The Everest region is understandably one of the world’s most popular and spectacular hiking destinations. Our Everest Base Camp Anniversary Lodge Trek begins with a spectacular flight from Kathmandu to the 9,000-foot airstrip at the mountain village of Lukla. We then follow the traditional expedition route to the Sherpa capital of the Khumbu, the village of Namche Bazaar and onwards, alongside the raging Imja Khola River to the high valley below Mount Everest.
