Overview
Everest Base Camp Trek is a classic trekking adventure in the foothills of the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest. Trudging along the rugged trails of the Himalayas, decorated with mountains and landscapes, this trek is undoubtedly one of the best walks on earth.
Regarded as the most popular trek in Nepal, Everest Base Camp Trek extends for 15 days. Along the way, you’ll get to marvel at some of the world’s highest massifs, including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Cho Oyu, Pumori, Nuptse, and Makalu. Not only that, but this trek combines the glorious glimpses of the Himalayas with the iconic culture of the Sherpas. You’ll also get to witness their rustic lifestyle and a taste of their famed hospitality.
The journey to Everest Base Camp begins with one of the most unforgettable flights from Kathmandu to the airstrip of Lukla. You’ll walk through several Sherpa settlements, including Namche, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Gorak Shep, before reaching the base of the world’s highest mountain. The entire trail of the EBC Trek is adorned with breathtaking sceneries, ancient monasteries, prosperous villages, chortens, prayer flags, and mani walls.
In the villages of the Everest region, you will encounter the day-to-day lifestyle of the Sherpa tribes and their practices of Tibetan Buddhism. The trek also combines the spiritual experience as you will be visiting the ancient monasteries of Khumjung and Tengboche.
Moreover, this trek also takes you to the world’s most famous viewpoint, Kala Patthar. At an elevation of 5,643 meters, Kala Patthar marks as the highest landmark of the trek. From the summit, you get to relish a 360-degree panorama of the mountains, including Mt. Everest, Pumori, Lingtren, Nuptse, and Changtse. Also, you will get the opportunity to witness the most epic sunrise of your lifetime emerging over the high Himalayas.

Is Everest Base Camp Trek Right For You?
- Everest Base Camp Trek is not a luxurious holiday package. It demands both physical as well as mental preparedness. Therefore, if you have prior hiking experience in the mountains or hilly terrains, you’ll be able to complete this trek.
- In the EBC Trek, you will have to walk for about five to six hours every single day. So, if you think you’ll be able to take on the challenge for almost two weeks, you’ll be able to pull this through. It is advisable to go for small hikes and engage in cardio-related activities to train for the trek.
- Each day, you’ll be gaining about 300 to 700 meters elevation in this trek. Make sure your body and mind can cope with the increasing altitude. If you do not have prior trekking experience, it is recommended to go on a lower altitude trek before this adventure.
- During the trek, you will be spending your nights at the local tea houses that offer basic facilities only. The rooms are not comfortable and luxurious, like the hotels around the city area. However, they are relatively clean, cozy, and comfortable.
- The weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, especially in the upper reaches of the trek. In worse scenarios, you might have to go through cold weather and snowy conditions on the higher altitudes. Make sure you can cope with such challenges. Additionally, we recommend you pack layers and weather protection, even if you’re trekking in the summer season.

Since you’ll be leaving for the trek early next morning, it is advisable to pack your bags and ready your gears before you go to sleep on this night. It helps to avoid the last-minute hassle in the morning.

Special Note:
The weather in Lukla is highly unpredictable. The small airstrip, located on top of a hill with mountains surrounding on three sides, is widely known for terrible weather, which impacts the regular flight schedules. The flights, in such circumstances, may likely be delayed or even canceled in worst cases.
On this day, you will walk through the pine forest, rustic villages, and occasional yak pastures. Once you leave Phakding, you will continue walking through the narrow trail alongside the Dudh Koshi River. Along the route, you’ll walk past several Sherpa villages, including Benkar and Chumoa, and cross a couple of suspension bridges to reach the entrance gate of Sagarmatha National Park at Monjo.
After entering the national park, the trail heads uphill toward the village of Jorsalle. You’ll continue walking as the first glimpse of Kusum Kanguru, Thamserku, Everest, and Nuptse unfolds on the backdrop.
The trail further leads to a steep climb from Jorsalle to reach the colorful village of Namche Bazaar.

You’ll have a much-needed acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar. It is significant to have a leisure day to acclimatize with the increasing elevation and minimize the possibilities of altitude sickness.
On this day, you’ll hike to the beautiful village of Khumjung to keep your feet moving. You’ll get to visit the ancient monastery of the village and a local school built by Sir Edmund Hillary. On the way back, you’ll be visiting the Everest View Hotel, one of the highest luxurious hotels in the world.

After the acclimatization day, you’ll continue the trek on a relatively pleasant trail through the dense forest. With the marvelous view of mountains on the backdrop, you’ll traverse through the hillside above the Dudh Koshi River towards Phungithanga.
Once you walk past Phungithanga, the pleasant trail suddenly transforms into a more challenging uphill. The trail passes through an occasional water-powered prayer wheel and continues along the dense rhododendron forest to Tengboche.
Tengboche is a small village scattered in a grassy saddle under the shades of a crescent-shaped ridge. It is home to Khumbu’s largest Buddhist monastery.

After breakfast, you will head northwards from Tengboche and cross the small suspension bridge over the Dudh Koshi River. You’ll continue the walk on a narrow path towards Orsho and take the lower route towards the western bank of Imja Khola. The trail is mostly surrounded by rhododendron, birch and conifer trees. Furthermore, you’ll walk past several small villages, mani walls, and well-decorated chortens before reaching the overnight destination at Dingboche.
At an elevation of 4,410 meters, Dingboche is the highest Sherpa settlement in the entire Khumbu region. The village is enclosed by stone walls to protect the crop fields. From Dingboche, the view of Ama Dablam is just a stone throw away.

To cope with the high elevation and thin air, you’ll have another important acclimatization day at Dingboche. To keep up with the momentum, you’ll be going for a short hike to a nearby hill from the village.
You’ll be going for a 400-meter climb to Nangkartshang Peak located towards the northern ridge of the village. It takes around two hours of steep ascent from the heart of Dingboche to reach the summit of the Nangkartshang Peak.

Special Note:
Never skip the acclimatization day! It is crucial to take a day off not only to ease the sore muscles but also to cope with the thin air before heading to even higher altitudes. Also, if you do not physically fit, we recommend you inform your trekking guide as soon as possible and take a proper rest instead of hiking.
You’ll begin the day with a gradual climb towards the valley of Pheriche. As you continue walking along with the alpine scrub and yak pastures, you’ll reach the Trekkers Aid Post at the valley. Up above, you’ll witness the soaring sight of Ama Dablam, Taboche, and Cholatse.
As you walk further ahead from Pheriche, the trail becomes more strenuous with steep climbs over the moraine of Khumbu Glacier. Upon climbing the ridge, you’ll arrive at Thukla Pass decorated with prayer flags and stone shrines in the name of climbers who lost their lives in the mountain. After crossing the pass, you’ll continue walking through the grassy valleys and rocky terrains to reach your overnight destination at Lobuche.
This tiny settlement is located in a narrow meadow between the towing Lobuche Peak and Khumbu Glacier. You’ll relish a marvelous sight of Nuptse and Taboche soaring above the settlement. In the evening, you will walk up to the narrow gap of mountain walls and moraine to take a glance at the Khumbu Glacier.

Kala Patthar is one of the most prominent viewpoints of the Everest region. Although it does not cover a considerable distance, the route to the summit of this landmark is fairly steep and rocky.
Upon reaching the top of the viewpoint, you will get to witness one of the most beautiful sunrises over the Himalayas. Here, you’ll be surrounded by a 360-degree panorama of huge massifs, including Mt. Everest, Mt. Pumori, Lingtren, Khumbetse, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku and so forth.
After spending a brief spell on the top, you’ll retrace the path back to Gorak Shep and descend towards Lobuche. You’ll continue the walk along rough and rugged trails over moraine until Thukla Pass.

On this day, you will leave the Himalayas behind and backtrack your route to Tengboche. You’ll begin the trek after breakfast on a relatively easy route compared to the last few days. Although the walk is pleasant most of the day, note that you’ll need to tackle a few strenuous uphill on the way.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Like any other trekking destination of Nepal, the most favorable time to trek to Everest Base Camp is during spring and autumn. It is because, during these seasons, the sky tends to stay consistent and clear, offering a spectacular view of the mountains. Moreover, the weather also remains moderate during this time of the year, which is ideal for long-day trekking.
Everest Base Camp Trek (EBC Trek) is considered a strenuous trek. However, there are no technical routes or climbs on this trek. The route to the base camp is not paved and is likely to get rough, rocky, and gravel-strewn most of the time.
Additionally, the EBC Trek is two-week-long, where you will have to walk for about 5 to 6 hours every day on average. Therefore, those who have a weak ankle needs to be careful in every step.
Also, depending upon the season, the trail might be covered in ice and snow, which is going to be much more challenging than a regular trail. But, if you’re already an avid trekker, this should not be much of a challenge for you. Even for a first-timer, this trek is achievable if you make proper preparation prior to departure.
The tea houses on the trail provide safe drinking water. But, we do not recommend you to drink the water from local streams or natural sources. Make sure to carry a water bottle and ask your guide to fill the water in the teahouse. Also, it is better to carry water purifiers and tablets to treat the water for safety.
Frankly speaking, the risk of acute mountain sickness differs from person to person. Since you’ll be walking up to 5,643m at Kala Patthar, the risk factor will be present. However, our packages for Everest Base Camp are thoughtfully designed with proper acclimatization days to reduce the chances of altitude sickness.
In addition to that, all our guides are certified first-aid responders who will effectively monitor you and help you, if any symptoms are seen.
It is recommended to trek at a slow and steady pace, instead of rushing to reach your destination. Most importantly, stay hydrated and drink as many fluids as possible to reduce the risk of AMS.
Everest Base Camp Trek is a classic teahouse trek. Like most trekking destinations in the Khumbu region, most teahouses in Everest Base Camp Trek are relatively well-managed and comfortable. To be honest, there is a wide range of options when it comes to accommodation in the Everest region — from relatively cheaper lodges with basic amenities to deluxe quality hotels.
You will be accommodated in deluxe quality teahouses in every overnight stop. Although they are not likely to be as luxurious as the star hotels in the city areas, they will provide all the necessary amenities such as cozy rooms, delicious food, WiFi, charging facilities, and hot shower facilities.
The teahouses of Everest Base Camp serve both Nepali as well as western cuisines. Dal Bhat is by far the most preferred meal while trekking in the Himalayas. However, we serve a different menu each day as per your preference.
Here’s the list of foods on the menu of Everest Base Camp Trek:
Breakfast: Black tea, milk tea, coffee, porridge, toast with spreads, grain cereal, and eggs (served fried, omelet or boiled), boiled water
Lunch: Chapatis, juice, canned tuna, and meats, fresh fruits, potatoes, cheese and gherkins, vegetables, Dal Bhat, momo, chowmein, pizza, boiled water
Dinner: Dal Bhat, fried rice, soup, spaghetti, steamed vegetables, pizza, fresh apples, salad, tea
Yes! Almost every lodge and teahouse provides a hot shower facility in the Everest region. Most of them are gas or solar-powered. However, in a few places, especially in the upper reaches of the trek, you might have to make do with the bucket bath.
Bear in mind. The teahouses will charge you an additional amount for hot shower facilities, which is not included in the package
Yes, most lodges and teahouses in the Everest region do provide WiFi services. However, the teahouse owner will charge you an additional amount for the WiFi service. It is also important to remember that WiFi connection in the mountains does not tend to be as reliable as they usually are in the cities.
If you want to stay connected with your friend and family while trekking to Everest Base Camp, we suggest you buy Everest Link WiFi. It is a wireless internet service, which is accessible in most parts of the Khumbu region. Bear in mind that you can only buy them in the villages above Namche Bazaar. Everest Link is a considerably cheap and reliable internet service compared to regular WiFi services in the Khumbu region.
Yes, most teahouses in the Everest region do provide charging facilities. However, since they are solar-powered, the charging stations are available only for small electronic devices, such as mobile phones, portable chargers, cameras, and battery packs.
Bear in mind that charging facilities comes at an additional cost. Depending upon the teahouses, it ranges from Rs. 200 to 600. In general, the cost of charging increases as you go higher from lower reaches to the upper part of the Himalayas.
Yes! Whether you are an experienced trekker or a novice traveler, you must train well before heading to Everest Base Camp. Since you’ll be walking through rough and rocky trails for two weeks, we recommend you engage in cardio-oriented activities at least a month prior to the trek.
Prepare yourself and maintain your physical fitness with activities like swimming, hiking, cycling, and jogging. To get familiar with the rugged routes, we advise you to go hiking nearby your homes.
Everest Base Camp Trek is graded as a strenuous walk in the foothills of Everest. However, with proper training and physical fitness, this trek is doable, even for first-time trekkers.
