Interactive 3D map featuring trekking routes and mountain hikes in Nepal
Using state-of-the-art satellite technology, we have developed a highly accurate, interactive 3D map of Mount Everest—with a resolution and level of detail that sets new standards.
The map allows you to explore the region in unprecedented detail: from the classic trek to Everest Base Camp to the various climbing routes to the summit of the world’s highest mountain.
In our tour planner and the RealityMaps Outdoor app, you can now find the most beautiful and famous trekking tours in Nepal—from the legendary trails of the Khumbu region around Everest to the hidden gems throughout the country.
The route from Lukla to Base Camp and up Mount Everest
The video takes you on the iconic route to Mount Everest—starting in Lukla, the spectacular high-altitude airstrip where most expeditions begin. From there, the trail winds through the stunning Khumbu region, past Sherpa villages, suspension bridges, and deep, rugged valleys, all the way up to Everest Base Camp.
From there, the technically demanding part of the expedition begins: the dangerous Khumbu Icefall, with its constantly shifting crevasses and massive seracs. Beyond it lies the “Valley of Silence”—a surreal, almost unreal ice landscape where Camp 1 and Camp 2 are located. The ascent continues up the steep, icy Lhotse flank, where every step requires strength and absolute concentration, to the South Col—an exposed saddle at an altitude of about 8,000 meters.
On summit day, the final ascent begins long before sunrise: in the thin air, the climbers battle their way up the narrow southeast ridge. Conquering the legendary Hillary Step marks the last major crux—before the summit of Mount Everest finally comes into view and the highest point on Earth is reached.

Trekking and climbing peaks in the Everest area
The Everest region offers a multitude of trekking tours. The Earth’s ‘ceiling’ makes a profound impression on those travelling here. The local landscape is defined by its many 8,000 m peaks – Mount Everest, Lhotse and Makalu in particular- but is also appreciated for aesthetically-pleasing peaks like Ama Dablam and Pumori. Along with the classic expeditions to Everest Base Camp, plenty more trekking summits await, accessible via comfortable to demanding ascents.
