I recently completed the 12 Days Everest Base Camp Trek with Blissful Himalayas Treks & Tours, and it was nothing short of magical!

An exceptional, life-changing family trip with the best guide, Raj
We had the chance to have Raj as our guide during our family’s challenging Everest trek. He was extremely supportive, multilingual (fluent not only in English but also in Japanese), always cheerful, positive, warm-hearted, and trustworthy. Raj knew exactly how to motivate us to keep going, reassured us throughout the journey, and introduced us to the mysterious and spiritual world of the Himalayas. I highly recommend him as a guide and his company, Blissful Himalayas Treks & Tours, as a tour operator. I want to express my sincere gratitude to him for the many unforgettable memories, even the ones related to altitude sickness. Not only did we enjoy the breathtaking views of Mount Everest, but we were also deeply moved by how the people live up there. We developed a deep respect for the porters who carry everyday food and goods, with or without the help of their yaks, zokkyos, donkeys, and horses. It was an amazing trip that will certainly change our way of thinking. I won’t hesitate for a moment to plan another trekking adventure with them, hopefully sooner than I imagined. Pheri bhetaula !
Response from the operator: Dear Wonderful Team 🫂 Greetings 👋 Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're so happy to hear that you had such an incredible experience on your Everest trek with Raj as your guide. It’s wonderful to know that his support, positivity, and knowledge of the region made your journey even more memorable. We're also grateful for your thoughtful words about the people and porters of the Himalayas. Your respect for their hard work is truly inspiring. We can’t wait to have you on another adventure with Blissful Himalayas in the future. Pheri bhetaula! Thank you ! Kind Regards Rajan Pandit, CEO Blissful Himalayas Treks & Tours

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
12 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does 12 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking cost?
+
Prices start at $1299 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 12 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking take?
+
Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is 12 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 12 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 12 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 12 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 12 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
