Everest Base Camp Trek offers the untamed beauty of Mount Everest. The highest mountain in the world and is surrounded by several other magnificent mountain peaks, Nuptse Shar and Lhotse its near neighbors, and then Ama Dablam ( Mother’s Necklace ), Thamserku Cholatse, and Tawoche border the Khumbu Valley. The Khumbu Valley which we explore in Everest Base Camp Trek is not only the land of soaring peaks but also a holy place for Buddhists and Hindus. Buddhists revere Khumbu Valley as the Beyul, the sacred land of hidden treasures whereas Hindu people worship it as the holy land of Kaushiki.

You will notice on the way to Everest Base Camp Trek that the local Sherpa people call this gigantic mountain “Quomolonga” Mother Goddess of the Universe, while the Nepalese people worship this towering mountain as “Kaushiki”, the Goddess of Mother Earth. Our experienced Himalayan storyteller guides, who will be leading this Everest Base Camp Trek will share their stories of the vibrant Buddhist and Hindu traditions and will make your  Trek a fascinating and educationally exciting experience that you will never forget.
