Sherpa Expeditions took care of every detail and they were there for the entire adventure. They greeted me at the airport upon arrival and were still helping me after I arrived for departure and hit some travel issues because of Covid. The tour was amazing! My guide, Lapkah was super knowledgeable and knew how to help me pace myself to reach EBC. The food was fresh from the garden and any supplies you missed they have for you to borrow.If you are looking to do EBC I would HIGHLY recommend Sherpa Expeditions. It was the adventure of a lifetime!!!!

It was a good experience with nice people.
Travel Everest Base Camp your way
The trek to Everest Base Camp takes 12-14 days, which gives your body the right time to handle the altitude changes. Our travelers really connect with the stop at Tengboche Monastery - you can join the morning prayers and get a real feel for Buddhist life in the mountains. If you're after some technical climbing, we've got a route that adds Island Peak to the journey. The guides Ram and Lakpa keep a close eye on everyone's oxygen levels and set a pace that works for the group. At night, you'll stay in tea houses which our customers love; they serve hot meals and you'll meet other trekkers from across the globe sharing stories about their day on the trail.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursBeyond the regular trek, we've got some extra challenges built into special Base Camp routes. One takes you up Nangkartshang Hill where you'll see six different peaks all towering above 6,000 meters. Another option lets you fly by helicopter from Gorakshep to Lukla - it's amazing to look down at the path you've just walked. Our guides Peshal and Temba know exactly how to lead groups through the tricky parts of Khumbu Glacier, and our travelers often mention how much they appreciate their expertise. These tours include extra days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche which serves two purposes: you get time to explore the high-altitude Sherpa villages and your body adjusts better to the elevation.
See all Active toursOur top-rated Everest expedition takes you through Sagarmatha National Park for 7 fascinating days along the friendship highway connecting Lhasa to Kathmandu. Our guide Luosang really shines here - travelers love how he shares his deep knowledge of Buddhism and local monastery life. The journey mixes ancient sites like Drepung Monastery and Potala Palace with local experiences on Barkhor Street before culminating in an unforgettable Everest sunrise. You'll make stops at Yamdrok Lake and spend proper time adjusting to elevation changes. What makes this route special is how it weaves Tibet's rich heritage with the increasingly dramatic mountain landscapes as you near the Nepal border.

"Really great experience! Dawa Sherpa and Dorje were both incredible and we would not have made it without them. The weather did mean we were delayed 4 days in starting the trek but Ram did his best to help us. The scenery and the history were absolutely beautiful and the accommodation including the food were absolutely better than expected. We made friends for life with others on the tour and would absolutely recommend this trek to anyone.

"The Everest Base Camp Trek with Sherpa Expedition was a remarkable adventure that surpassed all my expectations. The blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and expert guidance made this trek an experience I will cherish forever. Organizational Excellence: From the initial contact with Sherpa Expedition, it was clear that this was a well-organized operation. Their pre-trek briefing was detailed and informative, covering everything from the physical demands of the trek to the cultural nuances of the region. This level of preparation was crucial for ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Guides and Support Team: Our guides, led by the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly Lakpa, were instrumental in making the trek successful. Lakpa’s deep understanding of the terrain, weather conditions, and altitude management was invaluable. He and his team provided constant encouragement and support, ensuring that every member of the group was comfortable and well-informed. Trekking Highlights: The trek itself was a series of unforgettable experiences. Starting from Lukla, we were treated to stunning views of the Himalayas, and each day brought new sights and challenges. The trek took us through charming villages, dense forests, and across high-altitude meadows. The acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche were particularly well-planned, allowing us to adjust to the altitude and explore the local surroundings. Cultural Insights: One of the most enriching aspects of the trek was the opportunity to engage with Sherpa culture. Our guides shared fascinating stories about their traditions, and we had the chance to visit ancient monasteries and witness local customs. These cultural experiences added a meaningful dimension to the trek, making it more than just a physical journey. Teahouses and Cuisine: The teahouses we stayed in were comfortable and provided a welcoming retreat after long days of trekking. The meals, prepared with care and attention, were a highlight of the journey. I particularly enjoyed the variety of dishes, from traditional Nepali meals to international options, all served with a smile. The Base Camp Experience: Arriving at Everest Base Camp was the culmination of the trek and an experience I will never forget. Standing at the foot of the world’s highest peak and taking in the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains was a powerful moment. The sense of achievement and the beauty of the landscape made the entire trek worthwhile. Safety and Comfort: Sherpa Expedition’s commitment to safety was evident throughout the trek. The guides were attentive to our health and well-being, and their proactive approach to acclimatization and altitude sickness ensured that we were well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

Discover Everest Base Camp tours for every budget
The Base Camp budget treks hit the sweet spot for many travelers, running 10-14 days with all the essentials covered. You'll stay in simple but welcoming tea houses, share tasty local meals and trek with guides who've mastered the art of proper pacing. The shorter 10-day routes are particularly popular since they still take in Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery and also Kala Patthar. Even with the condensed timeline, guides build in crucial acclimatization days. The shared spaces in tea houses add an authentic touch, with many travelers telling us they enjoy swapping stories with other trekkers while keeping their costs down.
For extra comfort, our luxury lodge treks upgrade the experience with stays at Yeti Mountain Home properties that offer real beds, hot showers and excellent dining. These premium tours include helicopter flights back from Gorakshep or Kala Patthar instead of the long walk down. The lodges provide a cozy retreat after each day's trek, with big windows facing the mountains, comfortable dining spaces and attentive staff who look after all the details. Your guides are experienced mountaineers who love sharing their knowledge about local geology, culture and also climbing history.

Late September through November offers the most reliable trekking conditions with stable weather and great visibility. Our 12-day circuits fill up fast, especially ones that spend extra time in Sherpa villages like Khumjung and also Pangboche.

The air gets incredibly clear after monsoon season, showing off endless mountain views while keeping temperatures just right for walking. You'll find tea houses and lodges full of energy as trekkers swap stories over warm food and hot drinks. If you're looking to trek to Everest Base Camp, I can suggest some really solid companies based on what our travelers tell us. For luxury and comfort, Peregrine Treks stands out - they've got excellent guides like Chetup, Dawa and also Kamal who take care of all the details. Their accommodation choices are top-notch and the food gets consistently high marks. Sherpa Expedition & Trekking runs a tight ship with guides Furienji Sherpa, Lapkah and also Pasang.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter brings a different side of Everest Base Camp with way fewer people on the trails and really clear mountain views. Our luxury lodges become extra appealing these months - there's nothing like proper heating and hot showers after a cold day of trekking. Getting back by helicopter makes good sense in winter too, letting you skip what can be tricky descents. Our customers often mention guides Mingma and Sujal by name; they've got winter trekking down to a science, from picking the best walking times to helping folks adjust to altitude in cold conditions. We make sure everyone gets proper gear advice and extra safety briefings in Kathmandu before heading up.
