Taking the 25-minute flight to Lukla from Kathmandu is the most convenient route to the Everest base camp. Due to ongoing repairs and renovations, however, flights between Kathmandu and Lukla are now departing via Ramechhap Airport (Manthali Airport) instead of the original route. Jiri is also accessible through road, which can be taken to continue on to Lukla. Additionally, a helicopter service is available to transport you from Lukla to Kala Pathar. To get to the base camp, also known as Gorak Shep, from Lukla, you'll have to pass through Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Thyangboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche.
There are two base camps for Everest trekking, one in the North at Tibet and the other at South in Nepal. Everest Base Camp, in the Khumbu region of Nepal is the endpoint of this legendary trek for Everest.
While following the trek to the base camp you would pass the famous Sherpa village of Dingboche. It’s the home of Tenzing Norgay,the first person to climb Everest.
Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay had marked the south base camp of Everest in Nepal and stored their supplies at the mountain base and that is how the Everest Base Camp was born.
Every trekker aspiring to climb Mount Everest makes sure to stop at Tengboche Monastery, which has the largest Buddhist gompa in the valley to light candles and seek blessings. Overtime, it has become a very significant ritual without which a trekking event won’t even be started.
