Embark on a 16-day trekking adventure, a true pilgrimage for passionate trekkers and mountain enthusiasts. This guided expedition begins with an enlightening sightseeing tour of Kathmandu, offering a glimpse into the cultural richness of Nepal's capital. However, the true essence of this journey goes beyond the city limits, leading you to the renowned and awe-inspiring trekking destination: Everest Base Camp.

Hailed as one of the world's premier trekking routes by National Geographic and Lonely Planet, this legendary trail starts in Lukla. From there, you'll navigate through a breathtaking landscape, passing through Namche Bazaar, the vibrant heart of the Sherpa people, and continue to the serene enclaves of Tengboche, Pangboche, and Dingboche. Your ultimate goal: reaching the base camp of the majestic Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth.

Throughout this incredible journey, you'll immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Sherpa culture, savor the flavors of Himalayan cuisine, and revel in the awe-inspiring vistas of the Himalayan range. The initial leg of your adventure follows the winding course of the Dudh Kosi River, traversing dense forests where pine and juniper trees stand tall. When you arrive at Tengboche Monastery, a spiritual cornerstone in the Everest region, you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the iconic Mount Ama Dablam.

As you approach the climax of your expedition, the terrain transforms into a maze of rugged trails, flanked by rocky outcrops and vast glaciers. The monumental moment of reaching Everest Base Camp itself is an achievement that few can claim. Yet, the pinnacle of your adventure awaits at Kala Patthar, one of the world's renowned vantage points, where you'll witness the Himalayan giants, including the majestic Mount Everest, in all their glory. With this extraordinary experience etched in your memory, you'll descend from the heights and continue your journey, forever changed by the majesty 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.

  • 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.
