Everest Base Camp Trek 16 Days – Package Cost 2026/2027

Looking for a truly rewarding Himalayan adventure in 2026/2027? The Everest Base Camp Trek (16 Days) takes you deep into Nepal’s legendary Khumbu region, following the classic trail through Sherpa villages, alpine valleys, and dramatic high-altitude landscapes.

The journey leads to Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) and offers close-up views of iconic Himalayan peaks, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Makalu. This trek is more than reaching a famous destination. It is a gradual and meaningful journey through the heart of the Himalayas, blending mountain scenery, cultural heritage, and personal achievement.

Before the trek starts, take a guided tour of Kathmandu and its UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This easy cultural tour gives a clear view of Nepal’s history, art, and daily traditions, making it a great way to begin the Everest Base Camp Trek before heading into the mountains.

Depending on the season, the trail passes through blooming rhododendron forests, crosses long suspension bridges above rushing rivers, and winds past mani walls and prayer flags that reflect the region’s deep Buddhist traditions. The adventure begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, one of the world’s most renowned mountain airstrips. From Lukla, the route gently ascends through Phakding and Monjo before reaching Namche Bazaar (3,440 m).

As the main Sherpa trading center, Namche is a key acclimatization stop, offering bakeries, small museums, monasteries, and sweeping views of the surrounding peaks. In terms of difficulty, the Everest Base Camp Trek is considered moderate to challenging. No technical climbing skills are required, but the combination of altitude, daily walking, and changing terrain makes preparation important. Most days involve 5–6 hours of walking at a steady pace.

This 16-day itinerary includes two dedicated acclimatization days, allowing safe altitude adaptation and reducing the risk of altitude-related issues as elevations exceed 5,000 meters. Cultural encounters are a highlight of the trek. The Everest region is home to the Sherpa people, known for their hospitality, resilience, and deep spiritual connection to the mountains. Along the trail, trekkers experience daily village life, spinning prayer wheels, and centuries-old monasteries, where morning chants create a calm contrast to the rugged Himalayan landscape.

The trail follows the Dudh Koshi River, crossing high suspension bridges shared with yak caravans and local porters. Glaciers, icefalls, and snow-covered peaks dominate the skyline. Despite its popularity, the Everest Base Camp trekremains special due to its balance of accessibility, comfort, scenery, and cultural richness.

The cost of the Everest Base Camp Trek in 2025/2026 typically ranges from USD 1,299 to 1,689 for a fully guided 16-day program. This usually includes permits, domestic flights, accommodation, meals during the trek, and experienced local guides.

The acclimatization hike to Nangkartshang Hill is physically demanding but important for adjusting to high altitude. The trail from Gorak Shep to Everest Base Camp is rough and rocky, and during snowy periods, microspikes are often needed for safety. The climb to Kala Patthar is a long, steady uphill walk and is one of the most challenging parts of the trek.

On clear days, we can see Mount Everest before reaching Namche Bazaar. The mountain stays visible along sections of the trail until Pangboche, then disappears from view and only returns when you arrive at Gorak Shep.

For the return journey, the Everest Base Camp trek descends through Pheriche instead of Dingboche. This route is shorter and quieter and offers a more peaceful walk back through the Khumbu Valley.

The Key Highlights of the Everest Base Camp 16-Day Trek:

  • Visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Kathmandu Valley.
  • Begin with an exhilarating flight to Lukla, offering breathtaking mountain views.
  • Explore Sherpa villages and immerse yourself in their rich culture.
  • Cross thrilling suspension bridges over rushing rivers.

How difficult is the Everest Base Camp Trek (14 Days)?

The Everest Base Camp Trek is challenging, but it is achievable for most people with good preparation and a positive mindset.  Every year, thousands of trekkers from all over the world complete this journey, many of them without prior high-altitude trekking experience. The key challenges are long walking days, changing terrain, and altitude rather than technical climbing.

On most days, you will walk for about 5 to 6 hours, usually starting around 8:00 in the morning and finishing by mid-afternoon. This pace allows time for rest, acclimatization, and enjoying the scenery. The trail includes stone steps, forest paths, suspension bridges, and gradual uphill climbs. While some sections can feel demanding, the route is well established and clearly marked.

The biggest factor is altitude. As you gain height, the air becomes thinner, which can make walking feel slower and more tiring. This is why the 14-day itinerary includes rest days, especially in places like Namche Bazaar and Dingboche.  With proper acclimatization, steady pacing, and listening to your guide, most trekkers manage the altitude well. The incredible mountain views, Sherpa villages, and sense of achievement make the effort worthwhile.

What is the best time for the Everest Base Camp Trek?

The best times to trek to Everest Base Camp are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November).  These seasons offer the most stable weather, clear skies, and excellent mountain views, making them ideal for both first-time and experienced trekkers.

In spring, the days are generally mild, and the trails come alive with blooming rhododendrons at lower elevations. Temperatures in Namche Bazaar (3,440 m) usually range between 3°C and 9°C, while nights are colder at higher altitudes. This season is also popular with climbers preparing for Everest, adding a lively atmosphere to the region.

Autumn is known for its crisp air and very clear visibility, especially after the monsoon rains have washed dust from the mountains. Daytime temperatures are comfortable for walking, though nights can drop below freezing at higher villages. The trails are busy but well organized.

Winter (December to February) is much colder, with daytime temperatures often below zero at higher elevations. Snowfall is common, but the trails are quieter, making it a good choice for trekkers who prefer fewer crowds and are well prepared for cold conditions. The monsoon season (June to August) is generally avoided due to rain, clouds, and slippery trails, although some lower-altitude walks are still possible.

Choosing the right season depends on your comfort with weather, crowds, and trail conditions, but for most trekkers, spring and autumn provide the best overall experience.

To adapt to the higher altitude, we go for a day hike to Nagarjun Hill (5,100m), a hill located on the edge of Chhukung Valley. Getting there is quite a challenge as the trail is very steep at some points. However, once you reach atop the hill, you will be awarded up-close views of Lobuche East (6,119m), Lobuche West (6,145m), Taboche Peak (6,367m), Thamserku (6,608m), Ama Dablam (6,856m), and Kangtega (6,685m).

This is the day to realize the dream of exploring the Everest Base Camp (5364m/17594ft). In the early morning, we journeyed through rocky terrains alongside the Khumbu glacier to reach Gorakshep (5180m/16990ft). We check in the room at a teahouse, put in our luggage, have a quick lunch, and prepare to continue to the Everest Base Camp. The straight trail to the Everest Base Camp is challenging due to the accumulated glacial debris, rocky dunes, and moraine. At the Everest Base Camp, we enjoy the Khumbu Glacier and icefall. The Everest Base Camp is stunningly beautiful, with spectacular views of Nuptse, Khumbutse, and Pumori. You may engage yourself in capturing the best experiences and memories through the lens as we take enough time here. We may find beautiful mountain mice called 'pika', and flocks of Tibetan snow peacocks called Khongma at the base camp. After sinking in the mountains' beauty, we return to Gorakshep for an overnight stay. Overnight in Gorakshep.

We start our journey before dawn to catch the first light, illuminating the peak Nuptse Nup, Changtse, and Lhotse. Kala Patthar stands for black stone in Nepali. Our trail passes through the rough terrain of black stones. The whole process of sunlight falling on the peaks and turning them into golden objects seems alchemical. We also get the panoramic view of Nuptse (7, 861m/ 25,791 ft.), Ama Dablam (6,812 m/ 22,350 ft.), Lobuche (6,119m/20075 ft.) and Mt Everest from the summit of Kala Patthar.

Useful Info

Lukla Flight Information & Delays

Flights to Lukla are closely influenced by both seasonal air traffic and mountain weather, so your flight arrangements can differ depending on when you travel.

During the peak trekking months of March, April, May, September, October, and November, Lukla flights generally operate from Ramechhap (Manthali) Airport rather than Kathmandu. Ramechhap is around 4–5 hours by road from Kathmandu, although the journey can take longer depending on traffic and road conditions. During the quieter months, flights normally operate from Kathmandu.

The exact departure airport is determined by the airlines and current flight operations. Weather can also change quickly in the Everest region, and delays or cancellations are possible even when conditions are clear in Kathmandu.

For this reason, we strongly recommend keeping 1–2 extra days in your Nepal itinerary, particularly before your international flight home. This gives you a practical buffer if your Lukla flight is delayed or cancelled and helps avoid the risk of missing your onward flight. If a flight disruption occurs, our team will monitor the situation and help arrange the most practical available alternative.

Please reread. 

  • Baggage Allowance: Lukla flights allow 10 kg of checked baggage plus 5 kg of hand carry per passenger per flight. Excess baggage may incur additional charges and is subject to the airline's weight restrictions.
  • Helicopter Options: If your regular flight is cancelled due to weather and you choose to travel by helicopter, the fare is USD 550 per person, or USD 3,200 for a private helicopter charter.
  • Flight Ticket Refund: When a Lukla flight is cancelled due to weather, the airline ticket is normally fully refunded. We will apply the refunded flight amount toward the helicopter cost, so you only pay the remaining difference per passenger.

Weather & Best Time to Trek

The best seasons for the Everest Base Camp trek are spring and autumn, particularly March to May and late September to November. These months generally offer more stable weather, clearer mountain views, and good trail conditions. October and November are especially popular, so teahouses and flights can be busy.

Winter (December to February) brings colder temperatures and freezing conditions at higher elevations, but clear skies can provide excellent mountain views. Some lodges operate throughout the season, although facilities are more limited.

The monsoon months of June to August bring rain to lower sections and can affect flights to Lukla. The Everest region receives less rain than many parts of Nepal, but cloud and wet trails can still make travel less predictable.

Mountain weather can change quickly in any season, so flexibility remains important.

What is the accommodation like during the trek?

In Kathmandu, you will stay in a comfortable 3-star hotel. During the trek, we use welcoming local teahouses and guesthouses along the route, giving you a chance to experience the simple, friendly style of accommodation found in the Everest region.

Rooms are normally twin-sharing, with another trekker of the same gender. Private rooms can be requested for an additional fee, although availability becomes limited at higher altitudes, particularly during the busy spring and autumn seasons.

Up to Namche Bazaar, the teahouses we select generally offer rooms with attached bathrooms. Above Namche, accommodation becomes more basic, with shared toilets and washing facilities. Hot showers are available at many lodges, although availability and heating methods, including gas, solar power, or heated water, vary with altitude and lodge.

A hot shower usually costs around USD 3–5, with prices generally increasing as you climb higher. After a long day on the trail, many trekkers find it well worth the extra few dollars.

What is the food like on the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included during the trek. Breakfast is also included at your Kathmandu hotel, while lunch and dinner in Kathmandu are normally arranged separately unless stated in your itinerary. We also host welcome and farewell dinners for our guests.

During the trek, breakfast and dinner are served at the teahouse where you stay, while lunch is usually taken at a teahouse along the trail. Menus offer a surprisingly wide choice, including eggs, toast, porridge, momos, dal bhat, noodles, pasta, soup, fried rice, and chow mein. Dal bhat, made with rice, lentils, and vegetables, is particularly popular because it is filling and provides a good source of energy for long trekking days.

We recommend choosing freshly cooked vegetarian meals at higher elevations. Meat is transported into the mountains from lower areas, and storage conditions can vary, so many experienced trekkers prefer to avoid it above Namche.

Drinking Water on the Everest Base Camp Trek

Drinking water is not included with your meals, but safe drinking-water options are available throughout the trek. You can refill your bottle at teahouses or designated water sources and treat the water before drinking. Water purification tablets, a sterilizing pen, or a reliable water filter are all practical options.

Bottled and boiled water are also available at teahouses, but the price increases as you gain altitude because everything has to be transported into the mountains. Expect to pay roughly USD 1 per litre at lower elevations, with prices reaching around USD 4 or more per litre higher on the trail. Bringing a reusable bottle and treating refill water is usually the more economical and environmentally responsible option.

Electricity, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks in the Everest region

Electricity is available at most teahouses, although charging becomes more limited and expensive as you climb higher. Expect to pay around USD 2–6 to charge a phone, camera, or power bank, depending on the location. We recommend bringing a 20,000 mAh power bank.

Cold temperaturescan drain batteries quickly, so keep your phone, camera batteries, and power bank warm, especially overnight.

Wi-Fi is available at many teahouses, but it becomes slower and less reliable at higher elevations. Ncell and Nepal Telecom (NTC) are the main mobile networks in Nepal. Both work reasonably well around Lukla and Namche, while coverage becomes less reliable higher on the trail.

We recommend buying a local SIM/eSIM in Kathmandu and downloading important maps and documents for offline use before starting the trek.

Equipment and Packing List

Packing the right gear will help you stay comfortable throughout your Langtang Valley Trek. Keep your luggage light and bring only the essentials. If you hire a porter, we recommend packing no more than 10 kg (22 lbs) per person in your duffel bag.

Altitude Sickness: Symptoms & What We Do

Altitude sickness can affect anyone above 3,000 meters, regardless of age or fitness. Common symptoms include headache, tiredness, dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, and disturbed sleep. Our itinerary allows time for gradual acclimatization, and our guides keep a close eye on how each trekker is feeling.

If you develop symptoms, we do not encourage you to simply push on. Depending on their severity, our guide may recommend resting at the same altitude or descending. Worsening or severe symptoms require immediate descent and medical attention.

Some trekkers consider acetazolamide (Diamox) for altitude sickness. If you are considering it, speak with your doctor before the trek to determine whether it is suitable for you.

We require all trekkers to have travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking and emergency helicopter evacuation up to the maximum altitude of their itinerary. Some Everest itineraries reach over 5,500 meters, particularly when Kala Patthar is included.

Visa & Entry Requirements

Most foreign nationals require a tourist visa to enter Nepal. You can obtain a Nepal tourist visa before your trip from a Nepalese embassy or consulate or on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) and selected official land border entry points.

Please note that nationals of Afghanistan, Iraq, Cameroon, Ghana, Somalia, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Palestine, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Liberia are not eligible for a visa on arrival.

Our Trekking Guides/Leaders 

Here at Adventure Club, our staff is like family. We only use locals to support their communities and train our staff rigorously to be the best they can be—for you! 

  •  Full first-aid training
  • Guide Training (trekking)
  • English and other common languages (as requested) 
  • Village and Land Conservation 
  • Mountaineering (for specialty expeditions or climbing treks)

All our guides are highly trained in all aspects of trekking, conversation, first-aid, and emergency evacuation. They are all very professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about tourism. They are local guides, and their English is sometimes limited to trek-related topics. They know how to facilitate running a smooth and safe trip while appreciating the beauty of the Himalayan world.

Porter Welfare

Our porters play an important role in making your trek safe and enjoyable. We ask all trekkers to treat them with kindness and respect throughout the journey. To protect their health and well-being, each porter carries luggage for a maximum of two trekkers, with a combined weight limit of 20 kg (44 lbs). We kindly ask you to keep your duffel bag within 10 kg (22 lbs) per person.

At Adventure Club Trek, we provide our porters with fair wages, proper clothing and equipment, meals, and accommodation during the trek. If a porter becomes ill or is injured, we ensure they receive the necessary medical care, including emergency evacuation when required. We also follow the guidelines of the International Porter Protection Group (IPPG) and are committed to providing safe and fair working conditions for our trekking staff.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is required for the Everest Base Camp Trek. Before you travel, please make sure your policy covers trekking in Nepal up to 6000 meters (19,404 ft) and includes emergency helicopter evacuation.

We recommend that your insurance policy cover the following:

  • Emergency helicopter evacuation
  • Medical treatment and hospitalization
  • Trip cancellation or interruption
  • Lost, stolen, or delayed baggage
  • Personal accident and liability

Please carry a printed or digital copy of your insurance policy, including your policy number and emergency contact details, during the trek.

In the event of an emergency, our guides will arrange the necessary rescue and medical assistance. However, the cost of evacuation and medical treatment is the responsibility of your insurance provider or yourself if your policy does not provide adequate coverage.

Recommended Travel Insurance Providers

There are many travel insurance companies that offer coverage for trekking in Nepal. When choosing a policy, make sure it covers high-altitude trekking, emergency helicopter evacuation, and medical expenses.

Some well-known travel insurance providers include:

America


Canada


Europe

Asia & Middle East


Australia

Please note that the availability of these providers may vary by country. Before purchasing a policy, carefully check that it covers trekking in Nepal up to the maximum altitude of your itinerary and includes emergency helicopter evacuation.

Adventure Club Trek is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of the companies listed above. They are provided only as examples of insurers that many travelers have used for trekking holidays. You are welcome to choose any insurance provider that offers the coverage you need.

Group Size & Guide Support

We keep our scheduled trekking groups to a maximum of 14 travelers, allowing our guides to give everyone personal attention throughout the trek.

Our licensed local guides and porters are assigned according to the group size and itinerary. Since everyone walks at a different pace, our guides manage the group so that nobody feels unnecessarily rushed or left behind.

Solo travelers can join a scheduled small-group departure or choose a private trek. We can also arrange customized departures for larger private groups on request.

Tipping

Tipping is not mandatory in Nepal, but it is a thoughtful way to show your appreciation for good service. If you are happy with the support you receive, you may choose to tip your guide, porter, driver, or hotel staff at the end of the trip.

There is no fixed amount, and how much you tip is entirely up to you. Our guides and porters are paid fairly for their work, so tips are never expected. However, they are always appreciated as a gesture of thanks for their hard work and dedication.

FAQs

  • Q1. How difficult is the Everest Base Camp Trek?

    Everest Base Camp Trek is an adventurous journey that goes up to 5,500m/18,192ft on the lap of the world's highest peak. However, you do not have to be an expert in mountaineering to accomplish this trek. The acclimatization period of about one week set in the initial phase of the trek will prepare you to adjust to the condition at a higher altitude. It only requires good mental health and physique. With the leadership of our experienced guide, qualified in first aid, you can complete the trek efficiently. There will always be a guide beside you to make sure you take frequent breaks and drink many fluids as you climb higher on mountains. Your safety is our main concern. We will take care of all your needs to ensure you are happy with this 16-day Everest Base Camp Trek.

  • A Representative from the Adventure Club Trek will receive a warm welcome at Tribhuvan International Airport, the sole international airport in Nepal.

  • Yes, most of our departures sell out during the peak seasons, but during the off-season, we generally have smaller groups. We guarantee all departures. Once you make the deposit, we will organize the trek for you. Your departure can also be scheduled.

  • You can pay the balance with a credit card or in cash (we accept all major currencies) before departing on the trek. This is to inform you that we charge a 3.5% fee for credit card payments. So, it’s up to you to choose the modes of payment.

  • It is sometimes the case that trekkers finish ahead of schedule or stop early for health or personal reasons. If this is the case, please understand that we cannot offer refunds for unused days on the trek. Please understand that our costs are the same as we must pay our guides and porters for the time they have committed.

  • Due to adverse weather conditions or other technical issues, flights may get canceled or delayed to and from Lukla. In such a case, we can rebook your flight for the next day. To deal with such an unpredictable situation (adverse weather conditions, flight delay), we recommend you prepare and schedule a couple of extra days for the trek.

    Alternatively, there is an option to charter a private helicopter to ensure you attend the deadline for the trekking or the scheduled international flight. The helicopter takes 4 to 5 passengers at a time. A chartered helicopter flight will cost an extra USD 3,000. On a sharing basis, it costs USD 500 per person. The trekkers will have to bear and share the cost of the trekking guide for the helicopter ride. The price is applicable during emergencies.

    As a limited number of helicopters are also engaged in other activities in the mountains, you will have to be in a queue to get the helicopter flight. The possibility of getting the helicopter flight at the requested time is less. So, the earlier you book the flight, the earlier your turn comes to get the helicopter flight.

  • It is better to train to improve strength and cardio endurance as a preparation. About one or two months before you hit the trail to the Everest Base Camp, you may start hiking and walking long distances at least once a week. Taking long walks carrying a daypack will help you build up endurance. You should be able to walk for 5 to 6 hours with the least break. In case of chronic diseases and conditions, we advise you to consult with your doctor before making the trip to the Everest Base Camp.

  • Although Everest Trek or Everest Base Camp Trek is one most challenging trails, there is no age limit or age restriction for it. The Everest Base camp trek can be completed with the proper guidance and assistance of trekking guides and porters. There are records of a seven-year-old child and a septuagenarian completing the Everest Base Camp Trek. A little over two-week-long EBC Trek includes two-day acclimatization — the first in Namche Bazaar and the second in Dingboche, which helps trekkers adapt to the changing climates and high altitudes. It only takes strong confidence and the ability to face all barriers; anyone with a good physique can complete the Everest Base camp trek. If you do not want to take a risk but still want to reach the Everest Base Camp or get a closer view of Mt Everest, you may take a helicopter tour.

  • We get a lot of first-time trekkers in our groups, so even if you have yet to gain experience, you will be in good hands. Your fitness level should be such that you are comfortable walking all day. Previous hiking or trekking experience is always a plus.

  • Yes, tea houses have electricity in common areas. They charge an extra fee of Rs 100 Up to Tengboche for charging a device's battery. Moreover, there are solar panels in the tea houses in higher altitudes above Tengboche, which charge Rs 200 to 400.

  • Yes, all of our staff at the Adventure Club Trek are insured against sickness and injury.

  • The assistant guide will lead the slowest person in the group, while the main guide will accompany those who walk at a fast pace. Note that trekking at high altitudes emphasizes pace rather than speed. Each day has a designated destination, and whether you arrive in the early afternoon or a few hours later is irrelevant. The key is to acclimate effectively by moving at a slower pace. The Everest Base Camp Trek is not about being the fastest; it's about embracing a leisurely approach and enjoying an incredible journey. The most memorable adventures are when you pause, observe your surroundings, and progress step by step rather than rushing past them.


     

  • You can meet the guides before leaving; the porters are all local to the area of your trek (this helps us to give something back to the local community), so you will meet them upon your arrival at your trekking gateway.

  • If any problem occurs, it will be dealt with as suits the group. If the group is in a hurry, we will split the group, and one English-speaking guide will remain with (or descend with) the person while the rest of the group continues with the other English-speaking guide. If the group is on time, they can wait a day or two while the person acclimatizes. Our guide carries a first aid kit which includes Diamox, the drug used to treat altitude sickness. Suppose there is a case of severe altitude sickness or any other emergency. In that case, we will call an emergency helicopter pickup (paid for by your insurance company). The person can be taken to the hospital in Kathmandu, usually accompanied by a friend or an English-speaking guide if they're traveling alone.

  • Yes, our guides are well trained and qualified with fluent English. Some of them have also conversational skills in other European languages.

  • Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere in Nepal. However, credit cards are accepted only in Namche Bazaar during the Everest Base Camp.
     

  • If you become sick during the trek or show symptoms of altitude sickness but still want to continue. In that case, you may contact us directly by phone/email or ask your guide to contact our office in Kathmandu to make arrangements. That's why we advise all trekkers to plan for the trek in Nepal with three extra days and with the plan to change their international flights if needed.

    You may rest and wait a day or two at a tea house to recover. An assistant guide or a porter will be there to wait for you in case you need assistance. After you recover, your assistant will guide you to catch up with your group. If it takes more than two days to recover. In that case, you may have to descend to Namche Bazaar with either the porter or the assistant guide so that we can arrange a private trekking guide to meet your new schedule. There is always a benefit of spending more time in the mountain. For instance, you will have proper acclimatization while descending to Namche Bazaar. There will be less chance of suffering from altitude-related sickness when you ascend again. We charge an additional cost for adjusting a new schedule with another guide beyond your original schedule.

  • The trip cost offered by Adventure Club Trek is almost an all-inclusive price. Once you buy our Everest Base Camp trek, you do not need so much cash during the trek. On average, US$ 250 should be enough for personal drinks, tips, and shopping. There are ATM facilities right from Lukla en route up to Namche Bazaar.
     

  • During October, the average daytime temperature reaches up to 14°C / 57.2°F. On sunny days, the temperature reaches about 20 °C / 68°F. The night and mornings are the coldest. At night it can reach up to -6°C / 21.2°F while on a cold morning, it can drop to -10 °C / 14°F in regions above 4000 meters / 13,123 feet.

  • Yes, make sure to have medical and evacuation insurance before coming to Nepal for the Everest Base Camp trekking. It would be best to be careful in choosing a policy while traveling to a Himalayan country like Nepal, as some insurance companies may make special exceptions for adventure travel. If you need clarification about the insurance, please inform us, and we will help you. It is usually better to arrange your insurance in your country before you travel.

  • Yes, absolutely! You can do the Everest Base Camp trek with us, but you need to contact us on time, i.e., at least three months before the trek date. We need to know about your health history and daily lifestyle. Once we get to know about these parameters, then we can advise whether you are eligible for the trek or not. We suggest you undertake certain exercises and short-day hikes accordingly.
     

  • The coldest temperatures at the Everest Summit and Base Camp occur from mid-December to the end of January. The temperatures at the summit drop to average -37C (-35F) while those at Everest Basecamp to -17C (1.4F). Temperatures rise rapidly in the spring (from mid-April), although nights remain cold and chilly.
    Day temperatures are comfortable with sunny skies, but it gets below freezing at night during the winter. During the spring, the day temperatures are warm enough for travelers to trek in t-shirts, while it can be chilly at night. During monsoon, rain and snowfall are common. Autumn is a great time with clear days and comfortable temperatures.

  • We ensure the travel safety of all our male and female trekking guests. Nepal, on the whole, is both very safe and welcoming of foreign visitors. We have long-standing, strong relationships with the lodges we frequent and know them to be safe and reliable. In addition, our guides are consistently mindful of all guests' whereabouts while trekking. We travel in small groups, all the better to easily maintain continual contact.

  • You should bring only the items that you will use during the trek. The main pack or the duffle bag provided by the Adventure Club Trek should weigh at most 11kg/24 pounds, which porters will carry. We advise you to bring some dry bags inside your duffle bag to pack wet clothes, shoes, dirty clothes Etc. There will be one porter to carry two trekkers' main pack during the trek. Apart from this, it would help if you also carried a daypack that weighs about 5kg (11pounds)

  • This is certainly possible if you have arranged a private trek with us. If you are doing a group trek, please ask us in advance how this might be arranged, and we will do our best to find a good solution.

  • We can arrange a private room in Kathmandu. In some of the villages on the trek, it may be possible to have a private room (with a little bit of extra cost), and we will do our best to arrange that. However, during busy times of the year there is a limited amount of lodging available in some of the villages so it's generally impossible to arrange private rooms. This is the case even if you're willing to pay extra since the tea house owners will not give out a private room if it means someone else goes without a room.

  • Not the crampons, but we recommend micro-spikes for Everest Base Camp Trek or Gokyo Trek, especially the three-passes trek. There is a possibility of snow and ice on any of the treks. Most likely, these will not be used, but picking up a pair will help you prepare for the worst. Micro-spikes can be attached securely to the footwear and require no special buckles or straps to attach.

  • Operating lodges at Everest Base Camp is strictly prohibited. However, Everest authorities allow sleeping at the base camp in tents during the Everest Expedition Spring Season with special permits. If you have friends or acquaintances on the expedition team. In that case, you may get the opportunity to sleep at the Everest Base Camp with approval from our guide leading your team.

  • Severe cases of AMS are rare. As first aid, we can take Diamox on the Everest Base Camp trek. All our Adventure Club Trek guides are aware of the symptoms of AMS and can handle the situation with care. We prioritize acclimatization, talk about the use of Diamox beforehand and counsel all our trekkers on the risk and preventive factors before and during the trip. Your safety is our main concern.

  • Ensure you keep all the items in your carry-on during the flight. If your luggage is delayed, you want to be with important documents and medication. It would also help if you carried these in your day pack on the trek.

  • As you are close to the mountains, the temperature is cold and chilly even during summertime. The lower regions might have a harsh temperature due to the possibility of rainfall at the end of May. The temperature may range from 20-30°C / 68-86°F.

  • Yes, cell phone networks can be found on the trail of Everest Base Camp trek. Most of the places get cell phone coverage either by Nell or NTC networks. However, at certain areas, there may be no coverage at all.

  • Our EBC 16 days trekking packages include 3 nights hotel in Kathmandu and we can arrange extra nights for $45 (single) or $60 (double room). Please let us know in advance if you need extra nights so they can be reserved. You can pay any extra nights when you arrive to the hotel directly. Sometimes you will find cheaper rates online for these hotels, but the advantage of having us make the arrangements is that if your Lukla flight is delayed we can shift or cancel the reservation at no extra cost.

  • The best time to visit Everest Base Camp depends on what kind of activities you hope to do.

    Spring (March-May) or fall (October-November) is a suitable time for trekking. The weather remains favorable with clear skies, little-to-no rain, and less chance of problematic snowfall. The trails are the busiest with flocked travelers during the Spring and the Autumn.

    Although the monsoon season (June to early September) is not an ideal time to travel to EBC due to wet weather and muddy conditions that can lead to landslides on trails, the temperatures remain warmer. If you do not mind getting a bit wet trekking can be done on this route as the higher you go in altitude, there will be less rain. You can also do trekking in the winter. you will get crystal-clear views of mountains despite extremely cold weather. You will need to be well prepared for freezing conditions.

    Helicopter tour can be done any time except for monsoon season.

    EBC Trek - Unforgettable Journey!

    What an amazing experience! It would be impossible to put into words. The views, the people, the food, and the villages we stayed, unforgettable. What a special place!

    I feel so grateful to have met and trekked with our guide Birendra, one of the best people on the planet. Not to mention he is one of the coolest and funniest guys with a huge heart. He is a lifetime friend for sure. I can't imagine the trip being anywhere near what it was without him there to lead us.

    I know that he's been in the industry for over 20 years and I don't think that anyone is more connected. For example, the airport runways were shut down and Birendra personally called the owner of a helicopter company and got our group off of the mountain without much delay at all. I know that other people were stranded there for days. He simply goes above and beyond the call of duty in every sense. I would trust my family and friends with him, he's one of the best guides I've ever had.

    I can't say enough good things about this trek or this company.

    I hope you get the chance to experience it all for yourself!!
