The Exiting Scenic Flight To Lukla - Adventurous Highlight 

The Everest Base Camp Trip begins with a scenic flight to Lukla from Kathmandu, the trek's first and most adventurous highlight. Flying to Lukla is not only the way to the Everest Base Camp but a short and easy route. It is also the most demanded way. Flying to Luka is a little adventure itself. The Lukla Airport stands on top of a cliff and drops off at the end of the runway. This airport is also known as Tenzing-Hillary airport, which is considered one of the shortest runways in the world. It stays in the mind of those who have done it once, but the flight offers a scenic view of the long Himalayan range.

Unreal View of Mountains, Including Everest 

The main aim of many trekkers is to see the world's highest mountain, Everest, and its range, so the Mountains from the Everest Himalayas are the Prime Highlights of the Trek. Passing the Namche Bazar, The View of the mountain, every moment is unreal. Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Amadablam, Thamserku, and many other big mountains seem like the makeup of nature. 

Namche Bazar - Most Beautiful Sherpa Town

Namche Bazar is another attraction of this trek. Like a small mountain city, it is a beautiful town with different shops, bakeries, coffee shops, bars, and much more. Branded mountain equipment shops are available in this town. The view of mountain peaks like Kongde, Thamserku, Kusum Kangaroo, and Everest from the national park's headquarters is fantastic, where is the place to stop for an acclimatization day for the trekkers before heading to the higher elevation and doing a small day hike. A local weekly shopping market is like a Namche Bazar festival every Friday to Saturday at noon.

The Sherpa Culture and Lifestyle

The Everest Region is a Sherpa land. Sherpas are the local inhabitants of this area and are enormously famous mountain climbers. This region's legendary mountain Sherpa Culture is the primary innovation matter for visitors worldwide. The Base Camp Trek has a perfect opportunity to enjoy the Sherpa culture, religion, festivals, lifestyle, daily activities, and traditional settlements with their warm hospitality.

Tengboche Monastery

The Everest Trek is not only an adventurous journey but also a spiritual one. At the same time, the walk to the Base Camp can be seen in many Monasteries, Stupas, Mani walls, Mani stones, and other Buddhist monuments decorated with colorful prayer flags. The Tengboche Monastery may be the most famous and faithful among these monuments—this more than 100-year-old beautiful Monastery is situated on the hill station of the Tengboche village. Trekkers mostly visit here for blessings from the monks of this Monastery. Tengboche is also the central point to see the scenic Everest Himalayas, including Everest, Amadablam, Lhotse, Thamserku, Khangteka, Nuptse, and more. This village is surrounded by pine and rhododendron forests. Himalayan Thar, musk deer, Red panda, and flying Himalayan eagles make it more worthy of being in this place.
