Everest Base Camp Trek Nepal - 19 days |
|
"Sherpa villages, home of the world's highest Buddhist monasteries and the highest peaks on Earth". The Everest Base Camp Trek is probably the most famous in the world - and deservedly so. It's taken millions of years and unimaginably powerful forces to create this mountain range; the Himalayas is literally what happens when continents collide. It's even so vast that it's changed our global climate system - and nowhere is it more spectacular than the Everest region.
Our 16 day Everest Base Camp Trek goes right into the heart of the Himalaya; taking in the famous trading town of Namche Bazaar, the world's highest Buddhist monastery and Everest Base Camp itself, where Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay set off on their epic journey in 1953. But best of all you get to see Everest itself; to see the earth's greatest accomplishment and witness its power and grace first-hand.

| Health and altitude |
Bring a supply of headache tablets (Aspirin) and Imodium if you can. The most common causes of complaint are headaches (caused by a combination of the altitude and dehydration) and upset stomachs which, if left untreated, can develop.
The best way to beat altitude sickness is with a good easy pace and plenty of proper acclimatisation. There is no need to worry that we are going too fast. The pace has been tried and tested many times. Having said that, it is not uncommon to suffer mild altitude-related complaints such as headaches and loss of sleep. These are the first signs of altitude sickness but can be easily dealt with by going slowly, resting and drinking plenty of liquid. |
