Venture Magazine published by UK Based Kumuka Worldwide, a leading company specialising in worldwide adventure tours, has enlisted Everest Base Camp (EBC) of Nepal in top of their list of Asia’s First 11 tourist destinations.

According to Nepal Tourism Board (NTB), the EBC precedes other destinations such as Lhasa (Tibet), The Taj Mahal (India), Kettuvalom Cruising (India), Benotta Beach (Sri Lanka) and The Great Wall of China which are respectively on the list in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 8th spots.

“Trekking to Everest isn’t just for mountaineers: the fit will find it a life-changing experience. Kumuka’s ‘Base Camp Trek’ puts the world’s greatest mountain in perspective, exploring Kathmandu and taking the time to meander through the Sherpa people’s homeland, with porters to take the strain of heavy luggage and simple, atmospheric tea-house accommodation,” the venture Magazine wrote about Everest Base Camp.

Prior to this accolade, Nepal was also honored by Wanderlust Travel Award 2001, UK. It has kept Nepal in 2nd position in the Top Country Category.
