The Everest Classic Trek is an adventurous journey that takes trekkers through the heart of the Himalayas, offering a unique opportunity to experience the rich Sherpa culture, pristine landscapes, and unparalleled views of the world’s highest peak—Mount Everest (8,848 m). This trek follows the historic route taken by legendary mountaineers before the establishment of the Lukla airport, making it one of the most authentic Himalayan trekking experiences.
Starting from Jiri, this trek offers breathtaking scenery, diverse landscapes, and cultural encounters, culminating at Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) and the famous Kala Patthar (5,545 m). The return journey includes a scenic flight from Lukla to Kathmandu. The entire trek requires about three weeks, allowing for acclimatization and exploration of the mesmerizing Khumbu region.
