About this trip
A 12-day trek to Everest Base Camp, guided throughout by Sherpa guides, taking you from Kathmandu into the heart of the Khumbu region on foot.
The route climbs steadily through Sherpa villages and national park terrain, with rest days built in so your body can adjust to the altitude before you reach base camp itself.
It's a serious, fully guided trek rather than a wander — expect long days on the trail, high altitude, and a genuine sense of achievement standing beneath Everest.
What you'll do
- Reach Everest Base Camp at 5,364m
- Walk through Sherpa villages including Namche Bazaar, Khumjung and Dingboche
- Cross suspension bridges over the Dudh Kosi River
- Visit Tengboche Monastery
- Trek through Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- See Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam from the trail
- High-altitude trekking with built-in acclimatisation days in places like Namche Bazaar
- Suited to both first-time Himalayan trekkers and experienced hikers, but demands a good level of fitness
- Fully guided throughout, from arrival in Kathmandu to departure
