Gorak Shep

The Last Stop Before Everest Base Camp

 

Gorak Shep is the final settlement on the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek, sitting at an altitude of 5,164 meters (16,942 feet). This small, high-altitude village is the last place where trekkers can find lodges and teahouses before reaching EBC. It also serves as the starting point for the Kala Patthar climb, offering the best views of Mount Everest.

Despite its harsh, rocky terrain and lack of permanent residents, Gorak Shep is an essential stop for trekkers seeking to experience the thrill of the Everest region. While the air is thin and temperatures can be freezing, the sense of accomplishment upon reaching this point is unmatched.
