About the Mount Everest Base Camp Trek
The Everest Base Camp Trek (other known as EBC) is the most popular thru-hike in the Himalayas, Nepal. It takes you roughly 130 km (it could be longer or shorter depending on where you start the hike) through various mountain villages, mountain passes, crystal-clear river crossings, and rugged valleys to reach the Everest Base Camp. Although it's still a somewhat difficult trek, it's considered to be fairly easily doable with a bit of training, and it lets you experience the high elevation of the Himalayas without any alpinism experience. If you want to hike something less popular, then other trails in the Himalayas include the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, the Langtang Trek, and the Annapurna Circuit.
