of 3,600 meters above sea level is the highest point you reach before meeting the now regular EBC trekking trail.

Once you meet the regular base camp trail after a week of classic route trekking experience, you go deeper and higher into the Sagarmatha National park and enjoy the charm and vibrations from the mighty mountains, including Mt. Everest. It is a special exploration of the Everest region that very few adventurous people do these days. Although it feels longer than the regular Everest base camp trek, it well worth taking the challenge.
