Everest Base Camp Trekking is not a luxury trekking; it is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that will leave you with the most unforgettable memories.

Everest Base Camp Trekking is at the top of trekkers’ bucket lists all around the world. It’s because the walk to Everest Base Camp provides a spectacular close-up view of Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, from every direction.

The EBC journey, which centers around the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest (29,029 ft/ 8,848.68m), is one of the best treks in the world. This trek (5,364m/17,598ft) will take us through stunning high-altitude scenery, Buddhist monasteries, traditional Sherpa culture, high-altitude animals, and snow-capped mountains, providing us with a natural excitement.

Most climb Mount Everest to test their mettle in the face of adversity. Some others simply wish to walk around the tallest peaks and take in the breathtaking vistas of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, and Ama Dablam. As a result, this Mt. Everest trekking tour is the perfect option for individuals who do not want to climb the towering Everest but still want to marvel at the vistas of the world’s highest mountain. Deciding to embark on this adventure is a cause for celebration.

The Everest Base Camp Trekking combines the extraordinary splendor of well-organized routes with the raw, rocky aspect of the slope. Trekking to Everest base camp is not difficult, but it is not easy either. It necessitates a great deal of willpower, preparation, and a good deal of luck. Regardless, we have our support and we will assist you in reaching the base camp of mighty Mount Everest.

The Everest Base Camp trekking will take us to roughly 5650 meters, offering us the best vistas of many 8000-meter peaks. We can closely witness the Pumori, Nuptse, Lobuche, and other peaks, as well as the majestic Mt. Everest itself.

All in all, the Everest trek will provide us with a glimpse into the Himalayas’ secret splendor. Our hearts will be flooded with the downpour of heavenly delight when we see the breathtaking sights of the Khumbu glacier. During peak climbing season, we can also see the mountaineers’ colorful tents built up to service the enormous scenery.

Why Trek with us?

Quality

To us, quality entails luxury and a sense of social connection. This link is guaranteed by us. The Everest Base Camp Trek has been devised so that we not only hike the trek but also build memories with ourselves and the people. We’ll meet new people, take pictures, share food, and settle in.

More than the walking we’ll be undertaking on this trek, the stories of Sherpa, the honesty of the monks at the monasteries, and the purity of the kids playing in the cold streets will elevate our spirits.

Giving back to the community: 

Elite Explorer is a product of the Nepalese communities that directly or indirectly contribute to the trekking industry of this country gifted with elite mountains. We are not just travelers or trekkers but explorers who intend to give back something – even if it’s the very least of any form of contributions to the settlements, villages, and trails we walk past on our journey of the Everest Base Camp Trek

We will volunteer or manage a team that can help monks at Namche learn English for this trek. We may even join our team to help us teach. Likewise, we will help clean the nearby places at Namche Bazaar and donate some first aid kits to the medical clinics, stationery items and books to students at schools there, and food items to the locals throughout the trail.

We will also record the unheard tales about Everest and the culture that flows there as we believe that the Everest region shouldn’t just be commercialized through its mountains, but also the locals and their stories that have been staying there for years.

  1. Day 01 Arrival in Kathmandu, transfer to the centrally located hotel

    As we fly into Kathmandu, we’ll be treated to spectacular views of the city, the Himalayas, and the terraced farms below. A representative will greet you after clearing customs and assist you in settling into our hotel by leading you through the cultural shock of Kathmandu’s narrow, twisting streets.

    With a variety of cafes providing both Western and indigenous Nepali food, Thamel, the tourist hub, is a good place to enjoy our first supper in the evening.

  2. Day 02 Kathmandu; Trekking Orientation and guide introduction with a last-minute shopping trekking essentials (trekking poles, trousers, warmers, etc)

    If we like, we will visit several neighboring temples early in the morning, such as Vikramshila Mahavihara Temple and Tridevi Temple, and spend some time there. We’ll return to the hotel and eat breakfast after that. We’ll meet in a hall and go through the details of our expedition, which will begin on another day. Our specialists will assist you in preparing for the journey, and we will hold a storytelling session during which our professionals and previous clients will discuss their Everest View Trek experiences. As soon as we finish them, we’ll go shopping in Thamel and Ason, eat some MoMo or Newar snacks, and return to the hotel.

  3. Day 03 Kathmandu to Lukla by air, 40 mins; Trek to Phakding, 3-4 hours

    Today, we will take an exhilarating flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (2840m). We’ll land on the runway at Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, one of the world’s most dangerous airports, in 40 minutes. From there, we’ll meet up with the rest of our group and begin our journey to Phakding.

    We’ll descend to the Dudh Koshi River and connect with the Namche Bazaar path. After driving across the little Ghat (2550m) area, we’ll soon arrive in Phakding.

  4. Day 04 Trek from Phakding to Namche, 6-7 hours

    We’ll hike to NamcheBazaar, Nepal’s largest Sherpa settlement, today. Our trail takes us across the Dudhkoshi River on a massive suspension bridge, then through a beautiful pine forest to Monjo, some two hours away. We’ll soon arrive at the Sagarmatha National Park entrance for a fast permission check before descending to the Dudh Kosi River and seeing Mani stones along the way to Jorsale. We’ll take an upper route to Namche. The Hillary Suspension Bridge is one of two river bridges that surround us as we walk down the riverbank. It’ll be a long climb up the hill to our resting place, but in Namche Bazaar, we’ll be rewarded with our first glimpse of Everest in all its majesty.

  5. Day 05 Namche Acclimatization

    Today is an acclimatization day with a quick excursion to Syangboche (3-4 hours round trip) (3860m). We’ll begin our journey with a difficult ascent to the National Park headquarters, from which we’ll have a spectacular view of Himalayan peaks such as Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku, Kusum Khangru, Kongde, Phachhermo, Melungtse, Khumbila, and Taboche. We will have ample time to admire the beauty and fauna prevalent in this Himalayan region as we travel along our trail. We’ll return to Namche Bazaar for lunch after touring Syangboche. In the afternoon we can freely walk through Namche Bazaar, visit local bakeries and shops, and do any last-minute buying.

  6. Day 06 Namche- Tengboche (3860m)

    We leave Namche on a trail that leads to Tengboche. The trail from Namche to Tengboche is regarded by trekkers as the most picturesque in the entire Everest Base Camp Trek. At Phungi Thanka, we drop to the Dudh Kosi Valley and slowly make our way uphill to Tengboche. we’ll be standing between the mountains for the first time. Some of the highest mountains that will watch us trek the gorgeous trail include Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Lhotse, Nuptse, and Mt. Everest. We’ll climb past the Imja Khola to Tengboche, the Khumbu Region’s spiritual heart.

    Tengboche Monastery, a well-known Buddhist shrine, is visited. It’s a historic monastery at a high elevation with spectacular views of the Everest region. Make sure to check out the monastery’s magnificent murals and statues. Mt. Ama Dablam may also be seen right above the Monastery. There is no place more gorgeous than this, surrounded by pines and azaleas and backed with Ama Dablam. Tonight, we’ll spend the night in Tengboche at a guest house run by locals.

  7. Day 07 Tengboche- Dingboche (4410m)

    Following breakfast, we will continue our Everest Base Camp Trek with an incredible ascent with breathtaking views of massive mountains and deep valleys. Before we go, forget about the comfort of our bed and head outdoors to witness a once-in-a-lifetime sunrise above Ama Dablam Mountain. It will be a memorable occasion to remember for the rest of our life. Following the daybreak, we descend the Imja River and follow a trail to Dingboche, a high-altitude Sherpa village.

    From the river, we take a lovely journey with mountain vistas and beautiful scenery to Pangboche village. The community is located at an elevation of 3900 meters, in a dramatic setting with beautiful mountain views in the background. We continue going to the hamlets of Dingboche, taking in the vistas of massive mountains such as Everest, Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Lhotse, and others. The trails to Dingboche are guarded by mani walls, prayer flags, prayer wheels, agriculture fields, and yak herder villages.

    Summer Valley is the name given to Dingboche. we’ll observe yaks grazing in the big meadow as we approach it. we may feel the impact of thin air at a high altitude as we approach Dingboche at 4,410 meters. Calm down and drink a lot of water. Maintain a constant level of hydration. Our guide will use an oximeter to assess our oxygen level and determine if we are fit to trek. If that doesn’t work, our guide will offer us some drugs to prevent altitude sickness.

  8. Day 08 Dingboche acclimatization

    Today is an acclimatization day, which allows our bodies to acclimate to a higher altitude. The mountain views from Dingboche, the only spot in the district where barley is produced, are spectacular. Hiking up the Imja Khola to Chhukung, a small summer town with views of Island Peak (6,189 meters), Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and the fluted ice walls bordering the Amphu Lapcha pass, is a popular option for the fit.

  9. Day 09 Dingboche-Lobuche (4900m), 5 hrs

    After breakfast, we will climb to Lobuche, which is located at an elevation of 4910 meters. To arrive at Dughla, we first travel a trail that runs between two large valleys. We arrived in Lobuche after going through some yak fields. The trails are now barren and covered in snow. we’ve made it above the tree line. As a result, we will notice the lack of trees and green slopes. Snow and stark hills are all we can see. Here in Lobuche, there are no permanent Sherpa villages. We will be surrounded by stunning views of towering mountains immediately outside the Tea Houses.

  10. Day 10 Lobuche-Gorakshep (5184m), 3-4 hrs; to Everest Base Camp (5300m), 3-4 hrs

    We leave early in the morning for Gorakshep, which is located at a height of 5181 meters. In addition, the area is sparsely populated, with only a few guest houses open during hiking seasons. When we arrive in Gorakshep, the guide will take us to a guest house where we can store our luggage. We can choose to leave our heavy gear at a guest’s home when we return to Gorak Shep for the night. We then proceed to Everest Base Camp. It’s a proud time for everyone. It’s been a week since we’ve been counting down the days before the big day arrives.

    At 4900 meters, we climb through the Khumbu Glacier, the world’s tallest glacier. The glacier is 12 kilometers long and has a lunar form. We will have the time of our life as we walk among the ice formations and small pools of water. We will soon arrive at Everest Base Camp, the trek’s last objective.

    Mt. Everest is hidden between Mt. Lhotse and Mt. Nuptse, therefore it is not visible from the base camp. We return to Gorak Shep after collecting memories along the expedition trails, the Sagarmatha expedition group’s encampment, and the Khumbu icefall. We will spend a warm and comfortable night’s sleep tonight. Mt. Everest will be visible to the naked eye tomorrow.

  11. Day 11 Gorakshep- Kalapathar Pheriche (4270m), 7 hours

    It’s the second most anticipated day of our EBC adventure. So, get up before the sun and drive to Kalapatthar, which is located at 5545 meters. It’s the pinnacle of our trekking adventure. We’ll soon arrive at the highest vantage point. we will forget about our problems as the sun shines through the highest mountain.

    We capture the golden rays of the sun falling over Mt. Everest’s sparkling snow, as well as other towering peaks in the range, from Kalapatthar. We will find ourselves at the foot of the world’s most gorgeous mountains. We then returned to Gorak Shep on foot. We will begin our descent to Pheriche after breakfast.

  12. Day 12 Pheriche- Trek to Kenjumma (3550m), 5-6 hours

    We will pass through Pangboche village and Tengboche monastery on our way to Kenjuma. The trail is wide, but there are several ups and downs. Kenjuma is a small town in the heart of the thick forest, where we might glimpse wild creatures if we’re lucky. The most spectacular panoramic view of Mount Ama Dablam, Mount Thamserku, Mount Lhotse, and other peaks can be seen from Kenjuma.

  13. Day 13 Kenjumma-Trek to Manjo (2800m), 4-5 hours

    The official entrance into the Sagarmatha National Park will kick off the day. The hike to Namche Bazaar takes about 2 hours and includes a steep uphill ascent of roughly 590 meters.

    For the first time, we will be able to see Everest and Lhotse halfway up the hill. The peaks of Thamserku (6,648m) and Kwangde (6,224m) to the east, and the sacred mountain Khumbila (5,707m) to the west, can be seen as we reach Namche Bazaar. The valley is incredibly rugged yet gorgeous after lunch. Turn off the main trail in the small settlement of Tesho and follow a narrow but steep path to the Monjo lodge.

  14. Day 14 Manjo – Lukla, 5-6 hours

    The trail from Monjo to Lukla is lined with many small monasteries and painted Mani walls. We descend to Chauri Kharka through Phakding, passing through several small Sherpa communities and crossing the Dudh Koshi and Bhotekoshi suspension bridge. The final ascent of the journey, from Chauri Kharka to Lukla, is challenging. When we arrive in Lukla, we can unwind for a little before going on a tour of the village and hearing the stories of the residents.

  15. Day 15 Lukla – Kathmandu, 40 mins

    We’ll board an early morning flight to Kathmandu after breakfast. The 40-minute flight gives us another overhead view of the high mountains and verdant hills before we land in Kathmandu.

    Our team will meet you at the airport in Kathmandu and transport you to our hotel. YOu can rest and refresh in the hotel once you arrive in Kathmandu. We’ll take you on a tour of Thamel’s beautiful streets in the evening before saying your goodbyes over a fantastic lunch.

  16. Day 16 Kathmandu Free Day

    Today you can do anything you had wanted to do in Kathmandu. We will also have some ayurvedic massages ready for you, which you can take at our ease. If you wish to, we can also arrange a day tour around the valley. If you want to learn the skill to cook some Nepalese cuisine, we can arrange that too. Altogether, today is your day and we will try to fulfill the things you wanted to be doing in the beautiful city of Kathmandu.

  17. Day 17 Departure

    We’ll say our goodbyes today. Three hours before our scheduled flight, we will drop you off at the airport. Before that, we’ll give you some of our merchandise and a few symbols of our affection to commemorate the moments we’ve shared from the dawn of time. Nonetheless, we will hope to see each other again in the future.

Tea House
Tea House during trek

How many hours do we trek each day?

We will trek for six hours on average, but depending on the region you trek in, you might go for nine hours straight, including breaks for meals.

What transportation will it be to the trekking starting point?

Depending on the trekking region, either private transportation or air travel will be used.

Can I leave the things behind before heading for trekking?

Yes, we’ll tag your bag and keep it at your accommodation until you get back. Likewise, you should travel as lightly as possible when trekking.

Is it very cold in Kathmandu on my arrival?

There are four seasons and 300 days of sunshine in Nepal. As a result, Kathmandu’s lowest recorded temperature is -3 degrees Celsius, or 26.6 degrees Fahrenheit. However, while trekking, the temperature may drop to -13 degrees Fahrenheit or -25 degrees Celsius. For more details on what to pack and bring please contact your dedicated travel consultant or you can also contact us via E-mail.

Do I need to be extra careful of altitude sickness?

Our itineraries are made to give you plenty of time for acclimatization, reducing the likelihood that you will have altitude sickness. Every evening before or after dinner, our extremely knowledgeable guide will give us a briefing for the following day’s trekking, including instructions to prevent altitude sickness over 3500 meters. You must notify our guide right away if you have shortness of breath, headache, exhaustion, nausea, vomiting, a rapid heartbeat, or insomnia since altitude sickness can be fatal.

How many kg of bag pack am I allowed to carry?

The greatest option is usually to trek light. The best-recommended backpack weight is 10 kg for trekking bags and 5 kg for carry-on luggage because one must also include basics. (It also serves as the flight to Lukla’s weight restriction.)

Will there be a porter to carry my bag pack apart from the guide?

Yes, a porter will assist you in carrying the trekking backpack packs.

Can you tell me about the food in the mountains?

Most of the food is freshly prepared, but meats may have been stored for a while. Freshly prepared Daal and Bhat, a staple of traditional Nepali cuisine, are the finest.

How basic are tea houses, can I shower every day?

A basic bed, private or shared bathrooms, cold water in the absence of electricity or sunlight, charging the wifi battery, and the absence of a room heater. This is how simple tea houses seem. Further, during the cold winter, the water freezes in the pipe leaving no running water.As mentioned earlier, having a hot shower (or bucket full of hot water)  is feasible in most tea houses, however, if unfavorable circumstances like an electricity cut-off occur, you may have to wait to take a hot shower.

Is there wifi or cellular signals in the mountains?

In the tea houses along the trails, there is wifi, however, the signal strength and speed may not be as advertised. On request, Team Elite Explorer will provide you with a local sim card for data subscription.

How about power, will there be charging points?

There will, in fact, be charging ports. Be considerate when charging your electronics as tea houses provide shelter for other hikers as well.

In case of medical issues, how will I get assistance? 

Our guide will evaluate the case according to its seriousness, seek advice from the office as necessary, and then decide on the spot whether to transport the patient to the nearest medical facilities or call for help. When trekking in Nepal, kindly make sure to have comprehensive travel medical insurance.

Can 3 years and 80 plus age trek in the mountains?

Every age group can find the ideal trekking trails in Nepal. So every one of any age can hike in the mountains. When working with infants and the elderly, we take extra precautions both in the planning of the itineraries and on the ground.

Lastly, How fit should I be for trekking?

For the trek, you need to be both physically and mentally prepared. The outcome of your adventure entirely rests on you. We advise selecting the trekking routes based on your degree of fitness. There is little doubt that shorter routes are simpler than longer ones. A higher level of fitness will be needed for the longer treks. So, try to be in top physical shape.
