Hiking to Everest Base Camp in Nepal - Trekking in the Himalayas

The hike to Everest Base Camp in Nepal is one of the most spectacular and iconic high-altitude treks in the Himalayas, passing through remote Sherpa villages, rustic tea houses and epic mountain landscapes, culminating at the foot of the world’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest.

Back in May, me and Amy were joined in Nepal by our friends Clare and Russ to take on this incredible multi-day trek. Led by our Sherpa guides, Gelu, Mingma and Pemba, we spent 12 days hiking 80 miles from the village of Lukla - home to 'the world's most dangerous airport' - up to Everest Base Camp at 5,364m above sea level, and back again.
