The primary goal of an Everest trek is the Everest base camp at an elevation of about 5340 metres.

The popular destination of Everest is of course  Everest Base camp , Kalapatthar, destinations such as Namche Bazaar, the administrative headquarters of the Khumbu region; Khumjung or Thami, more typical Sherpa villages; or Tengpoche Monastery. From Tengpoche you will have an excellent view of Everest and its more spectacular neighbor Ama Dablam (6856 metres).
