Overview
Our Everest Aggressive Trek is a thrilling, tough, and amazing Himalayan trek taking you across the wonders of the Khumbu region. The Khumbu region is nestled on the laps of the Mahalangur section of the greater Himalayan range in the northeastern part of the country. The area falls under Sagarmatha National park, a UNESCO world heritage site. The park’s boundary on the northern side extends up to Tibet, on the east till Makalu Barun National park, and extends to Dudh Koshi river towards the south. Home to a wide range of biodiversity and microclimates. In this Everest Base Camp Aggressive Trek, you will be heading on a lifetime trek to experience the wonders of nature and cultures which have remained frozen in time.
Everest Base Camp Aggressive trek starts with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Passing through sub-tropical woodlands, you’ll reach Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital, offering various amenities. Continuing along a high path, you’ll glimpse Everest before reaching Tengboche village. Explore the ancient Tengboche Monastery here, nestled at 3867 meters amid stunning mountain scenery mountains.
After visiting Everest Base Camp, you’ll descend to Imja Khola, pass through Pangboche and Pheriche villages, and reach the Khumbu Glacier. Traversing moraines, you’ll arrive at Lobuche village. The following day, you’ll hike to Gorakshep and then to Everest Base Camp, where you can relish the mesmerizing Himalayan panorama. Next, you’ll ascend Kala Patthar, the highest point of the trek at 5545 meters. The climb isn’t technical, but altitude requires caution. From Kala Patthar, you’ll witness astounding views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Khumbu glacier, and more. Retracing your steps, you’ll journey back through settlements and wilderness to Lukla, concluding the trek in Kathmandu.
This Everest Base Camp Aggressive Trek is particularly strenuous as you will be covering a large distance and high altitude without acclimatization days. So, the trek is designed for those who have good physical fitness with some prior trekking experience but have a limited time frame. Be a part of this adventurous trek with the Alpine Club of Himalaya.
Best Seasons
The best season for trekking to the Everest region is during autumn and spring, the months of September, October, November, March, April, and May.
During the autumn season, the months of September, October, and November the weather is clear with warm temperatures and the visibility is great. As the weather is mild it is very easy to get around the region.
The spring season of March, April, and May are also the best time to visit the Everest region, marking the end of the winter, the spring season brings a change in the topography of the region and the destination comes to life with endless rows of different colored rhododendron, moss and orchid draped trees, colorful undergrowth stretching for miles and the snowy white mountains peaks on the backdrop of clear blue skies.
Monsoon season is not favorable for trekking as the weather gets harsh and it is hard to get around the country with frequent landslides and floods. So usually, monsoon season is avoided by trekkers.
In the winter season, the area receives a high amount of snowfall, covering most of the trail, and access is denied to most of the regions of Everest, making it impossible to trek.
Detail Itineraries
The flight to Nepal is amazing with views of endless mounting ranges. Once you arrive at Kathmandu International Airport, a representative from the Alpine Club of Himalaya will welcome you and assist you with your accommodation. The rest of the day is free to explore this historic and vibrant city. You can go for a guided tour of the city or stroll on your own. In the evening join for a welcome dinner and later join a briefing session regarding the trek.
