About this trip
This is the classic trek to Everest Base Camp: 15 days on foot through the Khumbu region, walking trails that wind through forests, Sherpa villages, and glacial moraines with the world's highest mountains as a backdrop.
It's a proper physical challenge rather than a gentle walk — you're climbing steadily at altitude over multiple days, with full trekking support and guides who know the route and the region.
Along the way there's real contact with Sherpa culture, not just mountain scenery, before the trail brings you to the base of Everest itself.
What you'll do
- Trek through Sherpa villages in the Khumbu region
- Walk beneath the Himalayas' highest peaks
- Cross glacial moraines and forested foothills
- Reach Everest Base Camp on foot
- Travel with a full trekking support team throughout
- This is a demanding, high-altitude trek — expect to break a sweat most days
- Fully guided with trekking support staff throughout
- A Christmas and New Year departure is available if you want to spend the holidays on the trail
Worth it if you're fit enough for high altitude and value experienced guides who prioritise safety. Think twice if you need flawless admin support or have tight budget flexibility.
- Guides consistently praised by name—Shankar, Dipak, Sanjaya, Tenjing—for safety focus and perfect pacing at altitude.
- Company sorted alternative accommodation when Lukla airport closed due to weather, no stranded travellers.
- Tour Radar's messaging support gave inaccurate information and didn't apply advertised credits correctly to bookings.
- The Good to Go app frustrated at least one traveller; admin platform could use refinement alongside the trek excellence.
