Everest Base Camp Tours & Trips
Imagine trekking through Sherpa villages where the hospitality's incredible, crossing high Himalayan passes, and standing at Everest Base Camp beneath the world's highest peak. Tengboche Monastery's morning prayers, mountain views, and the sunrise from Kalapatthar makes every early wake-up worth it. The Himalayas don't mess around - they're truly magnificent.

The trek was amazing! Because it was just me and one guide, we had some flexibility. Coming back down from base camp I was feeling slower than expected so we added an extra day to my trek. I recommend future trekkers to take extra time going down if you're like me and want to take it easy and see a lot, instead of rush (the itinerary for coming back from base camp doubles the distance some days, which I understand some people need in order to finish their trip in a timely manner). Just make sure there is communication between the guide and porter so if you need to shorten a day, that you have your things too. My guide (Furinji) was excellent, full of information and good advice for helping with acclimation. I highly recommend him as your guide! The acclimation hikes were very helpful on the way up. One other thing, though, it was suggested that I bring a 40L day pack but I think 30L would have been fine since I had a porter. I would definitely do this trek again!

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.
