Nepal: 12-Day Everest Base Camp Trekking for Women

Trek to Everest Base Camp on a 12-day women-only adventure led by a licensed female guide in Nepal. Enjoy close-up views of Everest, Sherpa villages, a sunrise at Kala Patthar, & Tengboche Monastery.
Your journey begins with a short, scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (2,860 m), the mountain airstrip that opens the Khumbu region. From here, a licensed female guide and a female porter walk with your women-only group for the entire trek. The pace is steady and suits women of different ages and backgrounds.

The trail follows the Dudh Koshi River through Sherpa villages decorated with prayer flags, mani walls and chortens. You cross high suspension bridges, including the Hillary Bridge, as you enter Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A steady climb brings you to Namche Bazaar (3,440 m), the lively Sherpa capital. Here you spend a full day acclimatising and can explore bakeries, gear shops, the Sherpa Museum and the Saturday market.

You then continue through conifer and rhododendron forest to Tengboche (3,860 m), home to the largest monastery in the Khumbu, framed by Ama Dablam, Nuptse and Everest. Above the tree line, the valley opens into wide, dry high country. You stay overnight in Dingboche and Lobuche, with a second acclimatisation day built in higher up the valley. Then you cross the rocky moraine of the Khumbu Glacier to Gorak Shep, the last settlement on the route.

From Gorak Shep, you walk to Everest Base Camp (5,364 m). You stand at the foot of the world's highest mountain, beside the Khumbu Icefall. Early the next morning, you climb Kala Patthar (5,644 m) for sunrise. This dark rocky ridge gives the best close-up view of Everest's summit, along with Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori and Changtse in one sweeping panorama.

The return route goes down through the Pheriche valley to Namche Bazaar and on to Lukla. You spend a final night in the mountains there before a scenic flight back to Kathmandu. At the end of the trek, each woman receives a Women Empowerment & Achievement Certificate to mark what she has achieved.

Throughout the trek, you stay in local teahouses and share rooms only with other women from your group. No technical climbing is involved, so you won't need ropes, crampons or glacier skills. The trek does need good stamina for several days of walking at high altitude.
