Everest Base Camp Trek

Everest Base Camp has been a popular destination for trekkers since the very first expeditions to the Nepalese side of Everest in 1953. To reach this part of the Himalaya within a limited time, we have devised this 16 day trek to Everest Base Camp, surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the world.

As well as stunning scenery everywhere you look, your time spent in the country is packed full of cultural experiences as you immerse yourself in the Sherpa way of life.
Our staff are well paid, well equipped and fully insured. Sherpas and guides working on our trips are really well looked after and we prioritise good wages and treatment over trying to be price competitive. Your money has a direct positive impact.

YOUR ADVENTURE STARTS HERE

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Everest Basecamp trek suits those who are keen trekkers. Each day is normally 4-8hrs of walking, and each member only carries a light (5kg) backpack. The walking itself is not overly strenuous however the altitude makes it feel quite hard. The path is normally very good although it can be rocky in places. All members have their personal equipment carried by our team of superstar porters.

Not sure whether you’re ready? No sweat! Drop us a note and we’ll be happy to talk it through with you or take our Everest Base Camp Readiness test here.

Adventure: Everest Base Camp Trek


What to expect from your accommodation

Accommodation along the trek will be a combination of lodges and hotels when in Kathmandu.

shutterstock_609915248-scaled

Tea House Accommodation

Accommodation is in the Sherpa teahouses and Lodges along the way. These are fairly modern to begin with but become a little more basic the further into the Khumbu we venture. They are always welcoming and warm with a selection of drinks (including fizzy soft drinks and beer) and great food – mostly local dishes like Dhal Bhat. Some items on the menu are also geared to Western tastes, such as omelettes and pizza.

The typical lodge will have twin rooms for sleeping and a large communal area for dining and relaxing that will have a stove that will be lit in the evenings. Lodges in the Khumbu are the best in Nepal. They’re not ultra modern or luxurious, but they’re clean and comfortable, and all have running water and clean toilet facilities.

WHAT TO EXPECT

HERE'S YOUR ITINERARY

While we try and stick to the tried and tested itinerary below, the mountain and the weather sometimes has other ideas. We will always remain as flexible as possible, which is why we only work with experienced and knowledgeable local guides, to make sure we can change any plans if required.

  • Day 1:
    Arrive in Kathmandu

    When you arrive at Kathmandu airport you will be greeted by an Adventure Base representative who will take you to your hotel. You spend the day resting and preparing for our adventure with the opportunity to head into the marketing in Kathmandu to experience the city or pick up any last minute bits.

  • Day 2:
    Flight to Lukla (2900m) and Trek to Phakding (2660m)

    You'll get up nice and early to try and catch one of the first flights out of Kathmandu to Lukla. You'll experience the exhiliraiting rush of landing at one of the most iconic airstrips on the planet. Once landed you will then meet your guide and porters for the trip. The day’s trek places you at the entrance to the Everest National Park in Monjo (2835m) and the adventure truly begins.

    7km / 250m+ / 450m- / 4 hours

  • Day 3:
    Trek to Namche (3440m)

    After entering the national park we walk alongside the giant Dudi Kosi River before we make our way slowly and steadily uphill to the Sherpa capital city Namche Bazaar, crossing some impressive bridges along the way. Namche is considered the capital of the Sherpa people and its impressive size and infrastructure is remarkable.

    11km / 1125m+ / 360m- / 6 hours

  • Day 4:
    Acclimatisations Day at Namche Bazaar (3440m)

    Today you rest in Namche Bazaar. Here you let your body get used to the increase in altitude. Some may take a gentle stroll to the Everest Hotel (3900m) to take in some of the breath taking views of the mountains, while others may wander the energetic streets of Namche to experience the shops and, if you’re lucky, the Tibetan Market.

  • Day 5:
    Trek to Deboche (3820m)

    It’s back on the trail as we make our way around the mountainside, sharing the trail with yaks and porters carrying supplies up and down the valley. We pass incredible viewpoints and, from this point on, it feels like you are truly in the Himalayas. You drop down to the Dudi Kosi River again before climbing up to the famous Thyangboche Monastery. There is time to explore this wonder of the Khumbu and to take in the history of the Lamas. Inside are beautiful wall hangings, ornate carvings and a giant Buddha. If the team is fortunate, it may be possible to see the Lamas praying which is a tremendously moving experience. We move down the hill a little to Deboche to spend the night nestled among the rhododendron trees in a quiet setting.

    12km / 1400m+ / 750m- / 6 hours

  • Day 6:
    Trek to Dingboche (4410m)

    A day that is dominated by the views of Ama Dablam (the ‘Matterhorn of the Himalaya’). You head further into the Khumbu area and reach Dingboche a small Sherpa village, where you settle down for another day of acclimatising. There are a few shops here so it’s a change to stock up on anything you might need.

    10km / 1130m+ / 1450m- / 6 hours

  • Day 7:
    REST DAY IN DINGBOCHE (4410M)

    This is a well earned rest day in Dingboche. Just like in Namche, you let your body catch up. If the weather allows, you can hike up above the village to a small summit that is strewn with prayer flags. Or of course you can simply rest, drinking the famous Nepalese honey, lemon, ginger tea.

  • Day 8:
    Trek to Lobuche (4930m)

    You leave Dingboche and contour around the hillside to Dzugla. From Dzugla you climb the hill that puts you among the climber’s memorials. This is an area where stones have been piled up into cairns to remember those who have died in the nearby mountains. It is a haunting and touching place and no-one passes without feeling moved by what they see and feel. A mellow walk takes you into Lobuche and our resting place for the night.

    9km / 750m+ / 100m- / 6 hours

  • Day 9:
    Trek to Everest Basecamp & Trek back to Gorak Shep

    Leave Lobuche in search of Gorak Shep, the highest settlement on the Everest Base Camp trek. Grab a quick drink here before heading off in search of Everest Base Camp. After a good few hours trekking you eventually grab site of the tents and the base of the Khumbu Glacier, and from where Edmund Hillary began his Everest ascent back in ’53. You'll spend a bit of time here before heading back to Gorak Shep.

    18km / 450m+ / 100m- / 8 hours

  • Day 10:
    Climb Kala Patthar (5,540m) & Trek to Pangboche (3,930m)

    After spending the night at Gorak Shep, you will climb Kala Pattar (5,540m) to reach the top as the sun rises on the highest mountain in the world. The views are simply stunning. This was the site of Base Camp for the 1953 Everest expedition, and also the world’s highest ever cricket match in 2009. You then head off down the mountain all the way to Pengboche.

    26km / 650m+ / 1850m- / 7 hours

  • Day 11:
    Trek to Khumjung Via Phortse

    Enjoy the winding trails as you head down the valley towards Khumjung. Stunning views and more oxygen will put a spring your step as you move.

    15km / 760m+ / 1000m- / 4-5 hours

  • Day 12:
    Trek to Monjo

    You head back through Namche today where we stop for food and any souvenirs you might decide you want. It’s a big milestone coming back through Namchee as you say goodbye to the capital of the Sherpa people.

    8km / 260m+ / 1200m- / 4 hours

  • Day 13:
    Trek to Lukla

    Your final day's trekking takes you back to the airport village of Lukla. Enjoy the scenery and the Sherpa people for one last time as you take your final steps on this magical adventure.

    13km / 750m+ / 750m- / 5 hours

  • Day 14:
    Fly to Kathmandu

    Wake up nice and early and fly back to Kathmandu. There’s no feeling quite like the one as you take off on that short platform in the twin engine plane. We transfer you back to your hotel in Kathmandu where you can put your feet up and enjoy a lovely warm shower.

  • Day 15:
    Free Day In Kathmandu.

    Enjoy Kathmandu ot the facilities at the hotel. This is also a spare day in case you don’t leave for the trek on the scheduled day at the beginning of the trip.

  • Day 16:
    International Departure from Kathmandu.

    Departure after breakfast.

We will provide you with a free duffel bag that you will use on the trek. The porters will carry it for you each day and deliver it to your accommodation. You will need a day pack of around 20-25L that can carry layers, snacks, water and anything else you might need while trekking. You will be able to leave your travel bag at the hotel until you return so can leave anything in that also.

EBC: CULTURE

One of the best things about the Everest Base Camp Trek is being able to get to know and learn Read more

One of the best things about the Everest Base Camp Trek is being able to get to know and learn about the Nepalese people, specifically the Sherpas. They were believed to have migrated to this region some 400 years ago from Tibet. You’ll find prayer flags, mani wheels and monasteries all along the route to symbolise their Buddhist traditions.

They’re an extremely friendly and welcoming group of people and enjoy a laugh. However you need to understand that in Nepal things don’t always go to plan and they have a laid back approach to plans. We find it’s best to try and embrace that, rather than fight it.

We need a minimum of 4 trekkers to run this course. Your booking will remain pending if you are the first to book onto a course and we will send you a confirmation as soon as the course is confirmed. We recommend not booking flights till the course is confirmed. We will confirm the course at the latest 10 weeks before the start date. In order to increase the chance of confirming trips as soon as possible we team up with other small suppliers, so you may be on the trip with trekkers who have booked from a similar company.

When in Katmandu options are endless. Whether you’re looking local Nepalese cuisine or a something your a little more familiar with at home, you’ll be able to get it.

When on the trails your options are also pretty good. The local dish is called Dhal Bhat which is comprised of white rice and lentils typically accompanied by a vegetable curry. Your Sherpas and Porters will eat this dish throughout the length

of the journey frequently quoting ‘Dal Bhat Power 24hr’. It’s not just Dal Bhat on offer though as almost all tea houses will offer mimosas, noddles, pizza, burgers and curry dishes. One things for sure, you won’t go hungry. You can pick up snacks and drinks all along the route but be aware the price goes up the higher you go.

One of the big questions we get asked before this trip is whether it’s safe to eat the meat. The answer is both yes and no, much like anywhere. If you want to remove any risk of food poisoning then stick to vegetarian options as it’s no fun trekking with an ‘iffy’ tummy.

  • Cough

We build in acclimitisation days to help with mitigate against these symptoms and all our guides are trained to look out for any symptoms. If there are problems we will react quickly to make sure they don’t turn in to major issues.

Yes, you will be able to charge devices like phones, cameras or go pros on the trip for a small charge. For Nepal there are three associated plug types, types C, D and M. Plug type C is the plug which has two round pins, plug type D is the plug which has three round pins in a triangular pattern and plug type M has three round pins. It’s worth bringing a battery pack so you don’t have to pay each time you stop. Expect to pay around $3 for this. Whats the toilet situation like? When in the tea houses the toilets are what you would expect to find anywhere else in the world. At restaurants or shops along the way expect to find a whole in the floor. You will need to buy toilet paper when you get to Kathmandu as this doesn’t come as standard.

Porters are the backbone of trekking in the Himalayas. Everything you see that’s man made on the mountain has probably had porters bring it there. They’re immensely strong and are use to the thin air.

On our trips we use porters to carry your overnight bags meaning you can carry a lighter day pack. It can feel a little uncomfortable at first but it provides work and opportunity for those aspiring to be guides. We will help with what to take on the trip but it’s important to remember when deciding on taking on that extra book or pair of shoes that someone else will be carrying it.

This medication is used to prevent and reduce the symptoms of altitude sickness. It can decrease headache, tiredness, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath that can occur when you climb quickly to high altitudes.

It’s not something that is often required on our trips due to the itinerary we have created for this adventure, with acclimatisation days where you rest or have a short sharp climb to prepare you for the future days.

Trekking takes place between September and November and March and May.
Each period has it’s own positives and negatives.

Autumn: This tends to be the most popular season for trekking to Everest Base Camp. The days tend to be sunny and clear with temperatures on the milder side. That said at night and at altitude it can get very cold.

Spring: Spring can bring a few more showers with some unsettled days however it does bring a little more warmth which can really be felt at night.

In all honesty there isn’t much in it so don’t overthink it. Expect day time temperatures to average at around 15°C to 20°C and night time to go from 0°C to -10°C.
