What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Mount Everest
- Everest Base Camp & Kala Patthar Trek-14 Days
Excellent tour to Everest Base Camp with Adventure Himalayan Travels & Treks. We were well cared since arrival to Kathmandu airport. Rana was waiting for us and made sure we had all necessary information. Next day he saved our schedule by organizing helicopter ride to Lukla (there were no flights due to bad weather) for reasonable extra change. In Lukla we were met by our excellent guide Mon and porter Dhon. Guide had organized everything, so all we needed to do was to concentrate on walking and admiring beautiful scenery. After 4 days of continuous rain the sky finally cleared up and the rest of the trek we enjoyed in beautiful sunshine. Overall I really liked that it was very clear, what was included and what was excluded. Costs were showed transparently. Mon is honest and can be fully trusted, which I found very important. We also had many interesting discussions about living in Khumbu valley and other topics. Mon knew all the mountains and could tell lots of interesting information. But what comes to altitude sickness, you should find out the key information regarding symptoms, medicin etc. before travelling by yourself and not just count on the guide and his knowledge. Do not try to run after guide, but rather walk at your own pace without running out of breath. Guide will not leave you alone, but waits if needed. Overall I warmly recommend Adventure Himalayan Travels & Treks, its director Rana and our guide Mon as well as porter Dhon for trekking in Himalayas. They all made our dreams come true and did their best to make sure we had great holiday. We truly did. Thank you!
- Short Everest Base Camp Trek
Peregrine Treks was incredible. Nima, our tour guide, was fantastic; he kept us informed and showed us all the attractions. Very well organized, and I'm glad I had such a wonderful time.
- Everest Base Camp Trek in Comfort
Both the guide Dorji Nima Sherpa & the porter Dawa Pasang were great. They made our trip memorable. Their pace was slow and steady ensuring we made it safely to our destination. We thoroughly enjoyed the trek and we were blessed with very good weather. I would recommend this company - Pradip was very easy to deal with and replied immediately when contacted. We are very satisfied customers. Garry & Michele. IRELAND.
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.
