Everest Base Camp Trek
A trek which
takes you into the heart of the mountains and the culture of the
Everest region to the foot of the great peak itself. Commencing
in Lukla (Airstrip for Everest) you trek up to the Sherpa
capital of Namche Bazar). A day is spent here for
acclimatization and just soaking up the atmosphere of this
bustling village before heading on up through Tenboche (Visiting
the great monastery) Pheriche, Lobuche village and finally to
your highest camp at Gorak Shep. This is the jumping off point
for the climb up to Kala Pattar (5545m) for spectacular views of
Mt. Everest, and the walk in to Everest Base Camp. This really
is breathtaking mountain scenery and is well worth the effort of
getting there. It is a relatively short trek which will have you
standing literally at the foot of the world's greatest peak. |

sailboats can be rented on reasonable cost around
lakeside. The lake is neither deep (roughly 47 meters at
most) nor particularly clean, but the water is warm and
swimming is pleasant if you don't think about the
probable pollution. The eastern shoreline of the lake,
popularly known as Lakeside or Baidam, consists of
seemingly endless strip of lodges, restaurants,
bookshops and souvenir shops. One of the fascinating
parts of lakeside is the splendid view of the mountains,
especially when the still water reflects the peaks,
creating a double image.
