Your adventure begins in Kathmandu, the vibrant capital city of Nepal. The city is a treasure trove of historical and cultural landmarks. Visit the Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple, where the eyes of Buddha watch over the Kathmandu Valley.

For the adventure seekers, a trek to the World Peace Pagoda or paragliding over the mountains offers an adrenaline rush and breathtaking views.
Day 4-6: Chitwan National Park - Wildlife Extravaganza
Next, venture into the dense jungles of Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Don’t Miss an Opportunity to Visit Everest Base Camp
Don't miss the opportunity to experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar. Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, these iconic destinations offer a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for trekkers and nature enthusiasts alike.
The Everest Base Camp Trek is renowned for its stunning landscapes, rugged trails, and breathtaking views. As you make your way through picturesque villages, dense forests, and towering mountains, you'll be captivated by the raw beauty that surrounds you. And reaching Everest Base Camp itself is an achievement that few can boast of.
It is a 12-day adventure round trip from Kathmandu to Kathmandu, but you can also complete this in 9 days. For the shorter trip, you must fly out from Gorak Shep on a helicopter, which is the Helicopter Return Everest Base Camp Trek.
But if trekking isn't your cup of tea or if you're short on time, fear not! The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour is a thrilling alternative that allows you to soar above the majestic peaks and land at Everest Base Camp itself. From up above, you'll witness panoramic vistas that will leave you speechless.
Whether you choose to trek or take a helicopter tour, visiting Kala Patthar is an absolute must. Situated at an elevation of 5,545 meters (18,192 feet), this vantage point offers unparalleled views of Mount Everest and its neighbouring peaks. As the sun rises over these mighty giants, painting the sky with vibrant hues of orange and pink, you'll feel a sense of pure awe and wonder.
So don't miss out on this extraordinary adventure to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar. Whether it's immersing yourself in the rugged beauty of the trek or soaring high above in a helicopter, this experience promises to be one that will stay with you forever.
Looking for more Adventure than Everest Base Camp?
If you want to make it more adventurous and have extra 2-3 more days with the Everest Base Camp Itinerary, you can go to Cho La Pass to visit the Gokyo Lakes and Gokyo Ri at the same time. The Cho La Pass (5360m) connects these two different trekking routes Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Treks.
For this Adventure trip, you trek to Zongla after the Base Camp and Kala Patthar and cross a big hill to go to the other side. Gokyo Ri offers even better views than the Kala Patthar and you also cross the biggest glacier Ngozumpa before reaching Gokyo. So, you definitely will have extra experience from the Khumbu Region by doing this trek.
If you are a regular trekker and have visited the higher altitudes often, you might be looking for the most adventurous trekking trail in the Everest Region. The Everest Three Passes Trekking is the one, which is a perfect trip for you.
You cross three big hills Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La during this three high passes trek in Khumbu, Nepal. You can do it clockwise and anti-clockwise route, but the counter-clockwise route is more comfortable compared to the other one.
