Overview

Everest Base Camp Trek is the world’s most beautiful trek and is considered one of the best trekking in Nepal. The Everest base camp helicopter tour leads to the base camp of Mount Everest. The new height of Mount Everest is 8848.48 meters (or 29032 feet). The height of the Everest base camp is 5364 meters, or 17598 feet. The best itinerary for the Everest base camp trek is 15 days. The reasonable cost of an Everest base camp trek is US$ 1950.00 per person for trekkers who are looking for unlimited adventure, peace, and breathtaking Himalayan views. Due to the angle difference, you cannot perfectly view Mount Everest from Everest base camp. Hike uphill to Kalapatthar from Gorekshep for a spectacular view of Mount Everest. In short, Everest Base Camp trekking is known as the EBC trek. This trek carries a good deal of beautiful mountains, stupas, monasteries, and rivers. The Tyanboche is well-known for its beautiful monastery, which is surrounded by praying Lamas. While trekking through the wide trail, you can clearly see the snowcapped mountains leading to Everest, including Mt. Everest (8,848 m), the highest peak in the world. During the EBC trek, the trekkers are challenging their fears in every moment. After completing all the levels of fear, they have no fear left and explore the incredible view of Mt. Everest. Ama Dablam (6,812 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), Nuptse (7,879 m), and many more have snowcapped mountains.

The Everest base camp trek route is wide and flat, with no risk of avalanches or landslides. Trekkers should be cautious of high altitude sickness due to the higher elevation. An alternative way to experience the region is by helicopter, and the Everest base camp helicopter tour cost varies depending on the package, but it offers a quick and spectacular way to see the beauty of the Himalayas.

During the Everest base camp trek, we provide you with an Everest base camp map, and it is very important to find out the name of the mountains and the trekking route. There are hundreds of mountains and peaks, all of which appear to be very similar and cause confusion. There are many side footpaths off the main trekking trail. It can be difficult to find the right path at times, and you may become lost. If you are going with your guides, you do not have a problem; otherwise, you can buy a map in Thamel, close to your hotel where you are staying in Nepal, that will help you. Additionally, if you want a unique perspective or a more comfortable journey, you might consider an Everest base camp helicopter tour, which can provide stunning aerial views of the region.

The Beauty of the EBC Trek

The View: The EBC trek presents you with a spectacular view of Mt. Everest and other surrounding mountains above 8000m. Mt. Ama Dablam (6,812m), Mt. Lhotse (8,516m), and Mt. Nuptse (7,879m) are the additional attractions of this trek. You should hike up to Kalapatthar for the fantastic view of Mt. Everest.

This trek isolates you from the human settlements and human-made beauty. People in the Everest region are Buddhist. You will observe rich Buddhist culture, beautiful stupas, and monasteries. The Stupas and monasteries surrounded by colorful Buddhist preying flags and praying Lamas make the visitors feel peace. Tyanboche is one of the monasteries famous for its devoutness.

The Route: EBC trek trail is wide and flat with no risk of avalanches or landslides. However, since being in the world’s highest place, the trekkers should be cautious of high altitude sickness in the Everest region.

The trail and mountains are easy to follow on the map with the names of adjoining mountains. Our company gives you a map. There are many side footpaths of the main trekking trails. However, many times tourists, especially solo trekkers who trekked without a guide, have found lost in the Everest region. Due to the similar look of the surrounding mountains and peaks, the trekkers cannot find the right path even if they have a map.

Due to these reasons, the government of Nepal has imposed a guide compulsory with the tourists during the trek.

The Concern of Tourists: In our experience, many tourists are worried, which is natural, about the EBC trek until they reach the Everest region, but as soon as they start trekking and see the beauty of the Everest region, they are fearless, energetic, and ready to hike up and higher up. The incredible view of Mt. Everest and other mountains kills their fear and concerns.

Day 2 :
A half-day sightseeing in Kathmandu valley beginning with the Pashupatinath Temple

Kathmandu is a city of remarkable beauty, particularly from a cultural perspective. It is home to hundreds of temples, stupas, and monasteries, with some claiming that the number of religious monuments exceeds the population of the city. This assertion reflects the profound spiritual significance of the area. Consequently, we have decided to embark on a half-day sightseeing tour in Kathmandu, which holds great importance in terms of cultural and traditional heritage. The city showcases three distinct architectural styles: the Pagoda style, characterized by roofed temples associated with Hinduism; the dome style, which pertains to Buddhist temples; and the Shikhar style, known for its peak-shaped temples, also linked to Hinduism. While our half-day tour will not allow us to visit every site, we will focus on significant temples and stupas, including monasteries. Another highlight of the Kathmandu Valley is its historic royal palaces, of which there are three, each exuding beauty and surrounded by temples and statues of deities. Although we cannot explore all of them, we will visit Pashupatinath Temple, where one can witness cremation rituals, colorful Sadhus (hermits), and numerous temples featuring Shiva Lingas. This temple holds immense importance for Hindus worldwide, many of whom aspire to visit it at least once in their lifetime. Following this, we will proceed to Bouddhanath, the largest stupa in South Asia, which is particularly significant for Buddhists, especially those of Tibetan descent. They also wish to visit this stupa during their lifetime. We will take a lunch break at a rooftop restaurant in Bouddha, offering stunning views of the stupa. After our sightseeing, we will return to the hotel to prepare for our trekking adventure. Occasionally, due to air traffic, flights from Kathmandu to Lukla may be unavailable, necessitating a drive to Manthali Airport, which is approximately a four-hour journey from Kathmandu.In the late afternoon, we may travel to Manthali Airport and spend the night there, with plans to fly from Manthali to Lukla the following day instead of departing from Kathmandu. The route from Kathmandu to Manthali is well-paved and traverses through hills, villages, gorges, and rivers. Along the journey to Manthali, we will encounter several picturesque resorts situated along the banks of the Sun Koshi River, where we will also take a tea break. The Sun Koshi River is renowned for its white-water rafting, presenting a thrilling challenge with rapid grades ranging from 4 to 5.

Lunch and dinner are not part of our package today; however, accommodations and breakfast in Manthali are included.
Day 3 :
Flight to Lukla

Should we be granted permission to fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, the duration of the flight is approximately 35 minutes, ascending to an altitude of 2,840 meters. Alternatively, if this is not feasible, we will take a flight from Manthali to Lukla, which lasts about 25 minutes. The aerial journey is remarkable, as it traverses numerous mountains, hills, and Nepali villages nestled on the slopes. On a clear day, one can behold the extensive range of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest. Upon landing at Lukla Airport and disembarking from the aircraft, you will be greeted by the refreshing air that descends from Mount Everest, which may prompt you to take a deep breath of the crisp atmosphere. The temperature is quite chilly, necessitating the use of a down jacket. You will be accompanied by your guide throughout this journey. After exiting the airport, you will encounter porters who are present in Lukla to assist with carrying your backpack. Your guide will escort you to a pleasant restaurant for breakfast, offering beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. The porter will manage your backpack. We kindly request that all guests carry a small backpack containing valuables such as passports and money. Following breakfast, your adventure trek will commence, taking approximately five hours to reach Phakding (2,610 meters). The trail is predominantly flat with slight inclines and declines. Along the way, you will encounter a series of ‘Mani walls,’ ‘Chortens,’ vibrantly painted ‘prayer wheels,’ and numerous small stupas. Throughout the trek, there are several restaurants available for lunch and overnight stays, all operated by the Sherpa community. Nowadays, a variety of meals can be enjoyed at these establishments. After three hours of trekking, your guide will determine an appropriate time for a lunch break, which will last about one hour. Following lunch, you will continue walking for an additional two hours to reach Phakding, where accommodations for the night have been arranged. You will stay overnight at a hotel situated along the banks of the Dudh Koshi River. Each meal includes lunch, dinner, breakfast, and two cups of tea; however, water and any cold beverages are not included. As this marks the first day of your trekking experience, you can expect a range of emotions.
Day 4 :
Trekking starts to Namche Bazaar

The peaceful environment allowed for a restful night’s sleep. You will awaken at 6:30 AM to prepare your backpack, with breakfast served at 7:00 AM. Following breakfast, the trek will commence at 7:45 AM. During the journey, you will traverse several hanging bridges before reaching Jorsalle, where the entrance gate to Sagarmatha National Park is located. The guide will arrange the necessary permits at this point. After securing the permits, you will continue your trek. After approximately three hours of walking, the guide will arrange a lunch break at a pleasant restaurant, lasting about one hour. Once lunch is concluded, you will resume your trek towards Namche Bazar, the primary market in the Everest region. The trail ascends steeply and takes around two hours to reach Namche Bazar, where you will cross the highest hanging bridge. Upon arrival at the hotel, you may take some time to rest. After resting, you are free to explore the market until 6:00 PM. Dinner will be served at 7:00 PM, and you will be staying in Namche Bazar. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and accommodation are included in your package. You will be responsible for any cold drinks and water, although tea is provided.
Day 5 :
Acclimatization in Namche Bazaar

Acclimatization in Namche Bazaar is crucial for trekkers, as emphasized by trekking experts and medical professionals. It is essential to rest in Namche Bazaar to allow our bodies to adjust to the altitude. At higher elevations, the oxygen levels in the air are significantly lower, which can be insufficient for our physiological needs. Therefore, it is imperative to acclimatize our bodies to the reduced oxygen levels. Failure to do so may result in high altitude sickness, which can be life-threatening. To mitigate the risk of such illness, a day of rest is recommended. Engaging in a short walk around the hills of Namche Bazaar can enhance your fitness and facilitate acclimatization. After breakfast, a brief hike to the Everest View Hotel is suggested. This hotel is renowned among tourists seeking views of Mount Everest without trekking to the base camp. From the Everest View Hotel, one can enjoy stunning vistas of Lhotse (8,516 meters) and Mount Everest (8,848 meters), along with Ama Dablam and numerous other peaks. Visitors can savor tea and coffee while taking in the breathtaking Himalayan scenery, although they will be responsible for their own beverage expenses. Following the visit to the Everest View Hotel, a trip to the yak breeding center is also recommended. Additionally, the Shyangboche Airport serves as another point of interest during this trek, where one can explore the surroundings. At noon, the guide will arrange a lunch break at a pleasant restaurant, allowing you to enjoy your meal with views of the majestic Himalayas, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. After lunch, you may return to your hotel or explore Namche Bazaar at your leisure. You will have some free time before dinner, which is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM, with orders taken at 6:30 PM. This day’s itinerary includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and accommodation as part of your package.
Day 6 :
Trek to Thyangboche

Following breakfast, the journey to Thyangboche, also known as Tengboche, which stands at an elevation of 3,880 meters, commences at 8 AM. The path remains relatively level for approximately two hours and forty minutes before descending. We will pause for lunch at Phunki Thenga, where one can observe the impressive water-powered prayer wheels. The act of turning these prayer wheels symbolizes the accumulation of merit through worship. Visitors are encouraged to capture photographs of these sacred wheels. Occasionally, one may encounter the Himalayan Thar and Musk Deer wandering nearby. Once lunch is prepared, we will enjoy our meal. Afterward, we will continue our ascent for an additional two hours until we reach Thyangboche. Upon arrival, you will check into your hotel, where you may choose to rest or explore the stunning views of the Himalayas, or enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, which will be at your own expense. At 3 PM, we will visit the Thyangboche Monastery, where the daily ‘Puja’ (prayer) ceremonies occur at 3 PM and 6 AM. Visitors are welcome to participate in the Puja, and you may join in prayer and meditation without any fee. The Tengboche Monastery holds significant importance for both Buddhist practitioners and the Sherpa community residing in the Everest region. The Mani Rimdu festival, a vital celebration for the Sherpa people, takes place in the ninth month of the Tibetan calendar, typically in October or November. Many Sherpa individuals from the Everest region make it a point to attend this festival and visit the monastery, where they enjoy festive food, drinks, and entertainment, particularly the traditional mask dance.

The Thyangboche Monastery, also referred to as Dawa Choling Gompa, was established in 1916 by Lama Gulu and is situated at an altitude of 3,867 meters.This monastery has strong ties to its parent monastery, Rongbuk Monastery in Tibet. In 1934, a significant earthquake struck Nepal, resulting in its destruction; however, it was subsequently rebuilt. In 1989, a major fire completely devastated the monastery, but it was once again reconstructed with the assistance of international donations.
Day 7 :
Trek to Pheriche (4,250m)

Upon awakening and stepping outside into the crisp morning air, you will be greeted by the stunning vistas of Lhotse Himal and Mount Everest. Simultaneously, the beautiful rays of the sunrise will illuminate the landscape, providing an excellent opportunity for photography. Additionally, the sounds of bells and the rhythmic beating of a Buddhist drum will fill the air, signaling the commencement of prayer and meditation. Should you wish, you may participate in a half-hour meditation session, which promises to be a remarkable experience. Following this, breakfast will be served at 7:00 AM, and at 8:00 AM, the trek to Thyangboche, also known as Tengboche (3,880m), will begin.

At 6:00 AM, you will have the chance to visit the Tengboche monastery and enjoy breakfast with a view of Mount Everest. The trek will then proceed along a gradually ascending trail to Pheriche (4,250m). After approximately 45 minutes of trekking, you will arrive at Debuche Gompa, which features a small Buddhist nunnery. Along the way, you may encounter various Himalayan wildlife, including yaks, monal pheasants, and musk deer. The breathtaking views of Ama Dablam Peak, Island Peak, and Lhotse Himal will enhance your journey. Overall, this day’s trek will encompass around four hours of walking.

During the trek, you will pass through Pangboche village, where you can admire the magnificent views of Ama Dablam Peak and Island Peak. Lunch will be enjoyed at Somare, accompanied by the stunning scenery of Ama Dablam, Island Peak, and Lhotse Himal. The trail is predominantly flat, with some sections gradually ascending. Your package for the day includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and accommodation.
Day 8 :
Trek to Lobuche

Following breakfast, the journey to Lobuche (4,930m) commences at 8:00 AM. The initial hour of the trek traverses a nearly level valley. Subsequently, the path ascends gradually for three hours until we reach Lobuche. Approximately halfway through the trek, there are several lodges at Thokla, where some travelers may take a tea break, or those who began their trek from Pangboche can enjoy a lunch break. As you navigate the slight incline at Thokla, you will encounter numerous small stupas and stone piles, which serve as memorials for climbers who lost their lives while attempting to summit Mount Everest. From this point, the trail continues on a relatively flat course. Upon our arrival, we will take a brief rest, and you may purchase tea or coffee at your own expense. The distance from Pheriche to Lobuche is not extensive, allowing us to reach our destination in approximately four hours, even at a leisurely pace. It is advisable to walk slowly, as this aids in acclimatizing to the high altitude. Proper acclimatization is essential to mitigate the risk of altitude sickness. It is recommended to consume more than three liters of fluids daily to ensure adequate oxygen intake, despite the lower oxygen levels in the air. After resting, you may ascend an additional 200 meters above Lobuche and remain there for about 30 minutes to assess your body’s response. If you experience no symptoms of altitude sickness, you can comfortably stay in Lobuche. You may also explore the stunning glaciers in the vicinity. Dinner will be served at 6:30 PM. Should you experience any symptoms of altitude sickness, it is crucial to inform your guide immediately, as they can assist in your descent. Today’s package includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and accommodation.
Day 9 :
Trek to Gorakshep

Following breakfast at 7:30 AM, you will commence a gradual uphill trek lasting approximately three hours to reach Gorak Shep (5,130m). Gorak Shep serves as the final tea house destination on the Everest Base Camp trek. Upon arrival, you will check into your hotel and rest for half an hour. Subsequently, our guide will inquire about the health status of the tourists. If everyone is in good condition, lunch will be ordered. Should anyone experience difficulties, the guide will recommend increased water intake for better hydration. After half an hour, lunch will be prepared and served. Following the meal, you will embark on an extraordinary excursion to Everest Base Camp (5,364m), which will take around four hours for the round trip. The entire trail is adorned with moraine glaciers. You will spend half an hour at the base camp, relishing the achievement of reaching this iconic location before trekking back to Gorak Shep. During the journey to Base Camp, you will be treated to stunning views of Nuptse and the extensive Everest Icefall. Numerous snow-capped mountains and peaks will encircle you, providing a breathtaking 360-degree panorama. However, due to the angle, Mount Everest itself will not be visible from Base Camp, as nearby mountains obstruct the view. To see a clear view of Mount Everest, a visit to Kalapatthar is scheduled for the following day. Upon returning to the hotel, you may choose to rest or take a short walk up to Kalapatthar. Dinner will be served at 6:30 PM, followed by an overnight stay at Gorak Shep, the final point of the trek with hotel accommodations. Today’s itinerary includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and accommodation.
Day 10 :
Trek to Kalapatthar and trek back to Dingboche

On this day, we will rise early at 5:00 AM and commence our trek to Kalapatthar, which will take approximately one to one and a half hours to reach the summit, followed by a 45-minute descent. Kalapatthar, standing at 5,545 meters, offers the finest vantage point for observing Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world, as well as a breathtaking sunrise from this elevation. The experience of witnessing the sunrise over Mount Everest will undoubtedly become one of the most significant and unforgettable memories of your life. The sunrises and sunsets in the high mountains differ greatly from those observed at sea level or lower altitudes; this is an experience that words cannot adequately describe, and it must be personally explored. The moment spent at Kalapatthar lasts approximately 20 minutes. We will then return to Gorak Shep to enjoy our final breakfast at the highest tea house in the world before trekking back to Dingboche (4,700 meters) for an overnight stay. The journey is predominantly downhill, and we will take a lunch break at Lobuche. Afterward, we will continue our descent to Dingboche, where we plan to spend the night. From Dingboche, one can admire stunning views of Ama Dablam, Island Peak, and the Amphu Lapcha Pass. The landscape is adorned with the majestic Himalayas, glaciers, and icefalls, creating an awe-inspiring panorama. Today’s package includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and accommodation.
Day 11 :
Trek back to Phortse Thanga

Following breakfast, we will embark on a trek back to Phortse Thanga, which will take approximately four hours. After about two hours of descending from Pangboche, the trekking path diverges. The upper trail leads to Phortse Thanga, while the lower trail directs to Thyangboche, where we spent the night during our ascent to Base Camp. The route from Pangboche to Phortse Thanga runs alongside the Imja Khola River and features a narrow pathway. For those who may have a fear of heights or narrow trails, an alternative route to Thyangboche is available, which can be followed to reach Phortse Thanga in just half an hour with relative ease. Phortse Thanga is situated between the Imja Khola and Dudh Koshi rivers and is a small village that houses a monastery known as Thakri Gompa, which visitors are welcome to explore. The Everest region is predominantly inhabited by the Sherpa people, who practice Buddhism, and one can find stupas and monasteries in every village or destination where we stay overnight. Daily rituals, including prayers and meditation, are conducted in these monasteries, and if you are interested, you may participate, time permitting. Please consult your guide for further information. Today’s package includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and accommodation.
Day 12 :
Trek back to Monjo

Following breakfast, we will embark on a six-hour trek back to Monjo, which includes a one-hour descent to the Dudh Koshi River, followed by four hours of gentle ascents and descents. Along the route, we will explore a trail that leads to Gokyo Lake. After traversing the Gokyo Lake trail, we will once again reach Khumjung Village. This village offers numerous tea houses catering to trekkers for meals and accommodation. In Khumjung, there is also the opportunity to visit the Hillary School and the Khumjung Monastery. If the Lama is present, we may have the chance to view the scalp of the yeti. Concurrently, we can visit Kunde Village and continue our trek down to Namche via the Shyanboche airport. In Namche, we will take a half-hour break, subject to our guide’s discretion based on time availability. The trail from Namche descends all the way to Monjo. Upon reaching the Larja Bridge, we will be treated to a view of Mount Everest, which is the last vantage point for this majestic peak until we reach Lukla. From the bridge, we will walk for an additional hour to arrive in Monjo, where we plan to stay overnight. Our package today includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and accommodation.
Day 13 :
About 5 hours trek back to Lukla

Following breakfast, there will be a trek of approximately five hours back to Lukla. Our guide will verify the flight arrangements for the following morning and will provide you with the flight time as well as the wake-up call for tomorrow. You will arrive in Lukla earlier, allowing you the opportunity to enjoy tea, coffee, or any other refreshments of your choice. Please note that you will be responsible for settling your own bill. As this marks the final day of your trekking journey, it is customary to celebrate the successful completion of the trek with those who have supported you, such as your guide and porters. Typically, tourists express their gratitude by treating their guide and porters to a meal and drinks, although this is not obligatory and is entirely at your discretion. Since the porters will not be returning to Kathmandu, you may wish to offer them a tip if you feel inclined. While tips are appreciated in Nepal, it is important to note that they receive a fair salary. Your package includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and accommodation.
Day 14 :
Fly back to Kathmandu and rest farewell dinner with Nepali cultural program

Following breakfast, you will proceed to check in at the airport. All arrangements will be handled by our guide, who will inform you whether our flight will be direct to Kathmandu or to Manthali airport, depending on the air traffic conditions at Kathmandu airport. If traffic permits, we will have the opportunity to fly directly to Kathmandu. Typically, from October to November and March to May, air traffic is heavy, necessitating the use of Manthali airport for flights to Lukla. Upon your arrival at Manthali airport, a vehicle will be ready to transport you to your hotel in Kathmandu. You will have the chance to rest or purchase souvenirs for your relatives and friends. In the evening, a representative from our office will visit the hotel to escort you to a cultural dance restaurant, where a variety of traditional Nepali meals and dance performances will be provided. You will witness dances from various ethnic groups, including the Sherpa dance, which originates from the Everest region. All meals are included in the package; however, you will be responsible for your own drinks. They will offer local homemade alcohol, which is complimentary with dinner. The dinner experience will last approximately three hours, after which you will be returned to your hotel. Please note that lunch is not included in the package for today

Detail Info

Naming of Mount Everest

In the Nepali language, Mount Everest is called “Sagarmatha.” Sagar means the sky, and Matha means above. Nepali people believe that the peak of Mt. Everest is above the sky. “Chomolungma” is the name of Mt. Everest given by the local Sherpa people from the Everest region. Chomolungma means the mother goddess of the earth.

First climbers on Mount Everest

In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgey made successful climbs on top of Mt. Everest. Since then, it has become very popular worldwide and is the most wanted mountain for trekkers and climbers. Hillari and Tenzing used the route to Everest Base Camp.

How can we arrive at Mount Everest base camp

There are two main trekking routes, Jiri (drive from Kathmandu) and Lukla (fly from Kathmandu), to Everest Base Camp. From Lukla, the main trekking point, the trekkers hike upwards to Namche Bazaar, known as the Sherpa capital. Those who prefer a long trek can take the Jiri route, which passes through the Sherpa village, the High Suspension Bridge, the Zobkyo Caravan (a family of Yak), Sagarmatha National Park, and Namche Bazzar.

Inhabitants

The Everest area is inhabited mainly by Sherpa indigenous peoples who are renounced higher mountain climbers. Both Jiri and Lulka routes present you the culture, tradition, and life style of Sherpa indigenous peoples in Nepal.

Types of trekking packages to go Everest base camp region

For the Everest Base Camp trekking, we have two different trekking packages: tea house and camping trek. In tea house trek, we provide lodge accomodation and food at the hotel.

In camping trek, we take all the lodging and fooding equipment with us, our team prepares food and we sleep in tent. Therefore, the cost of tea house and camping trek to the Everest Base Camp is different.

How hard is it to go to Everest base camp?

Definitely, the Everest base camp trek is a hard trek due to the higher elevation, though there are hundreds of breathtaking views. You can make it easy if you follow some rules and regulations before starting your trek towards Everest base camp. Most of the time, tourists suffer from high-altitude sickness and fatigue. High-altitude sickness begins at 3000 meters (9700 feet) and continues until you reach the Mount Everest base camp at 5364 meters (17433 feet). If tourists walk slowly and steadily with many breaks on the way to the trek, they can acclimatize easily, and the trek will be easy. On the way to the trek, every 1 to 2 hours, there are tea houses where tourists can have enough liquids and rest to protect themselves from high altitude sickness and fatigue. because there are not many up-and-down hills. The trekking trail ascends gradually, with only a few steep sections. If possible, try to practice walking through steep terrain. Jogging and swimming are equally helpful. Any exercise that is convenient for you and helps you be fit is recommended.

How long does it take to reach the base camp of Mount Everest?

From Kathmandu, it takes a minimum of 5 days to arrive at Everest base camp if you are very fit; otherwise, it takes 7 days. The 5-day trip is one way to Everest base camp, and coming back takes 4 more days. For a comfortable walk, it takes 7 days to arrive at base camp and 5 more days to come down. If you walk slowly and are more comfortable, then you can make it longer too. We design the itinerary on the basis of your requirements; otherwise, you can follow our detailed itinerary.
