The Everest Base Camp Trek is a 5-day adventure trek located in the Khumbu region of Nepal that provides a spectacular view of the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest (8,848 m), alongside the other magnificent giants in the Himalayan range: Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam. This is a short walk based on a combination of natural tracks, suspension bridges and Sherpa villages, allowing the trekkers to experience a flavour of high-altitude trekking without having to commit themselves to a more extensive journey.
During the trek, trekkers also get to witness the traditional Sherpa culture in places such as Namche Bazaar, Tengboche and Dingboche. Monasteries, prayer flags and mani walls offer some understanding of the Buddhist style, as do teahouses along the trail, which offer warm local hospitality and a glimpse of the everyday life in the mountains. The walk also incorporates brief side trips to view points like Kala Patthar, where one can see the spectacular sunrise and sunset views of Everest and other mountains.
Everest Base Camp Trek is an ideal trekking destination that is ideal in terms of adventure and exposure to culture, and moderate high-altitude trekking skills within a compact itinerary.
The Everest Base Camp Trek is a high-altitude trek in the Khumbu region of Nepal, which is aimed at trekkers who want a condensed yet immersive Himalayan experience. It is a five-day journey that takes you across the legendary Sherpa villages, rhododendron forests, suspension bridges, glacial scenery, and affords you amazing vistas of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and other mountain ranges exceeding 3600 meters. The trek has been a walk of delight, merging both nature and cultural experiences, allowing the trekkers a feel of the high Himalayan way of life and the special Sherpa culture.
This is a perfect walk for those adventure seekers who are not willing to spend a long period of time in the real Everest experience. Among the attractions are trips to traditional villages, Buddhist monasteries and famous scenic points like Kala Patthar, where watching sunrise and sunset over Everest is a lifetime experience. The hike is also moderate physically, with some high-altitude walking, steep climbs, and rocky trails, which are ideal for an experienced hiker or someone wanting an introduction to high-altitude trekking.
This hiking is best done in spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is clear, the temperatures are moderate and views of the mountains are best. Most crowds are led in winter when conditions are colder, whilst the monsoon period (June to August) is characterised by heavy rainfall, slippery hiking paths and lack of visibility.

The journey starts with an early morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, where the trekkers are welcomed by the spectacular Himalayan scenery. The road starts at Lukla, crosses the Dudh Koshi River over numerous suspension bridges, one of which is the famous Hillary Bridge. Trekkers walk through pine and rhododendron forests as they get glimpses of the nearby peaks. Our day arrives at the frontline Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar, where the locals, teahouses, and colorful market life offer an exciting first proposal to the Khumbu culture.
Quitting Namche, the road climbs very slowly through woodland and terraces. On the route, trekkers can visit vantage points with a view of the Khumbu valley and a panorama of the Everest. The day destination is the attractive village of Tengboche that houses a monastery, providing spiritual knowledge and spectacular mountain scenery, especially of Ama Dablam. Trekkers will have the pleasure of observing the local rituals and meeting the friendly Sherpa community.
The expedition moves on through forests of rhododendron and pine, slowly rising in elevation. The trail is interspersed with small villages and mani walls, which offer cultural background and a stunning view of the Himalayan mountain range. Dingboche is a high altitude valley with large peaks around it, and a good place where people can spend time to get used to high altitude, before the next stage of climbing to high levels.
Starting at Dingboche, there are more challenging ascents with rocky trails and glacial moraine to Lobuche. This area is all about high altitude trekking and presents the panoramic view of Everest, Nuptse, and Khumbu Glacier. Lobuche offers basic teahouse accommodation with an opportunity to meet other trekkers and to enjoy the silent majesty of the Himalayas.
The day starts with a morning hike to Kala Patthar (5,545 m), where we will have an impressive view of the sunrise on top of Mount Everest and its neighbors. Upon sightseeing, trekkers head back through Lobuche and Dingboche to finally spend the night at Pheriche. A manageable descent and the reward of iconic views come together to be the final day of a condensed but memorable Everest experience.
Everest Base Camp Trek is a high-altitude adventure tour that incorporates both breathtaking Himalaya scenery and Sherpa-rich culture. The trekkers will cross forests, suspension bridges, glacial valleys, traditional villages and will also have iconic views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam. The trek is not as long as the canonical EBC route, but it also takes adequate training to withstand the altitude, stamina and acclimatize.
To hike in the Everest area, every trekker must have a Sagarmatha National Park Permit (SNP) as it is necessary to be allowed to enter the park. Further, an authorization of a Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality (KPLMR) Permit is required. Both permits are available in Kathmandu or with a registered trekking agency, and without the permits, trekking is illegal. You should have your valid ID with you, typically a passport, because these permits are tied to your ID.
It is said to be moderate: the elevation is the main factor making it rather difficult, as well as the steep climbs, in particular, between Dingboche and Lobuche or Kala Patthar. The daily walk may be 5-8 hours of walking, and sometimes on rocky, uneven roads and side-by-side suspension bridges. Trekking participants must be in good physical shape, with prior hiking experience, and must be able to cope with changes in altitude. It is important to properly acclimatize and pace in order to prevent altitude sickness.
It is advisable to have travel insurance. Make sure your policy is on coverage of:
Insurance can range between USD 90 and 140, depending on how long you need it. A 2-week trek is common, and that requires a cover.
The Mardi Himal trek is fairly difficult, a trek that a beginner in decent shape can handle. The daily progression through the field takes 5 to 6 hours, along rough tracks, including some steep ascents.
The fact that there are plenty of tea houses on the way to the Mardi Base Camp makes this trek easy since you do not have to carry the tents and cooking material with you. Lower altitude and more utilized trails feature pleasant tea houses that have electricity, Wi-Fi, hot showers, and packing bathrooms, whereas higher up the slope, the simpler lodges have main rooms with fundamental squat toilets. Some minor charges for Wi-Fi or hot water usually exist. To help you stay warm at night when it is cold, you will have a clean sleeping bag which has a warmth rating of -20 degrees Celsius.
You will find food on the trail delicious and plentiful. Traditional Nepali food such as Dal Bhat with unlimited refills, fried rice, noodles, Mo Mo dumplings, and Thukpa noodle soup can be enjoyed, as well as western meals like pasta, pizza, burgers and potatoes. Breakfast choices include Tibetan bread and chapatti with curry to eggs, porridge, muesli and pancakes. The trek would be vegetarian, vegan and special dietary needs can be communicated with your guide.
Included in your package are dinner in Kathmandu before starting the trek and three meals per day on the trail, including tea or coffee, with additional snacks, desserts, or other special drinks available to purchase.
All your transport will be included in your trekking package. Pokhara can be reached by bus, microvan, tourist bus, private vehicle or flight (USD 105 per person) from Kathmandu. Base points of the trek are Nayapul, Birethanti, Hile, Tikhedhunga and Banethanti. Local buses are more immersive, though they can be very slow and crowded, whereas renting your own vehicle will be more comfortable and flexible.
The majority of tea houses also offer electricity or solar power to charge devices, but it is better to bring a power bank. Cell phone coverage is largely serviced by NCELL or Nepal Telecom, with cell phone SIM cards fairly readily available in Kathmandu. Most tea houses have Wi-Fi available (2-3 dollars/night), but the connection may be unreliable depending on the weather and location.
It is not necessary, but highly recommended to hire a porter as you travel with a light day pack. A porter can only carry 20 kg of weight shared between the two of you, and this gives you time to concentrate on the trek rather than burdening yourself with a heavy load. Your guide can also facilitate the hiring of a porter in the event that he/she is required.
Nepal is on the rupee, but the currencies such as USD, AUD, GBP, CAD, SGD, and Euros could be easily converted in Kathmandu or Pokhara. The larger hotels, shops and restaurants accept credit and debit cards at a 3.5 per cent surcharge. There are numerous ATMs, mainly in Thamel, with a limit of withdrawal on a daily basis between Rs 10,000 and Rs 35,000 and standard fees.
