    Everest is not a name only to be associated with world’s tallest mountain Mt. Everest (8848 m) rather it’s fairyland up in the Himalayas. Everest Base Camp Trek is more than an ordinary trek. Throughout a trail better described as iconic steps towards paradise offers blend of Sherpa culture, alpine forests and more than 20 mountain vistas. Glacial Moraines and glacial lakes along with high altitude passes make every step into this magnificent land of Khumbu challenging.  Trekking in Nepal is considered as the prime outdoor walking holiday activity and Everest region trekking is its deity.  9012405897?profile=originalhttp://nepaltrekkingroutes.com/everest-base-camp-trekking
