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.
