The Mount Everest Base Camp has beckoned thousands of
trekkers and adventure fans to unveil the mystery of the Himalayan peaks. For
decades, miles have walked and followed their predecessors to receive a glimpse
of the scenic view of these mysterious mountain ranges and discover what makes
them so royal. The answer lies in the journey itself; for those rediscovered
themselves in a whole new way and who have embarked on this quest have
experienced their moments of truth. Many say their souls have untaken a transformation
that has taken them outside the material world and introduced them into a world
filled with experience. Even though the South Base Camp lies at an altitude of
5,363 metres in Nepal, the North Base Camp is in Tibet at an altitude of 5,150
metres. Mountain bikers and trekkers have used these camps before ascending
further up Mount Everest or while coming after an Everest trek. 'Sherpas'
(local guides for Mount EverestExpedition and Treks) and porters transport supplies to those camps for
trekkers. Where trekkers cease to get accustomed with the high altitude and
mountain weather, these base camps serve as a point. At times, these remains
may be extended to a number of days depending on what the weather conditions
are like and how long you take to adjust to elevation.
The trek to the South Base Camp is extremely popular and is
thus frequented by thousands trekkers every year. The point of the trek is
Lukla that can be attained from Kathmandu via flight. From Lukla you begin
you’re upwards journey crossing the valley of the Dudh Kosi River, diverse
landscapes, Namche Bazaar, and other villages. In between, there are stops that
allow you find a taste of Nepalese culture while gently acclimatizing to the
altitudes that are rising and to devote some time one of the regional villages.
You work your way to Everest Base Camp destination crossing beyond Dingboche,
Gorakshep, Kala Patthar, and Mount Pumori.
Trekking into the North Base Camp requires permit from the
Chinese authorities. You can use just a small knowhow; organize the permit if
traveling by yourself. Along with the permit, you can even arrange for tour
guides, tour packages, driver, and vehicles. It's important however, do to your
homework as you don't wish to detect the pitfalls of hiring a car that's been
badly preserved (and breaks) while you’re in the midst of now where. While a
tourist base camp is that places half way about the Rongbuk Monastery, the base
camp is situated at the foot of the Rongbuk glacier. This camp has been
utilized since Edmund Hilary days, by mountain climbers before ascending the
leg up the mighty Mount Everest, as a stop.

most sought after trekking destinations of the world, then a trek into the
Mount Everest Base Camp is certainly the holy grail of experience trekking.
Along with some jaw dropping mountain panorama which will transfer an ethereal
world, you'll also understand how it feels to achieve something which others
may only dream about! You will be full of a sense of pride and accomplishment
which makes it hard to match anywhere else. Travelers across the globe have

mountain fantasies you may discover.
