The Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek is one of the world’s most iconic and breathtaking trekking adventures, leading trekkers to the foot of Mount Everest (8,848m)—the highest peak on Earth. Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, this journey offers an extraordinary blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and personal challenge. Trekkers traverse through deep valleys, dense forests, high-altitude passes, and ancient Sherpa villages, following the footsteps of legendary climbers like Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa.
Starting with an adrenaline-fueled flight to Lukla, the trek winds through the vibrant town of Namche Bazaar, the spiritual monastery of Tengboche, and the remote high-altitude settlements of Pangboche, Dingboche and Lobuche, before culminating at Everest Base Camp (5,364m). Along the way, trekkers experience breathtaking views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam, standing among the giants of the Himalayas.
This trek is not just about reaching a destination, but about embracing the journey. It is a test of endurance, determination, and altitude adaptation, yet the rewards are unparalleled. With every step, trekkers experience the majesty of the Himalayas, the warmth of Sherpa hospitality, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with standing in the shadow of the world’s highest mountain.

The trek features a mix of terrain, including forested paths, rocky trails, scree slopes, exposed ridgelines, and glaciated sections towards the last village and till the Everest Base Camp. The highest point typically reached on this itinerary is Kalapathar 5600 meters, which requires a steady ascent with scarmbling on the last section. While no technical climbing is involved, basic scrambling skills and a reasonable level of agility are beneficial. If you are moderately fit and well-prepared, you'll likely do just fine with proper acclimatization. Nevertheless the altitude is never to be taken lightly and its important to follow your guides expertise and guidance.
If you experience discomfort—whether due to altitude, fatigue, or illness—our guide team is trained to assess and respond promptly. Depending on the severity, options may include rest, descending to a lower altitude, or even arranging emergency evacuation if necessary. Your safety is always our top priority. Based on the situation we can provide you optional side trip to a safer ground.
On average, you can expect to trek between 5 to 8 hours per day. This may vary based on the itinerary, terrain, and your pace. The trek is designed with acclimatization in mind, allowing for gradual altitude gain and rest days when needed. However some days especially descending down are long and sometimes can take up 10-11 hrs.
While this trek is suitable for most healthy individuals with moderate fitness, some prior experience with hiking or cardiovascular endurance is highly recommended. Daily walking over varying terrain requires stamina, leg strength, and mental preparedness. Consistent pre-trek training—walking, jogging, or stair climbing—will significantly enhance your experience.
It’s advisable to consult your doctor regarding preventive medication such as Diamox (Acetazolamide). While not mandatory, it can aid acclimatization for some individuals.
Diamox (acetazolamide) is widely used to help prevent symptoms of altitude sickness during high-altitude trekking. It works by speeding up the body's natural acclimatization process. Health experts, including those in wilderness and mountaineering medicine, recommend its use in certain cases.
When should I consider taking Diamox?
For treatment of mild symptoms: 250 mg twice a day can be used, but rest or descent is still the primary solution.
Are there side effects?
Some people may experience:
These side effects are usually harmless and go away on their own.
Nevertheless we prioritize natural acclimatization and build rest days into the itinerary accordingly.
A personal medical kit is essential. We recommend including:
Any personal prescription medication
Your guide will carry a group first-aid kit for emergencies including emergency oxy cans.
You’ll carry a small daypack (20–30L) with essentials like water, snacks, a jacket, and camera. Your main gear will go into a duffel bag or large backpack (60–80L), carried by our porters. Please limit the porter load to a maximum of 10-12 kg per person.
First we truly believe with our proper guidance you will be able to complete the trip and thats what we call our success. If you choose to end your trek early due to your own personel reason or laziness, on your request our team will arrange your safe return to a lower altitude or back to Kathmandu, depending on your preference and condition. however in this case you will not be eligible for refund or any optional side trip. Any changes in logistics will be managed with your comfort and safety in mind, though additional costs may apply.
You’ll stay in locally operated teahouses, all most all of them have a great views offering twin-shared rooms with basic bedding i.e. mattress, pillow and blanket. Most of the tea houses are wooden structures, some are concrete and some are prefab. Bathroom and toilets are seperate and doesnt comes with amenities at all. There can be option for room with attached toilet/bathroom but note, especially in winter the plumbing system might gets freezed and can get smelly.
Meals typically include Nepali staples such as dal bhat, pasta, noodles, soups, eggs and other items, all served warm and fresh. Boiled drinking water, boiled water is usually available at an extra cost at teahouses, and we recommend using purification tablets or filters. Dinnings have a chimney heating system, which mostly gets on during the evening time.
Hot showers (gas/solar) are available at teahouses for an additional fee, the price ranges from 200 - 700 rs based on the elevation and remoteness. However, due to high altitude and limited facilities, we suggest limiting showers. Laundry services are rare on the trail, so plan to bring enough clothing or quick-dry items for the duration of the trek. You can do self laundry, but please calculate the time required for drying.
Basic electricity (solar or generator) is available in most teahouses for charging devices, often at an extra cost. Wi-Fi is sporadic and unreliable, especially at higher altitudes. Mobile network coverage exists in lower sections of the trek, but it becomes limited as you gain elevation. In general Nepal has 2 major telecom companies that provide the network services, which are known as “Namaste” or Nepal telecom a govt company and “Ncell” which is a private company. Nepal telecom generals have broader network coverage especially in the rural area.
Tipping is customary in Nepal and greatly appreciated. While it’s discretionary, a general minimum guideline is:
Tips are typically given at the end of the trek in a group ceremony as a gesture of gratitude.
