Everest Trek Overview

The Everest Trek in Nepal is a legendary hiking route that takes us to the foot of the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest (8,848.86 meters / 29,031.7 feet). Situated in the Khumbu region of Nepal, the Everest Base Camp 14 Days trek is not just a journey through dramatic landscapes but a spiritual and cultural immersion into the life of the Sherpa people in Nepal. Book your Everest trek to experience the thrill of being at the top of the world, visit vibrant Sherpa towns like Namche Bazaar, discover the serene Tengboche Monastery, and witness Everest’s best sunrise views from Kala Patthar.

The trail of the Everest Base Camp Trek is well-established and supported by a network of tea houses. It makes Everest a suitable trek destination for even beginner trekkers in good physical condition with proper acclimatization. More than just a hike, the Everest trek is a rite of passage for many mountain lovers. It provides a rare opportunity to witness the raw power and beauty of nature, the cultural richness of Himalayan life, and the legacy of mountaineering legends. We will encounter 3 of the 6 highest peaks in the world. They are Mt. Makalu (8,481 meters), Mt. Lhotse (8,516 meters), and Mt. Cho Oyu (8,188 meters). Besides these, you will see a magnificent view of other peaks like Ama Dablam (6,812 meters), Nuptse(7,861 meters), Pumori (7,161 meters), Thamserku (6,608 meters), and many more.

How Do You Get to Everest Base Camp?

The classic route of the Everest Base Camp trek begins at Lukla (2,860m) and ends at EBC (5,364m) and Kala Patthar (5,545m). The path will take us through a variety of landscapes, from lush green forests and alpine meadows to barren moraines and glaciers. After landing at Lukla, we will walk to Phakding on the first day, then ascend to the Sherpa hub of Namche Bazaar. This bustling mountain town, situated at 3,440 meters, offers a range of amenities, including gear shops, bakeries, and panoramic viewpoints. After one acclimatization day, the trail continues to Tengboche, where we explore a famous monastery that sits against the backdrop of Ama Dablam.

From Tengboche, the route leads through Pangboche and Dingboche, important acclimatization stops. Beyond this, the trail climbs through Lobuche and on to Gorak Shep, the final settlement before reaching Everest Base Camp. We can climb Kala Patthar early in the morning for the most iconic sunrise view of Mount Everest.  This route is a teahouse trek, meaning accommodation and meals are available in local lodges, making the journey logistically accessible and culturally immersive.

Everest Base Camp Trek Cost 

The Everest Base Camp Trek Cost largely depends on your trekking style, whether you go independently, join a guided group, or opt for a luxury package. On average, an independent trek can cost around $1,000, a standard guided group trek with guides and porters ranges from $1,200 to $1,800, while luxury treks with upgraded accommodation and services can cost $2,000 to $4,000 or more.

Additional costs include travel insurance with high-altitude coverage, general gear rental or purchase in Nepal, and small charges for Wi-Fi, battery charging, and hot showers in tea houses. While it’s possible to trek on a tight budget, having a guide adds safety and meaningful insight, especially for first-time visitors.

Overall, the trek is a flexible adventure that suits a wide range of budgets while offering one of the most iconic trekking experiences on Earth.

When Should You Plan Your Everest Base Camp Trek?

Planning your trek at the right time is crucial for safety, enjoyment, and taking in the stunning views. The best time for Everest Base Camp Trek falls into two main trekking seasons: Spring (March to May) and Autumn (late September to November).

During Spring, the weather is relatively warm, and the skies are usually clear. One of the highlights of trekking in spring is the blooming of rhododendrons, Nepal’s national flower, which fills the forests with vibrant reds and pinks. This season is also ideal for photographers due to crystal-clear mountain views and longer daylight hours.

The Autumn season is the most popular time for this trek. The monsoon rains clear out the dust and pollution, offering trekkers crisp skies and unbeatable visibility. The temperature is cool but not freezing, and the trails are dry and safe. The Mani Rimdu Festival, a major Sherpa Buddhist celebration, also takes place around October–November at Tengboche Monastery, providing a unique cultural experience.

What are the permits required for the EBC Trek?

To legally accomplish this trek to Everest Base Camp, you need two main permits:

  1. Sagarmatha National Park Permit: NPR 3,000 (approx. USD 25) for foreigners. This allows access to the national park that includes Mount Everest.

  2. Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit: NPR 2,000 (approx. USD 15) per person, obtainable in Lukla.

Note: The TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) card is no longer required for EBC as of the latest updates.

Permits can be acquired in Kathmandu, Nepal, or at the entry points. It's essential to carry copies of your passport and passport-sized photos during the process.

How Does Acclimatization Help You Avoid Altitude Sickness?

As the altitude increases, the oxygen level in the air decreases significantly. At Everest, there is approximately 50% less oxygen compared to sea level. This makes acclimatization essential. The standard Everest Base Camp trekking itinerary includes at least two acclimatization days, one in Namche Bazaar and one in Dingboche, to allow the body to adapt to the reduced oxygen.

Common symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) include headaches, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, and disturbed sleep. Serious cases can lead to High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) or High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE), both of which are life-threatening.

To prevent AMS, trekkers should follow the principle of "climb high, sleep low", stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol, and ascend gradually. Trekking with experienced guides and using altitude medications like Diamox under medical advice also aids in acclimatization.

Altitude on the Trek is both its most rewarding and most demanding element. Proper preparation and acclimatization, days planned itinerary, and respect for your body's signals are key to conquering the heights safely.

What Are Accommodations Like on the Everest Trek?

Accommodation on the EBC Trek primarily consists of tea houses, which are small lodges run by local Sherpa families. These establishments offer basic but adequate lodging and are spread consistently along the trail from Lukla to Everest Camp. While the level of comfort can vary by altitude and location, all tea houses provide the essentials: a place to sleep, eat, and recover after long trekking days. 

Everest Base Camp Trek accommodation consists of rooms that are typically twin-sharing, featuring two single wooden beds, foam mattresses, a pillow, and a few blankets. Some higher-end tea houses in Namche Bazaar, Phakding, or Lukla may offer private rooms with attached bathrooms, but the majority have shared toilets and bathrooms, especially at higher elevations. Above Dingboche and Lobuche, accommodations become increasingly basic due to the remoteness and logistical challenges. Heating is generally unavailable in rooms, so trekkers are advised to carry a four-season sleeping bag for warmth during freezing nights.

Though modest in comfort, tea houses offer a truly authentic Himalayan experience. During peak trekking seasons, spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), it is wise to pre-book accommodation or trek with a guide who can arrange lodging ahead of time, as tea houses can get fully booked, especially in villages with limited capacity like Gorak Shep and Lobuche.

What Can You Eat and Drink During the Everest Trek?

Food and drinks on the EBC Trek are provided by the tea houses where trekkers stay overnight. Though the menus are similar across the route, they are carefully designed to offer high-energy, carb-rich meals that support physical endurance at high altitude. All meals are prepared using locally available ingredients, and while you won't find gourmet dining, the food is satisfying, warm, and nutritious.

The most popular and recommended meal is Dal Bhat, a traditional Nepali dish consisting of steamed rice, lentil soup, seasonal vegetables, and often pickles or curry. This dish is known for its unlimited servings in many tea houses and is favored by trekkers for its energy content and nutritional balance. Other common menu options include fried noodles, spaghetti, vegetable fried rice, potatoes in various forms (boiled, fried, curried), soups, and momos (Nepali dumplings).

When it comes to drinks, trekkers are advised to consume plenty of fluids to prevent altitude sickness and stay hydrated. Options include boiled water, herbal teas (ginger, mint, lemon), black tea, coffee, and hot lemon with honey. Soft drinks and bottled water are also available, but become increasingly expensive with altitude due to transportation costs. Alcoholic beverages like beer, rum, and whiskey are sometimes available in lower villages, but consuming alcohol at high altitudes is strongly discouraged due to its dehydrating effect and negative impact on acclimatization.

Overall, food and drink on the trek are simple but nourishing, providing trekkers with the necessary energy and hydration to tackle the rigors of high-altitude trekking.

Conclusion

With the right planning, mindset, and respect for altitude, the Mount Everest Base Camp Trek can be the adventure of a lifetime. From the thrilling Lukla flight to standing in Everest's shadow, it's an experience that changes you forever. Trekking to EBCamp is more than just reaching a famous destination; it's a life-changing journey through Nepal’s heart, culture, and towering Himalayan landscapes. Whether you choose to go solo on a budget or with the comfort of a guided group, the experience offers something deeply personal and unforgettable.

farewell-program

If you have an evening flight, you can visit some cultural places during the day. Then our representative will drop you at the Tribhuwan International Airport for your onward flight.

    Notes:

    The flight from Lukla to Kathmandu is redirected to Ramechhap due to traffic congestion and a high influx of tourists during the high season. The high tourist season in Nepal is spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). In the season of tourism, there are many international and domestic flights operating in different sectors, which is more than the capacity of the small Tribhuban International Airport. Due to this reason, there is a problem with air traffic and delays in Lukla flights too. Lukla flights are only in the morning, and it does not fly during the day due to heavy winds and foggy weather on the way to Lukla. If the flights are from Ramechaap, there is no issue of air traffic, and the flight duration is also less thanthat  from Kathmandu. Flight to Ramechhap will add 5 hours approx. to your journey. It seems like an added inconvenience, but let’s see the brighter side

    • Though you can go there in Winter and Monsoon, it is not recommended as the weather will be more challenging. In winter, from December to February, it is extremely cold but you can enjoy the clear skies and mountains too.

      And during the monsoon, from June to August, there is a high chance of landslides and muddy roads.

    • Though it is not mandatory, we suggest you have travel insurance for your trek in this region. We have a top 3 list of reasons you would find to have insurance for the trek.

      Injury: You will be going to the Himalayas, and the path is not easy. There is a chance of injury, and in rare cases, you might need an emergency helicopter rescue.

      Acclimatization: You will reach an altitude of 5,555 meters, so there is a possibility of getting mountain sickness. In those cases, proper rescue might be needed.

      Some travel insurance plan covers some important things like,

      Passport Loss
      Travel Delay
      Expenses on Medical and Emergency
      Loss of Baggage
      Note: Travel insurance will not include things like loss of personal accessories.

      There are a lot of travel insurance companies. We recommend that you choose the best travel insurance company. At least check what they cover and what they do and don't do to see if they are reliable.

      Excellent team to trek Everest Base Camp

      First of all, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to All Nepal Hiking for organizing such a beautiful and memorable trekking experience. The support I received was not limited to the trek itself; the entire team provided thoughtful care and seamless assistance before and after the journey — including flexible hotel arrangements, payment support, airport pickup and drop-off, as well as a warm farewell dinner. I truly felt as though I were treated like a member of their family, with support available around the clock, no matter where we were.

      I am especially grateful to Mithun for his attentive coordination throughout the trip. I was particularly impressed by how swiftly a helicopter was arranged to return from Lukla to Kathmandu, despite the high demand caused by two consecutive days of flight cancellations due to weather conditions.

      As for my dearest guide, Kisim — I could not have asked for a better companion on this journey. He consistently looked after us, proactively gathering information from other guides regarding weather, electricity, and network conditions, and keeping us informed in a timely manner. His advice on medication was incredibly helpful and reassuring, especially as it was my first time trekking at high altitudes.

      When changes to our itinerary were necessary, his prompt arrangements for accommodations gave me great confidence and peace of mind.

      In terms of hiking, he was incredibly strong and skillfully adjusted to each group member’s pace, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable trekking experience for all. His careful choice of routes helped minimize fatigue and made the journey even more pleasant.

      Overall, I am truly delighted to have completed the Everest Base Camp trek, and I owe my heartfelt thanks to All Nepal Hiking for making it possible.

      EBC hike

      Pre trip logistics handled by Jasmine were great, instructions were clear and responses were quick! Upon arrival, Mithun and my guide Kisim were on the ground to assist with any issues I had such as buying gear/ changing money etc

      Guide Kisim was amazing during the actual hike, we were clearly briefed on what to expect, and he always tried to make sure that we were comfortable and safe. We had lots of fun during the hike, and Kisim also went above and beyond to get us the best views and experience of the mountains, such as bringing us on an extra sunset hike at Dingboche which turned out fantastic. Great guide!

      I fell ill later on during the hike, and Mithun and Kisim were constantly checking in on me, making sure that the Heli evacuation was okay, and Mithun was at the hospital to accompany me and escort me back to the hotel in Kathmandu.

      All in all this was a great experience and I would highly recommend booking your trek with All Nepal Hiking!
