7 Epic Hikes Every True Adventure Junkie Must Try

Reaching the pinnacle of Earth’s highest mountain, Mount Everest, is the ultimate dream for seasoned mountaineers. However, standing at its foot is an equally powerful experience, minus the life-threatening risks and year-long preparations. Situated in Nepal, the Everest Base Camp trek, though challenging, is a far more achievable feat, offering all the thrill and chill of the majestic Himalayas. Starting in Lukla, the route climbs to an altitude of around 5,364 meters and offers some of the most awe-inspiring views on the planet. The trek takes about 13-15 days, and the biggest test is the high altitude and the rugged terrain; hence, excellent fitness is essential.
