Overview

The Everest Base Camp trek is one of the world’s most iconic trekking experiences, taking you deep into the heart of the Himalayas along historic mountain trails shaped by generations of Sherpa culture.

This all-inclusive guided trek follows the classic route through the Khumbu region, passing through traditional villages set beneath the towering peaks of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse, with time to explore Namche Bazaar at 3,440m / 11,286ft and visit the revered Thyangboche Monastery at 3,860m / 12,664ft, one of the most important spiritual sites in the region.

Unlike standard lodge-based Everest treks, this journey includes overnight stays in our private Eco-Comfort Camps, offering raised beds, thick mattresses, heated dining areas and clean toilet facilities, providing significantly greater comfort and warmth at altitude, particularly during colder months. The itinerary is carefully structured with a well-designed acclimatisation programme to support safe altitude gain, reducing the risk of altitude sickness and maximising your chances of successfully reaching Everest Base Camp at 5,364m / 17,598ft. A highlight of the trek is the ascent of Kala Pattar at 5,545m / 18,192ft, widely regarded as the best viewpoint for panoramic views of Mount Everest.

All meals are included and freshly prepared by a dedicated trekking kitchen team, with hot and cold treated drinking water provided daily throughout the trek. A high-quality gear pack is also included, featuring a sleeping bag, down jacket and souvenir kitbag, adding comfort, convenience and excellent value.

Led by our experienced local guides trained in wilderness first aid and supported by a professional crew, this trek combines safety, cultural immersion and responsible travel, offering a rewarding way to experience the majesty of the Himalayas for both first-time visitors to Nepal and seasoned high-altitude trekkers.

Itinerary

Expand all | Collapse all

You will be met at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport arrivals gate by a World Expeditions representative and transferred to the Radisson Hotel in a private vehicle. The remainder of the afternoon is at leisure to relax after your journey or explore the surrounding area at your own pace. A pre-trek briefing will be held at approximately 4:30–5:00 pm, where your guide will outline the journey ahead and organise the distribution of your trekking kit including your kit bag, sleeping bag and down or fibrefill jacket. This evening we gather for a welcome group dinner, providing a great opportunity to meet your fellow travellers before the adventure begins. Accommodation: Radisson Hotel Kathmandu

Meals: Nil

Depending on the season, today is either a free day to explore Kathmandu or a road journey to Ramechhap in preparation for your flight to Lukla. If remaining in Kathmandu, you may choose to visit historic temples and markets, explore UNESCO World Heritage sites, or simply relax before the trek begins. During peak trekking seasons, flights to Lukla operate from Manthali Airport in Ramechhap, requiring an approximately five-hour drive through rural countryside to position for an early morning departure. Your leader will confirm flight logistics and timings during the pre-trek briefing. Accommodation: Radisson Hotel, Kathmandu or Eco-Comfort Camp, Ramechhap Note: Domestic flights to and from Lukla may operate from Manthali Airport, Ramechhap during the spring and autumn trekking seasons (March to May and October to December). This is determined by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal and is subject to change.

Meals: B

This morning we transfer to the airport for our short but spectacular flight to the mountain airstrip at Lukla. This famous airstrip was originally built by Sir Edmund Hillary and his team to support his pioneering work establishing schools and hospitals for the Sherpa communities of the Everest region. The flight offers remarkable views of the eastern Himalaya, and on arrival we are immediately surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery. After meeting our trekking crew, we begin our walk descending toward the Dudh Kosi River. The name “Dudh” means milk, referring to the river’s distinctive pale colour as it rushes down from the glaciers high in the Himalaya. The trail is broad and well defined, winding past fields of potatoes and buckwheat, small Sherpa villages and lines of colourful dahlia trees. After an easy walk we reach Ghat, where we spend our first night in our comfortable private eco-camp in the Everest region. Accommodation: Eco-Comfort Camp Ghat

Meals: B,L,D

Today’s walk follows the Dudh Kosi Valley, gradually gaining altitude as we pass through a mix of pine forest and cultivated terraces where local farmers grow a variety of crops. Along the trail we encounter donkeys, yaks and dzopkyo (a yak–cow crossbreed) transporting goods and trekking equipment between villages. Shortly after leaving camp we cross the Kusum Khola, a tributary of the Dudh Kosi. From here we catch our first views of Kusum Kanguru (6,369 m / 20,896 ft) to the east. Further along the trail, across the valley to the northwest, the peaks of Nupla (5,885 m / 19,308 ft) and Kongde Ri (6,093 m / 19,990 ft) rise above forested ridges. At another bend in the trail, the impressive pyramid of Thamserku (6,808 m / 22,336 ft) towers dramatically above the valley. Today we also encounter our first Mani walls, sacred stone structures engraved with the Buddhist mantra “Om Mani Padme Hum”, meaning “Hail to the jewel in the lotus.” According to local tradition, these walls and nearby chortens should always be passed on the left side. By afternoon we reach our private eco-camp above Monjo, set in a peaceful location overlooking the valley. Accommodation: Eco-Comfort Camp Monjo

Meals: B,L,D

This morning we cross the striking turquoise waters of the Dudh Kosi River and enter Sagarmatha National Park, a protected UNESCO World Heritage area. The creation of the park was an important step toward reducing the use of firewood in the Everest region. Trekking groups are required to use kerosene for cooking, a sustainable practice we follow throughout Nepal. The trail follows the river valley through pine forest, crossing several suspension bridges before reaching the confluence of the Dudh Kosi and Bhote Kosi rivers. From here we cross a spectacular high suspension bridge before beginning the steady climb toward Namche Bazaar. The ascent winds through forested slopes until we reach a viewpoint where, on clear days, we catch our first glimpse of Mount Everest (8,848 m / 29,032 ft) along with surrounding Himalayan peaks. Continuing uphill, the trail leads us into Namche Bazaar, the vibrant Sherpa hub of the Khumbu region. The village is set in a natural amphitheatre with sweeping views across the valley toward Kongde Ri (6,187 m / 20,299 ft). After lunch there is time to explore the lively markets, browse Tibetan trader stalls, or relax and enjoy the mountain atmosphere. Accommodation: Lodge Namche Bazaar

Meals: B,L,D

The trail climbs steadily from Namche to Syangboche airstrip before following a scenic ridgeline toward the Everest View Hotel. Sweeping panoramas open up across Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku and Khangtega, offering one of the finest viewpoints of the trek. Continuing on, we visit Khumjung and Sir Edmund Hillary’s Schoolhouse in the Clouds, a landmark of the Himalayan Trust’s early work in the Khumbu. A gentle descent then brings us to our exclusive campsite at Kyangjuma, with a shorter acclimatisation option available directly from Namche for those adjusting to altitude. Accommodation: Eco-Comfort Camp Kyangjuma

Meals: B,L,D

One of the most spectacular days of the trek, today’s route begins with a gentle descent through rhododendron and pine forest to a suspension bridge crossing the Dudh Kosi River. A steady climb then leads up a long ridge flowing from the summit of Khangtega (6,782 m / 22,251 ft), where wildlife such as Himalayan thar, musk deer and the colourful danphe pheasant may sometimes be seen. A traditional gateway and chorten mark our arrival at Tengboche (3,860 m / 12,664 ft), the spiritual heart of the Khumbu. The monastery here offers iconic views of Everest (8,848 m / 29,032 ft) framed between Nuptse (7,861 m / 25,791 ft) and Lhotse (8,516 m / 27,940 ft), alongside the striking peak of Ama Dablam (6,812 m / 22,349 ft) and neighbouring Himalayan peaks. After descending to Deboche for lunch, we continue along the valley trail before making the final ascent to Pangboche, one of the oldest Sherpa villages in the region. Accommodation: Eco-Comfort Camp Pangboche

Meals: B,L,D

Today we follow the Imja Khola Valley, descending briefly before crossing a suspension bridge beneath sweeping views of Everest (8,848 m / 29,032 ft), Lhotse (8,516 m / 27,940 ft), Ama Dablam (6,812 m / 22,349 ft) and Nuptse (7,861 m / 25,791 ft). Beyond the village of Shomare, the trail climbs steadily above the treeline as the landscape becomes more open and rugged, dotted with high-altitude shrubs and stone walls that protect crops from the strong mountain winds. As we gain elevation, the sense of altitude becomes more noticeable and the valley widens dramatically. We arrive at Dingboche, set on a broad alpine plateau beneath the striking south face of Ama Dablam, one of the most beautiful mountains in the Himalaya. Accommodation: Eco-Comfort Camp Dingboche

Meals: B,L,D

Today is an important acclimatisation day, allowing the body time to adjust to the increasing altitude while remaining active. Optional walks lead to the ridge above the village or further up the Imja Valley toward Chukung, offering expansive views of Lhotse (8,516 m / 27,940 ft), Nuptse (7,861 m / 25,791 ft), Ama Dablam (6,812 m / 22,349 ft), Chukung Peak (5,550 m / 18,209 ft) and Imja Tse (6,189 m / 20,305 ft). From both the valley floor and surrounding ridgelines, vast Himalayan glaciers spill beneath towering cliffs rising more than 3,500 m, creating one of the most dramatic landscapes of the trek. The remainder of the day is spent resting, hydrating and preparing for the higher stages ahead. Accommodation: Eco-Comfort Camp Dingboche

Meals: B,L,D

As we continue gaining altitude, today’s trek is taken at a slow and steady pace across increasingly barren terrain above the treeline. The trail climbs past Dughla and onto the Dughla Ridge, before crossing glacial moraine toward the Khumbu Glacier. Throughout the day, expansive views unfold of Cholatse (6,440 m / 21,129 ft), Lobuche Peak (6,119 m / 20,075 ft), Pumori (7,161 m / 23,494 ft) and Nuptse (7,861 m / 25,791 ft). Along the route we pass a series of memorial cairns dedicated to climbers who lost their lives on Everest and neighbouring peaks, adding a powerful sense of place to this dramatic high mountain environment. Reaching Lobuche, the air becomes noticeably colder in this exposed setting. Sunset views of Nuptse from above the settlement are often a memorable highlight of the day. Accommodation: Lodge Lobuche Note: Accommodation in Lobuche is basic due to limited availability, and single supplements cannot be guaranteed during peak periods.

Meals: B,L,D

Today we trek alongside the Khumbu Glacier, following a rugged trail that winds across rocky moraine deep within the high glacial basin of the upper Khumbu. Surrounded by towering peaks and vast fields of ice, the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic as we approach the highest point of our journey. Reaching Gorak Shep, the final settlement on the route, we pause for an early lunch before continuing onward toward Everest Base Camp. The walk to Base Camp is one of the defining moments of the trek, placing us among the icefalls and glaciers beneath the world’s highest mountain. During the pre-monsoon climbing season, colourful expedition tents may be seen scattered across the glacier. After spending time at Everest Base Camp (5,360 m / 17,585 ft) and taking in the remarkable surroundings, we retrace our steps to Gorak Shep, where the thin air and stark alpine environment underscore the magnitude of the journey we have undertaken. Accommodation: Lodge Gorak Shep Note: Accommodation in Gorak Shep is very limited and basic due to its remote location, and single supplements cannot be guaranteed during peak periods.

Meals: B,L,D

We rise early for the ascent of Kala Pattar, a Hindi name meaning “black rock,” where dark slopes lead to one of the finest viewpoints in the Everest region. From the summit we enjoy extraordinary close-range views of Everest (8,848 m / 29,032 ft), with the Khumbu Glacier winding below toward the Icefall and Western Cwm, and many of the classic climbing routes visible across the vast glacial landscape. After descending from Kala Pattar, we retrace our steps past the memorial cairns honouring Sherpa climbers who lost their lives on Everest, before continuing down through Dughla and along the old lateral moraine. By afternoon we reach the sheltered village of Dingboche, set beneath the striking peak of Ama Dablam (6,812 m / 22,349 ft), with Imja Tse (6,189 m / 20,305 ft) rising at the head of the valley. If energy allows, there may be time for a gentle walk to a nearby ridge to enjoy sunset views over the surrounding peaks. Accommodation: Eco-Comfort Camp Dingboche

Meals: B,L,D

As we descend, there may be a temptation to rush, but today’s route rewards a steady pace with constantly changing scenery. We follow the Imja Khola before crossing the Pheriche River and stopping for lunch at Deboche, surrounded by forested slopes and the quiet atmosphere of the high mountains. After lunch, the trail climbs gently through rhododendron and birch forest to the spiritual centre of the Khumbu at Tengboche (3,860 m / 12,664 ft), where the monastery sits dramatically against a backdrop of Himalayan giants including Everest (8,848 m / 29,032 ft), Ama Dablam (6,812 m / 22,349 ft) and Lhotse (8,516 m / 27,940 ft). From here we continue along the scenic ridgeline toward Kyangjuma, arriving at camp with sweeping views across the Khumbu Valley. Accommodation: Eco-Comfort Camp Kyangjuma

Meals: B,L,D

If the weather is clear, we enjoy outstanding final views back toward the mountains as we pass once more through Namche Bazaar, with time to browse Tibetan shops or pause for a relaxed coffee in the Sherpa capital. Leaving Namche, the trail descends steadily through pine forest toward the Dudh Kosi River, crossing several suspension bridges along the way. The landscape feels familiar yet transformed, carrying the weight of everything we have experienced deeper in the Khumbu and high among the world’s greatest peaks. Continuing down the valley, we exit Sagarmatha National Park and arrive at Monjo, marking the final stages of our journey through the Everest region. Accommodation: Eco-Comfort Camp Monjo

Meals: B,L,D

We retrace our steps along the Dudh Kosi Valley, passing familiar villages, mani walls, and forested sections that now feel like old friends after our time in the high Khumbu. The trail undulates gently through the valley, with a final steady climb bringing us back to Lukla, where our trek first began. As we arrive, there is a strong sense of achievement after completing one of the world’s great mountain journeys. This evening provides an opportunity to celebrate together and thank our trekking crew and porters, many of whom will return to their home villages from here. Accommodation: Lodge Lukla

Meals: B,L,D

This morning we transfer to Lukla Airport for the spectacular flight back to Kathmandu. The short mountain flight offers memorable views of the Himalayan range as we leave the Everest region behind. Depending on seasonal flight operations, we either fly directly to Kathmandu (approx. 30–35 minutes) or fly to Manthali Airport in Ramechhap (approx. 20 minutes) followed by a scenic drive to Kathmandu (approx. 4–5 hours). Upon arrival in Kathmandu you will be transferred to the Radisson Hotel, where the remainder of the afternoon is free to relax, enjoy the hotel facilities, or explore the city and do some last-minute shopping or sightseeing. Accommodation: Radisson Hotel Kathmandu
