Is it better to book a tour to Base Camp in advance or to do it when in Kathmandu? How about the aclimatization time in Nepal? Probably a small group would be best? Can I just join one? What should one pack? And last and tricky question: Is it possible for a little extra maybe to go a bit higher than Base Camp ... like maybe just 300 or 500 m?

It is better to book in advance and get prepared yourself. You will have 3 to 6 people in a group and it is always nice to have small group. Sweet and best! Yes, you will be visiting at Kalapatthar (5500m) which is higher than Everest Base Camp.

how likely is it that the trip from KTM to Lukla and back will be the direct flight as opposed to the 5-6hour drive then flight, in early April 2023

As per Nepal Aviation Authority, all our Lukla flight will be from Ramechhap Airport instead of Kathmandu to avoid Air traffic and flight delayed. However, there may have still few flight going from Kathmandu at the early in the morning. Therefore we will look for those flights if possible if not we have to fly from Ramechhap which is about 3/4 hours drive from Kathmandu. For travelers, i would suggest to go to Ramechhap a day before their flight to Lukla. So that they can explore around Ramechhap as well.

We family of three signed up for the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek with Scenic Nepal. The experience exceeded our expectations. Dipendra from Scenic Nepal kept us updated months before the trekking. Our guide Binod had been excellent, looked after the family every step of the way during trekking and keeping my boy (12 year old) entertained at teahouses. I certainly would recommend Scenic Nepal if anyone plan to trek in Nepal.Show more

  Traveler•Written March 2023
  Maybe it would be better for aclimatization to do Bhutan and/or Tibet before doing the Everest! I've heard from a friend that he hiked unto just above 6000 m. That is not possible, is it?
- Scenic Nepal Treks & Expedition Pvt. LtdOperator•Written March 2023
  Altitude should be fine and it doesn't required any previous experience! You can direct come to Kathmandu and do this hike as itinerary we have prepared for you is technically good one!

  Is it worth spending more time in Nepal? How much would this package cost? And what should I bring (also clothing) and what is provided (tent, etc)?

  Is it rather recommended to do those 3 countries in November/December? Cause of weather? Is it nicer?
- Scenic Nepal Treks & Expedition Pvt. LtdOperator•Written April 2023
  November and December is the good times! At the end of Dec will be a bit cold but still good!

  But there is snow already in november, right?
- Scenic Nepal Treks & Expedition Pvt. LtdOperator•Written April 2023
  No, Nov is good time with Clear Sky! Snow will be expected from End Dec to middle April. But you need to have prepared with snowfall as well. Due to Global warming things have been changed!
