Trekking to the Everest Base Camp is one of the popular treks in the Everest region. This trek has a number of stunning attractions, one of the foremost being the satisfaction gained by reaching the base of the highest mountain in the world - Mt. Everest. Other attractions include the spectacular scenery of the Himalayan giants including five of the world’s ten highest peaks, interesting Sherpa culture and their fascinating Buddhist religion. Above the treeline the scenery is stark but spectacular. The incredible monastery at Thyangboche is wonderfully set against the backdrop of Ama Dablam, Everest and other snow-capped peaks.

Mt Everest rises above them all. Known as "Chomolungma" (Lady Goddess of the Wind) by the Nepalese, the mountain was initially called Peak XV.
