Description
Everest Base Camp Drive-In Drive-Out Trek is the ideal option for those who wish to avoid the Lukla flights. Without the need for any internal flights, it follows the same path as the earliest climbers and trekkers in the Everest region. The 4WD drive allows us to bypass the possibility of delays due to bad weather, and the gradual ascent over multiple days provides ample opportunity for acclimatization. Combining high adventure with incredible Himalayan views and cultural experience, Ace the Himalaya has designed this trek for intrepid adventurers. Trekking along the Dudh Koshi river to the Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar and Tengboche Monastery, with a breathtaking view of the Himalayan mountains all the way up to Everest Base Camp, is an experience like no other.
