This historic route was taken by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953 and winds through Sherpa villages, rhododendron and fir forests, across soaring suspension bridges. After passing through high mountain pastures and rugged glacial terrain we eventually reach Everest Base Camp, located on the Khumbu Glacier. We will also climb Kala Pattar (18,200’), from which Base Camp and the Khumbu Ice falls are visible far below.
