Situated at 5,364m, Nepal shares the south side of Everest Base Camp, there are unsophisticated campsites on the Base Camp for climbers and trekkers. Hundreds of prayer flags directed towards the glorious mountain and the smell of local butter tea from the locals will make this place more charming. Thus, hundreds of trekkers attempt to reach the Base Camp and few of them even provoke to climb the tallest mountain in the world. Mt.
