    ADVANCE BASE CAMP TREK

    (21 days)

    Devoid of expedition groups, this autumn trek to Advance Base Camp may have just you andyour guides on the mountain

    After an insightful sightseeing tour in Kathmandu, you will take a flight to Tibet - the

    Forbidden Land. Tibet, with an average altitude in excess of 3500 meters, is the highest

    plateau in the world. Lying to the north of the great Himalayan range, Tibet is more or less

    an untamed land of nomads (drokpas), monasteries and high altitude desert that seem to

    stretch endlessly. Driving overland past the Tibetan plateau (Roof of the world), you

    encounter a picturesque mosaic of Tibetan settlements, nomadic herdsmen, ancient

    monasteries, high Mountain passes, wide arid plains and awe-inspiring mountain views.

    After reaching Rongbuk , you prepare yourself for the worlds highest trek that takes you

    as close to the summit of Mount Everest as any non-climber can go without using any

    technical climbing gears and without mountaineering skill. This is an incredible adventure

    trek along surreally sculpted Rongbuk Glacier to the Advance Base Camp for the north Col

    route up Mount Everest (8848m). As there wont be any expeditions during Autumn, the

    Base Camp and Advance Base Camp of Mount Everest (North side) will be virtually empty,

    devoid of the usual climbing crowd. It may be just you and your guides trekking alone on

    the mountain. So savor this special moment of having the entire mountain to yourself!

    Note: This trek will be led by an experienced mountain Sherpa guide. If the group is large, a

    Western guide may lead the trek.
