Trekmania Hem & Biplov Banjara, would recommend
Our Everest Base Camp experience was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guides, Hem and Biplov Banjara. They were truly 10/10, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly to anyone considering this trek. From start to finish, they were incredibly supportive, professional, and always looking out for the group’s best interests. No matter the situation, they were always smiling, encouraging, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone was comfortable, safe, and enjoying the journey. The father-and-son duo made the entire experience so much more special and memorable than we could have imagined. From the moment we met them, they made us feel like part of their family, and that warmth stayed with us throughout the trek. Their kindness, positivity, and genuine care for the group made all the difference. We’ll always be grateful for everything they did for us, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better guides for such an unforgettable adventure.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and heartfelt review. We are truly happy to hear that your Everest Base Camp trek was such an incredible experience. Your kind words about Hem and Biplov Banjara mean a lot to us and to them as well. They always work hard to make every trek safe, comfortable, and memorable, and it is very special to know their care and dedication made such a positive impact on your journey. Hem and Biplov treat every guest like family, and we are glad you felt that warmth throughout the trek. Their positive attitude, encouragement, and teamwork are what make them such valued guides in our Trek Mania Nepal family. We will proudly share your lovely feedback with them. Thank you again for choosing Trek Mania Nepal for your Everest adventure. It was an honor to be part of your unforgettable journey, and we truly hope to welcome you back to Nepal again for another amazing trekking experience in the future.

TrekMania - EBC Trek Review
The trek was absolutely incredible. The company were very accommodating and helpful when booking the trip and answered all our questions and queries we had before coming to Nepal. However, what made the trip unforgettable were both guides, Hem & Biplov, the father & son dynamic duo. They were truly the best part of our trip and our backbone throughout the whole trek, always keeping a smile on their face and ready to help with whatever we needed. They are all that encompass Nepali hospitality & kindness. I would highly recommend requesting both of them as your guides if you choose to come for a trek to Nepal. As I definitely will.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review and kind recommendation. We are truly delighted to hear that you had such an incredible trekking experience with us in Nepal. It means a lot to know that our team could help answer all your questions and make your trip planning smooth and comfortable before your arrival. We are especially happy to hear such wonderful words about Hem and Biplov. The father and son duo are truly passionate about what they do, and they always try their very best to support, encourage, and care for every guest throughout the journey. Your appreciation for their kindness, positive energy, and genuine Nepali hospitality will mean so much to them. Thank you for trusting Trek Mania Nepal for your adventure. It was our pleasure to be part of your unforgettable journey to the Himalayas. We sincerely hope to welcome you back again in the future for another trekking experience together with Hem and Biplov.

Incredible time and a very big thank you to Hem aNd Biplov
From start to finish the experience was incredible. This was very much due to our two amazing father son guides, Hem and Biplov. They made the experience truly amazing and we are so grateful for all the work they put in to ensure our trip was the best it could be. We would recommend these two to any groups deciding to travel with this company. The fee was well priced, and included all meals, accommodation, and tickets into the nature reserve. The views were incredible and although weather wasn’t the greatest the whole trip, when we needed it to clear up it did and led to some incredible sights. Truly a life changing experience and we are all so glad that we did it with the group and guides that we did.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Trek Mania Nepal for your adventure. We are truly happy to hear that you had such an incredible and life-changing experience with us. Hem and Biplov will be very proud to hear your kind words. As a father-son guiding team, they always do their best to make every trip safe, enjoyable, and memorable for our guests. We are also glad you enjoyed the beautiful mountain views, accommodation, meals, and overall organization of the trek, even with the changing weather conditions. Your recommendation means a lot to us and motivates our whole team to continue providing the best service possible. We hope to welcome you again in Nepal for another unforgettable Himalayan adventure. Namaste!

Trek Mania - Hem & Biplov
It was an incredible experience thanks to both guides, Hem and Biplov. From the moment I met them, they welcomed me and my friends like family and took great care of us throughout the entire trip. The experience would not have been the same without them, and I’m extremely grateful and fortunate to have shared this journey with both of them. I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you’re planning to do this trek, I would highly encourage you to go with Trek Mania and ask for Hem and Biplov specifically.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your heartfelt and wonderful review. We are truly delighted to hear that you had such an incredible experience with Hem and Biplov during your trek.

Trek mania - Hem and Biplov, you won’t regret it
All in all the trek was incredibly well organised. With no doubt in what was happening or when, staff were incredibly helpful and left little to be desired. The guide team of Hem and Biplov were incredible. To say they made the trek what it was is an understatement. If possible I definitely recommend you request the pair. Both were absolutely outstanding in their efforts to provide us and assist us with what was required. They tailored the schedule to better accommodate the groups needs in terms of pacing, health/well being and overall enjoyment. I would like to thank them for everything and suggest anyone reading this doesn’t miss out on the opportunity for a great trekking team.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words about your trekking experience with Trek Mania Nepal. We are truly delighted to hear that the entire trek was well organized and that everything ran smoothly throughout your journey. It means a lot to us that our team could provide clear communication, helpful support, and a memorable adventure in the Himalayas. We are especially grateful for your appreciation of Hem and Biplov. They are both passionate, experienced, and dedicated guides, and your comments about their care, flexibility, and professionalism will make them very proud. We always believe that every trek should be adapted to the group’s pace, comfort, health, and enjoyment, so it is wonderful to know they achieved that for you. Thank you once again for trusting Trek Mania Nepal and for highly recommending our team. Your feedback motivates us to continue providing the best trekking experiences possible. We hope to welcome you back to Nepal again soon for another unforgettable adventure in the mountains!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $789 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 Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days 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 Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days?
+
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 Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days?
+
Around 6 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 Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days 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, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour. 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.
