Many thanks to mosaic adventure, we had a very challenging and adventurous experience hiking through the beautiful mountains. Not sure I would do the tour of Kathmandu next time tho as it took up most of the day, but was very informative.

Base Camp. Two little syllables that conjure up dreams as immense and powerful as the Himalayas themselves. This 15-day trekking trip is your chance to take on the challenge of reaching the mountaineer's base camp and gain an insight into the world-renowned Sherpa culture. You’ll cross glaciers and broad plains, traverse valleys and climb high passes – discovering both the majesty of the mountains and your own potential. Embrace the sense of freedom that comes with leaving cell service behind for card games in basic (but cosy) teahouses. Plus, Intrepid partners with local mountaineering and porter welfare programs, so you can trek easier knowing that while our porters are taking care of you, there’s someone looking out for them. This is a challenging trip and involves difficult trekking at high altitudes, but the whole experience can summed up in two syllables – worth it.

My partner and I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek and I am 100% confident they are the best company available. From start to finish they were there for our every need.
During our time in Kathmandu, the agency representative was always at the hotel in person, greeting us with a warm welcome and a friendly smile. Before our arrival he was always on hand by email and replied almost instantly to every single question or query I sent him, even with the significant time difference between UK and Nepal. I really don't know how he does it.
Our guide during the trek was an absolute pro and was always on hand to answer questions or organize meals, permits or any other need we might have. His knowledge of the Everest region and how to navigate it physically was second to none and it was apparent by the many other guides and porters who stopped to greet him that he is a very experienced and well respected member of the trekking community.
A special thanks to the porters in our team, who powered up the trail every day carrying close to 40kg each. Never complaining and never without a smile or a fist bump. They arranged our meals in the evening and came along on acclimatization days.
Our group of 3 made it to Everest Base Camp. Many did not. I am certain this came down to the expert guidance and support given by the team. Should I ever return to undertake another adventure, it will be with this team.

Our Everest Base Camp trek was truly unforgettable. The entire experience was flawlessly managed—from the initial planning to the final steps back from the mountains. The team’s coordination and communication were excellent, always timely and clear. Our guide, Pralhad, was incredibly caring, attentive, and experienced, and the porters were amazing—reliable, kind, and supportive throughout the trek. Every lodge and restaurant stop was thoughtfully selected, giving us comfort without losing the authenticity of the journey. Raj, the owner, was fantastic—always available, quick to respond, and offered valuable insights at every stage.

Our trip, Everest Region in Comfort, was just fabulous! I cannot recommend it highly enough! Everything seemed to go flawlessly....if that wasn't the case, the staff made sure we didn't know!
The views were worth every single step!

Inside the monastery are incredibly wall hangings, a 20-foot sculpture of Buddha, and the musical instruments and robes of the Lamas. You will be taken to observe a prayer ceremony either in the evening or in the morning depending on how the trekking goes.
For more information on the day-to-day activities, please see the Itinerary tab. This trek is for the trekkers with not much time, but who still want to see the Everest region, and see the Mother of all mountains, Mt. Everest.
We have just returned from a trip to Everest Base Camp (over 55's in comfort - 12 April to 2 May). We loved it! Our group Guide, Tshering, Assistant Guide, Santosh and Sirdar, Rajan together with the "boys" (4 strong boys, cook and assistant cook) were wonderful, they were hard working and reliable. Friendly, helpful, informative, calm and encouraging. We were all over 60! 5 out of 7 got the Khumbu cough! Only one person showed any signs of altitude sickness and the length of the trip certainly helped acclimatise. Tshering made sure we received adequate medical advice and assistant if required. We all made it to EBC and certainly the longer trip, sensible acclimatisation and slow pace helped with this achievement. I'm still feeling proud. Whilst we were probably the most experienced hikers in our group, we had a member who had no trekking experience or etiquette in our group but we worked as a team and walked to the ability of the slowest. How wonderful it was to sit down at the end of each day knowing a drink, food, bed and warm dining room were all there waiting for us. Meals were tasty and enough offered for everyone, Santosh always on hand to offer us seconds. I almost always cleaned my plate! My favourites were the soups, porridge, potatoes, paratha's and chapati's, lentil dhal - always some veggies, all cooked expertly on a gas/kero stove. It was so reassuring to know we could eat and drink without fear of stomach issues which would have made the arduous trek even tougher! Yep, WE itinerary and experience showed and we would not hesitate in booking another trip in Nepal with WE. The contingency plan to get us back to Kathmandu by helicopter in time to catch international flights was well managed and executed. ****** Thanks all round to the team and ground staff in Nepal! P.S. the water bottles with hot water at bedtime to pop inside our sleeping bags - the best idea ever!
