Everest Base Camp Trekking (14 Days)

When you get to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, our representative will meet you and take you to your hotel in Thamel, the city's most famous tourist area. After you check in and rest, there will be a pre-trek briefing in the evening with your trekking guide. During this session, we’ll go over the trek plan, check your gear, and answer any questions. You’ll also enjoy a welcome dinner featuring authentic Nepali cuisine. Overnight at hotel.

Our trip starts with a beautiful early morning flight to Lukla, which is the route to get to the Everest region. The flight lasts 30 minutes and gives you stunning views of the Himalayan peaks. It culminates with a dramatic landing at the famous Lukla airport. After meeting the porters and getting everything ready, we start our walk by going down through woods of pine and rhododendrons. The trek goes along the Dudh Koshi River and crosses a few hanging suspension bridges. We get at Phakding village, which is on the riverbed, after a short, easy hike. Stay the night in the teahouse. Dinner is included.

After breakfast, we continue along the trail, passing through small villages like Benkar and Monjo. Just after Monjo, we enter Sagarmatha National Park, where permits are checked. Then we descend to the river, cross a high suspension bridge, and begin a steep ascent through forests. The climb is challenging but rewarding as we reach Namche Bazaar, the largest Sherpa town in the Khumbu region. On clear days, you may catch your first view of Mount Everest. Namche is well-equipped with cafes, bakeries, gear shops, and even ATMs. Overnight at teahouse.

To help your body adjust to the altitude, we spend an extra day in Namche. This isn’t a rest day in the traditional sense but a chance to hike higher and sleep low. We hike up to the Everest View Hotel (3,880m) for panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. Along the way, we visit the Sherpa Culture Museum and Khumjung village, home to a school built by Sir Edmund Hillary. After returning to Namche, you have the rest of the day to relax, explore the town, or grab a coffee at a local bakery.

We leave Namche on a relatively flat trail with stunning mountain views. The path gradually descends to the Dudh Koshi River, which we cross before making a steep climb through pine and rhododendron forest to reach the spiritual heart of the region—Tengboche. This village is home to the famous Tengboche Monastery, where trekkers and climbers receive blessings before heading toward Everest. The views from here are extraordinary, especially of Ama Dablam. In the evening, you may attend the monastery's prayer session.

We descend through beautiful forests, cross the Imja Khola river, and climb uphill past the villages of Debuche and Pangboche. As we gain altitude, the landscape changes—trees begin to fade and give way to shrubs and alpine meadows. The trail opens up to views of the surrounding peaks and glacial rivers. After a gradual uphill walk along stone walls and fields, we reach Dingboche, a windy settlement surrounded by towering mountains

Another important acclimatization day is spent in Dingboche. To aid the process, we hike to Nagarjun Hill (around 5,100m), a viewpoint above the village offering breathtaking views of Makalu, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Island Peak. The uphill hike is slow and steady, giving you time to practice walking at higher altitudes. After returning, you can explore Dingboche, take photos, or simply relax with a book in the warm dining hall.

Today’s trail climbs gradually through alpine terrain. We pass the settlement of Dughla and reach Thukla Pass, where emotional stone memorials honor climbers who lost their lives on Everest. The terrain becomes more rugged as we ascend along glacial moraines beside the Khumbu Glacier. After one final push, we arrive in the small village of Lobuche. It’s often cold and windy here, but the surrounding views of snow-covered peaks are unforgettable

This is the day you’ve been waiting for. We start early and trek to Gorak Shep, the last settlement before Everest Base Camp. After a short break, we leave our bags and hike to Everest Base Camp following the rugged glacier trail. Upon arrival, you’ll stand at the foot of the tallest mountain on earth, surrounded by icefalls, glaciers, and prayer flags. After enjoying this once-in-a-lifetime moment and taking photos, we return to Gorak Shep for the night.

We wake up before sunrise and hike to Kala Patthar, the best viewpoint in the Everest region. From the summit, you’ll witness the glowing golden sunrise over Mount Everest, Nuptse, and Pumori. This is the highest point of your trek. After this breathtaking experience, we descend to Gorak Shep for breakfast and continue our downhill journey to Pheriche, a windy valley with several lodges and an aid post.

The return journey continues as we descend through familiar landscapes, passing Pangboche and Tengboche villages again. The walk is easier with each step, and the air feels richer in oxygen. After reaching Namche Bazaar, you’ll have a chance to enjoy a hot shower and celebrate your successful trek.

Our final day of trekking follows the Dudh Koshi River back through Monjo and Phakding to Lukla. The trail is mostly downhill, and by now, you’ll notice how much stronger you feel. Once in Lukla, it's time to celebrate with your guide and porter.

We take an early flight from Lukla to Kathmandu. When you get there, our team will pick you up and take you to your hotel. You can rest, shop for souvenirs, or see the city for the rest of the day. We'll have a farewell supper in the evening to honor your trip. Stay the night at a hotel in Kathmandu.

We'll take you to the airport for your international flight after breakfast. It’s time to say goodbye to Nepal, but the memories of Everest Base Camp will stay with you forever.
