1. Everest Base Camp Trek
Undoubtedly, Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek leading to the base of the world’s tallest peak, Everest, is one of the best treks in Nepal. This exceptional trekking journey encompasses diverse landscapes, magical mountain views, a vibrant Sherpa culture, and glimpses into the secluded mountain way of life, among other highlights.
The Mount Everest base camp trek begins and ends in Lukla. The journey commences along the Dudh Kosi Rivers’s bank and goes through the Sagarmatha National Park. The trek route offers the scenic views of towering peaks including Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Taboche, Nuptse, Lhotse, Pumori, Thamserku etc.
While trekking through the majestic Khumbu valley, trekkers get to experience rich Sherpa culture and traditions. The trail winds through charming Sherpal settlements, with the famous Namche Bazaar being a notable highlight. The Sherpas, renowned for their mountaineering skills, also showcases warm hospitality, authentic traditions, and a unique way of life.
How to get there?
Everest Base Camp trek starts from Lukla village. From Kathmandu, it will take around 40 to 45 minutes of flight to reach Lukla. Kathmandu to Lukla flight is one of the quickest and easiest ways to reach the trailhead of EBC trek. If you hate walking then you can take a Mount Everest helicopter tour.
2. Annapurna Circuit Trek
The Annapurna circuit is widely regarded by many trekkers as the best long distance trek in the world as it involves diverse landscapes and climate zones. The trek spans from the tropics at 600 meters to the arctic at 5,416 meters, providing a unique and varied experience.
A notable feature of this circuit trek is the crossing of Thorong La Pass, one of the world’s highest mountain passes at an altitude of 5,400 meters. The pass’s summit bestowed trekkers with the mesmerizing views of the valleys, mountains, and rocky slopes of Annapurna massif.
Beyond the natural beauty, the Annapurna circuit trek allows trekkers to immerse themselves in diverse culture from Hindu at the low foothills to the Tibetan culture of Manang and Mustang region. Notably, Mustang region has been recognized by famous American newspaper “The New York Times” as must-visit destinations around the world in 2024.
How to get there?
The starting point of Annapurna circuit is Besisahar which can be reached after a seven to eight hour drive from Kathmandu. Alternatively, you can fly or drive to Pokhara from Kathmandu. From Pokhara, a local bus or a private jeep can take you to Besisahar in approximately 2 hours.
