Khumbu High Road
Lukla to Everest Base Camp, on foot, all of it.
Strenuous
The full walk-in from Lukla to Base Camp at 5,364 m. Take the acclimatisation days — there is no time limit on this one, and altitude sickness is not a badge. A helicopter leg breaks the track and will not verify.
What it takes
- Walk Everest Base Camp end to end — at least 85% of the mapped route.
- Climb at least 3,500 m.
- Travel on foot. Routes are checked for vehicle speeds and impossible climb rates — a jeep leg or a helicopter hop will not verify.
