Everest Base Camp Trek

Trip Reports

Not all Everest base camp treks are the same! Our 20-day itinerary provides what we believe is the optimum acclimatisation profile, balanced with a realisitic time scale from Kathmandu to base camp itself.

All of our Everest Base Camp Treks stay in Teahouses and are led by experienced Jagged Globe western leaders, supported by a Nepalese Guide. By staying in Teahouses and having the insight of a local guide, our teams are immersed in the Sherpa culture, whilst your Jagged Globe leader ensures that everyone in the group is well looked after.

Trekkers visiting base camp in the Spring are also likely to meet members of the Jagged Globe climbing team, assuming that they are resting in base camp, rather than doing battle with the mountain itself!

For a realistic chance to get all the way to base camp, nestled beneath the tumbling Khumbu Icefall, look no further than Jagged Globe's Everest Base Camp Trek.
