Everest Base Camp Trek - Trip Overview

There's nothing heavenly than being close to nature and surrounded by mountains. On top, multiple days hike on the rugged landscape, diverse vegetation, and companions makes the tour special. Such a wonder of nature is Mount Everest in Nepal. Everest Base Camp trekking is one of the best high-altitude trekking in the world, and it gives us a chance to be close to feel the elegance of the world’s tallest mountains.

It was a beyond belief act by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hilary in 1953 to successfully summit Everest. That expedition became history, and it changed the fortune of Khumbu forever. Since then, Everest Base Camp trekking and Everest expeditions have been popular high altitude adventures. Those who can climb choose expeditions. Those who want to behold Everest from the close point opt for the standard 12 days Everest Base Camp Trek.

Every Spring and Autumn, around 40,000 trekkers, guides, and porters scale the Everest Base Camp Trek route. It is a staggering number of travellers compared to other prominent trekking destinations in Nepal. So, what makes the Everest Base Camp Trek and Khumbu a bucket list for every travel enthusiast?

It's an ideal place for mountaineering activities. Four of fourteen world's highest peaks are visible from Everest Base Camp. Countless mountains, peaks, glaciers, icefalls, and ridges are visible from the Everest trek route. Also, trekking to Gokyo valley, Gokyo Ri, gives the eternal joy of the Everest region. For trekkers, they can scale every corner to Kala Patthar on foot. Also, we offer you 6000 metres of peak climbing packages. You can complete the Everest Base Camp trek first and then climb Island Peak, Mera Peak, and several other peaks. 

Everest base camp trekking for 12 days is to sightsee the majestic mountains. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam, and Makalu are the best and most visible throughout the Everest trekking trail. While viewing from the Kala Patthar and Gokyo Ri viewpoints, these mountains look spectacular. Pumori, Lobuche, and Khombu Tse are also utter elegant mountains. Besides, the glacial lakes like Chola Tsho, Gokyo Lakes, and pristine Dudh Koshi stream are majestic. The two giant peaks of Khumbu, Khumbila, and Tawoche,  are best when viewed from Namche Bazar. These aesthetic landscapes are once in a lifetime. Thus, these elegant landscapes lure thousands of trekkers and climbers.

Everest Base Camp Trek - Itinerary Overview

Our 12-day standard Everest Base Camp trekking starts with a scenic flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. Also, if you want a helicopter flight to Lukla instead of regular flights, we can arrange it for you. But, you have to inform us before joining the group. After breakfast at Lukla, we'll start our day hike to Phakding. We'll hike through the beautiful settlements, cross suspension bridges, walk along with lush forests, etc. 

On the next day, we'll hike to Jorsalle for lunch and climb to Namche Bazar for two hours. The highest suspension bridge over the Dudh Koshi river gives you a thrill. We'll stay at Namche Bazar for another day acclimatising. We'll hike to the Everest View Hotel at 3880 metres, from where you'll get the first glances of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, etc. 

To continue walking, we'll hike to Tengboche, Dingboche, and Thugla. We'll acclimatise at Thugla for the remaining day as it is only 2 hours from Dingboche. For the next day, we'll hike to Lobuche. From here, you'll get the actual glimpses of all the prominent peaks of Khumbu. Lobuche also hosts a memorial burial for deceased Everest climbers who never made it to the summit or base camp on return. 

We'll reach Gorak Shep and hike down to Everest Base Camp from Lobuche for four hours. The mesmerising view of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam makes the day hike tireless. Here, we'll walk on snow and rocky terrain. The pure joy of walking over the Himalayan terrain makes you celebrate this feat. For the next day's sunrise sightseeing, we'll hike to Kala Patthar's viewpoint from Gorak Shep. We'll start an early morning hike to see the glittering sun pouring over the majestic mountains. The mountains at early sunrise are the best thing to witness. Words can't describe every moment of your Everest Base Camp trekking. 

Accommodation in Everest Base Camp trek

Everest Base Camp trek is tea house-based trekking. We'll stay at the best available lodges for 9 days of Everest trekking. We'll make your accommodation at the best tea houses throughout this trek. But, the internet, hot water, and hot shower are exclusive to the Everest Base Camp trekking package. During mid-Everest trekking season, you may have to share the room on twin sharing basis. The food items will be less luxurious as we climb above 4,500 metres. So, there will be a handful of items on the menu to select. You can order Pizza, Noodles Soup, Dal Bhat, and many other meals. Inform our tour manager beforehand if you have allergies to any food items or want to include some diet on your meals. 

In Kathmandu, you'll get a three-star hotel for accommodation. Here, you can demand the luxury service you want.

If you can manage a couple of valley floor to ridgeline ascents per comfortable and able to enjoy the trek to the fullest. They are physically strong, sharp-witted and have an incredibly positive attitude towards a life that we would consider extremely tough. There is something about a trek in the Himalaya that draws you back time and time again.
