We were a family of three taking on the challenge of trekking to Everest Base Camp, and what an unforgettable journey it turned out to be — all thanks to Sherpa Expeditions, our incredible guide Phu Rinji, and our amazing porter Balaram. From day one, Phu Rinji made us feel like we were in the safest hands possible. With his calm presence, deep knowledge of the region, and genuine care, he guided us not just with his experience, but with his heart. As a family, it meant everything to know that someone was looking out for each of us — checking on our health, adjusting the pace when needed, and always encouraging us with kindness and patience. Balaram, our porter, was simply incredible. His strength, humility, and constant smile lit up every stop along the trail. He treated us like family, not clients. What truly touched our hearts was when they surprised us with fresh fruit — not just once, but several times during the trek. In such a remote and rugged environment, having a variety of fresh fruits was a luxury we didn’t expect — and it showed just how thoughtful and caring they both were. As we made our way through high altitudes and changing weather, we always felt safe. Every step was supported. Every concern was heard. They created a space where we could enjoy the beauty of the mountains and the strength of our family bond, without worry. Reaching Everest Base Camp as a family was emotional in itself, but sharing that moment with Phu Rinji and Balaram — who celebrated with us like old friends — made it even more special. Their happiness was sincere, and we’ll never forget that feeling. This wasn’t just a trek — it was a journey of trust, care, and deep connection. We are so grateful for everything they did to make this experience safe, comfortable, and unforgettable. If you are planning to trek as a family — especially to Everest Base Camp — we wholeheartedly recommend Phu Rinji and Balaram. They are not only professionals, they are kind, genuine people who will treat you like their own. Thank you, Phu Rinji and Balaram, from our whole family. You’ve given us memories that will last a lifetime.

A Journey of a Lifetime - Everest Base Camp Trek with Sherpa Expedition Guide Lakpa Embarking on the Everest Base Camp trek with Sherpa Expedition Guide Lakpa was a decision that I will forever be grateful for. From the moment I met Lakpa at the start of our journey, I knew that I was in the hands of a true professional and a kindred spirit of the mountains. His wealth of experience, deep-rooted connection to the local Sherpa culture, and unwavering commitment to ensuring our safety and enjoyment made all the difference in turning this trek into a life-changing experience. The trek itself was a test of endurance, resilience, and sheer beauty. The rugged terrain, high altitudes, and ever-changing landscapes presented both physical and mental challenges, but with Lakpa's guidance and support, every step felt like a victory. His calm demeanor, wealth of knowledge about the region, and knack for storytelling kept us engaged and inspired throughout the journey. Reaching Everest Base Camp was a moment that will forever be etched in my memory. Standing in the shadow of Mount Everest, surrounded by the grandeur of the Himalayas and the spirit of fellow trekkers, was a surreal and awe-inspiring experience. Lakpa's presence and leadership added a sense of security and camaraderie to the group, making the achievement even more special and meaningful. Lakpa's attention to detail and commitment to our well-being were evident in every aspect of the trek. From ensuring our safety on challenging trails to arranging comfortable accommodations and delicious meals, he took care of every detail with precision and care. His genuine passion for the mountains and the local culture shone through in every interaction, enriching our experience and deepening our appreciation for the region. In conclusion, trekking to Everest Base Camp with Sherpa Expedition Guide Lakpa was a journey of a lifetime. The beauty of the Himalayas, the warmth of the Sherpa hospitality, and Lakpa's expert guidance and unwavering support made this adventure truly unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend Sherpa Expedition Guide Lakpa to anyone seeking to explore the wonders of the Everest region with a guide who embodies professionalism, passion, and a true love for the mountains.

In May, two friends and I set out on an incredible adventure to Everest Base Camp. We chose to go with Nepal Hiking Team based on their great reviews—and they absolutely lived up to the hype. From the very beginning, communication was clear and professional, giving us confidence and peace of mind. Our guide, Ganga Tamang, even spoke quite a bit of Dutch—helemaal goed! It was immediately clear that he was highly experienced and knew exactly what he was doing. That level of expertise was not only reassuring, but it also gave all of us the trust and motivation we needed to reach our goal. Ganga shared fascinating stories and insights about the region, the trek, and Nepal in general, which really enriched the experience. Alongside him were our fantastic assistant guides, Tek and Indra, who were always ready to help and made the journey even more memorable. A special shoutout to the true superheroes of the trek—Dipesh, Sete, Sunil, and Bindra. Their strength, support, and positive energy were unmatched. In short, it was an amazing trip and an unforgettable experience—one I will cherish forever. A huge thank-you to Master Ganga and his entire team for making it a 100% Mission Complete!

Best time to visit Everest Base Camp
- 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.

March through May brings perfect trekking weather and rhododendrons that turn the lower valleys into a riot of color. We run several different tour styles that work great this time of year - from classic tea house treks to upscale lodge stays. The 14-day routes are quite popular since they include solid acclimatization stops in Namche Bazaar and also Dingboche. You'll share the paths through Sagarmatha National Park with trekkers from everywhere, plus climbing teams heading to higher camps. Our guides love spring tours; those clear mornings make Kala Patthar's sunrise views absolutely remarkable.

Monsoon season needs careful planning but delivers unique trekking experiences. Our summer routes build in rain-day buffers and backup trail options for flexibility. Guides Kamal and Nawin have mastered the art of reading weather patterns to make the most of clear periods. While some folks worry about monsoon trekking, our customers often tell us they love seeing the valleys so green, dramatic cloud formations and also fewer people on the trails. We keep these groups smaller and pack extra weather contingencies into the schedule.

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. Travelers consistently praise guides Rudra and Lakpa for sharing cultural insights and setting just the right pace. 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. They're particularly good at keeping everything organized while still being flexible when needed. For those watching their budget, Eco Holidays Nepal delivers great value without cutting corners. Their guides Keshab and also Sagar know the routes inside out and are always ready to help - our travelers often mention how they go above and beyond. Mount Adventure Holidays, led by Pasang Sherpa, is perfect if you want a more personal touch. Solo travelers especially appreciate how they're treated like part of the family, with Pasang taking time to understand exactly what each person needs from their trek. Each of these companies has its own approach, but they all share a solid reputation for safety and reliability on the trail to Base Camp. The guides mentioned are all experienced with the route and understand how to help trekkers adjust to the altitude.

What Permits Will I Need for the Trek?
You'll need two main permits to trek to Base Camp the Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit. Most good trekking companies sort these out for you - just check if they're included in your package price. For example Sherpa Expedition's Base Camp package includes a pre-trek meeting where they go through all the permit details so you know exactly what's covered.
What's the Best Way to Get Around the Everest Region?
Flying is your main way in with most treks starting from Lukla's Tenzing-Hillary Airport. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla takes about 35 minutes and gives you amazing mountain views. Once you're there it's all about walking the trails and you'll see lots of yaks and donkeys carrying supplies which is pretty cool. Most people on the 12-day Base Camp Trek fly into Lukla and they really love that scenic mountain flight.
Are There Any Cool Alternative Routes Worth Checking Out?
The Gokyo Lakes route is fantastic if you want something different from the usual Base Camp trek. You get to see these incredible turquoise lakes plus views of four massive peaks Everest Cho Oyu Lhotse and Makalu all over 8000 meters. Lots of trekkers add the Cho La Pass and Gokyo Lakes to their trip and they're always glad they did. One trekker on the 12-day route said the detour was totally worth it for the amazing views and quiet trails around the lakes.
