icicles adventure treks and tour - Kathmandu, Nepal

Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the Himalayan Mountain Range, where being able to stand on the top of the world has for centuries been one of mans most daring challenges. Once conquered by Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing in 1953, many have visited `The Land of the Sherpa` in Nepal to wonder at his achievement and making it one of the most popular trekking destinations in the world today.

The Everest Base Camp trek is located in some of the most spectacular scenery to be found on the continent and is not for the faint hearted. The trek starts from the Sherpa village of Lukla, following the short flight from Kathmandu and uses the traditional expedition route to Khumbu, the capital of the region. Then the route continues on along the Imja Khola River to the valley below Everest itself. From there the trek continues on using the route taken by the first expedition to climb Everest to South Col and on to Everest Base Camp.
