Witness unparalleled views of some of the tallest mountains in the world and breathtaking landscapes

We cannot even count the number of mountains you will see during Everest Base Camp hiking. As the journey unfolds, the mountains will uncover their grand views and bless you with a powerful energy.

Some of the most stunning mountains you will see are Everest, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Taboche, Pumori, Island Peak, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Cholatse, etc.

Likewise, you will also relish changing landscapes with the change in altitude and catch many gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. If the sky is clear, you will enjoy many starry nights.

A close glimpse of Sherpa's lifestyle and culture, visit ancient monasteries and spin prayer wheels on the trail

Sherpas are the hallmark of the Everest region, and trekking to Everest Base Camp provides a huge opportunity to get to know them closely. You will see their lifestyle and have many interactions with them.

Likewise, Tengboche Monastery and Pangboche Monastery are the two main monasteries on the Everest Base Camp route. You will visit both of them. It will show you the rich cultural heritage of the locals.

Similarly, you will see many prayer wheels and prayer flags all over the trail. They mean to send good luck to the trekkers and the locals and protect them.

Discover the flora and fauna of Sagarmatha National Park

The Everest Base Camp route is inside the Sagarmatha National Park. You will officially enter the park from Monjo village onwards. The national park has multiple ecosystems.

In the first few days of the trek, you will walk through lush rhododendron and magnolia forests that gradually change to pine forests and bushes. Then, you will enter the alpine zone, where you will see glaciers, moraines, and mountains.

Experience a thrilling flight to/from Lukla Airport in a teeny tiny airplane

We cannot overlook the thrill of the Lukla flight. Flying in a tiny propeller plane in one of the highest and smallest airports in the world is definitely worth the hype.

Test your endurance and resilience and push out of your comfort zone

The Everest Base Camp trek is far more than just an adventurous trip. If we talk at a deeper level, this voyage will push you to get out of your comfort zone.

Unless our bodies give up, we do not back up on the mountain. We stay strong and keep moving ahead. And the entire community will cheer for you and wish you good luck.

Reaching Everest Base Camp is not the only achievement you will get on this trek. You will also conquer your limits!

A digital detox and hidden health benefits

We do not see many people talking about the health benefits that the Everest Base Camp trek has. For starters, it is a great digital detox. The network is not good at high altitudes, so you are forced to get off your phone and live in the moment.

Apart from Lukla, Phading, and Namche Bazaar, you will not have access to junk food. Even if you get a few options in some villages, the price will be absurd. So, you will mostly eat fresh and nutritious food that will heal your body.

Finally, you will feel great in your body. Long walking for a straight nine days will make you feel lighter and more confident.

Is the Everest Base Camp trek suitable for you?

The very first thing anyone should consider for the EBC trek is their fitness. If you believe you are physically fit for the Everest Base Camp trek, you are most welcome to join us on this lifetime trip.

Please note that it is a multi-day trek through rugged terrain and high altitude. The trail is not flat and involves frequent ascents and descents. Therefore, trekkers have to be in good shape to not just complete the trek but also enjoy the journey.

You have to be okay with sleeping at basic lodges along the way and having simple mountain food. For most of the trek, you will not be connected to the rest of the world. Most importantly, you will walk for 6 hours a day on average.

If you think you can take on these challenges, Everest Base Camp trekking is suitable for you. However, if you are not physically and mentally ready, book the trek early and start preparing.

Everest Base Camp trek preparation/training plan

  • Strength and stamina: Weight training will make your core and leg muscles strong. Likewise, cardio exercises such as running, jogging, swimming, and cycling will improve your stamina and endurance.

  • Walking: You have to walk a lot during the Everest Base Camp trek. So, it is better you get used to it before the trek starts. Go on regular long walks with a backpack weighing 5 kg.

  • High altitude: The only way to prepare for high altitude is by experiencing it. If there are hiking trails around your home, consider doing a few hikes before the trek. Likewise, you can also go on short 2-3 days treks near you.

  • Mental preparation: The more you learn about the Everest Base Camp route, the more you will be mentally prepared. Your understanding of the trek is very important. Read blogs and see videos of trekkers who have already done the EBC trek. It will help you a lot.

Are there hot showers and electricity on the EBC trek?

Hot showers are available, but you have to pay extra for the service. Why? Because of expensive gas and wood. You may have to pay USD 3 to USD 5 per shower.

Most lodges and tea houses depend on solar power, which they have installed at a high cost. So, charging your equipment costs around USD 2 to USD 3 or a bit more per device.

Everest Base Camp trek helpful tips for trekkers

  • To fly to Lukla, the weather has to be ideal. A slight disruption in weather can delay or cancel the flight. So, we highly recommend that trekkers budget for 2-3 days' expenses and a helicopter flight expense just to be on the safe side.

  • Shared helicopter flights are not that expensive, so keep it an option.

  • A single room costs extra money, so if you are traveling alone, please click on the single supplement during checkout or contact us.

  • Please read about all the seasons and pick the one that best suits your preferences. We organized the Everest Base Camp trek throughout the year.

  • Your duffel bag weight limit is 9 kg per person, and your day pack weight limit is 5 kg per person.

  • Kindly pack extra pairs of pants, t-shirts, socks, and undies. Trust us, you will need it. You cannot do the EBC trek in 1-2 pairs of t-shirts and pants. It's gross.

  • Budget 20% of the package cost or USD 100 to USD 120 to tip guide and porter.

  • Do not drink alcohol or smoke during trekking. It will dehydrate your body and increase the risk of altitude sickness.

  • You will share the trail with donkeys and yaks. Always wait and let them pass first. Stand on the cliff side and let them walk on the edge side.

  • Snacks and bars cost very high along the EBC trail, so buy them in Kathmandu.

  • Water bladder and electrolytes are highly recommended.

  • Download music, podcasts, movies, etc, for the journey.

  • It is best to stick with vegetarian food during the trek, especially when you go above Tengboche village. If you want to eat non veg, make sure to inquire about the freshness of the meat.

  • The network is not good in the Everest region. So, do not fixate on sharing the journey right away. Enjoy your time in the mountains, and share your trip after returning to Kathmandu.

Are you on a short holiday, or do you have less than 14 days to trek?

We have many Everest Base Camp trek packages, so whether you are on a short holiday or a long one, you will have an option. Some of our short EBC trek options are:

 

Likewise, you can customize the Everest Base Camp trek itinerary to your requirements. Bookings are open for Everest Base Camp 2025/2026 departures. Book your seat early and start preparing. We also take last-minute bookings.

Combine a helicopter flight from Gorak Shep to Kathmandu and make the itinerary three days short

After reaching Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, you have to follow the same trail back to Lukla. It takes three days to descend and involves around 65 km of walking.

By combining helicopter returns from Gorak Shep, you can skip the return trek and save three days that you can use to explore Kathmandu. It is also ideal for travelers who are on a short vacation.

A helicopter flight in your Everest Base Camp trek makes the journey more exciting. You will witness an aerial view of the Khumbu Glacier, Khumbu Icefall, all the villages that you trek through, and definitely the mountains.

Everest Base Camp trek guide and porter

In this package, you will get a professional guide and a local Sherpa porter for the journey. Guide and porter trek with you. It ensures your safety and comfort in the mountains and makes the journey more meaningful.

You will learn a lot about the locals and mountains from your guide. Likewise, he will get you the best rooms and services along the trail. Similarly, porters carry your duffel bag during the trek.

Do you have to tip a guide and porter? Yes, it is a custom in Nepal to tip your guide and porter after their service. They work very hard and make sure you have the best time in the mountains. So, it will be only fair if you tip them.

Take tips as a way to show your gratitude. There is no fixed amount. You can tip whatever amount you think is okay. For general guidance, if you are trekking in a group, every member can contribute USD 100 and tip collectively to the guide and porter.

    Useful Information

    Altitude sickness risk during the Everest Base Camp Trek and how to avoid it

    If you are planning the Everest Base Camp trek, you might have heard about the term altitude sickness. It happens when you gain a high altitude out of nowhere and do not acclimate.

    On the EBC trek, you will gain a high altitude, but our itinerary is strategically planned, including two acclimatization days that drastically decrease the risk of altitude sickness.

    Does this mean you will not suffer from altitude sickness? It is not guaranteed because everybody reacts differently to high-altitude environments.

    What you can do is follow the preventive measures, and if you still suffer from altitude sickness, our guide will provide you with first aid. If you have previous trek or high altitude experience, you are less likely to get altitude sickness during the Everest Base Camp trek.

    Things to note about altitude sickness: 

    • Your age and fitness do not exactly determine whether you will suffer from altitude sickness or not during EBC trekking. It all depends on your previous high-altitude exposure and how quickly you can adjust to changes in the elevation.
    • Do not avoid hiking on acclimatization day. It is a must to adjust to altitude.
    • Monitor your blood sugar level during hiking. If you trek with us, our guide will monitor it for you and ensure your body's oxygen level is sufficient.
    • Be careful of symptoms like difficulty breathing, vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite, insomnia, headache, and dizziness. These are early signs of altitude sickness.
    • Kindly do not eat any medicine without your guide's knowledge. If anything happens to you, the guide will know what you have eaten and help you accordingly.
    • During the trek, maintain your pace. It is okay to fall back from the group. Enjoy the journey, and do not rush. Take your time to hike. Do not waste energy unnecessarily.
    • Drink plenty of water and hot ginger honey teas every day. A hydrated body is less likely to suffer from altitude sickness.

    Accommodation and meals in Kathmandu during Everest Base Camp Trek

    In Kathmandu, we provide a three-star hotel or a tourist standard hotel. The room will be booked on a twin-sharing basis, but you can switch to a single room. The hotel will be nice and in the main tourist area in the city.

    You will have access to all modern amenities such as WiFi, TV, AC, etc. Likewise, rooms will have private washrooms and 24/7 hot and cold running water. Breakfast will be included in the room, so you can enjoy it in the hotel.

    This package does not include lunch and dinner in Kathmandu. There are many affordable fine dining options in Kathmandu, where you can enjoy food from all over the world.

    Accommodation and meals during Everest Base Camp Trek

    During the Everest Base Camp trekking, you will stay overnight in basic lodges. It is a common accommodation along the EBC route, where more than 90% of the trekkers spend the night. Basic lodges have twin-shared rooms, and a single room costs extra money.

    In Lobuche village and Gorak Shep, single rooms may not be available during the peak trekking seasons. You may get private washrooms in villages at lower elevations, but in most lodges, washrooms are shared between the trekkers.

    Rooms are small but clean. A sleeping bag is highly recommended. Likewise, services such as WiFi, charging, and hot showers are available in many lodges at an additional charge. Depending on the service and the altitude, you may have to pay USD 2 to USD 7.

    We provide three meals a day during trekking, so you will get breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Lodges not only offer accommodation but also food and drinks to the trekkers. The food option on the EBC route is incredible.

    You will have plenty of veg and nonveg options to choose from. Trekkers who have any food allergies are requested to inform us beforehand. Also, be mindful of what you are eating during your trip.

    Some common foods you will have during the trek are thukpa, dal bhat, fried rice, porridge, Tibetan bread, soups, stew, curry, chapati, toast, eggs, pancakes, pasta, chowmein, and momo.

    Drinking water during Everest Base Camp Trek

    Clean drinking water is available throughout the Everest Base Camp trail. Lodge sells boiled water for drinking at a very minimal cost. Every trekker drinks it.

    If you are skeptical about it, use a water purification tablet to double-purify the water. Plastic water bottles are also available along the trail. But it is not a good option both environment and cost-wise.

    Best time to trek to Everest Base Camp

    Before planning your Everest Base Camp trek, consider the four seasons that highly impact the journey. They are winter (December to February), spring (March to May), summer/monsoon (June to August), and autumn (September to November).

    For starters, the Everest Base Camp trek is possible in all seasons. It is just that some seasons have better weather and climate conditions. We have talked about all the seasons below. We hope it will help you pick the most suitable time for your trek.

    Everest Base Camp Trek during Spring (March to May)

    • Spring is the season of flowers. The lower parts of the trail are blossomed with thousands of flowers in this season. So, the scenery is even more beautiful.
    • Stable weather and mild climate. Lukla's flights are mostly on time. You will not feel too hot or too cold while hiking.

    FAQs

    • Q1. Is Everest Base Camp Dangerous?

      Most travelers who are willing to come to Everest want to know about the Everest trekking risks and dangers involved. As the journey is long and you have to walk for more than 2 weeks in the extremities of weather and trekking trails. Talking about the weather and the difficulty of trails, you will find it relatively difficult which also depends on your level of trekking expertise. Also, you might suffer from altitude sickness, acute mountain sickness, high-altitude pulmonary edema, and high-altitude cerebral edema. Sometimes overexertion and dehydration can also be the causes of your complications. The vast majority of people do not have huge complications. It is for that reason too, that people love to come to EBC for a good time.

    • Making a trek memorable is a tough job as it requires you to plan your journey in such a way that you have to deal with the least problems. Among various ways to complete a trek best, the main way is to prepare properly. So, how is it possible to prepare for one of the toughest yet most exciting treks in the world? You can do many things to remember your trek for good reasons.

      Following are some of the best physical and mental tips you can follow so that your trek around EBC will not take a toll on you.

      • Make a habit of walking daily at least for an hour,
      • Walk uphill and downhill,
      • Practice cardiovascular training with proper breathing exercises,
      • Meditate at least two times a day,
      • Pay proper attention to your sleep schedule,
      • Have a balanced diet and avoid eating junk food
      • Stay in the best physical shape possible

    • Depending on the itinerary, you have to walk around 5-9 km each day. The entire trek around Everest is around 130 kilometers (80 miles). Walking distance is not the major thing to worry about. The gain in elevation each day is the bigger issue here. You should be prepared and ready to adapt to it.

    • As Everest Trek is a high-altitude journey. If you are a traveler who has a good experience of trekking, then you will not face altitude sickness most likely. However, if you are a novice trekker and have not come to high altitudes before, it is highly likely that you will get altitude sickness. But you don’t need to worry about it that much. There are guides who will help you in every part of the journey.

    • Carrying cash with yourself is actually your choice. If you are coming with us as a member of the group, you don’t need to pay for the food and accommodation as you have already paid for the package. However, if you want to buy extra accessories or eat exotic dishes, you need to carry certain money. Generally,  you can carry around $500 with you to spend extra if you want.

    • It is highly unlikely that you will find money exchanges during the trek to Everest. You need to exchange money in Kathmandu before starting the Everest Trek. However, you will find ATM machines in Namche Bazar from where you can withdraw money.

    • While you are on your Everest journey, you can use any currency. But, Nepalese currency will be the best option available. You can easily convert your currency to Nepalese currency from foreign money exchange according to the daily rates. It becomes easier for the village people to calculate and make proper money records.

    • There are no restrictions on taking kids to the EBC Trek. You can take your children on the Everest Trek. You must make sure that they are prepared for the strenuous trek journey. The climate and trekking trails become way too extreme for kids.

    • You don't need to learn the Nepalese language to complete the trek around Everest. You have a guide who will be the mediator of the conversation. But, you can learn the Nepali language too and talk to the locals in the same language. It is a different experience.

    • Having travel insurance for the EBC Trek is your choice. As you trek to a region where the climate can be extreme, you may suffer from altitude sickness and other complications such as accidents and flight cancellations. It is advised to get travel insurance before going on the trek so that you can trek in peace and enjoy the trip to a whole new level.

    • Kilimanjaro is a mountain located in Tanzania, Africa and Everest; as all of you know, it is the highest peak in the world. The mountains are two of the most popular and highly challenging treks present. Various travelers put one trek in the harder group than the other. Kilimanjaro can be harder for some trekkers, whereas EBC is a tougher route for some.

Meanwhile, the average success rate of Everest Trekking is around 95% which is more than double what is in Kilimanjaro. Not only this, you have to do a night hike in Kilimanjaro with the temperature extremely low. There is a compulsion sometimes to climb high altitudes faster in Kilimanjaro.

Guides are people who will help you when the trail becomes way too hard. You won’t feel the need for a guide when everything is planned. But, there are times when the going gets tough. For instance, the weather starts to get way too hard, and you start suffering from any sort of complications. That is the time when you feel the essence of a guide. So, going to EBC Trek with a guide is the best decision you can take while marching towards the base of the highest summit.
