Everest Base Camp Trek Overview

The Everest region of Nepal, popularly known as the Khumbu valley is renowned for its popular Everest base camp trek and Mount Everest climbing, which offers a thrilling adventure to trekkers and mountaineers. Hiking to Everest's base camp is the pinnacle of adventure journeys and takes you to the base of the world's highest peak, Mount Everest (8848m). The adventure journey to Everest base camp offers stunning views of neighboring mountain peaks, Khumbu glacier, Icefall, and small glacier lakes.

Our 14-day Everest base camp trek packages will take you through the fearless Sherpa villages across dozens of snow-capped mountains, all blessed by the beauty of Mother Nature. Along the way, you can breathe in the cool, fresh mountain air and immerse yourself in the beauty of the alpine and colorful Rhodondern forest in the high-altitude barren landscape.

Trekking to Everest base camp is a challenging journey that demands a good level of fitness and acclimatization. During the trip to Everest base camp, you will be hiking over 5,000 meters in height for some days, and the weather can be unpredictable, so it's important to be well-prepared with the right gear and equipment.

The best time to trek to Everest Base Camp is from March to May and from September to November, when the weather normally gets clear and the skies are blue. During these months, the temperatures are moderate, but the trails are more crowded.

What is it Like to Go on the Everest Base Camp Trek?

The Mount Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary starts with the scenic flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. The thrill begins to take over your soul immediately after landing at the world’s most extreme airport, the Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla. This trek to EBC covers a total distance of 130 kilometers. The Khumbu region of Nepal, where Mt. Everest is situated, is much more diversified in terms of nature and culture. 

After a night of rest in Phakding, the trek to Ebc continues towards Namche Bazaar. Along the way, trekkers will encounter the thrilling Larpchen Bridge, a highlight that never fails to captivate. Before reaching Namche, you'll be greeted with the first sight of the glorious Mt. Everest. The following day in Namche is dedicated to acclimatization, allowing us to adjust to the high altitude. On this day, we will hike to the Everest View Hotel, proudly holding the title of the world's highest-located organized hotel.

If weather conditions are favorable, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the breathtaking mountain scenery up close. From the hotel's terrace restaurant, savor a cup of coffee while relishing the panoramic views of Mt. Thamserku, Amadablam, Tabuchi, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Everest.

How to Prepare Yourself for the Everest Base Camp Trek

To make your EBC hike a more enjoyable experience, it is important to prepare yourself physically and mentally. The Mount Everest base camp trek is a challenging one, and you will be hiking for up to 12 days up and downhill on an uneven trail with a 5-6 kilo daypack.

The EBC trek can be physically and emotionally challenging, so it is important to be mentally strong and determined.

    Breathtaking Everest Base Camp

    Prakash of Green Society Adventure was absolutely brilliant during our 12-day trek of Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar. He was available to assist at all times prior to departure from Australia all the way through our departure from Kathmandu. He was so professional in his work on the hike and had the answer to every question! The trip was amazing itself, but Prakash’s assistance made it so smooth and hassle-free, and we were so lucky to have him accompany us!

    Absolutely Incredible Experience

    This trek was absolutely incredible and I highly recommend it! Raj is an incredible guide and human in general, and it was a pleasure to work with him. He is very knowledgeable about the names of mountains, history of them, and plants and wildlife, so learning along the way was a bonus. If you’re thinking about doing this trek just do it, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend booking directly with a Nepalese company (preferably with Raj and Green Society Adventures!)

Checklist: What Should You Pack for the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Preparation is essential when you book the 14-day trek to Everest base camp. For easy and comfortable travel, do get prepared as early as you can. Some of the equipment can hire when you arrive here in Nepal. So, keep in mind that you don’t have to buy all the equipment, which is very expensive and not usable after the Everest base camp trek.

Basically, you need a comfortably fitted day backpack since you are carrying it every day for 5 to 6 hours. Make sure your backpack is waterproof, or it has a special cover. Check the link for the trekking equipment list and pick up all the essential needs for yourself. And if you need to discuss more the equipment, please feel free to ask us.

Best Time for Everest Base Camp Trek

Basically, there are two best seasons for the Everest base camp trek. One is from March to May. At this time weather normally get clear and the view of the Mountains is breathtaking. This is the blooming time of Rhododendron, if you love flowers then the mesmerizing colorful forest steals your heart. Temperature is expected to be 25°C to -5°Cduring this season pretty much warm.

September to November is another best time for the EBC trek. During this time, we can expect some rain and snow, but the weather normally gets clear & cooler. Temperature is expected to be 20°C to -15 during this season and the view of the mountains is amazing.

Everest Trek - Flight to Lukla

An exciting flight to Lukla is the least demanding way to reach and bring your Everest base camp trek. The Tenzing-Hillary airport in Lukla is one of the highest and most extraordinary in the world and it has its claim challenges. The Topmost among them is the weather. Surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the world, the weather in Lukla is unpredictable and changes often. It would be clear and sunny one minute, and soon after could be cloudy, and everything would turn hazy. Flights work as they were when the climate is steady and permeability clear.

The chances of getting canceled the Lukla flight is dependent on weather condition. Which happens frequently. If so, your EBC Trekking may get extended by a day or two. So please be prepared and keep barrier days so that you may not miss your international flight.

If there is a long delay due to bad weather, we will secure a space for you on a helicopter flight. The cost for the Heli flight is not included in the trip price and should be taken by you.

Due to overcrowding at the Kathmandu airport during the high season (Spring- March, April, Autumn - October, November), flights to and from Lukla operate from Manthali Airport in Ramechhap. The airport lies 132km (4hrs drive) from Kathmandu. If you book your trip early, we can try to secure a place for you on the direct flight to or from Lukla. It will be easier and more comfortable

Altitude Sickness & Acclimatization

Keep in mind, that will be trekking to the world’s prominence Mount Everest base camp, the height level is over 5000 meters. At each height, you pick up the oxygen level is gotten low. Less oxygen within the climate may make trouble a bit for breathing. Quick walking without appropriate rest and acclimatization increases the chances of AMS or elevation affliction. To acclimatize your body to thin air, you wish to walk gradually and relentlessly with a bounty of rest and keep your body hydrated to avoid altitude sickness.

Drinking Water

Drinking enough purified water and keeping your body dihydride is very important while you are on the trip to Everest base camp. During the trek, one should drink 3-4 liters of water every day.

On this trek buying bottled water is expensive ($1 to $5) and water bottles add up to the thrashing problem in the mountains, so we highly recommend carrying a reusable water bottle with you. You can fill the water bottle in lodges and can use an inbuilt filtration system like Life Straw or Steripen. You can also use water purification tablets to treat the water.
