THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES!
Truly what an incredible time we had with Sonam who owns Trek Venture Nepal. I can't begin to thank Sonam enough for making our experience so authentic and enjoyable. He really went above and beyond when one of us got food poisoning. I will never forget his kindness and compassion in that time. The trek itself was amazing and has left me wanting to come back to nepal to trek more of these beautiful trails with our amazing guide Sonam.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Nikki, for your review. We really appreciate your feedback and continue to provide our best services.

Wholesome!
This was my first time seeing Nepal and so glad it was Sonam who guided me through this beautiful country. He was kind, thoughtful, funny, intelligent and great company throughout the treks and my stay there. My heart is so full from my visit. Learnt and got so much from it. Thank you Trekventure for the wonderful experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you Krityishaa for all the good praise.:-) I am glad to be a part of your journey in Nepal. Best wishes for preparing Dhindo and making movie.

Response from the operator: Dear Janine, Thank you so much for the five-star review. Sonam is one of the finest guides in Nepal. The Everest region is his home and his favorite trekking area. We are pleased to know you had a great trip to EBC. Hoping to see you again in Nepal.

life time experience
Our friends decided to take the adventure of a lifetime by signing a trip with the Trek Venture Nepal Team. We were thrilled with the trekking trails and diverse views of Nepal. We made it to Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Ri via Chola pass. It was a lifetime experience with our guide Pasang Sherpa. He is the best guide ever!!

Incredible experience!!
What an incredible experience! The 12 day hike was challenging but the views and experiences along the way were priceless. Our guide, Sonam, was fantastic. Our group was taken care of from the time we landed in Kathmandu until we left Nepal. He planned every step of the way. It was so nice to not worry about transportation, lodging, food, or the hiking route. Thanks Sonam for such a great journey!
Response from the operator: It was great trip especially icefall hike. You are welcome Dan. Thank you for your review.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Everest Base Camp Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Everest Base Camp Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $1,200 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 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 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 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 Everest Base Camp Trek?
+
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 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?
+
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 Everest Base Camp Trek 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 Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. 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.
What is included in Everest Base Camp Trek?
+
Included: Trek map; Trekking Porter (2:1); First aid kit; Professional trekking guide; and Airport pick and drop. Not included: High altitude evacuation insurance; and Alchoholic beverage and hot-cold drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Everest Base Camp Trek include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 74 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Everest Base Camp Trek offered in?
+
It is offered in Hindi, German, Chinese, Japanese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Everest Base Camp Trek?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Everest Base Camp Trek wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Everest Base Camp Trek if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Everest Base Camp Trek?
+
Across 5 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, photo opportunities, food and drink. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works. One thing to know: Expect real walking or climbing: reviewers mention the effort involved.
