About Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek

The Everest base camp luxury trek is an adventure trip visiting the base camp of the world’s highest mountain. This trek offers a luxury lodge stay from starting to the end. Normally, the Everest base camp trek is the 12-day itinerary for most trekkers. But this luxury Everest base camp trek has 14 days itinerary.

Everest base camp luxury trek is highly recommended to those people who prefer to stay in luxury lodges with luxury facilities along the trek. If you have limited time and would like to do a luxury Everest base camp trek, it is also possible returning with a helicopter after visiting the base camp direct to Kathmandu.
