“JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF ALL MOUNTAINS IN NEPAL”
Amongst some of the most sought after, unique and popular treks of the world, the Everest Base Camp Trek promises to send one home with memories that will last a lifetime. Stationed at a height of 5364 meters (17598.4252 Feet), the South Everest Base Camp can be accessed via a scenic journey through the pristine lap of Nepal.
Away from the cacophony of everyday life and mundane routine, the Everest Base Camp Trek offers adventure lovers a chance to plunge into the lap of Nature and experience Mother Earth in her rawest form. Here, one will get a chance to test one’s endurance and love of challenges as one travels to the camp crossing wide chasms, balancing upon suspension bridges and exploring quaint and remote Buddhist Monasteries, located deep within the heart of ‘Sherpa Country’. Guided and welcomed by these hardened yet warm inhabitants, one will learn much about the lores of the land while crossing three of the ten highest peaks of the world – Cho You, Lhotse and Makalu.
If the sight of these magnificent wonders of Nature were not enough, nights are assured to be even more mesmerising as one rests in traditional teahouses whilst being enchanted by the blanket of stars above. One can rest in relaxed comfort, in the knowledge that their safety and responsibility lies in the hands of extremely experienced guides and porters, who have grown up amongst the mountains that one is traversing through.
Apart from this, as most of the trek passes through the Sagarmatha National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), that houses the ever-graceful Musk Deer, the reclusive Snow Leopard. The Himalayan Tahr and even the playful Black Bears. This and the iridescent cacophony of pheasants will surely keep one entranced along the trail.
Overall, the Everest Base Camp Trek apart from taking one to the base of the highest mountain in the world, lets the traveller explore pristine high-altitude landscapes, peaceful Buddhist monasteries and experience the raw warmth of traditional Sherpa culture (especially of the Solu Khumbu region), ensuring that he/she returns home from the land of the mountains with memories for a lifetime and new friends to keep exploring the world with.

In peak trek seasons (March, April, May, Sept, October, and November), Lukla flights from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) may be rerouted to Manthali Airport due to traffic congestion. So, during these months, our guide will pick you up from your hotel at around 12:30 am for a five-hour drive to Manthali. From Manthali, you will take a 20-minute flight to Lukla. In other months (December, January, February, June, July, and August), you will take a 40-minute flight to Lukla from Kathmandu.
If you want to avoid the drive to Manthali from Kathmandu, you can book a helicopter to Lukla. However, it will cost you around 550 USD extra, provided five persons share the cost.
Our journey to EBC, which begins from Lukla, will be very exciting, as it will be our 1st day of the trek. We will leave Lukla and trek through Chaurikharka village and descend to Dudhkoshi Ghat (2,530m / 8,300ft) until we reach Phakding. Today’s trek will be short and enjoyable as we will also be acclimatizing. We can spend our spare time visiting local monasteries (like Rimishung Monastery) and preparing ourselves for a long trek the next day.

From this forest, we will catch the first sight of Mt. Everest. Trekking further, we will arrive at Namche Bazaar- the gateway to Everest.

It is time to acclimatize at Namche Bazaar itself. We recommend you to explore Namche Bazaar, as this town hosts numerous wifi-linked cafes and restaurants, souvenirs, and gear shops. We have several hiking options – such as visiting Hillary School, Sherpa settlement, Syangboche Airport, and yak farms. If you are passionate about Everest, you should not miss hiking up to Everest View Hotel, from where you can catch the breathtaking views of Mt. Everest.

This day we will leave Namche and head to Tengboche. The trail is full of ups and downs and passes through forests, making the trek challenging, but the views you get to enjoy are truly-rewarding.

Near the end of the trek, you will find yourself descending to Phunki Thenga Village, but after leaving Phunki Thenga, you will be ascending continuously until you reach Tengboche. Tengboche looks like handcrafted natural beauty, which opens up the stunning views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. This day also provides you the chance to see the biggest Buddhist monastery in the Khumbu Region – the Tengboche Monastery. We will be spending the night at Deboche.

Yet another short trek day that also marks the end of our trekking. We start by making a return down the Dudh Koshi valley. The route is mostly gentle uphill up to Kusum Stream, but before reaching Lukla, the trail heads steeply up to the west and takes us to Toktok. From here, the views will be entirely different, and we will spend some time savoring those views. We will continue until we reach Lukla. This will be our last day of trekking, and we will be resting at Lukla at night

This is the last of your trek. After breakfast, you will fly back to Kathmandu or Manthali, depending on the trekking season. If you are trekking in peak seasons (March, April, May, Sept, October, and November), from Lukla, you will take a 20-minute flight to Manthali Airport, and we will then drive you to Kathmandu from Manthali. In other months (December, January, February, June, July, and August), you will take the 40-minute flight back to Kathmandu.
You can book a helicopter from Lukla to Kathmandu to avoid the five-hour-long drive from Manthali to Kathmandu. However, it will cost around 500 USD extra, provided you share your helicopter with four others.
We hope your flight will be a relaxing one and provide you some time to appreciate your achievement and fall back on your memories. After arriving in Kathmandu, you can return to your hotel. How you spend the rest of the day is entirely up to you.
