Itinerary

For those with their eyes set on Everest, this 12-day Everest Base Camp trek is the quintessential adventure through the heart of Nepal’s Solukhumbu region. Designed for young adults and seasoned trekkers eager for high-altitude thrills, this trip takes you along the classic route, winding through bustling Himalayan towns, tranquil monasteries, and dramatic alpine landscapes. Experience the exhilaration of standing at 5,643 meters, surrounded by giants like Lhotse, Lobuche, Nuptse, Pumori, and, of course, the majestic Mt. Everest itself.

Starting with a drive from Kathmandu to Ramechhap (or directly to Lukla depending on the season), your journey unfolds through iconic stops: Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Pangboche, Dingboche, Chhukung, and Lobuche, before reaching Gorakshep—the final stepping stone to Everest Base Camp. Along the way, stay in local teahouses and immerse yourself in the rich Sherpa culture, with opportunities to witness vibrant village life and colorful festivals.

The trek’s highlight is a climb to Kala Patthar for panoramic Himalayan vistas—an experience that stands out even among world travelers. While meals are not included (budget $300–$350 per person), this tour package offers expert guidance and seamless logistics, letting you focus on the trek and the awe-inspiring scenery. The USP of this trip is its direct, no-frills approach to reaching Everest Base Camp, perfect for those craving a pure, unforgettable Himalayan adventure.

Spectacular EBC

We had a blast going to EBC base camp last september. Me and friends booked our trip via this local travel specialist and they organized the whole trip so well. Guides and porters we also very cheerful and always smiling. We enjoyed the every moment during our trek. It was also my first experience in the remote Himalayan region and the breathtaking views alone were certainly worth the walk. Thank you Nilam and Devi for your assistance during the trek. I'll feel coming back again someday, this time probably with my family.

Amazing!!!!

The overall experience to EBC was great. Very professional agency and staffs. I'll come next year again for another trek. I haven't decided which one yet but Nepal is surely a very beautiful country with many destinations to offer. You can definitely check out this agency if you're planning to visit Nepal. Thank you

A fantastic trip.

At first i felt this trek was too tough for me to do. It had long been in my bucket list so i somehow managed to collect all my thoughts and booked the trip. They provided us a fun guide and porters who created such a comfortable environment that the trek didn't felt tough at all. Thank you devi and nilam for helping us with everything. Highly recommended to everyone.

It was my first visit to Nepal and i had always wanted to see Mount Everest from nearest point possible. This local tour operator did a fine job planning our trip. Our guide and porters were very professional. The trek to base camp was hectic but i got to mark this one off my bucket list. Thank you for making it possible. Much Love.
