Everest Base Camp

Fly into Lukla and walk through Namche and Tengboche to the foot of the world's highest mountain.

We're a Pokhara company, and we run EBC with the same guides and the same pacing as everything else we do. You fly to Lukla, climb through Sherpa country and stand on Kala Patthar for the sunrise on Everest itself. The two acclimatization days aren't optional, and your guide checks your oxygen saturation every evening. We also keep a buffer day at the end in case weather holds up the flight out of Lukla.

  • Kala Patthar sunrise (5,545 m) over Everest
  • Namche Bazaar & Tengboche monastery

Questions before you book

How fit do I need to be?

Fitter than for ABC, mostly because the trek is longer and higher, not because any of it is harder. If you can walk six hours a day for two weeks and you've been to 3,000 m before without trouble, you're in the right range. Nothing on the route is technical.

What are the odds my Lukla flight is cancelled?

High enough that you should plan for it. Cancellations of a day or more are common in every season, so build the whole trip around that, starting with the spare days at the end.

How much can I take on the Lukla flight?

Fifteen kilos in total, made up of 10 kg in the hold and 5 kg of hand luggage. It all gets weighed, excess is charged by the kilo, and on a busy day it can be refused outright instead of charged. A duffel and a daypack fit inside that comfortably. A suitcase doesn't, so leave it at your hotel in Kathmandu. Our porters carry 9 kg per trekker on the trail, so the flight limit is the tighter of the two and the one to pack to.

Can I fly back by helicopter?

Yes, and many people do, either as a planned upgrade or because the flights have stacked up. It's expensive, and it depends on the weather too. We can arrange it, and the price we quote is the full cost.

Is it right for my fitness?

Everest Base Camp is graded Strenuous and tops out at 5,545 m. In our Trek Finder it comes up for walkers who pick “Experienced multi-day trekker” or a harder answer, and “Passes & base camps welcome” on altitude. Tell us how much walking you’ve done and we’ll tell you whether it fits.

Is it a private trip?

Yes, it’s private, for 1 to 12 people.

Do I pay anything online?

No. You send your dates and pay nothing now. We check guide and permit availability, then reply on WhatsApp or by email with your day-by-day plan and a confirmed price, usually within a few hours, always within a day.

When do I pay?

Nothing until you’re happy. We agree the deposit together, and you pay the balance in Pokhara.

Can I change my dates?

Free date changes up to 15 days before departure.

What if you cancel for weather?

Full refund if we cancel for weather or safety.
