There is no place on earth quite like the Everest Region in Tibet, and trekking to its Base Camp (from the north side) combined with authentic cultural experiences is lifelong dream for many people. Situated at an altitude of 5,208 metres (17,090 ft), the North Base Camp is used when climbing via the northeast ridge and offers a medium to challenging 3-4 days of trekking. One of the best options is to start at Everest Base Camp and pass through Rombuk Monastery and Raiju (Ra-chu) Valley and finish at Tingri.

The trekking season in the Everest region extends from May to October but the high elevation (4400m-5300m) will be your biggest challenge. For this reason, acclimatization and gradual increase in altitude are key; ponies to carry your packs and/or to ride are essential; and experienced and knowledgeable guides mandatory. There are few options of local lodging so personal camping gear is required.

You will fly to Lhasa from Chengdu (or Katmandu) to Lhasa, and explore the wonders of Lhasa while acclimatizing. Highlight experiences include a visit to the Jokhang Temple, Barkhor Square, Potala Palace, and Sera Monastery to learn about Tibetan architecture, history, and culture. On your way to the Everest Base Camp, you can also visit some of the Tibet’s most popular destinations including Shigatse, Gyantse, Palkhor Choide Chorten, Sakya Monastery and Tingri.
