Where Does the Everest Base Camp Trek Begin?
Up high, beyond the ocean’s reach, a route runs across Nepal’s rough eastern terrain - it leads close to Everest, winding beside sharp peaks such as Lhotse and the sweeping arc of Ama Dablam. Where one step first makes a difference; footfall on soil sets rhythms for lungs, guides choices of rest spots, and affects movement through thin air. Today, many hikers take planes directly into Lukla, bypassing distant starting points, trading distance for altitude, arriving fresh when paths grow steep.
