About this experience
The Everest Base Camp Trek has a numbers of stunning attractions, it also has some distinct drawbacks which might well deter potential trekkers were is not for the undeniable plus point of being able to say you have been to the highest mountain in the world. the attraction include spectacular scenery and the outgoing Sherpa people of the solu khumbu, the drawbacks include the region. its not until you get right in to the solu khumbu region that the everest trek really gets intresting.the first part of thentrek is not only a hard slog,bit is also pretty aparse in the breath trekking views department ,the hard slog comes about because the trek doesn’t follow valley like the Annapurna treks instead the everest treks cuts across the valley so for day after day it’s a tiring process of droping down one side of a steep valley and climbing up again in the other by the ttime you reach the base camp you r ascents will total almost 9000 meters, the full height of everest from sea level!

Saw-Cee is the best EBC guide you can get!
I did a 9 day EBC hike with helicopter return. Everything went very smoothly from the very start getting picked up at the airport. Saw-Cee was my guide. He was an incredible guide that was very knowledgeable about everything in Nepal. I learned so much from him about the region, customs, and Buddhism. He has a great sense of humor and was fun to hike with. If you are booking through Exciting Nepal which I highly recommend request Saw-Cee to be your guide! Kryjal was our porter he was also a great guy, always smiling, hard working and it was a pleasure to have him with us. Nepal is such a beautiful place, going to Everest Base Camp is something you’ll never forget so what are you waiting for? Do it!

Fantastic Team!
My experience with Exciting Nepal was exceptional. Subash was extremely helpful with all arrangements and showed real care for the trek to go as perfectly as possible. Our guide DB was phenomenal, sharing his expertise and friendly vibes 24/7 and meeting all our requests and even going beyond what was expected. I would wholeheartedly recommend Exiciting Nepal to all who would like to trek EBC.

12 day Everest Base Camp Trek
This was an incredible experience and one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. It is a journey that starts relatively comfortable but gets difficult so be prepared for that. In regards to exciting Nepal, Subash was our point of contact and he was extremely patient with our MANY questions, responded promptly and adjusted the trip to our needs when requested. We appreciated all of that! Basu, our guide, was a highlight of the trip for me. He was polite, kind, thoughtful and just overall the kind of person keeping many balls up in the air at all times during the trek. While hiking with him and stopping at camps, you can tell he is well liked and connected and helped us every step of the way, including flying back to Kathmandu when flights were scarce. I am super grateful for this experience and everything went as planned. If comfort is very important to you, discuss with Subash paying a little extra for more premium accommodations. We stuck to the basics and that was okay with us, but you should be able to customize to something more comfortable if you are willing to pay of course.

Amazing added team members!
Why choose Exciting Nepal Treks and Expedition as your guide tour to conquer EBC? Let me tell you some of the reason I chose this agency and why I would choose it again and highly recommend it. There are so many options available, but after choosing 5 different agencies, this was the one that responded promptly, aligned to what we were looking for, and worked with us best to create an itinerary that meet our needs and wants. Subash is very responsive and will clarify information as much as you need. He will redirect to additional website for needed information and will make himself available to have a phone conversation and even meet with you and your team via video call if needed. Also, the agency provides some of the equipment needed for your trek which is quality items such as sleeping bags, duffle bags, trekking poles and a down jacket. All which are kept in good condition and cleaned properly. Though, the true gem of this company in my opinion, is their guide Basu Dev who was matched with our team along with the wonderful porters Akash (who has the best smile that you cannot help but curl the ends of your lips into a smile when you see him), Arjun, and Peshal. Being mentally and physically prepared for this challenges is highly important; but equally important is that you have your team completely with the right guide who will manage the day to day execution of this challenge with you. I was so impressed with Basu’s efficient tenacity to execute so many moving parts of such an expedition. From effectively communicating with the team, managing time, coordinating accommodations and pivoting to make adjustments as needed according to our needs and requests if possible. His depth of knowledge about the mountain, terrain, landscape, services and community served not only to guide us through our adventure, but to provide options when possible ensuring we had the ability to make decisions and make adjustments when we needed. In addition, Basu checked with each of the 5 team members on a daily basis and throughout the day, to ensure we were doing well, encouraged us, and answered any questions we had including being honest when it was a matter out of his control. He always made sure each of us ate before he would go have his meals, and briefed us every evening on the following day’s itinerary including advising what to wear, take in our day bag, amount of water to have, and mentioning rest/lunch points scheduled along the way. On the EBC “summit” day, Basu arranged for a couple of porters to accompany our team from Gorakshep to base camp, and patiently supported the team on achieving individual success by each reaching and setting foot on the EBC landmark rock! I honestly believe his guidance, support, and professionalism were key ingredients needed for a successful achievement, and added to the unforgettable journey I experienced. I have so much respect for the hard work Basu puts into to ensure to the best of his ability that each of his customers/adventurers are kept safe and reach their personal goals, I am grateful Subash matched him, Akash, Arjun and Peshal to be part of our team. A gentle reminder to always treat your added team with respect, work in collaboration with your guide to have a higher success rate and solution to challenges, and be wise to assess there are situations that are out of everyone’s control where Mother Nature will have the last word, and you guide will always do their best and what is safe for you and the team.

To reach the summit to EBC ! With the help of my guide ( Basu) the most helpful, patient and his excellent support. He provided me with the porter to carry my back pack and I would not have done it without this help . I will never forget how he made it happened and I finally fulfilled my long time dreams . I would recommend to everyone to go through this exciting Nepal and you will not be disappointed. I am totally 100% satisfied! Basu is like my own son !!

Why this scores 88
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 $1400 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 312 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 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 118 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed 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?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 15. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 312-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Everest Base camp Trek-12 days?
+
Around 41 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 312-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, 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.
