What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Mount Everest
- Everest Base Camp Luxury Lodge Trek
I had already traveled with Peregrine Treks and Tours on the Nepal Tibet Bhutan Tour, so I was happy to book with them again for the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek in April. Once again, they delivered an excellent experience from beginning to end. Pradip handled the booking and pre-trip coordination with great care and professionalism. Everything was clear, smooth, and well organized, which made the whole process easy and stress-free. During the trek, Nima was an exceptional guide. He looked after us wonderfully, paid close attention to our comfort and well-being, and made the trip feel safe, personal, and enjoyable throughout. The accommodation was top-notch and exceeded my expectations for the Everest region. Combined with the brilliant mountain views, every day felt special. This trek offered the perfect balance of comfort, service, and unforgettable Himalayan scenery. I highly recommend Peregrine Treks and Tours to anyone looking for a premium trekking experience in Nepal.
- 11 Days Short Everest Base Camp Trek
I recently returned from the Everest Base Camp trek, and I cannot recommend the experience enough—especially thanks to my incredible guide, Sengi. From the moment we met, Sengi’s warmth, knowledge, and passion for the mountains shone through. He went above and beyond to ensure not only my safety but also that I fully immersed myself in the beauty and culture of Nepal. Sengi’s knowledge of the terrain and local customs was remarkable, but what truly set him apart was his attention to detail and care for me on the trek. Whether it was checking on my altitude acclimatization or sharing stories about Sherpa culture, he made every day special. His genuine kindness and patience helped me push through the more challenging parts of the trek with confidence. Thanks to Sengi, I felt supported every step of the way on the trek and was able to fully appreciate the awe-inspiring beauty of Everest. If you're considering this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I highly recommend this agency, and especially Sengi as your guide!
Overall we had an absolutely brilliant time, it was the trek of a lifetime. The tea houses were surprisingly good, with great food selection. The guide, Mindu, was brilliant and looked after everything so we had nothing to worry about. He was knowledgable and taught us lots about culture and the surroundings. Sherpa Expedition Trekking/ Teams (both the same- it’s not obvious that they are) provided down coats and sleeping bags, which were in brilliant condition, rated to -20 and were certainly warm enough. In fact, the sleeping bag was too warm for the lower tea houses. They also provided great duffel bags. Note- if you book the tour through tour radar and not Sherpa directly, it’s worth leaving the porter booking for the time being and sort it directly with Sherpa to avoid any confusion on how many are needed/ prices etc. The only thing we had concerns about was we’d have liked more constant and consistent monitoring of our symptoms for altitude. Our blood oxygen saturation readings were taken when we requested it, but there were discrepancies between what the guide told us was an acceptable SATs reading, and what we found on published medical journals. So I’d encourage you to be vigilant about this, and if it doesn’t seem right, speak up. Overall, holiday of a life time- take the plunge and enjoy it! Best, Dan

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.
