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.

Everest Base Camp is one of the most popular adventure treks in the world. The Everest Base Camp Trek offers spectacular views of the highest mountain peak in the world, Mount Everest, and many other snow-capped Himalayan mountains. Mount Everest, with its peerless height of 8848 m, has its own charm which allures trekker to witness its beautiful icy faces, and climbers to scale its glorious height. For this reason, Everest Base Camp has become one of the most popular trekking destinations in the world.

We begin the Everest Base Camp trek with a scenic flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. On reaching Lukla, we follow the trekking trail to the famous Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar and on the Buddhist Monastery of Tyangboche, a place of serenity that also enjoys some splendid views of highest mountains, including Mount Everest (8848 m), Mount Lhotse (8501 m), Mount Cho Oyu (8153 m), Mount Makalu (8463 m) and Mount Ama Dablam (6856 m) among others. During the Everest Base Camp trek, our trail passes through many glaciers, to finally reach the foot of Mount Everest, which will be one of the most memorable experiences of your life.

The Everest Base Camp trek is considered moderately difficult and adventurous. If you are physically fit and have a good sense of adventure, you will definitely enjoy the it.
