In the National Park of Sagarmatha, the terrain is basically a cold desert with very little vegetation of any kind, for much of the trek. The starting point for the trek is an adventurous and short flight from Kathmandu. The town called Lukla is a little village. While this tour is fairly long, it offers lots of great attractions as monasteries and suspension br apart from the base camp.
October is one of the most favorite months of the EBC trek for the ideal season. The weather remaining quite consistent during this time and you won’t have too much to worry about the cold nights and the delays of your journey. Now it doesn’t seem very daunting, in contrast to what many people believe, to trek to the EBC. Indeed, anyone with a good fitness level and physical training for some months can take part in this spectacular journey. Certainly, walking at these high altitudes with less air oxygen may challenge you to your limits, but it certainly worth the effort to get an overview of the highest summits in the world.
Kedarkantha
A trekking pleasure for every adventurer that wants to visit sparsely crowded places and a paradise in Autumn. Because Kedarkantha is widely known for winter walks, October is the best month if you want to avoid crowds.

The unity of nature offers such a wonderful view that you will be amazed all the time. The hill is known as Shiva, as Kedarkantha trek, meaning Shiva throat, also has various temples. Devotees walk along this hill in the quietness of Shiva’s residence to seek solace.
