The soaring mountain ranges right in front of you is a reward to your efforts for the trek. The jaw dropping 360 views of the peaks of Everest, Changtse and Nuptse II from the peak of Kala Patthar (5,545m), a black stone ridge, is simply astonishing.

“I trekked Mt. Everest Base Camp last month. And it was the most exciting trek of my life. The white mountain is so massive and so beautiful at the same time. I couldn’t dare to climb it but going to Base Camp was also equal accomplishment. Our guide and porter was very helpful. He help me to carry my luggage. Thanks to Nepal Hiking Team for taking me there.”

“We booked the Everest Base camp trekking with Nepal Hiking. After the completion of this trip, we were really pleased with the organization and facility provided by the team of Nepal Hiking Team. We had a 14 day trip planned with the organization and they did everything possible to make our trip an incredible one with the quality of their services and efficient organization. The transfers, accommodation, guides, sights, food and equipment all finely organized by Mr. Balaram and his team who were easy to travel with and were full of knowledge and laughs. This company did a fantastic job from the first email through until catching our final flight. The guide Rajendra Dhamala was excellent in his service, knowledge of the terrain, and provided encouragement and entertainment throughout our trek. He took good care of us. We are satisfied with their excellent service along with the good for the trip. We will definitely be back to Nepal and will certainly take their services as they made us feel at home. We would also like to recommend this company for everyone who is planning to go to Nepal for trekking.”

Day 2: Fly to Lukla and trek to Phakding (2652m/8699ft)

3 hours Guest house

Day 3: Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3440m/11283ft)

7-8 hours Guest house

We follow the Dudh Koshi, ascending through Himalayan pine and cedar forests, to the celebrated village of Namche Bazaar. The village of Namche is a historic trading post where Nepalese and Tibetan traders exchange salt, dried meat and textiles. Besides being a splendid destination to shop for traditional crafts, Namche remains the central trading post in the Khumbu that attracts Himalayan and lowland merchants. You will spend two days at Namche for acclimatization, visit local markets and spend time with your team. On the hike we capture our first glimpses of Everest and neighboring peaks. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included.

Day 4: Namche Bazar and Everest View Hotel

3-4 hours Guest house

This day is especially sectioned for acclimatization. We will hike to Syangboche Airport (3700m), supposed to be the highest airport in the world, then continue climbing to Everest View Hotel for great panoramic views of the Everest, Lhotse, Amadablam, Tawache etc. On the way back, we visit Sherpa Culture Museum and Everest Photo Gallery. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included.

Day 5: Namche to Tengboche (3860m/12660ft)

5-6 hours Guest house

Descend through a beautiful forest, cross the Imja Khola and trek through the village of Pangboche (3900m); perhaps today is the most interesting trekking because you will not lose altitude like on other days and you will enjoy views of Mt. Amadablam, Mt. Lhotse & other peaks; the route continues through pastures to Dingboche, known as the 'summer valley. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included.

Day 6: Tengbuche to Dingboche (4410m/14464ft)

5-6 hours Guest house

Day 7: Hike to Nagerjun (5100m/16728ft) and return Dingboche

3-4 hours Guest house

This would be your second acclimatization day that requires about 6 hours of trekking to an altitude of 5100m. After breakfast, you ascend Nagerjun (5100m), a hill located on the flanks of the Chhukung valley directly above Dingboche. The main aim is to climb high and sleep low. The foot path becomes steep at times, resulting in a physically strenuous day. Ascending the hill could take up to 5 hours at altitude. From this altitude there are good views of Lobuche East (6119m), Lobuche West (6145m), Taboche Peak (6367m), Thamserku (6608m), Kangtega (6685m) and Ama Dablam (6856m). On a clear day, you could even see Makalu, the world’s fifth highest mountain, including great views of the Pheriche Valley. After a short rest, you start the descent back to Dingboche and the walk at altitude takes about 2 hours. After lunch, take a well-deserved rest, as afternoon temperatures could drop rapidly as the sun sets over the mountain tops. You will also spend a second night in Dingboche. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included.

Day 8: Dingbuche to Lobuche (4910m/16105ft)

5-6 hours Guest house

Trek along a broad valley floor to Dughla, passing the Trekkers Aid Post at Pheriche (4240 m).

We come out of the valley to descend to the yak pastures of Lobuche. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included.

Day 9: Lobuche-EBC (5364m/17594ft) - Gorakshep (5181m/16994ft)

8-9 hours Guest house

After a short climb through meadows, look down at the Khumbu glacier. Straight ahead is Kalapattar - the best vantage point to view the entire south face of Mt. Everest and the surrounding peaks. After a couple of hours we will get to Gorekshep, and continue our journey to the Everest base camp. There is not much elevation gain, but there are a lot of ups and downs and, combined with altitude, this can be an exhausting trek - but the journey is worth it. After approximately 3 hrs of hiking, you will arrive at the base camp and enjoy a magnificent view of the Khumbu glacier and ice-fall, where the Everest expeditions begin. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner included.
