Trip Overview
The Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek by Road is an alternative to the traditional trek that involves a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Instead of flying, this option involves traveling by road to a lower starting point before trekking towards Everest Base Camp (5364m).
Why Choose EBC Trek by Road?
- Avoids Lukla flight cancellations due to weather.
- More affordable than flying.
- Provides gradual acclimatization by starting at a lower altitude.
- Unique experience of trekking through off-the-beaten-path routes.
