Three Base Camp Trek

Everest, Cho Oyo, Shishapangma: Our Three Base Camp-Trek in Tibet brings you to the Base Camps of three of the 14 highest mountains of the world: Mount Everest (8'848m), Cho Oyo (8'201m), and Shishapangma (8'013m).

Our adventure begins with some time in Kahtmandu to discover this amazing city, capital of Nepal, before we fly into Lhasa. Here we spend several days sight seeing and acclimatizing before driving west towards the beginning of our trek at Cho Oyo Base Camp. Along the way we stop and visit several active monasteries.

From Cho Oyo Base Camp we start heading east towards the world's most famous Base Camp - Everest - situated in the Rongbuk Valley.

From the Rongbuk monastery, there are numerous day hikes that can take us well above the valley floor for excellent views of Everest's North Face.

Due to our close contact with the monks at the Rongbuk monastery, we will spend time discovering some of the mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism, partaking in a puja, or religious ceremony and enjoying a meal with one of the world's most dramatic views as a backdrop.

From Everest Base Camp, we will start heading back to Nepal by jeep, visiting Shishapangma Base Camp on the way for a day-hike. We will cross into Nepal in Zangmu.
