Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

Everest Base Camp Trek is most commonly visited as a two weeks trek starting and finishing at Lukla, an airstrip at the south of the region considered as the gateway to Everest. The trek begins from Lukla followed by a gentle two day trek up the Dudh Koshi valley to Namche Bazar. Phakding and Monjo are the popular stopover for the first day. Just beyond Monjo trekkers enter the Sagarmatha National Park at Jorsale check point. This is the place where the permit is checked. The trail that has been following Dudh Koshi River starts the uphill from the suspension bridge few minutes from Jorsale. One can reach Namche in 3 hours from this point.

Moving from Namche Bazar the trail follows the valley of the Imja Khola overlooking the spectacular Thamserku, Kangterga and Ama Dablam mountains, dominating the skyline ahead, Lhotse and Mount Everest. The most common night stop after Namche is at the top of a steep climb from the Imja Khola at Thyangboche. This is place where one of the most famous Buddhist monasteries is situated. The tours of the monastery are conducted every afternoon. Following the Imja Khola from Thyangboche the trail ascends through Pangboche reaching the next day’s stopover either at Pheriche or Dingboche. Here another acclimatization day should be taken with a fascinating trip to Chhukung about three hours walk from Dingboche.

From Dingboche or Pheriche it takes another six hours to reach Lobuche situated on the lateral moraine of the Khumbu glacier. About three hours from Lobuche is the last settlement on the trail known as Gorak Shep. The few tea houses at this place provide shelter for the night before undertaking the final leg of the glacier to Everest Base Camp. Above Gorak Shep rises the well known landmark of Kalapattar, where the trekkers may be enthralled with the spectacular view of the top of the world.
