Everest Base Camp Trek is a moderate to difficult trekking in the Khumbu region of the eastern Himalayas. EBC Trekking attracts around 40,000 trekkers every year with a success rate of 95% and more. The Everest region isn't connected to the capital city by road, so a mountain flight is the only way to get to Lukla, the trailhead of the EBC trekking. The classic 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trek is including the day of arrival and departure and two acclimatization days.

Carrying the dreams of thousands of mountaineers, Mt. Everest stands tall at 8,848 meters in the Nepalese Himalayas. Although the summit of Everest isn't accessible to most, its base camp is. And we're here to take you on a glorious trekking journey to the Everest Base Camp, the most popular trekking destination in the world that makes you feel like you're at the top of the world.

Taking you through a winding path of forgotten valleys, past serene hills, and historic villages, the EBC trekking normal route contains gems that genuinely make you believe in the quote, "Heaven is a myth; Nepal is real." The sunrise view of Mt. Everest and the surrounding mountains from Kala Patthar (5545 m) seems unreal.

Everest Base Camp Trekking is a venture that allows you to explore the exotic flora and fauna of the Sagarmatha National Park in the Khumbu region, along with picturesque valleys, tempting mountains, beautiful glacial lakes, massive glaciers, diverse climatic zones, and vegetation. During the trek, you will find yourself in locations that feel like paradise, surrounded by snow-capped mountains such as Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, and Ama Dablam alongside Everest.

Age-old monasteries and chortens still decorate the trails of the Everest base camp trekking 14 days giving a spiritual bend to your journey. The cold breeze fluttering the prayer flags against the giant mountains makes a great view to watch while taking a break from the hike. The warm smiles of the locals saying, "Tashi Delek," make you feel welcomed in this land of great beauty. Sherpas, the Tibetan descendent Buddhists, inhabit the region. You must have heard about the brave Sherpas and their contribution to mountaineering in Nepal. Imagine meeting them in person and interacting with them. Isn't it amazing?

Join Outfitter Nepal's 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking journey at an affordable cost with the best services. Here's everything you need to know about the EBC trekking. We've carefully listed the highlights, valuable insights, itineraries, trip maps, helpful information, FAQs, and many more to help you plan your dream Everest Base Camp trip efficiently. Please follow through for more.

What to Anticipate at the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Right from the start of the trip, you'll be fascinated by the aerial perspective of the great Himalayas as you fly from Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Lukla at 2845 meters. From the very first day, you'll be surrounded by snow-capped mountains that appear nearer and clearer each passing day. The hike officially begins at Lukla, taking you to Phakding, then Namche Bazaar, the unbelievable Himalayan town with modern amenities at an elevation of 3440 meters. You'll spend a day acclimatizing at Namche and continue the trek to Tyangboche, Dingboche (2nd acclimatization), Lobuche, and Gorekshep, the highest overnight stay of the EBC trekking at 5163 meters. The landscape turns from lush green to barren lands and finally to rocky mountains covered by snow. The incredible sight of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Amadablam, Thamserku, and Pumori during the trek can't be described in words, neither can we explain the feeling you get while standing at the foothill of the one and only Mt. Everest. You have to see it for yourself!

Likewise, the cultural aspect of the Everest Base Camp Trekking is equally fulfilling. You'll pass by many small villages and spend the nights at some. You can expect a warm welcome by the locals with wide smiles and joined hands saying "Namaste" or "Tashi Delek." The main inhabitants of the Everest region are the well-known Sherpas, who's excelled in the mountains for years. These Tibetan descendants follow Buddhism, and their centuries-old culture is greatly influenced by it. You'll come across ancient monasteries, numerous chortens, mani walls, and prayer flags swaying at the backdrop of the giant Himalayas.

Besides the extreme natural beauty and warmth of the locals, you can also expect excellent trekking services from Outfitter Nepal, such as an English-speaking licensed guide, fit potters, airport transfers, flight tickets to and from Lukla, permits for the EBC trek, teahouse accommodation with 3 meals during the trek and 3-star hotel stay with breakfast in Kathmandu.

What does a typical day at the Everest Base Camp Trek look like?

Although each day brings a unique experience to your Everest Base Camp Trekking Journey, you'll follow the same daily routine while trekking except for the acclimatization days. Your EBC trekking day begins with a delicious breakfast at the mountain lodge you stayed the night. After breakfast, pack your backpacks, hit the trail of ascends, and descend for a few hours. We take a lunch break at a teahouse at approximately the midpoint of the day's hike. Your body will also get some rest during an hour or two of lunch break. Post lunch, you'll again hike for another few hours until you reach your destination for the day. Check in to your room, unwind your body, socialize at the dining hall, have dinner, and enjoy a good night's sleep.

Acclimatization days, on the other hand, are more leisurely. You can wake up late, stroll around the locality or go for short hikes between meals. Take enough rest but remember to move your body, as it is the best way to acclimatize.

Everest Base Camp Trekking - Is it right for you?

Despite the staggering elevation of the Everest Base Camp (5364 m), the trekking itself isn't that frightening. As the walk begins at an altitude of 2845 m at Lukla, the total elevation you gain as you reach the base camp is around 2500 m over a period of 8 days, which isn't extremely difficult. This is why the EBC trekking is considered a moderate to difficult trek. The trek difficulty also depends on the trekker's overall health and weather conditions. If you're in sound health and are determined to accept the challenges as you go with open arms, you're a right fit for Everest base camp.

We have records of children as young as 3 years and 7 months and senior citizens as old as 75 reaching the Everest Base Camp on foot. Everest base camp is right for you regardless of age if you're physically fit, mentally strong, and willing to train properly.

Prepare yourself for 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking

There's no hard-and-fast rule on how to prepare for the Everest Base Camp. You know the drill if you've experienced trekking in high altitudes. If you haven't, start by watching videos of people from your country who've successfully trekked to Everest base camp. Study the Everest region's climate, weather, and temperature. To get your body fit for the trek, indulge in cardiovascular workouts, weight training, and hiking up and down the hill with a backpack of 5-6 kgs for a few hours each week. Start 6 months prior to your departure.

Mental preparation is an essential part of it. Prepare yourself mentally to hike for several days in the uneven terrain of the isolated Himalayas without any healthcare facilities and spend nights in simple mountain lodges. Get to terms with the basic living facilities, constant weather changes, and high risks of altitude sickness.

Experience the lifetime adventure to the Everest Base Camp Trekking

Setting foot at the base of the world's tallest mountain is a dream of many mountain enthusiasts. It is, in fact, a lifetime opportunity to trekking to the Everest Base Camp. If you've made up your mind, just go for it. It may sound overwhelming when you think about it, but nothing great comes easy. The journey to Everest is full of challenges, but it's nothing you can't overcome. Just imagine yourself reaching your destination after days of hardships. It's a moment of great pleasure. Plus, you'd be accompanied by professional trekking guides who do this for a living and will keep you safe throughout. The mountains are calling, and we must go!

Major Attractions of Everest Base Camp Trek

Major Attractions of Everest Base Camp Trek 14 Days

Thrilling flight to Lukla

The Trekking to Everest Base Camp feels incomplete without the thrilling flight to Lukla. What makes this flight so adventurous? It is, in fact, the Lukla Airport's short landing strip. It boasts one of the world's shortest runways of 525 meters (1,729 feet) and one of the world's highest airports at 2,845 m (9,334 feet). Despite the thrill, the magnificent panoramic views of the Himalayas from the flight will mesmerize you.

Hiking along the Sagarmatha National Park

The EBC trekking itinerary features diverse climatic zones and vegetation. From Phakding and Monjo onwards, you trek through Sagarmatha National Park, home to hundreds of flora and fauna. This park is listed in the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Sites.

For a long time, Sagarmatha National Park has served as a sanctuary for endangered animals and birds. Rare wildlife here includes the Red Panda and Snow Leopard. While taking in the scenery of the beautiful Himalayas, visitors also enjoy bird watching along the trail while in the national park. Enjoy exploring the wilderness at Sagarmatha National Park with our two weeks EBC trek package.

Spending a full day at Namche Bazaar, exploring the rich Sherpa culture

Namche Bazaar is a central hub of the Everest region. Namche was initially a significant trading city in the Khumbu region, situated on the side of an arch-shaped mountain with breathtaking views of prominent Himalayan peaks everywhere. It's a fantastic location to witness outstanding vistas of Nepal's Himalayan region and mountains.

At 3440 meters above sea level, Namche Bazaar serves as the starting point for the classical EBC Trek along with other trails in the region. It's a small, vibrant market town where you can buy everything from trekking and climbing gear to Tibetan souvenirs. Namche also serves as a memorial for many mountaineering expeditions and provides information on the Sherpa people's lifestyle and culture. This small Himalayan town is well known for its yak cheese and butter.

You will be staying in Namche Bazaar for a whole day for acclimatization, allowing you to explore the town and get acquainted with Sherpa's culture and lifestyle. Interact with the locals to make the day even more special.

Visiting the ancient monastery of Tengboche

Tengboche Monastery is one of the main attractions for travelers in the Khumbu region. This historic monastery is a religious site with tremendous importance and also an excellent location to gaze at the mountain peaks.

The monastery was rebuilt in 1961 by Lama Gulu after getting destroyed in the earthquake in 1934. Again, in 1989 the monastery caught on fire. It was successfully restored later. Regardless of such terrible incidents, the Tengboche Monastery still is famed as the oldest and the biggest monastery in the Khumbu region.

Reaching the base camp of the world's highest mountain peak

It is surreal to be standing at the foot of the tallest mountain peak in the world. Some of the most famous mountains encircle the base camp at the foot of the Khumbu Glacier. It offers stunning views of the Himalayas and glaciers. Reaching the base camp of Everest is a tremendous feat itself.

The Standard Everest Base Camp trekking is open for daytime exploration only; overnight stays are prohibited there. The enormous Khumbu Glacier and Khumbu Icefall are the most amazing sights you'll encounter from the site. Take in all you can before heading back from this little piece of heaven. The time you spend at the base camp is the most inspiring in the entire trekking journey.

Kala Patthar for a breathtaking Everest view

Located above the Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar (5545 m) offers 360-degree views of Everest and surrounding mountains. The EBC trek seems incomplete without a hike to Kala Patthar. Most trekkers opt to reach here and gaze at the full face of Everest, which isn't visible from the base camp.

The enormous peaks of Nuptse, Changtse, and Lhotse can also be seen from Kala Patthar. If luck favors you and the weather hosts a perfect ambiance, the hike from Gorakshep to Kala Patthar is definitely worth the struggle. The glorious sunrise painting Everest with an orange hue is a once-in-a-lifetime sight to see.

The memorials at the Thukla Pass

We cross the famed Thukla Pass at 4800 meters on our way from Dingboche to Lobuche. The pass is a memorial for the mountaineers who lost their lives during their Everest Expedition. This location is a sharp reminder of how harsh the mountains can be. As far as the 14 Days Everest Base Camp Journey goes, it will remind you of the risk associated with the attempt to summit. With all the memorials nearby, the silence and strong winds at the top of the pass might sometimes be frightening. But things like these make the trek exciting and memorable.

  • Accommodation:3 Star Hotel

Our guide will pick you up from the hotel after breakfast and take you on an exhilarating flight to Lukla. All of the TIA to Lukla flights have morning departure times. It's because it gets harder to fly in the afternoon when the wind kicks up. Even the journey to Lukla is an extraordinary adventure that will chill you to the bone. The lush hills and neighboring mountains will welcome you as soon as you depart from Kathmandu. It's worthwhile to view the scenery. The Tenzing Hillary Airport at Lukla is among some of the most thrilling airports in the world! Flying between the tall, lush hills and landing on a small path at the foot of the mountains will undoubtedly fill you up with excitement!

You will start your journey to the Everest Base Camp after an exhilarating flight. You will meet porters at the airport before the event, and they will carry most of your loads. After getting ready, the tour guide will lead you down the crowded street to the beginning of the descent to Phakding. From Lukla, we will travel along the Dudh Koshi to Phakding through pine and cedar forests. This demanding journey entails strenuous trekking at high altitudes, but the entire experience is breathtaking! It takes about 4 hours to reach Phakding. We will have an overnight stay at Phakding.

  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

You will begin your trek after a quick breakfast at Phakding. Although the ascent is complex, the breathtaking views, fresh air, and desire to reach the summit keep you going. We'll make several stops along the road to enjoy some spectacular scenery. Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located on your way to Monjo. The national park is full of rare and endangered plants and animals. You might catch a glimpse of some!

You pass some lovely Sherpa villages such as Monjo and Jorsale on the route to Namche. The Namche Bazaar is quite famous among the trekkers of the Everest region, and rightfully so! If you have forgotten to pack anything, you can buy them at Namche! Often called the gateway to Everest, the town is a vibrant mix of cultures, traditions, and the best of Sherpa hospitality. The town is home to various businesses, cafes, cyber cafés, inns, lodges, and guest rooms. Banks, ATMs, money exchanges, and a bustling local market welcome travelers visiting Nepal's Everest region.

We finally reach Namche Bazaar after hiking for around 6 hours. We have an overnight stay at Namche Bazaar.

To help our bodies adapt to the high altitude, we have kept an acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar. But that does not imply that we do not do anything! Being active is the best way to adapt. You will ascend to high altitudes with thin air in the coming days, so getting your body used to new surroundings is crucial. Your excursion guide will take you on short hikes at Sherpa museum or Everest View Point.

You will hike to the Everest View Hotel to gaze at the Nepalese Himalayas in all their glory. The hotel is among the highest-altitude hotels in the world! As you go uphill, the sights get more vivid. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the towering mountains, including Ama Dablam, Mt. Everest, and Lhotse, among others, from a location close to the hotel.

There is a chance to spend a few hours hiking or touring the region. You can also visit the local school if you have the time. Stop by the school Sir Edmund Hillary established in the Khumjung hamlet. It is also a famous exploration site among trekkers. After a range of activities we do on this day, we finally go to our accommodation for dinner and some good night's sleep!

After a quick breakfast in the morning, we take a trail from Namche to Tengboche. The path from Namche to Tengboche is the most beautiful trekking route on the Everest Base Camp trail. At Phungi Thanka, we first drop to the Dudh Koshi Valley before slowly ascending to Tengboche. Officially, you will be between the mountains. Some tallest peaks watching you trek the lovely trail include Mount Everest, Mount Ama Dablam, Mount Nuptse, and Mount Lhotse, among others. Tengboche is the spiritual hub of the Khumbu region, and you can only get into the village after crossing the Imja River.

If we have enough time on our hands, we can also visit the revered Buddhist temple known as Tengboche Monastery. It's an ancient monastery that also provides fantastic views of the Everest region.

After around 5 hours of trekking on this day, we finally reach Tengboche and have an overnight stay here.

The sunrise above Ama Dablam Mountain is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so before you go, leave the comforting warmth of your bed and head outside from your accommodation. After a quick breakfast, we will continue our Everest Base Camp journey with an incredible ascent while passing through deep valleys and enjoying stunning views of enormous mountains. The experience will be fantastic to remember for the rest of one's life.

We cross the Imja River below and take a trek to the high-altitude Sherpa settlement of Dingboche. We proceed from the river to Pangboche village through a beautiful trail that offers stunning views of the mountains and beautiful scenery. The territory, located at an elevation of 3900 meters, lies in a picturesque setting with mountains in the background. We continue going to the hamlets of Dingboche while taking in the vistas of the enormous mountains. Similarly, the trails leading to Dingboche are guarded by Mani walls, chortens, prayer flags, and yak herds along the path.

The impact of the thin air at a high altitude might be felt as you approach Dingboche at the height of 4,410 meters. You must stay calm and continue to keep hydrated at all times. Our guide will use an oximeter to assess your oxygen saturation and see if you're physically fit enough to hike. If you are experiencing signs of altitude sickness, it is recommended to slow down and stop ascending. We finally reach Dingboche after around 6 hours of the hike; we rest at an accommodation there. You deserve a much-needed break after all the hardship you have endured.

  • Max. Altitude:4,350m/14,272ft
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Elevation Gain:483m/1,584ft

An additional day has been set aside for acclimatization. We must acclimatize to protect our health and well-being while we travel at high elevations. At Dingboche, we have planned a day full of activities to help you adapt in the best way possible.

After breakfast, we hike to the adjacent hill Nagerjun to see the surrounding mountains in the daylight. The Nagarjun hill, which rises to a height of 5100 meters, offers stunning views of the Everest region. We have some breathtaking views of lofty peaks in the range, including the Lobuche, Thamserku, and Nagarjun peaks, among others. After a good hike, we descend to Dingboche and explore the village and the surroundings. It has been a blissful day, and we return to our accommodation to restore our energy for the next day!

We are now getting closer and closer to Everest Base Camp. You could start to struggle a little bit as we continue to ascend. Be sure to move slowly and inform your guide of whatever you are feeling. To begin with, we take a trail through large valleys till we reach Thukla. The courses are now covered in snow and have become deserted. You are currently moving over the tree line. As a result, you will see that there are no more trees or rolling hills. We continue on and eventually arrive in Lobuche after crossing some yak fields. Here in Lobuche, there are no permanent Sherpa villages. Although, you'll be surrounded by stunning views of the nearby tea houses and towering mountains.

It has been a good hike of around 7 hours. We have a much-deserved overnight stay at an accommodation here at Lobuche.

  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Elevation Gain:590m/1,936ft

  • Walking Distance:8km/5mi

The wait is finally over. We leave for Gorakshep at the height of about 5100 meters after a quick breakfast. Only a few guesthouses run throughout the trekking seasons; therefore, the area is likewise sparsely populated. The guide will lead you to a guest house as we approach Gorakshep, where you may leave your bulky equipment. You will return to Gorakshep, so you should keep your bulky equipment here. We then proceed to Everest Base Camp. This is a proud moment for all of us! You've been anticipating the day for a week now.

As you ascend forward, you can witness the magnificence of the Khumbu glacier. The glacier is also the highest globally, at around 4900m. You will have your best moment as you stroll through the ice patterns and small water ponds. Be careful, as severe scree and moraine conditions could cause foot injury. After a few hours' hike, you can finally locate stone signage marking the Everest Base Camp.

Touring the region, you may explore the most incredible peaks' majesty rising right in front of you. Take pictures, enjoy the moment and most importantly, feel proud of yourself! After staying here for quite some time, we head back to Gorakshep and have an overnight stay here. This is well deserved!

If you feel like taking a short hike to Kala Patthar, this is the day. Kala Patthar is the highest altitude you can reach during the journey at around 5555m. However, you can also keep it optional if you do not feel like getting there. The trip to Everest Base Camp is already exhausting enough, and you do not have to stress yourself.

We observe the sun's golden rays as they fall over the sparkling snow of Mount Everest and other soaring peaks in the range of Kala Patthar. Bless yourself as you stand at the base of the world's great mountains. From Kala Patthar, you can observe the most apparent face of Mount Everest. Relish the moment and take some beautiful pictures for memories! After staying there for some time, we prepare to descend. First, we trek back to Gorakshep and then drop at a small settlement at Pheriche.

The trek takes around 7 hours, including the hike to Kala Patthar. We have an overnight stay at Pheriche.

After a quick breakfast, we head for our journey. The trek from Pheriche to Namche takes the same route we took while ascending. The path is extensive. The mountain views continue indefinitely. So make periodic stops to take in additional sights of the Everest region. We make our way slowly toward Namche, passing through several small settlements and villages. Once you reach Namche, have a nice shower to cap off the day. Ask your guide to take you to a few neighborhood cafes so you may sample freshly made cookies and beverages!

Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty Level

The 14 Days Itinerary of Everest Base Camp Trek in the Everest Region is a moderate trip. If you are someone trekking for the first time, especially on the Himalayan trail, then this trek can become difficult for you. You have to walk for around 5 to 6 hours at a minimum each day. The trail includes several ups & downs through the steep and rugged path as well. Good health and physical fitness are needed to go on this trek.

Are you worried that the Everest Base Camp Difficulty would ruin the overall experience? Don't worry; once you've gained a thorough understanding of the challenges you'll face, you can plan accordingly and tackle the trek challenges. Isn't it a waste of time to go on a trek if there aren't any obstacles to overcome? Overcoming the difficulty of the trip will make your walk even more memorable, and you will be more prepared for your next climb.

Permits needed for the Everest Base Camp

Our Everest Base Camp 14 Days package to the base camp region of the Everest trek requires two permits from the concerned authority. Everest Region has established a new permission system as a result of decentralization. A Trekker's Information Management System (TIMS) Card will no longer be required. The local government collects the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit directly. This permit is not accessible in Kathmandu and is only available in Lukla. All additional licenses can be obtained at the Nepal Tourism Board's Kathmandu headquarters. The costs and processes for obtaining these permits vary.

Trekking in the stunning landscapes of Sagarmatha National Park requires a Sagarmatha National Park permit. The Nepal Tourism Board's office on Pradarshani Marg, Kathmandu, sells the Sagarmatha National Park Permit. Thamel may be reached in 30 minutes on foot. The Sagarmatha National Park Permit can also be obtained at Monjo. Monjo, a small town, serves as the park's entry. Trekkers who wish to trek the pristine foothills in the Everest Region must obtain a Sagarmatha National Park permit.

Best time to go on a trek to the Everest Base Camp

"Nepal for all seasons," the motto goes. Trekking in Nepal is always favorable for trekkers, as it is possible to trek to the base camp at any time of year. However, the most preferable time to go on EBC Trek is in spring and autumn. The weather is more stable and moderate, which makes the journey joyful. March, April and May falls under spring, whereas October to November falls under autumn. You can also go on trekking in winter, however, the extreme cold will not be a good choice for most trekkers. You can get the best experience at the Base Camp Trek in October and the EBC Trek in November for great shots of the Himalayas.

Weather in the Everest Region including the Everest Base Camp

Seasons affect the weather and climate of the Base Camp. Thus, we categorize the weather and surroundings into four seasons: spring, monsoon, autumn, and winter. The weather is pleasant and dry in the spring (March to May). The visibility is excellent, making this the best trekking season for Everest. Similarly, rain keeps the path wet during the monsoon season (June to August). Because of patches of cloud, vision is also hazy. Hence, we do not advise trekking during the monsoon season. However, it is still doable.

The trek is also best done in the autumn (September to November). The weather is dry and bright, and visibility is excellent at this time. The winter months (December, January and  February are extremely chilly. The walkway is covered in snow, making walking difficult. Expect the mountains to be cold. On the top, it's always frigid. The weather becomes windy in the afternoon, with heavy breezes. Trekking is still possible in Nepal during the early or late winter.

Length of the Everest Base Camp Trekking

The Everest base camp trek 14 days is 130 kilometers long, or roughly 80 miles, from Lukla to Kathmandu. Similarly, starting from Namche Bazaar and returning is 51.2 kilometers. In addition, the journey from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp is approximately 153 kilometers in a straight line. It's also a long, classic, and well-known trekking excursion. The trek will take you to Mt. Everest's foothills, passing via many Sherpa settlements and natural heritage locations.

You will finish in two weeks with Outfitter Nepal, with two days set aside as acclimatization days in the itinerary. The average daily walking distance is 12–15 kilometers, with a time commitment of 5-7 hours.

Lukla is the beginning point for the trek. We fly from Kathmandu to Lukla early in the morning because flying in the afternoon is difficult owing to strong winds. It takes about 30 minutes to go from Kathmandu to Lukla.

You will be met by a porter who will carry your luggage and a trekking guide for your journey once we arrive at Tenzing Hillary Airport, one of the world's most challenging high-altitude airports. Following your preparations, the guide will lead you on a journey to Phakding, which will take you along the Dudh Koshi River and through the alpine forest. It takes us three hours to trek from Lukla to Phakding, a distance of about eight kilometers.

That night, you'll spend the night in the finest guesthouse in the region. Take a break and enjoy the meal before your next day-long journey. After Phakding, we'll start our lengthy hiking days.

Preparing Yourself for the Everest Base Camp Journey

Treks to Everest Base Camp are strenuous. Though anyone in good health can accomplish this journey, the fitter you are, the more enjoyable it will be. Thus, we encourage you participate in stamina-building exercises a few weeks before your excursion. Swimming, cycling, and jogging are all options. It's also a good idea to go on short hikes that last between six and eight hours.

Because Everest Base Camp Hikes take place at such high altitudes, you'll need to bring suitable clothing, footwear, and other gear. Remember to bring a good camera because you will be seeing some of the most extreme and thrilling high-altitude terrain, which you may want to photograph.

What kind of Trekking Arrangements do We Provide?

We operate solo, private as well as group departures to the Everest region. Trekking to Everest Base Camp on your own can be a very delightful experience that offers complete privacy, freedom, and even cost-effectiveness. We are okay with however you would want to trek!

Food during the Everest Base Camp Trek

Because we'll be trekking at great altitudes around the world's highest peak, your body will require plenty of carbohydrates and proteins. The meals we give on this trek are easy and hygienic! We encourage having local foods and delicacies since it is way more hygienic. Better than having frozen foods that take days to transport to the trails.

We handpick the best hotels/lodges/restaurants, ensuring that the cuisine is fresh, clean, delicious, and nutritional. We recommend Dal Bhat, a Nepalese dish that feeds your body with sufficient carbohydrates and protein. The lentils, beans, and pulses soup will provide you with ample protein. Syakpa, also called Sherpa stew is also quite popular! Seasonal veggies will be served in the guest's home as well, supplying your body with additional nutrients.

If you give them a chance, you can try other menu items such as Momo (Dumplings), locally grown Barley, Buckwheat, Millet, and Corn Roti (Bread), noodles, sandwiches, bakery items, tea, coffee, and many more. Buckwheat, millet, and barley are high in fiber and nutritionally dense grains. Noodles, spaghetti, macaroni, pizza, lasagna, different curry, and fried rice are just a few examples of foods that may be made with basic preparation.

At high elevations, we highly recommend liquids such as green tea, lemon tea, hot lemon, ginger tea, and garlic soup (a necessity), as well as fresh vegetable items. Though there will be lots of non-vegetarian options, we will not encourage them because the meat in such establishments may not be as hygienic.

We strongly advise you to avoid dairy and cheese products, as well as alcoholic beverages, caffeinated beverages, and hot chocolates, as specialists’ advice against them on high-altitude treks.

Concerns about altitude sickness during the Everest Base Camp Trek

You should know how your body reacts to high altitude before you start your trek journey. When you start your trek to the Everest Base Camp, it's almost certain that you'll have one or more symptoms of altitude sickness, So, how can we Avoid Altitude Sickness at your Base Camp to Everest trek? The human body isn't designed to thrive at altitudes of 3000 meters or higher, and you'll notice that it craves more oxygen.

Headaches, a lack of appetite, difficulty sleeping, fuzzy vision, nausea, difficulty breathing, a high heart rate, and exhaustion are some of the symptoms. If these symptoms worsen or continue, it's best to take a day off or descend to a lower-altitude village until your body adjusts.

Note: This information is offered solely for educational purposes so that you are aware of what to expect before visiting the Everest Region. The Himalayan Rescue Association (HRA), based in Kathmandu, runs a primary hospital in Pheriche for basic therapy. It is suggested to seek medical attention at the hospital. It is the trekker's responsibility to do some research on altitude sickness and how to avoid it before traveling into the mountains.

Making Sure you are Safe during the Everest Base Camp Trekking

Trekking at high altitudes entails some inherent dangers. To make sure you are safe during the trekking, our guides have undergone extensive wilderness first-aid training. We have medical kits and other equipment on hand in case of an emergency. More so, at high elevations, we employ oximeters to continuously measure blood oxygen saturation to detect health anomalies.

For trekking in the Everest Region, altitude sickness is a prevalent problem. Make sure you do not skip acclimatization because your body needs time to adjust to the thin air. You must not disregard the indicators of altitude sickness. In such instances, helicopters are dispatched to transport you back to safety (funded by insurance).

We understand how challenging it is to navigate in a different place. Thus, we make sure to look after you from the time you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport until you depart. You can reach out to us at any moment if you require assistance. We don't want you to feel helpless and alone in a completely different country. If you journey with us, you become a member of our global family, where we look out for one another.

There are a few pieces of furniture in the room, as well as a mattress, blanket, and pillow. If you're a solo trekker, we can manage separate rooms for you accordingly as well.

Things to Keep in Mind before you go on a Trekking to the Everest Base Camp:

  • If you cannot obtain Everest Base Camp Trekking equipment in your native country, do not despair; it is widely accessible for sale or rental in Kathmandu.
  • Before entering Lukla, make sure you have done some research beforehand.

Things to keep in your mind while you’re on your Everest Base Camp Journey

  • High-altitude areas are high-risk areas. Thus, do not embark on your journey alone. Travel with a companion or a guide at all times. It's because, in high-altitude areas, we never know what will happen and when.
  • Don't enter any unauthorized areas. Stay on the path at all times.
  • Acclimatization days can help you cope with rising elevations and avoid altitude sickness. Make sure you don't skip acclimatization days.
  • Take care not to walk too quickly. Take your time. You may become tired quickly if you walk hastily. It's because we gain altitude as we get closer to Mt. Everest with each step. As a result, it may be harmful to your health.
  • Leave no plastics or other trash on the hiking trail. Request that your guide disposes of it for you.
  • Always show consideration for the people and have a nice demeanour.
  • Do not transgress because you are enthralled by the high-altitude Mountains all around you. The sight of the world's tallest mountains right in front of them excites and delights everyone. Enjoy the journey, but stay away from dangerous places. Otherwise, it may put you in danger and jeopardize your Everest Base Camp adventure.

Travel Tips (just in case)

Internet Service

In contrast to the Annapurna region, where WiFi is plentiful, the Everest region is lacking it. Wi-Fi is available in the larger cities of Namche and Lukla, but it may cost $1-$2 per device. An Everest Link prepaid internet card is required outside of Namche and Lukla. For 200 MB of internet, it can cost around 600 rupees ($6). This is available for purchase and usage in each of the guesthouses.

If you buy a SIM card in Kathmandu, you'll get a 4G service in Namche and an occasional 3G service in Tengboche. You can buy Ncell or Ntc prepaid SIM cards which won’t cost must but will provide you service until certain points! Phone networks are unavailable at higher elevations. As a result, the locals rely on the Internet services of Everest Link. Surprisingly, there is an NTC tower at Gorakshep, therefore calls can be made via NTC.

If you don't want to spend the money on them, inform your friends and family that you'll be without internet for the duration of your trek!!

ATM services

Namche Bazaar has the lone ATM on the entire journey for international trekkers!

However, Namche's ATMs are unpredictable, and they're frequently out of operation owing to power outages or just running out of cash. The ATMs also charge a withdrawal fee of 500 rupees ($5) and have a maximum withdrawal limit of 10,000 rupees ($100). The bottom line, and something to keep in mind before ascending the base camp, is that you should bring all of your money from Kathmandu!!

Charging

Throughout the trekking in the Everest Region, there is the availability of electricity. Hydroelectricity powers the lower areas, while solar energy powers the upper sections. You can charge your electronics at any time throughout the EBC trek, however, it will be an additional expense. And if you're not properly informed and prepared, you can find yourself spending a lot of money on these items.

Except in rooms with attached toilets or high-end hotels in the Everest Region, there are no charging outlets in other rooms. For charging electronics, the hotels feature shared charging facilities in the dining hall or near the front desk. Because there are a limited number of multi plugs, there will be a rivalry for sockets. Thus, we recommend getting power banks for your personal use.

Tipping

A tip is an established and respected way in Nepali society to express gratitude (Dhanyabad) for good service.

On the last day of the trek, the majority of our guests give tips. The amount you tip is totally up to you, and it may be more or less based on your impression of service quality, the length of your trip, your budget, and your appreciation for their efforts. However, it is recommended to tip at least 10% of your charge!

Luggage

If you want to carry your luggage, make sure you don’t exceed more than 10kg for yourself. Pack things that are only necessary. If you are hiring our porter service, then the majority of your luggage will be carried by porters. One porter will be allocated to two persons, and the total weight of their luggage should not exceed 15 kg. We can additionally provide one porter per person if necessary.

Porters are only allowed to carry a total of 30kg, which is usually two 15kg bags. As a result, please be mindful of this when packing and keep your baggage weight to a minimum, further more about the trip packing list.

Personal Expenses

Keep some cash on hand in case you want to buy souvenirs, food, or drinks. Other costs, like travel insurance and international flight tickets, are not included in our package price. For further details, see our cost includes and exclusions section.

IMPORTANT: In Case of Lukla Flight Cancellations

Our EBC trek package is all about trekking. Thus, we highly recommend you keep 1 to 2 days at hand. This is because the weather in the Himalayas is highly unpredictable. Thus, due to bad weather, the Lukla flight may get delayed or even canceled. We would not want you to miss your flight back home! On top of that, with the leisure day in hand, you can even have a sightseeing day around the city! At Outfitter Nepal, we make sure you get the best sightseeing around the city and some adventure activities, such as a: mountain flight by plane or Bungy or Rafting, etc.

Sometimes flights get canceled after waiting a few hours at the airport because of the unpredictable weather conditions at Lukla. The chances of getting the next flight are pretty slim. In case of flight cancellations, we suggest:

Taking a Helicopter Flight

This is the best alternative because this is going to occur on a sharing basis making the cost to be only USD 500 - USD 700 per head!

Taking a Chartered Flight

You can also charter a helicopter flight while the whole of the flight costs you around USD 2700 - USD 3000!

Note: Some insurance policies will cover emergency flights, cancellations, or adjusting international travel rates if there is an issue. Before getting your travel insurance, make sure you understand all of the policies, terms, and restrictions. If you need to make a genuine claim on your insurance, Outfitter Nepal will be able to supply the necessary paperwork.

But if you want to extend your trekking days, there are Jiri to Base Camp Trek options as well!

Visa for Nepal

A tourist visa is required for the EBC Trek. You can also simply obtain an arrival visa upon arrival at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. You can apply for a 30-day multiple-entry tourist visa. This will set you back US$ 50 (or the equivalent in your currency). Similarly, for US$135, you may obtain multiple-entry tourist visas valid for 90 days. Please remember to bring two passport-size photographs. Further more about Nepal Department of Immigration.

FAQsEverest Base Camp Trek - 14 Days frequently asked questions

  • The planes that fly to Lukla are small, and the total weight limit per person, including main luggage and hand luggage, is only 15 KG. You should be able to keep your luggage within 10 KG. You can pay an extra fee to take a few extra kilograms, but this is not assured because extra luggage is only accessible when extra space is available.

  • Trekking to Everest Base Camp, which is located at 5364 meters above sea level and takes 11-12 days, is unquestionably difficult. "How fit should I be?" is a question we get from all of our trekkers who are intending to go on the journey? "What kind of training should we do to prepare for the Everest base camp trek"? Is there any training required for the trek to Everest base camp?

    To answer these issues, there is no set or scheduled training course for completing the Everest Base Camp journey, and it may vary for different tourists depending on where they live and whether or not they have access to frequent hiking or trekking, as well as the altitude at which they live.

  • To trek to Everest base camp, you will need a National Park permit as well as a TIMS (Trekkers Information Management System) permit. So, here's how much the permits for the Everest base camp trek cost:

    Fees for Sagarmatha National Park Entry is 3000.00 NPR

    Fees for a TIMS permit is 1000.00 NPR

  • Weather and Everest Base Camp are two sides of the same coin that are inseparable and always the talk of many people that want to visit Everest Base Camp.

    At an altitude of 5364 meters, the Everest Base Camp may be exceedingly chilly in December and January, reaching almost -18 degrees Celsius. Thus, only a few individuals dare to trek to EBC during these months, despite the fact that it is doable, and most people choose to trip in the autumn or spring when the weather is more pleasant. Get the most up-to-date information about the weather at Everest Base Camp.

  • Yes, most of the guest houses/lodges in most of the places/villages along the Everest Base Camp trails have Wi-Fi, and it will cost you some money. However, it is not guaranteed, and it may not function at all times, so don't count on it.

  • This is the list of gear you require for your Everest Base Camp journey:

    • Rain Jackets for early September
    • A good quality Sleeping Bag
    • A pair of comfortable trekking boots (waterproof)
    • Trekking trousers (waterproof)
    • Trekking shirts
    • Jackets (Down and fleece)
    • Caps or Hats for head
    • Trekking socks
    • Moisturizer and sunscreen lotions
    • Sunglasses with UV protection
    • Trekking Poles for ascends and descends
    • Solar Torch
    • Refillable hot water bottles with water purifiers
    • Toiletries including toothbrushes, toothpaste, dry and wet tissues, soaps, shampoos, Sanitizer gel or hand wash gel, a lightweight towel, etc.
    • First aid kit with essential medicines.

  • It is up to you whether you want to book the trek in advance through the internet or once you arrive in Nepal with a local company. There are many trekking agencies in Kathmandu that offer Everest base camp treks, and it is simple to book with any of them. However, we recommend that you book the trek in advance because you will be able to travel with peace of mind once you have booked and arranged the trek before you arrive in Nepal.

    The company arranges airport transfers, hotels in Kathmandu, flights to Lukla, permits, and trip lodging, as well as guides and porters, so it is quite easy to travel and trek in Nepal when you book and arrange the trek in advance.

  • It is entirely up to you whether you want to trek solo or in a group. At Outfitter Nepal we provide both options upon request. Both treks have advantages: if you book a private solo trek, you can trek at your own pace without feeling rushed, and you won't have to stick to a set itinerary because you'll have your own private guide and porter. Additionally, the private solo trek to Everest Base Camp will cost you a little more than a group trek to Everest Base Camp.

  • Yes, there are other tours where you can see the Everest and several other mountains without trekking to the Everest base camp, such as a regular Everest Mountain flight tour for an hour that many domestic airlines offer every morning, or a Helicopter flight tour that goes to the Everest and even lands in Kala Patthar to view the Everest and the other Himalayas, and these trips are suitable for those with limited time or who are unable to trek and hike.

  • Yes, travel insurance is mandatory for the Everest base camp trek because it is an adventure trek in the high Himalayas with inherent risks. You must have travel insurance that covers emergency evacuation as the Helicopter is the only means of transporting you back to the city/Kathmandu in the event of an accident or illness, including acute mountain sickness.

  • The cost of the trek varies depending on how you do the trek to Everest Base Camp. The basic 12-day trek from Kathmandu to Kathmandu costs around 1000.00 – 1200.00 USD per person and includes most of the things you need for the trek. If you want to book the full 16-day trek, it costs between 1300.00 – 1600.00 USD depending on different services and the company you choose, and your personal expenses will be a extra cost, and takes around 300USD.

  • Yes, most hotels/guest houses and most camps/villages have electricity to charge your camera and mobile batteries, and some sites even have solar power. However, there may not be enough power to charge your equipment, so we recommend bringing some spare batteries to your Everest base camp Trek.

  • You can buy water purification tablets to purify your water source. You can also get free tap water, then use the medicine and drink the water, which is a good way to save money. However, bottled water or boiled water is available in every lodge/teahouse, and the cost of bottled water ranges from 100.00 to 350.00 NPR, and it is advisable to drink about 4-6 litres of water per day.

  • On the Everest Base Camp Trek, you do not need to bring your own food because meals are offered at the lodges/restaurants along the way. However, it is advised to pack some energy bars/chocolates such as Snickers, Twix bars, and snacks that will help you acquire more energy during the trek.

  • Yes, hot showers are obtainable in most of the lodges on the EBC trails; however, most people do not take showers every day on the Everest Base Camp trek; instead, they take showers just a few times, such as in Namche, Dingboche, and Lukla, where the cost of a shower ranges from 300.00 to 600.00 NPR.

  • The total length of the Everest base camp trek is determined by where you begin and end the trek. There are a few options for starting the trek, such as Jiri, Phaplu, or Lukla, but most people begin the trek from Lukla. If you begin the trek from Lukla, it is approximately 130 kilometers to Everest base camp and back, and it takes 10-14 days depending on your pace and other factors. Read about the Everest Base Camp Trek distance in detail!

  • The weather in Lukla is pretty unpredictable, especially during the monsoon season (June – September). Thus, it is important that you have a couple of days at hand in case your flight is delayed or in the worst-case scenario, canceled! You can either wait for the next day to get your flight, which is listed to fly the last the next day or, you can hire a helicopter service! It is really important to make up your mind that if the weather is really bad, sometimes even the helicopter does not fly!

  • No, learning Nepali is not required to participate in the trek to the Everest Base Camp. To converse, you will have a trekking guide who speaks English. In addition, the majority of the residents in hotels and shops speak Basic English. Learn a few Nepali terms for travel if you wish to interact with youngsters and the Sherpa residents in the regions. Give Nepali a try; it's not as difficult as you may think.

  • The trek can certainly be done with your family and children. Altitude sickness affects youngsters at the same rate as it does adults, according to studies. There is no indication that children are more susceptible to altitude sickness. Go with your child if he or she is physically and mentally capable of an altitude trek. However, your children should be able to walk for 5-7 hours every day at a high altitude on average.

    While traveling, remember to practice some simple workouts and breathing exercises. Avoid junk food and instead eat a more balanced diet that includes carbohydrates and fiber. Small children should not be brought, however children over the age of 13 can attempt the hike.

  • Tipping is very acceptable and expected when trekking in Nepal. It is customary to tip your guide and porter if you have hired them. Make sure you tip your tour operator at least 10-15% of the entire amount you spent!

  • No, the trek is not as dangerous and intimidating as it might seem! As we will trek in the Himalayas, you must be careful regarding the trail. Make sure to follow the instructions given by the guide, go slow and steady and hydrate yourself frequently.

  • Make sure to include cardio exercises in your training. It is better to exercise at least a month before your trek. Add jogging or morning walks, or even short hiking for your training. It is better to go consistent with your workout routine!

  • Only trek via a trustworthy and reputable trekking company. Make sure the trekking company is credible and has a lot of experience trekking in the Himalayas, especially in the Everest region. It is essential to research your part as well.

  • Although you can accomplish the trek without any guide and porter, we suggest you hire them. This is because the Himalayas can get quite unpredictable, and having someone who knows the route will help you, particularly in case of emergencies. Similarly, a porter will carry most of our heavy luggage, and you will not be burnt out during the trek. Hiring a guide and a porter reduces many hassles for you!

  • Yes and no! Contrary to popular belief, you will only get a small glimpse of Everest from the base camp. If you want to catch the full view of the peak, you should hike to Kala Patthar.

  • An overnight stay at the base camp is only permitted to the mountaineers who summit Everest. This is not included for the trekkers who only make it to the base camp region. You can still get the permit, but it will be costly and may not be as beneficial.

  • You must check with your doctor before leaving home and act on their advice, and we have discovered that many trekkers have done so. Even if Diamox is used for prevention, it may have certain side effects.

  • On the Everest base camp trail, hotel/guest house lodging is available, and most of it is modest. However, some places/villages on the Everest base camp trail offer luxury/deluxe accommodation, such as Lukla, Phakding, and Namche.

    If we are visiting in the autumn or spring, we must reserve hotels/accommodation in advance, as these seasons are the busiest for the EBC Trek, but if we are traveling in other months, we will have no trouble finding lodging.

  • The best times to visit Everest Base Camp are in the autumn (September to mid-December) and spring (March to May), although the trek may be done at any time of year, albeit with some difficulty in other seasons. The majority of people believe that the best time to trek to Everest Base Camp is during the summer season. Read more about the best time to trek to Everest Base Camp in Nepal.

  • The difficulty of trekking in the Everest Region varies depending on the place you are going on a trek. The trek that only takes you to the Base Camp is rated moderately difficult. Thus, to prepare yourself for the trek, you can start taking mild to regular exercises or cardio related workouts!

    Unforgettable Trek to Everest Base camp

    We booked our Everest Base Camp Trek with Outfitter Nepal. Our guide is a handsome young and fun guy and we were able to clicked throughout the hike. Every night we sat in the tea house and play card games. We taught him how to play monopoly, while he taught us Nepalese culture We are being taken very good care of throughout the trip.

    Towards the end my friend was caught with altitude sickness, and we were being forced to cut short our trip and evacuate through helicopter.

    Outfitter Nepal has helped us arranged the accommodation in Kathmandu. It is quite an enjoyable stay throughout.

    Thank you, Outfitter Nepal!
