Trek to Everest Base Camp is certainly among the most legendary trek in the world. Everest Base Camp trek takes you into the heart of the Himalayas with breathtaking views of many of the world's most beautiful mountains and leaves you awestruck. Trekking to the famous Everest Base Camp, without a doubt, is the most famous trekking route in the world, which brings many travelers to Nepal and is a once in a lifetime opportunity to glimpse at some of the most breathtaking unimaginable sceneries along the Himalaya. This trek gives a closer insight into the lives and culture of the Sherpa people.

To ascent this trail is steady and requires some time for acclimatization comparing to trekking in other regions. This trek is for those wishing to push themselves to the limit and who are generally fit and used to walking on hills. Although this has generally well-graded paths, it is a tough challenge especially along the Khumbu glacier and not to be taken carelessly. If you have ever longed to set eyes on the highest mountain in the world, standing at a height of nearly 18,500ft (5,545 meters), then the view from Everest base camp (EBC) will be unforgettable. Sunrise on the snow capped peaks above the Khumbu Glacier is also an unforgettable sight from the summit of Kala Patthar. Ever since the early days of climbing expeditions, the 8,848m mountain has had a lure of its own; very few people return from this trek unmoved by the experience of this trek.

We went on EBC trek in July from Mosaic Adventure Trek with Gokul who was our trekking guide. He was excellent, helpful and spoke Spanish fluently. Mosaic provided us with very good service. I would recommend Mosaic Adventure Trek & Expedition and Gokul to all trekkers.

A great trip with some lovely views, an interesting guide and good accomodations+food. Unfortunately we didn't get the best view of Mt. Everest but afterall it was the monsoon. However, we did get a fantastic view on the waydown.

A highly recommended organization and a friendly team of people.

The adventure I had was both amazing and challenging. I rushed my body to the limits and also had my eyes opened to the most beautiful sights. I made life long friends with other trekkers and shared moments of sickness, happiness and achievement, all with the trust, companishment and joy of my excellent guide Pralhad who I will never forget.
