Itinerary

Ready to conquer one of the world’s most iconic trekking routes? The Budget Everest Base Camp Trek immerses young adults and experienced adventurers alike in the heart of Nepal’s Khumbu region. Your trip launches with a thrilling flight over the Himalayas to Lukla, setting the stage for a classic trek through bustling Namche Bazaar—the vibrant gateway to Everest, brimming with cozy lodges, local shops, and cheerful Sherpas.

Follow well-worn trails through lush forests and high mountain villages, passing through the legendary Sagarmatha National Park. Along the way, highlights include a visit to Tengboche, home to the region’s oldest monastery, and the communities of Dingboche and Lobuche. The route culminates at Gorakshep, a starkly beautiful glacial basin near Everest Base Camp itself.

On Day 8, stand at the foot of Everest, then ascend Kala Patthar at dawn for jaw-dropping sunrise views—perfect for that unforgettable Himalayan photo. This trek is as much about the journey as the destination, offering rich encounters with Sherpa culture, stunning landscapes, and the camaraderie that comes from taking on a world-class adventure together.

Crafted for the energetic and the curious, this tour is tailored to those who relish active travel and authentic experiences. Its standout feature is the perfect blend of affordability, expert guidance, and the chance to witness Everest’s grandeur up close.
