With Everest Base Camp journey, one experiences the ever wonderful diversity of people’s lives at the Himalayas, along with an endearing peregrination filled with marvelous sights of the cultures and customs of the people who reside there. Along the journey, we would be coming across our World Heritage Site, Sagarmatha National Park, prominent for its sacred Himalayan landscapes, sheathed with gorges and rivulets, and excurse the magnificent monasteries that dot the area, along with beautiful rhododendron trees and tundra vegetation, after which we would be reaching our destination of the world’s tallest mountain, Everest. Other destinations of Everest Base Camp Trek include the Gateway to Everest- Namche Bazaar, with its array of myriad people, custom and culture, plus it’s an added advantage that this place is a popular town in the Khumbu region simply bursting with shops and hotels; and a hike to Everest view Hotel, named as such because you get a view of the mountains of the Everest region from here.
