Everest Base Camp Trek is the popular alternative trail to Everest Base Camp with a drive start to Phaplu. Many travelers choose to start their EBC journey with a drive to Phaplu rather than choosing the flight to Lukla to have a unique experience. The classic Everest Base Camp Trek is a popular route to start by road drive. The journey lets you savor the experience of passing through ebullient glacial rivers, venerated emerald forests, and beautiful villages of the lower Khumbu region. Gratify your travel senses from the warm generosity of the ethnic people who reside in isolated villages and small settlements. The trek also lets you visit the Buddhist monasteries adorned with prayer flags on the golden spires of the monasteries that provide an excellent contrast of tincture against the ivory landscape. The views from this route are equally gorgeous, and walking on the trails of the Himalayas proves to be an awe-inspiring experience.
