Expertly Crafted for Adventure, Balanced for Comfort

At Namaste Nepal Trekking, we believe that the journey to the base of the world’s highest peak should be as rewarding as the destination itself. This Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek itinerary is the result of over two decades of Himalayan expertise and feedback from hundreds of successful trekkers.

Why This Itinerary Stands Out:

  • Optimal Acclimatization: Your safety is our absolute priority. We have strategically integrated “active rest and Acclimatization ” days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche to ensure your body adjusts naturally to the thinning air, significantly increasing your summit success rate.
  • The Perfect Balance: We have carefully designed this route for those who seek the raw thrill of high-altitude trekking without compromising on well-being. By balancing challenging trekking hours with quality rest in hand-picked, comfortable Guesthouses, we ensure you stay energized throughout the journey.
  • Unrivaled Expertise: Every step of this trek is backed by our deep local knowledge. From selecting the most scenic trails to timing our arrivals to avoid the largest crowds, our itinerary allows you to experience the Everest region’s spiritual and natural beauty in its purest form.
  • Elevated Experiences: Whether you are a seasoned mountain veteran or a first-time high-altitude explorer, this journey is crafted to elevate every moment. We don’t just lead you to Base Camp; we immerse you in Sherpa culture, ancient monasteries, and the unparalleled majesty of the Khumbu Valley.

Join us for a legendary adventure where logistics are seamless, safety is guaranteed, and the Himalayas are yours to discover.

On this 14 Days Everest Base Camp trek, all the ground transportation will be arranged by us. Airport pickup, hotel transfer and if required to reach Ramechhap aiport, we will provide you private vehicle.

For the Lukla flight, we will book your round-trip flight, and the flight cost will be included in the trekking package. The Lukla flight is weather-dependent, and during the peak trekking season, your flight will be transferred to the Manthali airport. It means you cannot get a direct flight from Kathmandu Airport. First, you need to reach Manthali airport by road, then take a flight to Lukla from Manthali airport. In peak season, flights are often crowded, ticket prices are higher, and seats are limited. So book the EBC trek package in advance to secure your Lukla flight without hassle.

In the off-season, winter and monsoon, you can get a direct flight from Kathmandu to Lukla airport. But the chances of flight delay and cancellation will be high. So if you are planning to do the EBC trek in the month of offseaon make sure to add extra buffer days for delays.

During your 14 Days Everset base camp trek, you will stay in the tea house. This tea house/mountain lodge is run by local Sherpa People. Inside the tea house, you will get a cozy room with twin sharing bed and amenities like a pillow, blanket, matress and bedsheet. Bathrooms are often shared among the travellers, and inside the bathroom, you will find just running water. To maintain hygiene during the trek, we suggest you bring the toiletpaper and hand sanitizer.

Even the room in the tea house will be cozy, it will be neat and comfy to stay. In the higher region of your room window, you can enjoy the panoramic view of mountain peaks. Every year, a new lodge/ tea house is added to provide facilities to trekkers. Due to the high number of travellers trekking in peak season, the rooms often get packed. So, to get the best available tea house in the Everest region during the EBC trek, we request that you book the trek in advance.

When you book the Everest base camp trek with us we will provide you three times free meal in the trek. You can choose the food items  from the tea house menu and enjoy the meal.

If you’ve booked the 14-day Everest Base Camp Trek but later decide to do the Manaslu Circuit Trek after research or advice, we can transfer your reservation, payment, and trekking crew. While there may be differences in services and budget, the switch is manageable.

Trekkers who want to skip the return trek to save time and energy and enjoy the aerial view by riding a luxury helicopter you can also do that. You can either take a direct helicopter flight from Gorakshep to Kathmandu airport or a helicopter ride from Gorakshep to Lukla, followed by a domestic flight from Lukla to Kathmandu.

For this helicopter arrangment you need to inform us in advance before making a booking. If you are in a group, it will be cheaper compared to a solo ride.

There are regular and scheduled flights to Lukla from Kathmandu and Manthali/Ramechhap. During the peak trekking seasons ( Autumn and Spring), the Lukla flights are operated from Manthali airport after 4-5-hours drive from Kathmandu to Manthali. But, during the low trekking seasons in Nepal ( Winter and Rainy), the Lukla flights are directly operated from Kathmandu. While returning back from Everest Base Camp Trek 14 Days, the same thing will be applied regarding Lukla flights. You will, first, fly to Manthali and drive back to Kathmandu in peak trekking seasons and will have a direct flight back to Kathmandu in low trekking seasons in Nepal.

Lukla Airport/Tenzing Hillary Airport is considered as one of the most dangerous airports of the world where trekkers fly either directly from Kathmandu or from Manthali after 5 hour’s drive. Lukla is the beginning point of every Everest Base Camp Trek. The weather at Lukla Airport is always unpredictable.

Actually, the weather condition of Lukla town and the Lukla airport is found switched in every 20 minutes. Due to which, the Lukla flights from Lukla and from Kathmandu are affected, postponed and even cancelled. The trekkers who are doing their Everest Base Camp Trek at the end are, sometimes have very unpleasant experiences due to flight cancellations and postponements.

If you have such kind of condition, please stay calm and patient and wait for the right and better weather condition for Lukla flights. Even if the weather in Kathmandu is fine, your flights to Lukla may get postponed or cancellable due to the poor weather conditions at Lukla airport.

There are some ways to escape the cancellation and postponements of Lukla flights by helicopter back to Manthali or Kathmandu and walking down to Surke/Paiya and take a jeep ride to Salleri and then to Kathmandu.

There are advanced hospitals in Kathmandu where you can get advanced care and coordinate international evacuations if needed.

In emergencies, our helicopter services provide rapid evacuation from key drop-off points (e.g., Lukla, Phakding, and Ghorakshep). This helicopter evacuation is high, so we request that all our clients have insurance that covers the cost of medical and evacuation.
