Overview

Everest Base Camp trekking expedition through Salleri is actually considered an alternative one. This trip is quite suitable for budget travelers who would like to have a quality experience of the Everest region at a cheaper rate. Given the fact that this route is less traveled, the paths are quite less crowded and not stacked up by tourists. Right from the start of your ride to the region, you shall begin admiring the sheer beauty of the place. Vibrant local culture, roaring rivers, and calm mountains will undoubtedly be phenomenally enriching to your experience along the path to Everest.

If you have lesser experience with high altitudes this is exactly the trek for you adventure seekers. The warm hospitality that you are showered along these less traveled pathways will make you believe in humanity. As you stay in the local tea houses and interact with the locals you shall have a new appreciation for humankind in general. With the local residents, you often find yourselves swaying along to their music and drinking their local beverages.

Our guides and crew members shall keep every aspect of your journey in check in order to make it utter bliss. You cannot embark on the trip on your own as you require proper permits and at least one guide to lead you through the excursion. We will ensure everything is properly maintained right from when you make your reservations. The best time to undertake the Everest Base Camp trek is during Spring (mid of March to May) and autumn (mid-September to November)
