We repeat the adventure!! After the success of its first edition, our 20 PhotoTravellers achieved their goal of reaching Everest Base Camp. One more year we are once again embarking on the Everest Base Camp Trek Photographic Trip, an incomparable experience of which we are proud to be the only Spanish agency to organize this emblematic photographic trip. So don’t hesitate any longer, if you want to admire and photograph the most impressive peaks on the planet, this is your chance. We offer you an affordable adventure adapted to your physical condition, and unbeatable in photography. We propose an affordable photographic trip to the Khumbu Valley, the native area of the Sherpas, and where Everest is located, it is a simple trek in its difficulty, where we will enter the Sagarmatha National Park and Namche Bazaar, the capital and commercial center of the Khumbu. We will continue advancing up the valley passing by the Tyangboche Monastery, located under the buttresses of the colossus Ama Dablam (6,921m). We will hike to Gorap Shep, and from there we will ascend to Kala Patthar (5,643m) and Everest Base Camp, where we will be able to contemplate the incredible sunset between the Himalayan mountains and enjoy the view of Mount Everest, surrounded by other giants such as Nuptse (7861m) and Lhotse (8561m).
And this year as a novelty, the return from Periche is made by helicopter!, experiencing the entire Khumbu valley from above is a unique sensation!!
A trip that will be forever etched in your memory. And it is that, “… Nepal falls in love…”. At PhotoTravel we like to make your dreams come true… and this time yes, with our help you will be able to do them.
What is the Everest Base Camp Trek like?
We have prepared a Trek for photographers, it is relatively simple, with few slopes, the only handicap is that it is done at height. To improve acclimatization we will do it in very short stages, in addition, in this way, we will be able to observe life in the valley, its customs, its culture, while taking photographs.
My photographic equipment weighs a lot
Don’t worry, each of us will be assigned a porter who will be in charge of transporting the material we will need for the trek. In addition, for every three travelers , another porter will take care of our photographic material (tripods, cameras, lenses) so that we can always have all our equipment at hand.
“The idea is that you carry the minimum, a small backpack, a bottle of water and your camera.”
Is it safe?
Given our many years of experience, we have taken care of the safety and assistance aspect in detail.
We carry a high-altitude first aid kit with an oxygen bottle included, a Nepalese telephone with a 24-hour connection in case of any contingency, and linked to communication to Spain to organize any possible rescue.
Who accompanies me?
At all times, 24 hours a day, you will be accompanied by expert guides who will assist and advise you on the different aspects of the trip. Without a doubt, a luxury that will make your trip a wonderful experience!
Do you want technical advice or a personalized training program?
The PhotoTravel team will advise you and prepare a personalized program for a specific workout, this will help you enjoy even more… we have one year!! and the best thing is completely free..

“… Ama Dablan, with 6,812 meters is considered one of the most beautiful mountains in the world…”
Breakfast. We will start the day by ascending to the most important Buddhist settlement in the Khumbu, Tengboche. This monastery was built on top of a cliff, surrounded by pines, rhododendrons, azaleas, and other flowers, under the shadows of some of the most imposing mountains in the Himalayas: Thamserku, Ama Dablam, Nupse, Lhotse, and Everest. We will find ourselves in a magical and beautiful place that invites peace and meditation.

In the afternoon we will ascend to the Memorial to the fallen on Everest, one of the best images of trekking, where we will take beautiful and emotional photographs. Without any difficulty we will reach Lobuche, where we can enjoy spectacular views of Lhotse, Pumori and a good number of other mountains of 6,000, 7,000 and 8,000 meters. The photographic spectacle is outstanding, and its sunset is well worth a few photos. Lunch, dinner and accommodation at the hostel.
Today it is time to get up early, we must go with time to enjoy the upper part of the Khumbu Valley. The photographs at dawn, when the sun peeks through the mountains, will more than compensate for the early morning. We will pass through Gorak Shep, where we will spend the night and continue to Everest Base Camp. In the time we are going, we will see expeditions from all corners of the world trying to reach the top of the highest mountain on the planet. A splendid place to photograph the day-to-day life of high mountain expeditions. After the visit to Base Camp, we will return along the same path to Gorak Shep, where we will spend the night above 5,000 meters. Lunch, dinner and accommodation at the hostel.
Breakfast. Today we will get up early again to reach the summit of Kala Patthar, a peak above 5,500 meters, which we will try to crown at dawn and thus be able to enjoy the birth of a new day and photograph the natural spectacle that happens between our eyes.
