The history of Everest Base Camp is long. Once was a jungle full of wild snow animals. Later, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa went trekking around the region. They went to the Base Camp and returned successfully. Then the trekking destination came into existence and now is widely famous as Everest Base Camp trek. Lukla Airport was constructed by Edmund and his team to help the trekkers get a smooth transport facility for accessing this area.
Trekking to the Everest region starts from Kathmandu. The Everest Base Camp Trek Distance is a 130 km round trip starting from Lukla. You need to trek for an average of 5-6 hours per day.
