The Himalayas attract lots of people every year. Some of them want to get to the pinnacle of Mount Everest to prove themselves they can beat the difficulties that high altitude and the lack of oxygen cause, but there are also many who just want to admire stunning views of lower parts of the mountains surrounding such peaks as Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori and Ama Dablan. When the weather is good all the summits can be admired as well as the nature which shows its rich biodiversity. A lot of tourists are fond of the history and culture of the country which also embraces religion.

Those who do not feel like climbing the highest mountain in the world or are not fit enough usually decide on one of the treks such as Everest Base Camp trek which is not very demanding but also not easy. Such treks are offered by many companies from which Asian Trekking distinguishes considerably. Our company has a lot of experience as it was established in 1982 and since then has organized numerous treks, trips and expeditions. It was established by Ang Tshering Sherpa one of the first graduates of the school that had been founded by the first person to set foot on Mount Everest summit – Edmund Hilary. Having decided to take advantage of education he had been able to get and do something for the local community he comes from Ang Tshering Sherpa founded the company. Nowadays Asian Trekking is known all over the world for providing mountaineers with its outstanding legal, administrative, logistical, guiding and support services. It also takes responsibility for the health of climbers and tourists coming to Nepal.

There are a lot of foreign companies that offer similar services to Everest Base camp trekking, however, none of them is able to work independently but through one of Nepalese companies that is certified by the Government of Nepal. Deciding on heading up right into the mountains with us tourists save a lot of money as they do not have to pay for intermediaries.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp is for many a lifetime experience and is not a very difficult task although the camp is located on the altitude of 5 550 metres over the sea level. The way leads through the most spectacular Himalayan terrains. Tourists are accompanied by Sherpa guides who know the region really well as they live there all their lives. To reach Everest Base Camp means trekking past traditional Sherpa villages and hidden among mountains monasteries called “Gompas”. Locals always welcome guests friendlily and eagerly show them what their daily, timeless lives look like. Those who took part in such a trek will never forget the experience and the most exciting views on the mountains as well as picturesque pine and birch forests. They are beautiful all year round but their exceptional beauty can be admired in autumn when the air is so clear that everything looks very sharp like in a picture.
