The Everest Base Camp (EBC), situated at the Sagarmatha National Park of Nepal, has become one of the most attractive tourist destinations due to its geographic beauty and climbing attractions that preserve cultural value. Mount Everest dominates the highest mountain range, which tops the world's highest peak with an altitude of (8,848 meters/ 29,032 feet). Other mountains include Mt. Lhotse (8,516 meters/ 27,940 ft), Mt. Nuptse (7,861 meters/ 25,790 ft), and Mt. Makalu (8,485 meters/ 27,838 feet). This area has outstanding physical features such as high-raised mountains, glaciers, and deep gorges that attract mountain hiking lovers and those who desire adventure. The most favorable season for visiting the Everest region is spring and autumn. The weather is comparatively more predictable throughout the seasons, which grants fabulous opportunities to view the giant Himalayan mountains. Any visitor desirous of visiting the national park must obtain a Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit, and permission from Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality is mandatory to enter the Khumbu area. Such permits are essential in conservation and ensure that journeying operations benefit societies. The area is also blessed with a great variety of flora and fauna: rhododendron forests, rare orchids, Himalayan tahr, red pandas, and snow leopards are residents of this area. This has allowed hikers to embrace the beautiful composition of this majestic biological community characteristic of high-altitude tracts. One of the famous landmarks within this area is the Everest Base Camp, where many expeditions to climb the highest mountain in the world are initiated. Other attractions include the beautiful vantage point of Kala Patthar, where explorers have spectacular views of Mount Everest and neighboring mountains. Tourists also get a feel for the religious setting of Buddhist monasteries, such as the Tengboche Monastery in Tengboche, which is set to represent the actual colors of the Sherpas people. In addition, many villages, such as Namche Bazaar, allow for interaction with locals and their respective recommendations. The region in and around Mount Everest is not just a walking holiday; it means exploring the soul of the great Himalayan range with a touch of harmony of culture and scenic beauty. The Everest base camp trek typically takes 14 days to complete, but it can be completed in 9-18 days, depending upon your available time in Nepal and your physical fitness. If you have more time or are feeling more adventurous, you can climb Gokyo Valley for breath-taking vistas of mountains and blue glacier lakes. The EBC Trek is likely to be packed with hikers, especially during the hiking seasons, in contrast to less popular treks like Manaslu Circuit or Annapurna Circuit.
