How much money do I need to bring with me?

Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

What is the weather going to be like when I travel to Everest Base Camp?

The weather in Nepal varies by season. For example, November to January is the dry season with sunny days, clear skies and usually no rain. However, on Everest Base Camp, the temperatures at this altitude will be cold, particularly at night. February to May and September to October is the most popular time to travel to EBC, with usually fairly dry and stable weather, although there may be the occasional shower. June to August is monsoon season in Nepal, but once you pass 3,000 meters altitude there is less and less rain. Check out our guide on the best time to visit Nepal for more on specific monthly climate and seasons.

Is quarantine in Nepal in effect for arriving visitors?

There are no quarantine requirements in Nepal for arriving visitors at the moment.

Are there bag weight restrictions for the small aircraft flight from Kathmandu to Lukla?

Yes. The baggage weight allowance on the flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is 10 kg for checked baggage plus 5kg for hand baggage for a total of 15 kg. Bags overweight will be charged approximately USD 1 per kg over the limit.

How much should my backpack weigh?

A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.

Explore the Himalayas and learn about the Sherpa lifestyle
Take one of the most daring flights in the world to Lukla airport
Explore the famous Namche Bazaar and hike to the luxury Everest View Hotel

This 12-day Classic Everest Base Camp Trek unfolds the world's most picturesque walk, leading you through breathtaking landscapes and Sherpa villages nestled amidst the mighty Himalayas.

Imagine crisp mountain air, dense forests brimming with vibrant life, and roaring rivers carving through ancient glacial ice. Feel the thrill of crossing suspension bridges adorned with prayer flags, and immerse yourself in the rich culture of the legendary Sherpa people.

This trek isn't just about stunning scenery. It's about reaching the iconic Kala Patthar viewpoint, where the Himalayas rise up close and personal. It's about soaking in the spiritual atmosphere of monasteries with maroon-clad monks and nuns. And it's about connecting with the warm smiles and traditions of the locals.

Start your adventure with a scenic flight to Lukla, a charming hill town perched in the mountains. From there, the gentle introduction to Phakding leads you deeper into the Everest region. Conquer Namche Bazaar, a bustling Sherpa hub, and explore the culturally rich settlements of Tengboche. Climb higher to Dingboche, the highest year-round settlement, and feel the thrill of Lobuche, Gorakshep, and finally, Everest Base Camp itself.

The journey will test your physical and mental endurance, but with an average of 5-6 hours of walking per day, even beginners with reasonable fitness can achieve this dream. Prepare with activities like cycling, swimming, hill climbing, and walking to embrace the trek to its fullest.
Our carefully planned itinerary, top-notch customer service, and an unwavering focus on trekker safety will take you to the crown jewel of the Himalayas with confidence and ease.
