It is a 14 days trip. You will hike for 11 days and spend the remaining day traveling to/from Lukla and arriving/departing from Kathmandu.
Kathmandu is situated at 1,400 meters (4,593 ft). You will start hiking from Lukla at 2,846 meters (9,337 ft). Your first night will be in Phakding village (2,610 m/8,563 ft).
Our Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary has Two Acclimatization Days. One is in Namche Bazaar, and another is in Dingboche village. You will hike in the morning and spend the remaining day resting.
Everest Base Camp (5,364 m/17,598 ft) and Kala Patthar (5,545 m/18,129 ft) are the highest point on this trek.
We cannot even count the number of mountains you will see during Everest Base Camp hiking. As the journey unfolds, the mountains will uncover their grand views and bless you with a powerful energy.
Some of the most stunning mountains you will see are Everest, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Taboche, Pumori, Island Peak, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Cholatse, etc.
Likewise, you will also relish changing landscapes with the change in altitude and catch many gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. If the sky is clear, you will enjoy many starry nights.
Sherpas are the hallmark of the Everest region, and trekking to Everest Base Camp provides a huge opportunity to get to know them closely. You will see their lifestyle and have many interactions with them.
Likewise, Tengboche Monastery and Pangboche Monastery are the two main monasteries on the Everest Base Camp route. You will visit both of them. It will show you the rich cultural heritage of the locals.
Similarly, you will see many prayer wheels and prayer flags all over the trail. They mean to send good luck to the trekkers and the locals and protect them.
The Everest Base Camp route is inside the Sagarmatha National Park. You will officially enter the park from Monjo village onwards. The national park has multiple ecosystems.
In the first few days of the trek, you will walk through lush rhododendron and magnolia forests that gradually change to pine forests and bushes. Then, you will enter the alpine zone, where you will see glaciers, moraines, and mountains.
We cannot overlook the thrill of the Lukla flight. Flying in a tiny propeller plane in one of the highest and smallest airports in the world is definitely worth the hype.
The Everest Base Camp trek is far more than just an adventurous trip. If we talk at a deeper level, this voyage will push you to get out of your comfort zone.
Unless our bodies give up, we do not back up on the mountain. We stay strong and keep moving ahead. And the entire community will cheer for you and wish you good luck.
Daily 6 hours of hiking, high altitude, rugged terrain, and limited services will break you. But at the same time, nature, tranquility, fresh air, and endurance will shape the new you.
Reaching Everest Base Camp is not the only achievement you will get on this trek. You will also conquer your limits!
We do not see many people talking about the health benefits that the Everest Base Camp trek has. For starters, it is a great digital detox. The network is not good at high altitudes, so you are forced to get off your phone and live in the moment.
Apart from Lukla, Phading, and Namche Bazaar, you will not have access to junk food. Even if you get a few options in some villages, the price will be absurd. So, you will mostly eat fresh and nutritious food that will heal your body.
Finally, you will feel great in your body. Long walking for a straight nine days will make you feel lighter and more confident.
The very first thing anyone should consider for the EBC trek is their fitness. If you believe you are physically fit for the Everest Base Camp trek, you are most welcome to join us on this lifetime trip.
Please note that it is a multi-day trek through rugged terrain and high altitude. The trail is not flat and involves frequent ascents and descents. Therefore, trekkers have to be in good shape to not just complete the trek but also enjoy the journey.
You have to be okay with sleeping at basic lodges along the way and having simple mountain food. For most of the trek, you will not be connected to the rest of the world. Most importantly, you will walk for 6 hours a day on average.
If you think you can take on these challenges, Everest Base Camp trekking is suitable for you. However, if you are not physically and mentally ready, book the trek early and start preparing.
Strength and stamina: Weight training will make your core and leg muscles strong. Likewise, cardio exercises such as running, jogging, swimming, and cycling will improve your stamina and endurance.
Walking: You have to walk a lot during the Everest Base Camp trek. So, it is better you get used to it before the trek starts. Go on regular long walks with a backpack weighing 5 kg.
High altitude: The only way to prepare for high altitude is by experiencing it. If there are hiking trails around your home, consider doing a few hikes before the trek. Likewise, you can also go on short 2-3 days treks near you.
Mental preparation: The more you learn about the Everest Base Camp route, the more you will be mentally prepared. Your understanding of the trek is very important. Read blogs and see videos of trekkers who have already done the EBC trek. It will help you a lot.
Hot showers are available, but you have to pay extra for the service. Why? Because of expensive gas and wood. You may have to pay USD 3 to USD 5 per shower.
Most lodges and tea houses depend on solar power, which they have installed at a high cost. So, charging your equipment costs around USD 2 to USD 3 or a bit more per device.
To fly to Lukla, the weather has to be ideal. A slight disruption in weather can delay or cancel the flight. So, we highly recommend that trekkers budget for 2-3 days' expenses and a helicopter flight expense just to be on the safe side.
Shared helicopter flights are not that expensive, so keep it an option.
A single room costs extra money, so if you are traveling alone, please click on the single supplement during checkout or contact us.
Please read about all the seasons and pick the one that best suits your preferences. We organized the Everest Base Camp trek throughout the year.
Your duffel bag weight limit is 9 kg per person, and your day pack weight limit is 5 kg per person.
Kindly pack extra pairs of pants, t-shirts, socks, and undies. Trust us, you will need it. You cannot do the EBC trek in 1-2 pairs of t-shirts and pants. It's gross.
Budget 20% of the package cost or USD 100 to USD 120 to tip guide and porter.
Do not drink alcohol or smoke during trekking. It will dehydrate your body and increase the risk of altitude sickness.
You will share the trail with donkeys and yaks. Always wait and let them pass first. Stand on the cliff side and let them walk on the edge side.
Snacks and bars cost very high along the EBC trail, so buy them in Kathmandu.
Water bladder and electrolytes are highly recommended.
Download music, podcasts, movies, etc, for the journey.
It is best to stick with vegetarian food during the trek, especially when you go above Tengboche village. If you want to eat non veg, make sure to inquire about the freshness of the meat.
The network is not good in the Everest region. So, do not fixate on sharing the journey right away. Enjoy your time in the mountains, and share your trip after returning to Kathmandu.

Take tips as a way to show your gratitude. There is no fixed amount. You can tip whatever amount you think is okay. For general guidance, if you are trekking in a group, every member can contribute USD 100 and tip collectively to the guide and porter.

Upon arrival in Kathmandu, passengers will be transferred to their hotels via comfortable vehicle, ensuring a smooth transition from air to land travel.
But the peak seasons like spring and autumn experiences high air traffic. In these cases, flights may be routed from Ramechhap/Manthali. The flight from Lukla to Manthali is a 20-minute flight.

You will need different types of clothes and gear and many small essentials for the Everest Base Camp trek. We have made a comprehensive list below:
If you are planning the Everest Base Camp trek, you might have heard about the term altitude sickness. It happens when you gain a high altitude out of nowhere and do not acclimate.
On the EBC trek, you will gain a high altitude, but our itinerary is strategically planned, including two acclimatization days that drastically decrease the risk of altitude sickness.
Does this mean you will not suffer from altitude sickness? It is not guaranteed because everybody reacts differently to high-altitude environments.
What you can do is follow the preventive measures, and if you still suffer from altitude sickness, our guide will provide you with first aid. If you have previous trek or high altitude experience, you are less likely to get altitude sickness during the Everest Base Camp trek.
Things to note about altitude sickness:
In Kathmandu, we provide a three-star hotel or a tourist standard hotel. The room will be booked on a twin-sharing basis, but you can switch to a single room. The hotel will be nice and in the main tourist area in the city.
You will have access to all modern amenities such as WiFi, TV, AC, etc. Likewise, rooms will have private washrooms and 24/7 hot and cold running water. Breakfast will be included in the room, so you can enjoy it in the hotel.
This package does not include lunch and dinner in Kathmandu. There are many affordable fine dining options in Kathmandu, where you can enjoy food from all over the world.
During the Everest Base Camp trekking, you will stay overnight in basic lodges. It is a common accommodation along the EBC route, where more than 90% of the trekkers spend the night. Basic lodges have twin-shared rooms, and a single room costs extra money.
In Lobuche village and Gorak Shep, single rooms may not be available during the peak trekking seasons. You may get private washrooms in villages at lower elevations, but in most lodges, washrooms are shared between the trekkers.
Rooms are small but clean. A sleeping bag is highly recommended. Likewise, services such as WiFi, charging, and hot showers are available in many lodges at an additional charge. Depending on the service and the altitude, you may have to pay USD 2 to USD 7.
We provide three meals a day during trekking, so you will get breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Lodges not only offer accommodation but also food and drinks to the trekkers. The food option on the EBC route is incredible.
You will have plenty of veg and nonveg options to choose from. Trekkers who have any food allergies are requested to inform us beforehand. Also, be mindful of what you are eating during your trip.
Some common foods you will have during the trek are thukpa, dal bhat, fried rice, porridge, Tibetan bread, soups, stew, curry, chapati, toast, eggs, pancakes, pasta, chowmein, and momo.
Clean drinking water is available throughout the Everest Base Camp trail. Lodge sells boiled water for drinking at a very minimal cost. Every trekker drinks it.
If you are skeptical about it, use a water purification tablet to double-purify the water. Plastic water bottles are also available along the trail. But it is not a good option both environment and cost-wise.
Before planning your Everest Base Camp trek, consider the four seasons that highly impact the journey. They are winter (December to February), spring (March to May), summer/monsoon (June to August), and autumn (September to November).
For starters, the Everest Base Camp trek is possible in all seasons. It is just that some seasons have better weather and climate conditions. We have talked about all the seasons below. We hope it will help you pick the most suitable time for your trek.
If you wear suitable clothes, Everest Base Camp trekking in winter is very fun, adventurous, and satisfying.
Travel insurance is a must for Everest Base Camp trek. It is a remote area with risks of altitude sickness and other unseen events. Air evacuation is the only way we can provide you with quick medical assistance or bring you back to Kathmandu in case something happens.
And for that, travel insurance covering helicopter evacuation and medical bills is required. Travel insurance is needed if you want to trek with us or any Nepali trekking company. Consider travel insurance as your safety net that will protect you during emergencies and also save you lots of money.

*Note: If you are a solo trekker and trekking on your own, get a permit from the Nepal Tourism Board in Kathmandu. The permits are also available at Monjo. Trekking with a permit is illegal, and you may get fined or even banned.

The government of Nepal has imposed two kinds of permits for you to enter into the EBC. It is for the sole purpose to fund for the preservation of the beauty that surrounds Everest and other mountain peaks. As you need to enter Sagarmatha National Park to carry on the EBC journey, you must pay a certain sum of the National Park Entry Fee, just like the others.
Khumbu Region has been made popular on the map by some of the great mountaineers before, like Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary. The municipality charges a small sum of money, the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit costing around NRs.3000 per person, to maintain the beauty and authenticity of the region.
The two Everest Base Camp Trek Entry Permits you must have are Sagarmatha National Park Entrance Permit (NRs. 3000 per person) Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit (NRs. 2000 per person).
You have to make a 20% advance booking payment to confirm your Everest Base Camp trek. If you happen to cancel the trip, we will deduct the cancellation fee from the advance payment and refund the remaining amount.

Depending on the itinerary, you have to walk around 5-9 km each day. The entire trek around Everest is around 130 kilometers (80 miles). Walking distance is not the major thing to worry about. The gain in elevation each day is the bigger issue here. You should be prepared and ready to adapt to it.
There are no restrictions on taking kids to the EBC Trek. You can take your children on the Everest Trek. You must make sure that they are prepared for the strenuous trek journey. The climate and trekking trails become way too extreme for kids.
Having travel insurance for the EBC Trek is your choice.

It is advised to get travel insurance before going on the trek so that you can trek in peace and enjoy the trip to a whole new level.
You don't need to learn the Nepalese language to complete the trek around Everest. You have a guide who will be the mediator of the conversation. But, you can learn the Nepali language too and talk to the locals in the same language. It is a different experience.
Kilimanjaro is a mountain located in Tanzania, Africa and Everest; as all of you know, it is the highest peak in the world. The mountains are two of the most popular and highly challenging treks present. Various travelers put one trek in the harder group than the other. Kilimanjaro can be harder for some trekkers, whereas EBC is a tougher route for some.
According to reports, the average success rate in Kilimanjaro is only around 45%. Meanwhile, the average success rate of Everest Trekking is around 95% which is more than double what is in Kilimanjaro. Not only this, you have to do a night hike in Kilimanjaro with the temperature extremely low. There is a compulsion sometimes to climb high altitudes faster in Kilimanjaro. You get fewer or even no days for acclimatization as compared to EBC.
Talking about the Everest Trek, you need to walk for a longer duration, and the trek lasts for more than two weeks. Some travelers find it extremely tiring and difficult. So, no anyone trek is harder than the other. It depends on the experience of the travelers who have gone there and have felt the ultimate joy of trekking in both of the glorious mountains.

Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp are base camps of two different mountains located in two different parts of the Himalayas in Nepal. Both follow different trek routes and take you to varying trekking regions.
The Everest Base Camp helicopter tour is a short trip in the Everest region that allows travelers to reach EBC and Kala Patthar without trekking and in under one and a half hours.
It is a helicopter tour, so you will not land at either of these two destinations. However, our EBC helicopter tour package includes landing at Lukla to refuel and breakfast at the Hotel Everest View
Yes, we have many Everest Base Camp trek packages that range from 5 days to 20 days. Please check our Everest trek packages on this page for more options.
We, Welcome Nepal Treks, are one of the best Everest Base Camp trek companies in Nepal. We are a local authorized trekking company with several years of expertise and a reliable team
It depends on your budget and what kind of accommodation you would like during the trip. Standard EBC trek includes a three-star hotel in Kathmandu and a basic lodge during the trek. It is an inexpensive option.
The Luxury Everest Base Camp trek includes a five-star hotel in Kathmandu and luxury lodges during the trek. It may also include a helicopter return from Gorak Shep. Luxury EBC trek is expensive
After completing the Everest Base Camp trek, you will have a free evening in Kathmandu before you fly back to your home. You can go shopping, enjoy spa and body massage, and explore local markets.
Although the Everest base camp trek is available anytime but it is better to do in the spring (April-May) and the autumn (September-November) as the weather is not so cold. The days in spring are warm and clear. The weather is generally bright with clear skies and few clouds and temperatures are comfortable in autumn. The winter and monsoon season are not pretty good time for EBC trek as the winter season is the coldest time and monsoon season can get heavy rainfalls which may make trekking difficult.
No, Mt. Everest is not visible from the Everest Base Camp because other mountains block the view. So, we hike to Kala Patthar as our last major ascent and witness a breathtaking Everest panorama before returning to Lukla
