Itinerary

Everest Base Camp stands as the holy grail for trekkers worldwide—a challenging trail that promises both thrill and awe in equal measure. This 12-day Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal leads you into the heart of the Himalayas, where every bend reveals snow-draped peaks against vibrant blue skies, and each village offers a glimpse into Sherpa culture. Tailored for adventurous young adults and seasoned travelers, this tour strikes the perfect balance between exhilaration and expert support, ensuring your journey is both rewarding and safe.

Your expedition begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to the legendary Lukla airstrip, the gateway to the Everest region.

Along the way, you'll encounter Buddhist monasteries, fluttering prayer flags, and yak caravans—each step immersing you deeper into the mountain way of life.

Climbing to a peak altitude of 5,545 meters at Kala Patthar, you’ll be rewarded with jaw-dropping vistas of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Makalu—four of the world’s six highest peaks. The ascent to Kala Patthar is a highlight, offering unparalleled sunrise or sunset panoramas that are a photographer’s dream. The route also weaves past hidden Sherpa villages, offering a chance to interact with locals and absorb the region’s spiritual energy.

day 3 - Acclimatization day

We rest this day at Namche Bazaar to acclimatize to the new altitude, which is an ideal place to spend a rest day before heading off towards higher elevation. Instead of resting in your lodge, it is recommended that you stay active and mobile during the acclimatization day. A few hundred feet vertical treks during the day will help you properly acclimatize. Or rather you can spend the day exploring Namche Bazaar. The place is center of the Everest region and has plenty of lodges, tea shops, souvenir shops, ATMs, money exchangers, Internet cafes, government offices, restaurants, bakeries, etc. You can visit Visitor Center near the headquarter of the Sagarmatha National Park where you can observe an assortment of things allied to the first Everest ascenders, Sherpa culture and learn about the various flora and fauna of the Sagarmatha National Park. Surrounded by the snowy peaks of Kongde and Thamserku and the sacred peak Khumbila, Khumjung hosts a well-known monastery that houses a yeti scalp. You can also visit Hillary School at Khumjung.

The trekking today is moderate and not difficult. The views just will keep getting better as we move ahead. You can get to encounter animals, visit some monasteries and go through some beautiful village on the way to Tengboche.

We will initially pass through the villages of Somare (4010m) and Orsho.
