Over 50's Everest Base Camp Trek
We are now taking bookings for April and October 2016 and we are pleased to announce that we have added an extra day between Lukla and Namche Bazaar for more acclimatisation.
We have found that a few of our trekkers were finding the climb from Phakding (2640m) to Namche (3450m) quite a hard day, so we are now making an extra overnight stop at Monjo (2815m) to reduce the altitude gain by approximately 200m and thereby making the trek up to Namche Bazaar much easier.
