What an unforgettable trek! Starting in Phaplu, we explored less-traveled paths while gradually making our way toward Everest Base Camp. The views of the mountains and the villages we passed through were fantastic. This trek was physically challenging, but it was also very rewarding. I would definitely recommend this route for those who want a more serene and scenic trek to Everest.

The Phaplu to Everest Base Camp trek was the highlight of my Nepal trip! It was a less touristy route but just as spectacular. The journey through the Sherpa villages and the gradual ascent to Base Camp made the experience feel so much more authentic. The views of Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu were mesmerizing. I’m so glad I chose this route
