Everest Base Camp Location and History

There are two Base Camps, the endpoints of hiking or trekking Everest. North Base Camp and South Base Camp. Southern Base Camp lies in Nepal, which is the ending point of the most famous trek. Everest Base Camp Trek is dedicated to Sherpa culture and traditions, so you need to respect Sherpa traditions and culture while you trek to Everest base camp or any other trekking in the Everest Region. The Northern Base camp lies in China on the Nepal Himalayas and can be accessed via a roadway. But reaching the Nepalese side requires you to trek for days. Nepal's side Everest Base Camp is much more popular with trekkers. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa used the South Everest Base Camp to keep their gear.

The point was chosen as it was easily accessible to non-mountaineers. Everest Base Camp was born when the mountain was looking for a place to store supplies at the base of the Mountain. Nowadays, the same point where the first Mount Everest climbers kept their gear is an endpoint of the Everest Base Camp.

For a maximum of 4-8 people, it is great for EBC Trek and Everest Luxury Trek, or any other Trekking will only be with local transportation from the airport to the airport in Kathmandu and Ramechap before and after the trek.

Best Guide and Trekking company

My Name is Basset Howard from Civic center, Paris St, EX11sn Exeter Devon UK, Dhruba Bhatta is the Best guide in Nepal, my first visit was in December 2005, When he was employed by some trekking agency in Nepal and he acted as my guide on a short Everest Base Camp kalapathar Trek as far as Namche Bazaar called Everest panoramic view trek then I returned again in December 2006 to undertake the full trek to Everest Base Camp Kalapathar and My third visit to Nepal was in April 2011 and I had been Annapurna Circuit Trekking remarked how I was to have a guide so personable, knowledgeable and dedicated to me and my experience. I could not have agreed with them more and having never trekked this length before, I was a novice. It is without doubt, that if my guide had been anyone other than Dhruba, I would not have had nearly the rich, authentic, and thoroughly enjoyable experience I did on Trekking. With Dhruba I enjoyed like those points: Dhruba is sensitive and sensibility to allow a good balance between conversation and respecting an individual or couple's need for privacy, over 14 years of Trekking guide experience. In an intimate knowledge of the best accommodations, Tea stops, and places of interest along the way, according to your own individual budget. Truthful, genuine discussions, well-informed regarding anything from Nepal’s history and current politics, local religions and culture history geography natural landscape, and all Mountain names and heights. Respect for an individual’s desired pace and physical condition.

Namaste!! I First Met Dhruba Bhatta (DB) in 2018 during my first trip to Nepal. Dhruba and Ajeeb are brothers and they had opened a family business, there was no doubt that Adventure a One trek was the company to use for our Everest Base Camp trek. I talked with Dhruba for customize the itinerary for our specific dates and slightly increased the level of comfort luxury Everest trek due to the cold. he did all well organized and had the best guide Shailendra Adhikari, he is such a Knowledgeable, Talent, Helpful, and best smiley person. I like to highly recommend Shailendra Adhikari as a guide and Adventure a One Trek for joining any adventure activity in Nepal. Robert Brigs California United States
