Discovery World TrekkingThe 14-day Everest Base Camp trek takes you into the heart of Nepal’s Khumbu region to stand at the base of the tallest peak on Earth, Mt. Everest. From glacial valleys to rugged ridges, you’ll experience authentic Sherpa villages and Buddhist monasteries while navigating the grandeur of the Himalayas.
The Everest Base Camp Trek immerses you in the breathtaking landscapes and rich Sherpa heritage of the Everest region in northeast Nepal. This journey leads you to the legendary Everest Base Camp at 5,364 m / 17,598 ft, located in the Solukhumbu District. The highest point of the trek is Kala Patthar at 5,555 m / 18,208 ft, which brings you face-to-face with mighty Mount Everest.
The 14-Day journey, guided by local experienced Sherpa guides, begins with a scenic 40-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (2,860 m / 9,350 ft). Depending on the season, the trek may start from Manthali: a 5-hour drive from Kathmandu, followed by a 20-minute flight to Lukla.
From Lukla, the trail follows the Dudh Koshi River, passing through charming villages like Phakding (2,650 m / 8,562 ft). Along the way, you pass through Rimshuing Monastery and cross the Hillary suspension bridge, an early highlight of the trek in Sagarmatha National Park.
You move through the rhododendron forests and alpine meadows before reaching Namche Bazaar (3,440 m / 11,285 ft). This lively Sherpa town is the gateway to Everest, where you spend a day for acclimatization. You can explore local markets, Khumjung village, and Syangboche airport, discover Sherpa culture at the museum, and observe the yaks grazing in the farms.
You can experience your first close-up glimpses of Everest with a short hike to the nearest viewpoints, such as the Everest View Hotel. From Namche, the trek continues through wildlife-rich areas, where you may spot musk deer, pheasants, and Himalayan tahrs.
While ascending, the trail moves towards Tengboche (3,860 m / 12,665 ft), home to the Tengboche monastery. Here, you are embraced by a serene atmosphere with panoramic views of Ama Dablam, Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse.
Passing through a pine forest with blooming juniper, your path leads to Dingboche (4,360 m / 14,290 ft), a high-altitude farming village. This is the second acclimatization stop in the EBC trek.
Beyond Dingboche, the landscape gradually turns rocky and steep as you pass the memorial stupa on the way to Lobuche (4,940 m / 16,175 ft). The path becomes more challenging and adventurous due to the thin air and rugged terrain.
The climax awaits as you reach Gorak Shep (5,140 m / 17,010 ft), the last settlement before the EBC. It is the base of your final push. From here, a thrilling trek takes you to Everest Base Camp, where you are surrounded by a panorama of the world’s highest peaks.
After reaching EBC, you walk along the world’s highest glacier, the Khumbu Glacier, passing the towering Khumbu Icefall on your way back to Gorak Shep. An early morning hike from here to Kala Patthar rewards you with a once-in-a-lifetime moment: sunrise that lights up Everest in gold and rose, leaving you breathless.
The trek descends back to Pheriche (4,250 m / 13,945 ft), a farming village growing potatoes and buckwheat. Retracing your steps through Lobuche, Dingboche, Tengboche, and Namche Bazaar, the trek concludes in Lukla.
A final scenic flight brings you back to Kathmandu, closing your Everest Base Camp adventure. The journey leaves you with unforgettable memories of towering peaks, cultural encounters, and the raw beauty of the Himalayas.
During peak trekking seasons (March–May and September–November), Lukla flights operate from Manthali (Ramechhap) instead of Kathmandu due to air traffic congestion. On these days, you will leave Kathmandu around 12:30 a.m. for a 5 – 6 hour drive to Manthali to catch your early morning flight.
During off-peak months, flights usually depart directly from Kathmandu.
Flight delays and cancellations are common due to changing mountain weather, so we strongly recommend adding at least one buffer day before the trek and one after your trek. These buffer days help prevent delays or disruptions to your international travel plans.
After confirming your 10% booking deposit and receiving your documents, we quickly schedule an online briefing on WhatsApp. During the call, we will walk you through the itinerary, gear checklist, weather conditions, and exactly what to expect on the trail.
As we answer your queries, we will guide you on physical and mental preparation for the trek. Our goal is to clear all your doubts and help you feel confident, ready, and excited for the trek.

If the published schedule does not suit you, we can build the trek around your dates, your pace and what you want to see.
The calendar below displays the available trek schedules. Please select the exact trek start date. Ensure your arrival day is before the trek start date and your departure day is after the trek end date.
The Everest Base Camp trek begins with a morning mountain flight to Lukla, home to the famous Tenzing-Hillary Airport.
You will take a direct 40-minute early-morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla during off-peak trekking seasons (January, February, June, July, August, and December).
The flights are dependent on weather conditions, airline schedules, and the volume of travellers.
During peak trekking seasons (March, April, May, September, October, and November), Lukla flights usually operate from Manthali Airport in Ramechhap due to air traffic in Kathmandu.
We begin a late-night or early-morning (12:30 am) 4-5 hours drive in a shared vehicle from Kathmandu to Manthali, then catch a short 20-minute mountain flight to Lukla.
If you prefer to avoid the long drive to Manthali, you can choose a direct helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Lukla.
The flight usually carries four to five passengers and costs around $550 USD per person.
Kathmandu/Manthali → Lukla → Chheplung → Phakding
After landing at Lukla Airport, you follow the trail through Sherpa villages, prayer wheels, mani stones, and pine forests alongside the Dudh Koshi River.
The first walking day is relatively short, helping your body ease into the trek.
You pass Chheplung village with views of Kusum Kanguru before crossing suspension bridges toward Phakding, a peaceful riverside village surrounded by forested hills and mountain streams.
The second day of the trek follows the northern bank of the Dudh Koshi River as you leave Phakding and head toward Namche Bazaar.
It is considered one of the toughest days due to the 800-meter steep, long, consistent ascent before reaching Namche Hill.
Phakding→ Monjo→ Jorsalle→ Namche Bazaar
Along the route, you cross many suspension bridges and truss-style bridges over the rivers and streams, including the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge with colorful prayer flags.
Passing the waterfalls, you come across a small village named Tok Tok. You can see the trail with colorful flowering plants alongside mani stones, prayer wheels, and a stupa (chorten), reflecting the spiritual atmosphere of the Khumbu region.
With a gradual uphill trek, you reach Monjo, the official entry point of the Sagarmatha National Park, where trekking permits are checked.
We descend through the dense pine and rhododendron forests to have a warm lunch beside the river at Jorsalle. From here, the trail ascends along a narrow mountain path often called the “Himalayan Highway” by Sherpas.
After crossing the final bridge, we hike up to Namche Bazaar, a Sherpa town built in semi-circular layers with a Buddhist stupa at the center.
The third day of our trek is an acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar. It is not a complete rest day but follows the trekking principle “hike higher, sleep lower” to help the body adjust to higher altitude and reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
We have some options for you to go for a hike: Sherpa villages and Museum, Syangboche Airport, Everest View Hotel, Hillary School, and Yak farms.
All over the route, you pass through the mantra stones, prayer flags, and the colorful Dellek Monastery with red-yellow-muted blue colors.
Hiking through a rugged uphill trail with steep stairs, you reach the Everest View Hotel, one of the highest-altitude hotels in the world. Depending on the weather, it offers one of the best views of South Col of Mt. Everest.
From here, the trail goes downhill past a rock outcrop and a stupa to Khumjung village, known for its green-roofed houses. Enjoying the view of the “Yeti Scalp” monastery in the back, you can also buy handcrafted woolen items and local souvenirs around the village.
Heading further ahead, you can see a prayer stone at the center of the junction before visiting the Hillary School and its nearby statue.
Exploring the surrounding Sherpa villages, we return to Namche Bazaar. Here, you can enjoy the Wi-Fi-linked cafés and restaurants, restock your snacks, and purchase souvenirs or trekking gear.
Today, after a warm breakfast in Namche, we begin our trek toward Tengboche, following a scenic ridge with continuous mountain views of Everest, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and Lhotse.
Namche Bazaar → Kyangjuma → Phunki Thenga → Tengboche → Deboche
Following the long ridgeline of the mountain range, the trail moves up and down through lush forested sections before arriving at Kyangjuma. It is a small village named after a Tibetan medicine traditionally used to treat inflammation-related diseases.
From here, the path becomes less maintained and noticeably rough as you re-enter dense woodland. In quieter sections of the forest, you may spot musk deer, pheasants, and Himalayan thars moving through the terrain.
You continue descending through the rhododendron or pine trees until you reach Phunki Thenga, a small riverside village beside the Dudh Koshi River. You can get some time to rest and enjoy a lunch break with the calming sound of flowing water.
After lunch, you continue a steady, steep uphill trek as the landscape opens up into lush green and colorful wildflowers before Tengboche. The village is considered a spiritual center and home to the ancient Tengboche Monastery, the largest Buddhist monastery in the Khumbu region.
After exploring the area, you continue for a short walk to Deboche, where you settle in and rest for the night.
Our day starts in Deboche with a warm breakfast, then we step into a cold, windy Himalayan morning before heading to Dingboche.
Deboche → Pangboche → Shomare → Dingboche
From Deboche, you continue downhill to the Imja Khola River, crossing a suspension bridge decorated with prayer flags fluttering above the gorge. You can see a beautiful stupa with Mt. Ama Dablam in the background.
The trail then gradually leads you into Pangboche, the highest year-round Sherpa village in the Khumbu region. It is home to many climbing Sherpas who work on Everest expeditions. Here, you can see ancient chortens, mani walls, and the historic Pangboche monastery.
After Pangboche, the landscape changes into a wider alpine valley with fewer treeks and a clear view of Lhotse. You continue along the Imja Khola valley until you reach Shomare, where you stop for a relaxed lunch break.
You continue the uphill trail through the stone-walled fields and high-altitude farmland, where locals grow barley, buckwheat, and potatoes. With a view of Island Peak ahead and the air getting thinner, you continue your steady trek until you reach Dingboche.
Today is your second acclimatization day in Dingboche, an important rest stop before you move into much higher elevations of the Everest region. You stay at this altitude to allow your body to adapt to the thinner air and reduced oxygen levels.
Dingboche → Nangkartshang Peak (Acclimatization Hike) → Dingboche
You begin the day with a short but steep acclimatization hike above Dingboche toward Nangkartshang Peak (5,083 m / 16,676 ft), where the trail gradually ascends over rocky terrain and open hillsides.
From the top, you can enjoy views of Makalu, Ama Dablam, Island Peak, Lhotse, and the vast Imja Valley stretching below.
At this altitude, the air feels noticeably thinner. This short hike helps your body adjust before the more demanding sections ahead toward Lobuche and Gorak Shep.
After descending back to Dingboche, you can spend the afternoon at a relaxed pace, resting, hydrating, or visiting small local bakeries.
The remainder of the day is focused on recovery and preparation for the higher-altitude journey ahead.
Today we head toward Lobuche, gaining around 530 m in elevation. The trail is more exposed, and the air feels thinner. After yesterday’s acclimatization hike, this is the day to find out if our bodies are ready for the trek ahead into a higher altitude environment.
Dingboche → Thukla → Thukla Pass → Lobuche
You take a short uphill trek above the edge of Pheriche village toward Thukla hills. Along the way, you pass a yak grazing area and may catch distant views of Dzongla Lake. Kangtega and Thamserku dominate the skyline behind you, while Lobuche East and Cholatse come into view ahead.
As you approach Thukla (also spelled Dughla), strong mountain winds often sweep across the valley. This is the lunch stop, where we rest for an hour and get ready for a long stretch towards the toughest part of the day, Thukla Pass (4,830 m / 15,846 ft.).
After a series of steep switchbacks, following the 30 steps, breathe, 30 more rule, you reach the top, the Thukla Pass memorial. Here, you can see the stone memorial statues and chortens of climbers/Sherpas who lost their lives on Everest.
From the pass, the trail becomes gentler as it follows the moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. If the weather remains clear, you can enjoy expansive views of Pumori (7,165 m / 23,495 ft.), Lingtren (6,749 m / 22,142 ft.), Minbo, and Minbo La.
As the upper Khumbu basin gradually opens up before you, a final walk across the broad valley brings you to Lobuche, a cluster of stone-walled teahouses. On a chill, clear evening, you can witness the golden sunset light illuminating Mount Nuptse (7,861 m / 25,791 ft.).
Day 8 is the most anticipated moment of your trek as you finally reach Everest Base Camp at 5,364 m, the base of the world’s highest mountain. It is a day to witness the Himalayan grandeur up close and live the experience you’ve been waiting for.
Lobuche → Gorak Shep → Everest Base Camp → Gorak Shep
After a warm breakfast, you ascend on an uneven trail of loose stones, moraine, and glacial debris. Along the way, you can see the Pyramid – an Italian high-altitude research center, a well-known scientific station in the Everest region.
You continue moving ahead along the winding trails until you reach Gorak Shep, a small cluster of 5–6 teahouses sitting in a wide sandy basin. Here, you stop for lunch with clear views of Mt. Pumori rising directly behind the teahouse.
After a short rest, you leave your backpack at the teahouse and take only a light daypack with essentials like a jacket, windbreaker, gloves, water, and camera. From here, we continue on the thrilling journey to the EBC.
The trail becomes more challenging as you walk across the stretch of the Khumbu Glacier, which flows like a frozen river of ice and rock down the valley.
Entering a moraine landscape with icy ridges and a rocky basin filled with prayer flags, where a famous painted iconic rock marks Everest Base Camp.
You stand at the base of the world’s highest mountain, surrounded by the massive Khumbu Icefall. From here, Khumbutse (6,636 meters / 21,772 ft.), Pumori, Nuptse, and Lhotse dominate the skyline.
You have time to wander, sit, and enjoy the same ground from where every Everest summit climb begins, while your guide captures group photos to mark the achievement.
During the spring season, colorful expedition tents bring life and color, filling the base camp area. After celebrating at Everest Base Camp, you return to Gorak Shep through the same trail to rest, refuel, and rejuvenate at the teahouse.
Our day begins before sunrise with a hike to Kala Patthar, the highest point of the Everest Base Camp trek. Enjoying the best panoramic view of Mount Everest, we descend to Gorak Shep for breakfast before continuing to Pheriche.
Gorak Shep → Kala Patthar → Gorak Shep → Lobuche → Thukla → Pheriche
We begin an early morning steep uphill trek for about 1 hour toward Kala Patthar. The trail is rocky, exposed to wind, and gains about 380 meters of vertical elevation, making it one of the hardest hours of the entire trek.
We recommend maintaining a pace of the Khumbu Shuffle: 20-30 steps, a breathing pause, then another 20-30 steps.
Passing several false summits, you eventually reach the prayer-flag-covered summit point of Kala Patthar. The early morning trek can be cold and demanding, but the panoramic sunrise views over Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Pumori, and the Khumbu Glacier are unforgettable.
After descending to Gorak Shep for breakfast, you continue downhill through Lobuche, Thukla Pass Memorial, and Thukla. The stone monuments in the memorial stand as a reminder of the challenges and history of mountaineering in the Everest region.
From Thukla, you continue into the broad valley of Pheriche, where the lower elevation and thicker air offer relief after several days at high altitude.
Today’s trail is mostly downhill as you leave the open alpine valley of Pheriche and descend toward the forested lower Khumbu region. The air gradually becomes richer in oxygen, making the walk more comfortable after several days at higher elevation.
Pheriche → Shomare → Pangboche → Deboche → Tengboche
Following the Imja Khola valley, you trek toward Shomare with wide mountain views of Ama Dablam, Taboche, and Kangtega accompanying you along the route.
The trail passes yak grazing pastures, traditional stone-built lodges, and long prayer walls before reaching Pangboche. From here, you descend through the greener and more sheltered landscape filled with rhododendron/juniper forests.
You continue through the quiet settlement of Deboche before arriving at Tengboche, where you spend the night surrounded by mountain scenery and the peaceful atmosphere.
Today, we wake up to beautiful mountain views around Tengboche before beginning our return journey through dense rhododendron and pine forests to Namche Bazaar.
Tengboche → Phunki Thenga → Kyangjuma → Namche Bazaar
We start by walking alongside the Dudh Koshi River, crossing the suspension bridge. While the trail drops steeply to Phunki Thenga, you can enjoy the views of Ama Dablam and Thamserku mountain.
After crossing the river, you follow a gradual uphill trail toward Kyangjuma, before the route levels out on the approach to Namche Bazaar. After days spent in remote alpine villages, returning to Namche feels lively and welcoming.
You can spend the evening relaxing in restaurants, bakeries, or local shops around the bustling Sherpa town.
Our 12th day on the Everest Base Camp trek follows the familiar trail back through the lower Khumbu valley. With a significant loss in elevation, the trek feels easier.
Namche Bazaar → Monjo → Phakding
Leaving Namche, you descend steep stone staircases and forested ridges toward the Hillary Suspension Bridge. The trail continues along the Dudh Koshi River through pine forests, small waterfalls, and traditional Sherpa villages.
Passing through Monjo, you cross the Sagarmatha National Park checkpoint before continuing along the riverside trail. The lower elevation brings warmer temperatures and a greener landscape.
The path becomes gentler as you continue through riverside settlements and suspension bridges toward Phakding. Tonight, you stay in this peaceful village for your final trekking overnight in the Everest region.
Today is your final walking day in the Everest region, retracing your route to Lukla, where the journey first began.
Phakding → Tok Tok → Chheplung → Lukla
After breakfast, you follow the Dudh Koshi River once more, crossing a suspension bridge. Along the way, you pass through small villages decorated with prayer flags (locally known as Lungta) and mani stones.
The trail then winds through woodland and uphill to Kusum Stream. From here, you need to take a steep downhill path to the west until you reach TokTok.
Approaching Chheplung through the winding dirt roads and stone staircases indicates you are near Lukla. You can see traditional gompas, monasteries, and prayer wheels throughout the route that reflect the rich Buddhist culture.
Arriving in Lukla, you complete your Everest Base Camp journey. In the evening, you can celebrate this achievement with your team and enjoy your last night in the Everest region.
The 14th day marks the completion of your Everest Base Camp journey, bidding farewell to the mountains, views, and unforgettable experiences of the Khumbu region.
After having a final breakfast in the Everest region, we head up to catch a flight from Lukla Airport.
Lukla → Manthali → Kathmandu
During the off-season, you can board a regular Lukla to Kathmandu flight, which usually takes around 40 minutes. The journey offers final aerial views of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys below.
During peak trekking seasons, you need to take a 20-minute flight from Lukla to Manthali Airport due to heavy air traffic in Kathmandu.
From Manthali(Ramechhap), we continue a drive back to Kathmandu in a shared vehicle. The drive follows the Tamakoshi and Sunkoshi riversides, where you can catch distant views of the Langtang and Jugal Himal ranges.
Upon arrival in Kathmandu, your Everest Base Camp trek officially comes to an end. Our package concludes here, and the rest of the day is entirely up to you, free for personal activities or relaxation.

This ensures you begin your trek fully-equipped and self-assured.
During the trek, you will stay in locally run teahouses, offering a warm, welcoming environment.
Accommodation for the Everest Base Camp Trek includes a mix of comfortable lower-altitude lodges and simpler high-altitude teahouses, designed to help you rest and acclimatize.
Each stop offers a distinct stay, from comfortable rooms with private bathrooms to basic lodges that reflect the raw beauty of the Himalayas.
As you follow the classic route, your stay includes:
Tip: Lodges are more comfortable at lower altitudes and become simpler as you ascend.
During the Everest Base Camp trek, teahouse rooms are simple but comfortable, offering essential facilities to help you rest after a long day on the trail.
Amenities may vary by altitude, with better facilities at lower elevations and more basic setups at higher elevations.
Sleeping Arrangements:
Note: We can provide a used sleeping bag for your use if you don’t have your own.
Bathrooms and Toilets:
Hot Showers:
Electricity and Charging:
Wi-Fi and Connectivity:
Water:
Tip: Don’t drink water directly from a river, glacier, tap, or any other untreated water source. Keep in mind that the cost of bottled water will increase as you move higher.
The cost included here is an approximate price. It may vary by season, altitude, and availability.
Lodges are more comfortable at lower altitudes and become simpler as you ascend.
Meals on the Everest Base Camp Trek are simple, warm, and designed to keep you energized. You will enjoy freshly prepared food at teahouses along the trail, providing you with the nutrition for recovery.
We prioritize your ‘Gut Health’ by selecting teahouses with strong hygiene standards. Beyond standard meals, you will receive fresh fruit supplements to boost your stamina.
Our EBC trek package includes 14 breakfasts, 13 lunches, and 13 dinners. All meals are on a full-board basis, including one food item per meal. You can opt for additional food items at an extra cost.
You have several options, including Nepali, Tibetan-influenced (such as momo and chowmein), and Western (pizza, burgers, and sandwiches).
Typically, your day follows a fixed meal pattern, three meals a day: breakfast at your lodge, lunch during the trek, and dinner at your overnight stop.
We encourage having a vegetarian diet as it is the most practical choice for steady energy and digestive comfort at higher elevations.
Breakfast: Oatmeal or porridge is highly recommended as slow-release energy to keep you active throughout the morning trek.
Lunch: Warm, freshly cooked meals at teahouses. This is your main recovery break on the trail, helping you recharge or rehydrate for the afternoon ascent.
Dinner: Meals served in communal wood-stove-heated dining halls. Helps with recovery and acclimatization at high altitude, especially with warm soups like garlic soup.
While you find the variety in the menu, teahouses focus on “Mountain Fuel” foods rich in complex carbohydrates. These foods are easy to digest and maintain steady energy levels, stable throughout 5 – 7 hours of daily trekking.
We opted for Dal Bhaat (Lentil soup, rice, and vegetable curry), which is fresh and nutritious. Most importantly, it comes with free refills, providing a high-carbohydrate energy base.
Other options are:
Tip: Maintain a high-calorie intake, focusing on carbohydrate-rich food at high altitudes. Note that as you go higher, menu options become more limited.
On the Everest Base Camp trek, your choice of drinks plays an equally important role as food in adjusting to the altitude.
Dehydration is a major trigger for altitude sickness, so you should aim to drink 3 to 4 liters of fluid daily.
Warm water is the safest option to keep you hydrated and helps maintain body temperature at high altitudes. You need to add a purification tablet at least 30 minutes before drinking water.
You can go for other options:
Note: Drinks are not covered in your package. You have to plan your budget accordingly.
Modern teahouses are increasingly adaptable to the meals and diet. Whether you are vegan, gluten-free, or have specific nut allergies, lodges can usually accommodate you.
You need to inform your guide about your dietary restrictions or allergies. He will communicate with the cooks at each stop to ensure your meals are prepared accordingly.
A vegetarian diet is the safest and most reliable option throughout the Everest Base Camp trek. You will consistently find Dal Bhat, vegetable curries, noodles, fried rice, and soups at every teahouse along the route.
Other diet options are:
| Diet Type | Availability | What You Can Expect | Recommendation |
| Vegan | Limited (manageable up to Namche, restrictive beyond) | Rice, lentils, potatoes, and plain vegetables; no dairy products; less variety at higher elevations | Works if you stay flexible; carry vegan snacks for higher stops |
| Gluten-Free | Limited but manageable | Rice, potatoes, eggs, Dal Bhat; no dedicated gluten-free kitchens and possible cross-contact | Stick to naturally gluten-free foods, avoid processed items, and clear communication with your guide |
| Non-Vegetarian | Available mainly up to Namche Bazaar | Chicken, eggs, and occasional meat dishes; freshness declines as altitude increases | Not recommended beyond Namche due to storage and digestion risks |
Tip: We encourage having a vegetarian diet as it is the most practical choice for steady energy and digestive comfort at higher elevations.
Food allergies can also be manageable even at higher elevations of the trek. It requires proper awareness and early communication due to basic kitchen setups and limited ingredient labeling.
As a prevention, you should:
We always guide you for food safety, as it plays an important role in avoiding stomach issues during the trek.
As you ascend towards the height, you should consider:
Tips:
We guide you through all the travel documents required for this Everest region trek. Currently, document verification has become more digitized. However, you still need to show physical documents at different checkpoints along the route.
Mainly, you will need two essential documents before starting the trek: a tourist visa and travel insurance.
A travel Visa is the legal entry document for every country. In Nepal, all foreign nationals except Indians require a Nepalese tourist visa.
Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport and major land border crossings.
For a 14-day trek, we advise you to get a 30-day visa ($50 USD) to cover buffer days in case of Lukla flight delays. Please check the immigration details to confirm whether you will receive a visa on arrival.
Other options can be:
To get a visa on arrival, you must carry an application fee, a valid passport with at least 6 months of validity, and passport-sized photos.
Travel Insurance is mandatory for the Everest Base Camp trek, as medical facilities are limited in the mountains. You need to book your policy after booking your trek, and it should cover emergency evacuation and medical treatment at altitude.
Without proper coverage, rescue and medical costs can be very expensive. So ensure your provider is aware you are trekking in the Everest (Khumbu) region and confirm.
You should:
Note: We require a copy of your policy before departure.
We help you handle all the permits and paperwork needed for this 14-day trek.
To enter the Khumbu region and Sagarmatha National Park, you require three specific permits. As of today, the TIMS card is no longer required for this route, replaced by local government fees.
The mandatory three permits are:
Double fees can be charged for permits issued at checkpoints.
Note: Double fees can be charged for permits issued at checkpoints.
Flights to Lukla are highly dependent on weather conditions, which can change quickly in the mountains. Delays and cancellations are common, especially during busy trekking seasons.
It is always wise to keep 1–2 extra days in your itinerary after the trek, as a buffer for a smooth, stressless travel.
Your adventure begins with a direct flight from Kathmandu to Tenzing-Hillary Airport, one of the most exciting parts of the journey. This short flight, located at 2,860 m (9,400 ft.), offers an aerial view of Everest and a dramatic landing experience on a mountain airstrip.
This option is generally available in the off-season, when the air traffic is lower.
During peak trekking seasons, flights are often operated via an alternative route, i.e., Manthali Airport rather than Kathmandu.
You need to start the journey with an early-morning drive to Manthali, followed by a short flight to Lukla. This route is in practice to manage heavy air traffic at the International Airport and improve flight frequency.
Helicopter flights can be arranged for urgent travel or a comfortable alternative to regular Lukla flights. It provides you with a faster and more flexible travel experience when your schedules are tight or regular flights are delayed.
To avoid the five-hour-long drive from Manthali to Kathmandu before the trek, you can fly directly to Lukla.
Helicopters are also a convenient return option, helping you avoid long road transfers.
Due to aircraft limitations, baggage allowance on Lukla flights is strictly controlled. You need to pack light, carrying only essentials for the trek to avoid complications during check-in.
Tips:
Personal expenses on the Everest Base Camp trek depend on your eating and spending habits: tea/coffee intake, Wi-Fi use, charging, and small snacks along the trail. Since the package usually covers major costs, you only need cash for daily extras.
Most trekkers carry enough cash for comfort and flexibility in the Khumbu region. We recommend allocating an average budget of NPR 3,000 - NPR 5,000 $20 – $40 USD per day for your personal spending.
You should consider:
You can easily exchange foreign currency in Kathmandu before starting the trek. Thamel has many licensed money exchange counters offering USD, EUR, GBP, and other major currencies. For up-to-date exchange rates, refer to the Foreign Exchange Rate.
You need to exchange enough cash in Nepali currency (NPR) before flying to Lukla, as ATMs are not reliable in the Everest region.
Keep in mind that:
ATMs are easily available in Kathmandu, so it is best to withdraw most of your trekking cash before the journey begins. You should always carry sufficient backup cash in USD or Nepalese Rupees.
While ATMs are available in Namche Bazaar, they are not dependable due to frequent technical issues, cash shortages, and network problems in high-altitude conditions.
Tip: Please keep in mind that international ATM withdrawals may involve high transaction fees.
The best seasons to trek in the Everest region are pre-monsoon (March–May) and post-monsoon (September–November) for clear skies, mild temperatures, and breathtaking views.
Winter treks are colder and less crowded, while monsoon treks (June–August) are challenging due to heavy rain and slippery trails.
Spring is one of the most popular trekking seasons in the Everest region due to its comfortable weather and green landscape. Your journey is visually rewarding in these months, with blooming rhododendrons and wildflowers.
Autumn is the most reliable season for clear views of mountains and stable trekking conditions. After the monsoon, the air is clean, and visibility is at its best. You can enjoy the panoramic views of Everest and the surrounding peaks.
Winter offers a quieter, more peaceful trekking experience with fewer crowds on the trail. While the cold is more intense, you will be rewarded with an unmatched solitude and crisp mountain scenery.
The summer season brings heavy rainfall at lower elevations, making trails muddy and slippery. You may face flight delays to Lukla.
However, this season highlights a different side of the Everest region with lush, green landscapes.

Each day on the Everest Base Camp trek follows a simple mountain rhythm shaped by altitude and terrain. Your schedule is carefully planned to balance trekking, rest, and acclimatization for a safe and steady ascent.
You wake up in a cold mountain lodge and are welcomed with snow-capped mountain views. After freshening up, you pack your duffel bag for the porter and keep your daypack ready with essentials for the trek ahead.
Your first meal of the day is freshly prepared and energy-focused. Options like a warm cup of tea or coffee, porridge, eggs, or pancakes help fuel you for the morning trekking hours. You begin walking through scenic Himalayan trails, suspension bridges, and small villages.
This is the main trekking period of the day, covering long hours. You walk through ever-changing Himalayan scenery, waterfalls, and changing terrain while maintaining a steady mountain pace.
A relaxed stop at a teahouse where you rest, enjoy warm meals, and recharge. This break helps you recover energy before continuing the afternoon section of the trek.
Afternoons are reserved for continued trekking, often through more challenging terrain as elevations increase. You will be covering a shorter trekking distance on a steeper or quieter trail.
By late afternoon, you reach your overnight lodge in places like Namche Bazaar, Dingboche, or Gorak Shep. After check-in, you can rest, explore nearby areas, or simply relax and charge your devices.
You end the day with a warm communal meal such as Dal Bhat or soup, shared with fellow trekkers in a cozy dining atmosphere. This is your main recovery meal for energy restoration and to be ready for the next day.
After dinner, your guide shares the plan for the next day and checks your oxygen levels and heart rate during acclimatization days. You can then relax, socialize, or enjoy quiet lodge time playing games or learning Nepali words.
Acclimatization is a key part of your Everest journey. Trekking at high altitudes can be physically demanding, and your body needs time to adjust to the thinner air.
Are you scared of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness)?
You don’t have to worry about it. Our guides are trained to recognize early symptoms of AMS and will adjust the pace or route immediately to prioritize your safety over the trek.
Additionally, our itinerary follows the 'Trek Towards High, Sleep at Low' philosophy, featuring two mandatory rest days:
On rest days, we don’t simply relax; we take a 2–3 hour short hike to a nearby higher ridge. From Namche, we ascend to Hotel Everest View before returning to the village for the night. From Dingboche, we hike up to Nangkartshang Peak and then descend back to the village to sleep.
These acclimatization hikes help your body adjust to altitude by stimulating the production of more red blood cells, which is the key to safely reaching 5,364 m. They also offer a chance to immerse yourself in Sherpa culture while enjoying stunning views of Ama Dablam, Island Peak, Cho Oyu, and Makalu.
Beyond physical adjustment, these days provide mental preparation, helping you build confidence and endurance for higher-altitude sections.
Trekking back to Lukla is a time to reflect on your achievement. It is a rewarding mix of physical tiredness and the thrill of reaching Base Camp.
Your final night in Lukla is often spent celebrating with your guides and porters. This is a special time to thank the team who supported you throughout the journey.
At the end of the trek, we organize a farewell night in Kathmandu with a cake-cutting ceremony to celebrate your success. To honor it, we present you with an Official EBC Trek Completion Certificate. This is a proud moment to remember your journey to the base of the world’s highest peak.
We also provide you with our company’s t-shirt and cap as a gift to remember your journey with us.
You can pick up local souvenirs such as handicrafts, prayer flags, or traditional garments as a keepsake. Besides, you can share photos and videos of your journey with fellow trekkers.
Upon returning to Kathmandu, we provide private transfers back to your hotel. On your final departure day, we will pick you up from your hotel in a private vehicle.
You need to send us your details beforehand, and we will receive you precisely three hours before your international flight to ensure you have plenty of time for check-in and security.
The Everest Base Camp trek is one of the most popular trekking experiences, generally considered moderate to challenging. You do not need technical climbing skills, but it demands mental endurance, proper preparation, and a physically fit body.
The main challenges come from long trekking hours (5 – 7 hours daily) to cover the everyday trekking distance on the EBC Trek, steep uphill and downhill trails, and high-altitude conditions.
Key factors that affect EBC difficulty:
Tip: With proper training, pacing, and acclimatization, most fit individuals can complete the trek.
Everest Base Camp is located at an altitude of 5,364 meters (17,598 ft) above sea level in the Khumbu region of Nepal. At this height, the level of oxygen is nearly 50% lower than at sea level, which slows your movement and increases fatigue even over short distances.
You need to consider:
Tip: The altitude gain is the biggest challenge of the trek, not the distance or terrain.
The Everest Base Camp trek can be completed by a wide range of age groups, as long as you are in good health and adequately prepared. Many trekkers in their 50s, 60s, and even beyond complete the journey every year.
What to expect by age group:
Important factors for all age groups:
Tip: With proper preparation and expert guidance, age is not a limitation when trekking to Everest Base Camp.
You should start preparing at least 3 months before the Everest Base Camp trek. While the trek is challenging, a good level of physical fitness is essential due to long walking days, steep ascents, and high-altitude conditions.
To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable journey, you can start to prepare in advance by building strength, endurance, and stamina.
Before the trek, you can focus on:
Our Everest Base Camp trek package cost is designed to offer flexibility based on your group size, ensuring a fully private Himalayan experience.
With a 14-day guided EBC journey, your package includes domestic flights, trekking permits, teahouse accommodation, an experienced team, and transport. So you can enjoy the trek entirely, focusing on the adventure.
According to your group size, you may also be eligible for additional discounts.
| Group Size | Cost Per Person (USD) | Notes |
| Small group (2 – 3 Trekkers) | $1330 | Best for travellers seeking a private, flexible, and personalized trekking experience |
| Medium group (4 – 7 Trekkers) | $1280 | Ideal balance of value and comfort, with shared logistics and smooth coordination. |
| Large group (8 – 13 Trekkers) | $1230 | More cost-efficient option with well-managed group services and reliable support. |
| Very Large group (14 – 21 Trekkers) | $1180 | Excellent value for organized groups, the most economical choice with reduced per-person operational cost. |
Tip: Pricing may vary depending on flight demand to Lukla, seasonal availability, and accommodation pressure during peak trekking seasons (spring and autumn). Booking early helps you to secure better rates and preferred trekking dates.
Currently, the Nepal Tourism Board prohibits solo trekking in the Everest region. They strictly mandate that a licensed guide must accompany all trekkers in the Khumbu region.
Our guides are experts in mountain safety and Sherpa culture. They are certified by the Nepal Mountain Academy and have extensive training in High Altitude Medicine (WFR).
Our porters are local to the region, ensuring they are naturally acclimated to the terrain and well acquainted with it.
Note: We pride ourselves on fair wages, proper insurance, and providing high-quality gear for our mountain crew.
In Nepali culture, a tip is an honoured way to say thank you (Dhanyabad) for good service. And so naturally, those working in tourism look forward to receiving tips from clients.
There is no set tip amount; it is entirely a personal preference. You can tip accordingly based on your experience and satisfaction.
Generally, we advise collecting a tip amount at the end of the trek and dividing it among guides, porters, and the support team.
Note: Trekking crews rely on tips to supplement their incomes. They hope that their hard work and service will be rewarded with generous tips.
We prioritise ethical trekking and fair working conditions for our team. While it is common in the industry for porters to carry heavy loads, we strictly adhere to a maximum weight of 18 kg (approx. 40 lbs) per porter.
This means one porter is shared between two trekkers and carries only one combined bag, either a duffel bag or a rucksack (50 or 60 liters). If you do not have a duffel bag, we can provide one, allowing you to pack up to 9 kg (approx 20 lbs) of personal belongings each with your trekking partner.
You will only have access to your main luggage in the evening when you reach your lodge. Therefore, you should carry your daily essentials in a daypack.
| Category | Essential Items for Your Daypack |
| Hydration | At least 2–3 litres of water (bladder or bottles) and purification tablets/Steripen. |
| Clothing | A lightweight down jacket, a waterproof shell, a spare pair of socks, and a raincoat. |
| Sun protection | High-SPF Sunscreen, lip balm with SPF, polarized sunglasses, and a hat. |
| First Aid | Personal first-aid kit, blister tape, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper. |
| Energy | High-calorie snacks (nuts, chocolate, or energy bars) to sustain you between meals. |
| Valuables | Passport, cash (NPR), camera, power bank, charger, and your mobile phone. |
Before your trek begins, we recommend organising your belongings into two parts for maximum convenience.
For your ease, we provide free, secure luggage storage at our office in Kathmandu. All belongings are carefully labelled, recorded, and safely locked in a designated storage until you return from your trek.
In addition, many hotels in Kathmandu offer complimentary luggage storage services. You may also consider this option for added convenience.
Standing at the base of Mount Everest (8848.86 m) is a transformative experience that stays with you for life. It combines high-altitude adventure, Sherpa culture, and close-up views of the world’s tallest peaks in a single route.
The Everest Base Camp trek passes through old Sherpa villages that lie directly on the Everest expedition route. These settlements reflect a lifestyle deeply connected to Buddhism and high-altitude mountain living.
Traditional clothing in the Khumbu region reflects Sherpa culture, Tibetan Buddhist influence, and the need for survival in extreme high-altitude conditions.
Tengboche Monastery is the most important spiritual stop on the Everest Base Camp trail. It lies at 3,867 meters with direct views of Ama Dablam and surrounding peaks.
From the mid-point of the trek, Mount Everest comes into view and stays visible throughout the higher sections. The scenery improves with every day of trekking as you move closer to Base Camp.
The landscape changes completely as you move higher on the Everest Base Camp trek. It transitions from forests to alpine valleys and finally to glacier terrain. Each altitude zone supports unique plant and animal life adapted to extreme mountain conditions.
Flora (Plant Life)
Fauna (Wild Life)
In the Everest (Khumbu) region, everyday life reflects a unique balance between survival in a high-altitude environment and a deeply rooted Sherpa Buddhist culture.
You will see that the villages function around farming, tourism, and spiritual practices, while festivals add rhythm and meaning to their community life.
Daily Life
People in the Everest Region celebrate the following festivals and rituals:
Note: These regular festivals or practices bring together monks, Sherpa families, and visitors in shared spiritual celebration. It maintains harmony, protection, and blessings in Sherpa life
We prioritize your safety. Our guides are trained in wilderness first aid and ecological conservation. They carry a comprehensive medical kit, including oximeters and portable oxygen for emergencies.
Altitude sickness is one of the main challenges of the Everest Base Camp trek. It can affect anyone, regardless of age or fitness level, when the body does not adjust well to the lower oxygen levels at high altitude.
You may start experiencing mild symptoms such as:
The best way to reduce the risk is to ascend gradually, stay hydrated, eat well, and follow the planned acclimatization days. Our itinerary includes acclimatization stops in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, with short hikes to higher elevations before returning to sleep at a lower altitude.
Our guides monitor your condition throughout the trek and can adjust the walking pace, arrange additional rest, or recommend descent if symptoms worsen. Never continue ascending if your symptoms are getting worse.
Note: If severe symptoms develop, such as difficulty breathing at rest, confusion, inability to walk properly, or severe weakness, immediate descent and medical assistance are required. In serious cases, we can coordinate emergency helicopter evacuation.
In the rare event of severe Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), specifically HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema) or HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema), time is the most critical factor.
We maintain a 24/7 standby coordination team in Kathmandu that works directly with leading helicopter operators and your insurance provider.
As soon as your guide signals an emergency, we initiate a rescue mission to airlift you to a high-quality hospital in Kathmandu for immediate treatment.
While the Everest region is remote, it has some of the high-altitude medical centers. Clinics in key stops like Namche Bazaar and Pheriche are staffed seasonally by volunteer Western doctors through the Himalayan Rescue Association.
These clinics provide treatment for common trekking issues, minor injuries, digestive problems, and altitude-related conditions, offering an important medical safety net during peak trekking seasons.
We provide:
Note: You are advised to carry your own personal medications and any prescribed medicines.
Staying connected is important for coordination and safety. Our guides are equipped with a dual-redundancy communication system. Local mobile networks for regular updates and satellite devices in areas with “dead zones” or extreme weather.
This ensures that our Kathmandu headquarters receives a daily status report on your health, oxygen levels, and your progress.
Tip: Network coverage becomes "spotty" after Dingboche; don't rely on your personal phone for safety. You can trust your guide's professional equipment.
Once we receive the payment, your booking will be confirmed immediately. To confirm your booking, a 10% deposit of the total trip cost is required, which can be paid through various international payment gateways.
Following confirmation, we kindly request that you send your passport copy as soon as possible, even if other documents take time to prepare. It will help us start preparing for the trek, including the permit, accommodation, and travel.
Since limited flights are flying to Lukla, early submission helps us secure your flight and speeds up the overall booking process.

Note: Please add our number, +977-9840055491, on WhatsApp, or share your contact number so we can communicate smoothly.
The remaining payment, you can pay at the time of a small briefing at our Kathmandu office. We opt for cash (USD or NPR) payment.
We specialize in 100% private treks, unlike budget operators who combine strangers into one group. This means your trek is designed around your own space, comfort, and pace.
Whether you want extra time for photography in Tengboche or need an additional acclimatization day, the itinerary remains flexible to suit your needs.
For groups of two or more, you will have a dedicated guide and porter team focused entirely on your safety, support, and satisfaction.

All transactions are transparent, and you will receive an immediate digital invoice and confirmation for your records.
Life is unpredictable, and sometimes the best adventures are unplanned.
We are fully equipped to handle flexible and spontaneous trekking plans. We offer last-minute arrangements for those already in Kathmandu or planning a trip within 48–72 hours.
While subject to Lukla flight availability, we will coordinate to secure seats and permits through local networks.
Key Details:
Tip: While we prefer 30 days' notice for permits and Lukla flights, we can often arrange "Last-Minute" treks with 48 to 72 hours' notice if flight space is available.
We understand the Himalayan Weather, so our policy includes built-in flexibility. We monitor flight statuses in real time and can offer flexible rescheduling or assist with arranging a helicopter swap to keep your itinerary on track.
We can adjust the date and schedule during the trek, taking into account your health condition and the need for a safer experience at high altitude.
It means:
The Everest Base Camp trek itinerary can be extended with additional days for acclimatization, exploration, or optional side hikes in the Everest region.
You can:
If the standard 14–day itinerary does not match your schedule or preference, we offer alternative routes and durations.
| Package | Duration | Notes |
| Short Everest Base Camp Trek | 10 days | A faster itinerary designed for those with limited time, covering key highlights with a tighter schedule. Trek to Base Camp and fly back to Kathmandu from Lukla. |
| Mount Everest Base Camp Trek | 12 days | A slightly shorter itinerary version of the classic 14-Day EBC Trek. |
| Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes | 15 days | Combines EBC with Gokyo Lakes for more diverse scenery and additional viewpoints. Includes the turquoise lakes and the challenging Cho La Pass. |
| Everest View Trek | 7 days | A shorter, easier trek to Namche and Tengboche for those with limited time. No need for acclimatization days and high-altitude camping. |
The Khumbu region is a fragile high-altitude environment, and trekking here comes with a strong responsibility to protect it.
We follow a strict “Carry Me Back” policy, ensuring all waste generated by our groups is properly managed and disposed of at designated points in Namche or Lukla.
We also support the “Sagarmatha Next” initiative, which helps transport waste back to Kathmandu via return flights, reducing plastic burning and landfill use in the Khumbu region.
