Stand at 17,598 feet facing the world's tallest mountain, where the summit pyramid looms impossibly high above the Khumbu Icefall. The 12-day trek through Sherpa villages tests your limits with altitude and weather, but seeing climbers' tents scattered across the glacier while prayer flags flutter in the thin air is absolutely life-changing.

“As we were approaching the base camp, we some the West ridge and the North East Ridge of Mt. Everest in full view. The day couldn’t be more perfect, not a single cloud in the sky. Our eyes were glued to this massive mountain, chills ran down my spine! We all knew it’s a big mountain and most had seen it several times from the distance, but we couldn’t believe it was that huge!”
“I saw Everest from Base Camp, but it was just the very top of it. I was very lucky with weather the entire trip and saw EVERYTHING. there was no clouds. Otherwise, it's quite unusual to see Everest from base camp as it's typically cloudy there.”
