Mount Everest Base Camp

It's called the "Steps to Heaven" for a reason. A trek to the base camp of the world's tallest peak is on every mountaineer's bucket list. When you see the view, which is breathtakingly magnificent and unlike any alpine habitat you've ever seen — varying from rich green farmland, dense woodland, and brilliant blue fast-flowing rivers to desolate ground and glacier ponds as you climb higher — you'll realise it was a great option. You're on your way to becoming a true hero by climbing Everest.

When you reach the top of the final ascent, tripping over rocky rocks and onto a white canvas, all you'll be able to do is sit and marvel at what has become one of your greatest achievements.
