HIGHLIGHTS
  • Get close up, panoramic views of the world's highest mountains from Kalapatthar
  • This special itinerary is designed for budget travelers but includes all the best sights
  • Trek in Sagarmatha National Park, listed in UNESCO world heritage sites
  • Explore the oldest and biggest monastery of the Everest region
This 12-day Everest Base Camp Trek is a special itinerary designed for budget travelers seeking to explore the base camp of mighty Everest. This popular trek is filled with breathtaking scenery, traditional Sherpa villages and culture, mountain vistas, and a grand display of magical glaciers and centuries-old monasteries. We will be hiking through magical Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.

The first trip highlight is an adventurous small-plane flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (make sure to sit in the left-side seat to enjoy the first glimpse of the Everest region!). Lukla offers a fresh mountain environment, fascinating green rolling hills, and a distant view of snowy peaks. Other highlights include a hike to Kalapatthar — a vantage point where we can witness Everest from the closest possible distance — and a visit to Tengboche Monastery, a large and sacred monastery in the Khumbu region.

This trek is fully guided by experienced local guides and ensures proper acclimatization before gaining altitude. This is the best way for non-elite trekkers to get close to the highest mountain in the world!

Everything organized on time.
I rented a car with a driver for 3 days. The driver, who was very experienced in the most difficult conditions, was doing great. Everything organized on time. The price for renting is very good.

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.

  • 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.
