Embark on an extraordinary 20-day adventure through the Everest region, a journey that captures the essence of trekking in Nepal. The Everest Base Camp trek, renowned as the pinnacle of trekking experiences, awaits you. This guided expedition not only leads you to the base camp of the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, but also presents the opportunity to conquer three high mountain passes: Kongma La Pass (5535m), Cho-La Pass (5368m), and Renjo-La Pass (5360m).

Your expedition commences in Kathmandu, Nepal's vibrant capital, where you'll soak in the rich culture and heritage of this remarkable country. From there, you'll take a scenic flight to Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region. The journey unfolds as you traverse the charming villages of Namche, Tengboche, and Dingboche, each offering unique perspectives of the Himalayan landscape. Your path leads you to the awe-inspiring Chhukhung Ri viewpoint, followed by an exhilarating crossing of Kongma La en route to Lobuche.

Day 11 marks a pivotal moment as you step onto the hallowed grounds of Everest Base Camp. The following morning, the sunrise atop Kala Patthar (5550m) paints the Himalayas with an enchanting palette. Traverse the dramatic Khumbu Glacier and conquer the challenging Cho-La Pass before reaching Gokyo, a pristine mountain sanctuary adorned with sparkling lakes. Gaze upon the mesmerizing vistas from Gokyo's viewpoint before embarking on the trail to Marulung. The final leg of your journey descends to Lukla, where you'll catch a flight back to Kathmandu, concluding an unforgettable expedition in the heart of the Everest region.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this tour.
  • 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.

  • Is quarantine in Nepal in effect for arriving visitors?

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

  • 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.  

  • Do I need a porter?

    The decision to hire a porter is up to you and usually based on your fitness level and/or budget. One porter can be shared between two people and can carry up to 25 kg. Many trekkers hire a porter to have a more comfortable trek.

  • Do I require a porter for carrying water?

    On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.
