India

In the Classic Everest Base Camp trek, you will be following the footsteps of great mountaineers like Reinhold Messner, Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay. As you climb through the foothills of the world’s highest mountain, the terrain soars on all sides like jagged shards of glass. The trails are steep and the altitude hangs on your belt, but the sense of achievement at the end of the trek is quite profound. However, this is not a mountaineering expedition or a wilderness survival experience. There are trekking lodges every few hundred meters along the trails and tens of thousands of trekkers storm the trails every year. Because of the risk of AMS, it takes minimum of two weeks to climb to Everest Base Camp or Kala Pattar and return to Lukla. In this expedition you will be visiting the famous Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO world heritage site. The getaway to the Classic Everest Trek is Lukla, which can be reached from Kathmandu by flight. – See more at: http://localhost/gandakitours/india/#sthash.pNQL45ky.dpuf
