trip Overview

 Phaplu To Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most popular trekking in the Everest region of Nepal. This trek provides an opportunity to explore the culture and tradition of the Sherpa people alongside amazing landscapes and views of a snow-capped mountain. Trekkers can also explore the 300 years old articles and scriptures that are preserved by the Sherpa people for their upcoming generation.

Phaplu To Everest Base Camp Trek begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Phaplu. This trek brings overwhelming views of the Everest Himalayan range and the panorama hill view of the Khumbu region. During the trek, you can experience the views of five of the world’s highest mountains: Mt. Everest (8,848m), Mt, Makalu (8,463m), Mt, Cho Oyo (8153m), Mt. Lhotse (8,501m), and Mt. Lhotse Shar (8,393m). Aside from the beauty of the Himalayas, this area includes natural wonders listed by UNESCO. Rich pine and rhododendron forest, endangered species of birds and animals like leopards, Black bears, blue sheep, Red Pandas, etc, this trek is really unique and unforgettable. This trek passes through the hill and trekking trail and this trek is especially for people who are fond of historical sights and scared of the flight in the mountain area.
