The hike to Everest Base Camp is exactly as iconic as you’d expect.

Leading to a height of over 5,000m (17,600ft), it covers terrain ranging from pine forests and river valleys to rocky trails and icy glaciers. It will challenge you. It will change you. And it’s a trek you will never forget.

You can hike it on Intrepid Travel’s 15-day Everest Base Camp trip, 15-day Real Everest Base Camp trip (just for 18-29-year-olds), and on the 19-day Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes trip.
