Tough the Everest Base Camp Trek is focused around Mt. Everest, but its not just about it. Its about so many other unique experiences you go through on the trek as well !!
Walking on the legendary footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa to the base camp of the highest mountain in the World - Mount Everest 8850 meters is an experience in itself. To live the true spirits on that specific line, you can rather start this trek from Jiri, and not Lukla, as when they had trekked to the Everest Base Camp, there were no airports by the name of Tenzng Hillary Airport in Lukla. Few hardcore trekkers still do this trek from Jiri and return via Jiri. However, currently the Government in Nepal is on plan to connect Lukla easily by road from Jiri and onwards. The road-head now gets closer and can be driven till Salleri. Once thats complete, we can definitely get off with the Lukla Flight Inconsistencies Problem

Summit of Kalapatthar 5550 meters - On this trek we also summit the famous and strategic Kalapatthar. The truth is, Mt. Everest is not clearly viewed from the Everest Base Camp and is blocked.
