A trek to Everest Base Camp is a challenging and at times tough trekking experience, but once completed that will remain with you forever. There are many ways to see Everest, and many people choose the hour-long mountain flight. However, nothing can beat the real thing. The mountains are spectacular and so are the people, the EBC trek also provides the opportunity to witness the unique and colorful Sherpa people weathered and shaped by this harsh mountain environment, it is impossible not to soak up and be impressed with their rich cultural heritage and lifestyle. We visit the 500-year-old Thyangboche Monastery on an almost surreal route surrounded by mountains in the pristine wilderness of Sagarmatha National Park.
