Our 15-day Everest Base Camp trek is a teahouse trek that includes arrival, departure, and a one-day city tour. We begin with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. The journey to base camp and back to Lukla is entirely on foot, so it’s essential to have high-quality trekking boots and suitable gear. This trek package allows time to acclimatize to the altitude, incorporating side trips in the Khumbu region and maintaining consistent altitudes for several days. The highest point on this trek is 5,545 meters at Kala Patthar, renowned as the best viewpoint in the Everest region.

The trek to Everest Base Camp is possible year-round; however, the ideal times to visit are from early March to mid-May and from early September to mid-November. Winters can be harsh and cold, making travel difficult, as many lodges may be closed due to the high altitude. In the summer, most routes are wet, and magnificent mountain views may be obscured by clouds. For more information about what is included and what is excluded from our package, check our Everest Base Camp trek cost. If this package does not meet your needs, consider our other options: the Everest View Trek (11 days) or the Everest Chola Pass Trek (18 days).

Nepal...... what a place! Did the Everest base camp expedition and it was out of this world. Bishnu was the guide and he was an expert of the Himalayas. I had one of the best few weeks of my life trekking with an absolutely great group of people. I saw sights that will stay with me all of my life and I hope to return, to see Bishnu and to try another of the fantastic expeditions on offer.
