I did everest base camp with this company. I really appreciate the support of the team crew and also to the mr. Khum for fulfill my dream. I highly recommend this company for your next adventure.
14 Day Everest Base Camp Trek
We were very lucky having the best guide with Lakpa Sherpa. in addition, Passng Sherpa hejped out too. Both were fantastic. they know the ins and outs of the treks, adjusted the route in our favor if needed. The porters (Pasang Lama, Nuru, Rangdu) were great too. we had so much fun with everybody. Everybody was always super positive and super helpful. You couldn‘t ask for more! If I go again for a Himalaya trek (which is very likely) I would 100% choose Sherpa Expeditions again and especially Lakpa and Passng as our guides!

What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Mount Everest
What is the best time of year to trek to Everest Base Camp?
The optimal periods for Everest Base Camp treks fall between March to May and October to November. During spring (March-May) the trails come alive with blooming rhododendrons while autumn (October-November) brings stable weather and clear mountain views. At the Everest View Hotel in Namche Bazaar temperatures range from 15-20°C (59-68°F) in these periods creating comfortable hiking conditions.
How physically demanding is the Everest Base Camp trek?
The trek requires solid physical preparation with daily hikes of 6-8 hours over 12-14 days at elevations from 2800m to 5545m. The route presents significant challenges such as the steep climb to Namche Bazaar (3440m) and navigation of the Khumbu Glacier near Base Camp. Guides recommend a minimum of 3-4 months of cardiovascular training before starting the trek to handle the demanding terrain and altitude changes.
What kind of accommodation can I expect during the trek?
Accommodation along the trail consists mainly of teahouses and lodges. Before departing places like Hotel Thamel Park in Kathmandu offer modern comforts. The teahouses provide twin rooms with shared dining spaces and bathrooms. Higher locations such as Gorak Shep (5164m) offer more basic lodging with communal facilities and minimal heating options.
What meals are included on Everest Base Camp treks?
Tour packages typically cover three daily meals blending Nepali Tibetan and Western cuisine. Morning starts with simple but filling options like porridge eggs and toast. Evening meals feature local staples such as dal bhat (rice and lentils) along with noodles and soups. The teahouses around Namche Bazaar are particularly known for their varied menu options though food costs tend to rise with elevation.
How are porters and luggage arrangements handled during the trek?
Tours generally assign one porter for every two trekkers with a 15kg per person limit. The Lukla flight restricts luggage to 10kg checked and 5kg carry-on. While porters handle main bags trekkers carry daypacks with essential items. Companies like G Adventures help arrange storage for extra belongings at Kathmandu hotels such as Hotel Marshyangdi.
What level of altitude sickness prevention is provided during the trek?
The trek includes strategic rest days for acclimatization particularly at Namche Bazaar (3440m) and Dingboche (4410m). Guides use oximeters to check oxygen levels and adjust hiking speeds as needed. Tour packages include medical support and evacuation services with guides trained to recognize and respond to altitude-related issues.
