The Everest Base Camp Trek is an unforgettable journey that takes hikers to the base camp of the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest. The trek typically takes 12-14 days to complete and passes through the Sagarmatha National Park.

This UNESCO World Heritage site is located in the Solu-Khumbu district of Nepal and covers an area of 124,400 hectares. It is home to Mount Sagarmatha (Everest) and several other peaks over 7,000m, as well as rare species such as the snow leopard and red panda. Gazetted in 1976, SNP is a well-known destination for mountain tourism and also serves as a home to over 2,500 Sherpa people and 20 villages.

Along the way of the Everest base camp trek, you will experience breathtaking views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, as well as the chance to immerse yourself in the culture and lifestyle of the Sherpa people who call the region home.

The trek starts with an adventurous flight to Lukla, where trekkers will begin their journey on the well-known route to Everest Base Camp. Along the way, trekkers will see stunning views of different places like Namche Bazar, Tengboche Monastery, Kala Patthar, small Sherpa villages, and many prayer flags.

They will also have the opportunity to explore amazing views of Mt. Everest and other Himalayan peaks like Cho Oyu. The trek includes a professional guide and porter (one porter for two people carrying 15 kg) to assist you along the way.

The Everest Base Camp trek is considered moderately difficult, due to the altitude difference, rugged terrain, and variable weather conditions. Trekkers should be in good physical condition and acclimatize properly before starting the trek.

The average daily elevation gain is 400-800m, with the highest point of 5364m above sea level. Accommodation is provided in twin or double sharing in the best mountain lodges and hotels along the route, and three meals a day will be provided during the trek.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can book your flight with airlines such as Malaysian Air, Qatar Airways, Fly Dubai, Air Arabia, Turkish Airlines, Thai Lion Air, and Indian airlines such as Air India and Vista Air. If you are traveling through Bangkok, Dubai, and Malaysia, you can connect with Nepal Airlines (RA).

All foreigners need a visa to enter Nepal. Visas are available on arrival at Kathmandu airport or any entry point of Nepal. To obtain a visa, you need to have a valid passport for at least six months. For more information on visa requirements, visit https://nepaliport.immigration.gov.np/. Visa fees on arrival are:

15 days - $30

30 days - $50

90 days - $125

The trek is considered challenging and physically demanding due to the altitude and rugged terrain. It is recommended for individuals who are in good physical condition and have some prior hiking experience.

The best time to go on the trek is from September to November and from March to May. The weather is generally clear and stable during these months, providing good visibility of the mountains.

Accommodation during the trek is mainly in teahouses or lodges. These are simple, basic accommodations with shared bathrooms. Some teahouses may have electricity and hot water, but this is not guaranteed.

During the trek, you will have three meals per day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Meals will be served at various teahouses and will include options such as pizza, noodles, dumplings, sandwiches, Dal Bhat, porridges, bakery items, coffee, and tea. Drinking water is also readily available during trekking days.

During peak travel seasons such as spring and pre-winter, Lukla flights may take off from Manthali Airport in Ramechap. This is done to avoid congestion at Kathmandu Airport. The Lukla airport is the busiest among the STOL runways operated from Kathmandu, and to avoid congestion at the airport and limit the load, all flights to Lukla may be redirected to Ramechap for smooth operation.

You should pack warm clothing, hiking boots, a sleeping bag, a down jacket, a waterproof jacket, a hat, gloves, a headlamp, a water bottle, a first aid kit, toiletries, and personal medications. It is also recommended to bring a portable charger and a power bank to charge your electronic devices. A full list of required trekking gear can be found in our extensive guide to trekking the EBC trek.

I had got fairly five star services from Himalayan Asia Treks Team. It’s my first experience in trekking so I asked with Amrit about best trekking route for me. Amrit suggest me to go Annapurna base camp trek. On first day Guide Babu suggest me to take only necessary things in trekking route. I really impressed with briefing style. While in trekking route, Babu gave me full information about Annapurna region.
