Everest Base Camp Trek has everything that any adventure lover would go for. The trekking adventure, also poplar as EBC Trek, offers a picturesque view of the Himalayas with the dense forests covered by a blanket of Red Rhododendrons. It offers warm and caring Sherpa families, and an adventure of a lifetime. So, trekking to the Everest Base Camp is a combination of adventure and cultural experience.

The most common way to get into the Everest for the trek is to take a flight to Lukla either from Kathmandu or from Ramechhap. Most of the flights to Lukla during high trekking seaons go from Ramechhap airport which is about 4-5 hours drive from Kathmandu. If you have a longer holiday and want to trek longer in the region, you can drive to Salleri and start trekking to the base camp. Check this package here for the details.

Everest Base Camp Trek: An Adventure of a Lifetime

During the Everest base camp trek, we walk through the same trail that was once stepped on by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary on their ascent to Mount Everest. Your sheer presence on the trail is an experience of a lifetime. The similar flow towards the summit of the majestic peak gave rise to various possibilities among the adventure-seekers.

Trekking to Everest base camp has become an absolutely perfect adventure for those who are seeking closeness with nature, fun, thrill, and adventure at the same time in the wilderness of the mountains.

As the trek progresses, you can see the majestic view of Mount Everest, in addition to other mountains, towering right infront of you. You will also find other attractions like the ancient Tengboche monastery, the famous Everest Base Camp, the beautiful Khumbu Icefall, and Kalapatthar. Kalapatthar is one of the best viewpoints in the Everest region.

If you want to go on a short Everest base camp trek, this is the ideal package for you.

Best Time for Everest Base Camp Trek

Although Everest Base Camp Trek is doable throughout the year, the most favorable seasons are autumn and spring. The Spring season in Nepal falls in the months of March to May and the autumn season falls in the months of September to November.

During autumn, one can experience excellent weather and breathtaking mountain sceneries while during the spring, varying species of wildflowers, especially Red Rhododendron, make the trekking trail surreal.

Everest Base Camp Trekking Permit

You will need to obtain a permit to be in the mountains. Some of the trekking areas require you to get a special permit. However, the Everest base camp trek needs a normal and regular permit for trekking in the region. This trek permit is also called the Everest National Park permit. Without this permit, you will not be allowed to trek in this region. The permit cost is USD 30 to get an Everest base camp trekking permit.

You will need TIMS card, national park permits and local government royalty to trek to the Everest base camp. However, all such costs will be covered when you book our package.

Everest Base Camp Trekking Route 

The Everest Base Camp Trek starts from Lukla, after taking a flight from Kathmandu or Ramechhap. The trail from Lukla extends to Phakding along the Dudh Koshi river valley and then to Namche Bazaar. On the way ahead, a breathtaking view of Everest flashes a smile at you from the premises of Tengboche monastery.

On walking downwards to the village of Pangboche and upwards to Dingboche, one can get acquainted with the local culture and traditions of the Sherpa people. Then following the Khumbu glacier, we will reach Lobuche from where we can enjoy the view of mountain peaks such as Ama Dablam, Tawache, etc.

The next destination will be Gorakhsep from where we can move towards the Everest Base Camp - the ultimate destination on the trip.

You may also trek to the Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes. And if you want to explore just the Gokyo Lakes, you can check her.

Although the ultimate destination of most of the trekking adventures in Everest is the base camp, there are different ways to reach there. The most common route that people take these days is from Lukla which advances towards the base camp via Dingboche.

However, some trekkers also choose to go through Gokyo Lakes and Cho La Pass and reach the base camp eventually.

Some of the trekkers also choose to start the trek from Jiri instead of Lukla. Starting a trek from Jiri is what people used to do before the airport in Lukla was established. Thus, people call this trek also by the name classic Everest base camp trek. The adventure needs an additional week to what you need to start the trek from Lukla.

Your Guide and Team of Porters

As an organized trekking adventure package, you will have a professional guide leading you to the Everest base camp. The guide will ensure that your trip is safe and make it a fun and beautiful adventure. All our guides have been to different regions of the Himalayas leading and guiding trekkers for many years.

You will also have a team of porters carrying your backpack in the mountains. A porter carries the backpacks of two trekkers and up to 20 kg only. So, when you pack your backpack, you need to make sure it doesn't exceed 10 kg each.

Itinerary

Open All Close All

The Standard itinerary for this trip is here. We can customize it according to your interest

The first day of your adventure trip to the Everest Base Camp starts with your arrival to Kathmandu. Our company representative will welcome you at the airport on your arrival. He will transfer you to the hotel where you can find an easy time to relax after checking in. We will meet you in the evening at the hotel to talk about the trip in details. Any questions you may have regarding your trip will be discussed so that you are well-prepared for the trip.
We have an early morning flight to Lukla today. So, we drive to the airport for an exciting Himalayan flight to the gateway to the Everest region. A wonderful flight on a small airplane takes us to the beautiful town of Lukla with the views of stunning mountains.

Please note that the flight to Lukla these days are operated from Kathmandu and Ramechhap and during the high trekking seasons, most of the flights take off from Ramechhap. To fly from Ramechhap, we need to drive 4-5 hours from Kathmandu.

After landing at Lukla, we meet our whole trekking crew and get ready to walk for the day. It is an easy start of the walk of the adventure trek to the Everest Base Camp. We are going to trek to Phakding village on the bank of the Dudh Koshi River. Around four hours of trek introduces us to the trail, surroundings, nature, and the views of mountains in the Everest region. The atmosphere of our overnight site, Phakding, feels amazing on the bank of the gushing river.
The second day of the walk today takes us to the beautiful and famous Sherpa town of Namche Bazar at the elevation of 3,440 meters above sea level. Almost all uphill walk for the day takes us past beautiful natural surroundings of nature and the view of mountains. As we enter the Sagarmatha National Park today, we will also walk over several suspension bridges over the gushing river.
Finally, we reach Namche Bazar after the walk of around six hours. The view of the mountains and wonderful surroundings of Namche Bazar helps us relax and settle. We take it easy to acclimatize well at the changing climatic situation and elevation.
We have an extra day stopover at Namche Bazar today that will help us acclimatize well before we head further higher. Namche Bazar has beautiful places in the surroundings where we can go for day hiking and exploration instead of staying idle at the lodge and bazaar. The hiking exploration for the day will also help us get better acclimatized and we become ready to trek to the higher elevation.
As we are getting used to with the thinning air of the higher elevation, we prepare to trek to the next place. Our walk for the day in the region takes us to Tengboche village that is famous for its beautiful monastery and the view of mountains like Ama Dablam it provides. Around seven hours of the walk takes us up and down the mountains and through stream and nature with a view to the destination.
We will have time to explore the beautiful Tengboche Monastery and its surroundings after settling into the lodge.
We continue further higher on our trek and the trek today takes us to Dingboche to stay overnight. When we reach the overnight destination today, we will already be at the elevation of 4,410 meters above sea level. Another beautiful day of trekking through local settlements and natural surroundings has so many beautiful things to enjoy. From lush nature to changing the landscapes to the wonderful culture and lifestyle of the Sherpa people living in the region is simply awesome.
It is time to take another acclimatization day before we trek further higher towards the base camp of the highest mountain in the world. We again go, like at Namche Bazar, for a hiking trip to the surrounding destinations. The exploration today will bring us some spectacular views of the mountains and surrounding landscapes. We will spend day hiking and exploring the surroundings of Dingboche.
Time to trek to another destination. We start early and walk through the glacial path on the famous Khumbu glacier today towards Lobuche as our destination for the day. The landscape changes drastically and the wilderness grows to a more peaceful and magnificent one. We will walk through the trail that’s filled with huge boulders and moraine.
We will also feel the oxygen level growing thinner as we trek higher. Slowly but ultimately, we will make it to Lobuche to stay overnight. The beautiful surroundings of Lobuche help us feel better after we check into the guest house.
Finally, the most exciting day of the trip has arrived.
We are going to be at the base camp of Mt. Everest and enjoy the blissful moments there. We will trek towards Gorakshep that is our overnight stop for the day and check into a lodge before heading to the base camp. The walk to the Everest base camp starts after relishing our lunch at the highest overnight site for the trip, Gorakshep.
Eventually, we will reach the famous Everest Base Camp and enjoy the overwhelmingly beautiful surroundings of the base camp and spend some beautiful moments there. Later, we will to trek back to Gorakshep to stay overnight. The day has brought us to the base camp of the highest mountain in the world.
Although every day of the adventure trek to the Everest base camp is exciting, we are due another incredibly exciting moment of the trip. The early morning hiking trip to the Kalapatthar viewpoint is what we are looking forward to early in the morning. Our early morning effort to hike to the highest elevation of the trek is worth going for. The panoramic view of the Mt. Everest and other mountains in the surroundings is simply breathtaking. We will also get to enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the mountains.
Later, we hike back down to Gorakshep to have breakfast and trek further down to Pheriche to stay overnight. Pheriche is a famous overnight stop for trekkers for the day. 
Our walking journey in the Everest region continues back towards Namche bazar today. The peaceful natural surroundings and decreasing elevation make us feel better and easier to continue the trek.
This is the last day of the trek and we traverse the trail all the way to Lukla from Namche Bazar. Once we reach Lukla and check into the lodge, we will take an easy time to explore and wander around the place.
It has been an amazing adventure to the Everest base camp and thanks to the whole team who made the adventure safe and an awesome experience. We befriended people, mountains, nature and breathtaking surroundings that have left an incredible impression and experience.
We take a flight back either to Kathmandu or to Ramechhap. If we fly to Kathmandu, we will have some free time to enjoy our afternoon in Kathmnadu. But if we fly to Ramechhap, we will drive to Kathmandu and spend the evening at leisure.
We are on the final day of the trip and we will drive you to the airport for your departure flight. Please let us know if you have some extra days to spend in Nepal after the trip is over.

United States

I and my friend trekked to Everest base camp with this company and we were dumbfounded to go through the experience. It was not only the view of the mountains and nature but the service we received was beyond our expectations. From day one in Kathmandu, we felt welcomed and comfortable with the company. Basu explained what to expect so well that we were confident enough to start the trek and quite sure that we were going to enjoy the adventure. And it turned out to be much more than our expectations.

Our guide and porter were friendly and professional and knew what they were doing. We felt safe and comfortable in their hands. So lovely people they were.

We thoroughly enjoyed the trek and it is a memorable experience that we will cherish. And we can't recommend it enough to others to choose Basu and his company to organize your trek in Nepal.

Everest Base Camp Trek has everything that any adventure lover would go for. The trekking adventure, also poplar as EBC Trek, offers a picturesque view of the Himalayas with the dense forests covered by a blanket of Red Rhododendrons. It offers warm and caring Sherpa families, and an adventure of a lifetime. So, trekking to the Everest Base Camp is a combination of adventure and cultural experience.

The most common way to get into the Everest for the trek is to take a flight to Lukla either from Kathmandu or from Ramechhap. Most of the flights to Lukla during high trekking seaons go from Ramechhap airport which is about 4-5 hours drive from Kathmandu. If you have a longer holiday and want to trek longer in the region, you can drive to Salleri and start trekking to the base camp. Check this package here for the details.

Everest Base Camp Trek: An Adventure of a Lifetime

During the Everest base camp trek, we walk through the same trail that was once stepped on by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary on their ascent to Mount Everest. Your sheer presence on the trail is an experience of a lifetime. The similar flow towards the summit of the majestic peak gave rise to various possibilities among the adventure-seekers.

Trekking to Everest base camp has become an absolutely perfect adventure for those who are seeking closeness with nature, fun, thrill, and adventure at the same time in the wilderness of the mountains.

As the trek progresses, you can see the majestic view of Mount Everest, in addition to other mountains, towering right infront of you. You will also find other attractions like the ancient Tengboche monastery, the famous Everest Base Camp, the beautiful Khumbu Icefall, and Kalapatthar. Kalapatthar is one of the best viewpoints in the Everest region.

If you want to go on a short Everest base camp trek, this is the ideal package for you.

Best Time for Everest Base Camp Trek

Although Everest Base Camp Trek is doable throughout the year, the most favorable seasons are autumn and spring. The Spring season in Nepal falls in the months of March to May and the autumn season falls in the months of September to November.

During autumn, one can experience excellent weather and breathtaking mountain sceneries while during the spring, varying species of wildflowers, especially Red Rhododendron, make the trekking trail surreal.

Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty Level

Everest Base Camp Trekking Permit

You will need to obtain a permit to be in the mountains. Some of the trekking areas require you to get a special permit. However, the Everest base camp trek needs a normal and regular permit for trekking in the region. This trek permit is also called the Everest National Park permit. Without this permit, you will not be allowed to trek in this region. The permit cost is USD 30 to get an Everest base camp trekking permit.

You will need TIMS card, national park permits and local government royalty to trek to the Everest base camp. However, all such costs will be covered when you book our package.

Everest Base Camp Trekking Route 

The Everest Base Camp Trek starts from Lukla, after taking a flight from Kathmandu or Ramechhap. The trail from Lukla extends to Phakding along the Dudh Koshi river valley and then to Namche Bazaar. On the way ahead, a breathtaking view of Everest flashes a smile at you from the premises of Tengboche monastery.

On walking downwards to the village of Pangboche and upwards to Dingboche, one can get acquainted with the local culture and traditions of the Sherpa people. Then following the Khumbu glacier, we will reach Lobuche from where we can enjoy the view of mountain peaks such as Ama Dablam, Tawache, etc.

The next destination will be Gorakhsep from where we can move towards the Everest Base Camp - the ultimate destination on the trip.

You may also trek to the Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes. And if you want to explore just the Gokyo Lakes, you can check her.

Although the ultimate destination of most of the trekking adventures in Everest is the base camp, there are different ways to reach there. The most common route that people take these days is from Lukla which advances towards the base camp via Dingboche.

However, some trekkers also choose to go through Gokyo Lakes and Cho La Pass and reach the base camp eventually.

Some of the trekkers also choose to start the trek from Jiri instead of Lukla. Starting a trek from Jiri is what people used to do before the airport in Lukla was established. Thus, people call this trek also by the name classic Everest base camp trek. The adventure needs an additional week to what you need to start the trek from Lukla.

Your Guide and Team of Porters

As an organized trekking adventure package, you will have a professional guide leading you to the Everest base camp. The guide will ensure that your trip is safe and make it a fun and beautiful adventure. All our guides have been to different regions of the Himalayas leading and guiding trekkers for many years.

You will also have a team of porters carrying your backpack in the mountains. A porter carries the backpacks of two trekkers and up to 20 kg only. So, when you pack your backpack, you need to make sure it doesn't exceed 10 kg each.

He will transfer you to the hotel where you can find an easy time to relax after checking in. We will meet you in the evening at the hotel to talk about the trip in details. Any questions you may have regarding your trip will be discussed so that you are well-prepared for the trip.
Day 2: Fly to Lukla (2,860m) - Phakding (2,660m)
We have an early morning flight to Lukla today. So, we drive to the airport for an exciting Himalayan flight to the gateway to the Everest region. A wonderful flight on a small airplane takes us to the beautiful town of Lukla with the views of stunning mountains.

Please note that the flight to Lukla these days are operated from Kathmandu and Ramechhap and during the high trekking seasons, most of the flights take off from Ramechhap. To fly from Ramechhap, we need to drive 4-5 hours from Kathmandu.

After landing at Lukla, we meet our whole trekking crew and get ready to walk for the day. It is an easy start of the walk of the adventure trek to the Everest Base Camp. We are going to trek to Phakding village on the bank of the Dudh Koshi River. Around four hours of trek introduces us to the trail, surroundings, nature, and the views of mountains in the Everest region. The atmosphere of our overnight site, Phakding, feels amazing on the bank of the gushing river.
Day 3: Phakding - Namche Bazar (3,440m)
The second day of the walk today takes us to the beautiful and famous Sherpa town of Namche Bazar at the elevation of 3,440 meters above sea level. Almost all uphill walk for the day takes us past beautiful natural surroundings of nature and the view of mountains. As we enter the Sagarmatha National Park today, we will also walk over several suspension bridges over the gushing river.
Finally, we reach Namche Bazar after the walk of around six hours. The view of the mountains and wonderful surroundings of Namche Bazar helps us relax and settle. We take it easy to acclimatize well at the changing climatic situation and elevation.
Day 4: Acclimatization Day
We have an extra day stopover at Namche Bazar today that will help us acclimatize well before we head further higher. Namche Bazar has beautiful places in the surroundings where we can go for day hiking and exploration instead of staying idle at the lodge and bazaar. The hiking exploration for the day will also help us get better acclimatized and we become ready to trek to the higher elevation.
Day 5: Namche Bazar - Tengboche (3,860m)
As we are getting used to with the thinning air of the higher elevation, we prepare to trek to the next place. Our walk for the day in the region takes us to Tengboche village that is famous for its beautiful monastery and the view of mountains like Ama Dablam it provides. Around seven hours of the walk takes us up and down the mountains and through stream and nature with a view to the destination.
We will have time to explore the beautiful Tengboche Monastery and its surroundings after settling into the lodge.
Day 6: Tengboche - Dingboche (4,410m)
We continue further higher on our trek and the trek today takes us to Dingboche to stay overnight. When we reach the overnight destination today, we will already be at the elevation of 4,410 meters above sea level. Another beautiful day of trekking through local settlements and natural surroundings has so many beautiful things to enjoy. From lush nature to changing the landscapes to the wonderful culture and lifestyle of the Sherpa people living in the region is simply awesome.
Day 7: Acclimatization Day
It is time to take another acclimatization day before we trek further higher towards the base camp of the highest mountain in the world. We again go, like at Namche Bazar, for a hiking trip to the surrounding destinations. The exploration today will bring us some spectacular views of the mountains and surrounding landscapes. We will spend day hiking and exploring the surroundings of Dingboche.
Day 8: Dingboche - Lobuche (4,910m)
Time to trek to another destination. We start early and walk through the glacial path on the famous Khumbu glacier today towards Lobuche as our destination for the day. The landscape changes drastically and the wilderness grows to a more peaceful and magnificent one. We will walk through the trail that’s filled with huge boulders and moraine.
We will also feel the oxygen level growing thinner as we trek higher. Slowly but ultimately, we will make it to Lobuche to stay overnight. The beautiful surroundings of Lobuche help us feel better after we check into the guest house.
Day 9: Lobuche - Gorakshep (5,164m) - Everest Base Camp (5,364m)
Finally, the most exciting day of the trip has arrived.
We are going to be at the base camp of Mt. Everest and enjoy the blissful moments there. We will trek towards Gorakshep that is our overnight stop for the day and check into a lodge before heading to the base camp. The walk to the Everest base camp starts after relishing our lunch at the highest overnight site for the trip, Gorakshep.
Eventually, we will reach the famous Everest Base Camp and enjoy the overwhelmingly beautiful surroundings of the base camp and spend some beautiful moments there. Later, we will to trek back to Gorakshep to stay overnight. The day has brought us to the base camp of the highest mountain in the world.
Day 10: Gorakshep - Kalapatthar (5,545m) - Pheriche (4,371m)
Although every day of the adventure trek to the Everest base camp is exciting, we are due another incredibly exciting moment of the trip. The early morning hiking trip to the Kalapatthar viewpoint is what we are looking forward to early in the morning. Our early morning effort to hike to the highest elevation of the trek is worth going for. The panoramic view of the Mt. Everest and other mountains in the surroundings is simply breathtaking. We will also get to enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the mountains.
Later, we hike back down to Gorakshep to have breakfast and trek further down to Pheriche to stay overnight. Pheriche is a famous overnight stop for trekkers for the day. 
Day 11: Pheriche - Namche Bazar (3,440m)
Our walking journey in the Everest region continues back towards Namche bazar today. The peaceful natural surroundings and decreasing elevation make us feel better and easier to continue the trek.
Day 12: Namche Bazar - Lukla (2,860m)
This is the last day of the trek and we traverse the trail all the way to Lukla from Namche Bazar. Once we reach Lukla and check into the lodge, we will take an easy time to explore and wander around the place.
It has been an amazing adventure to the Everest base camp and thanks to the whole team who made the adventure safe and an awesome experience. We befriended people, mountains, nature and breathtaking surroundings that have left an incredible impression and experience.
Day 13: Lukla - Kathmandu
We take a flight back either to Kathmandu or to Ramechhap. If we fly to Kathmandu, we will have some free time to enjoy our afternoon in Kathmnadu. But if we fly to Ramechhap, we will drive to Kathmandu and spend the evening at leisure.

I and my friend trekked to Everest base camp with this company and we were dumbfounded to go through the experience. It was not only the view of the mountains and nature but the service we received was beyond our expectations. From day one in Kathmandu, we felt welcomed and comfortable with the company. Basu explained what to expect so well that we were confident enough to start the trek and quite sure that we were going to enjoy the adventure. And it turned out to be much more than our expectations. Our guide and porter were friendly and professional and knew what they were doing. We felt safe and comfortable in their hands. So lovely people they were. We thoroughly enjoyed the trek and it is a memorable experience that we will cherish. And we can't recommend it enough to others to choose Basu and his company to organize your trek in Nepal.
