“Everest Base Camp Trek is Nepal’s most famous trekking route, leading trekkers to the foot of Mount Everest through stunning mountain scenery and Sherpa villages. The Everest Three Passes Trek offers an even more adventurous experience by combining Everest Base Camp with three spectacular high-altitude passes and panoramic Himalayan views.”
