Everest Base Camp Trek gives you an opportunity to visit some of the high-altitude destinations that only a handful of world’s population ever gets to visit. Following the footsteps of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, trek along the foothills of Himalayan mountains including the world’s highest, Mount Everest (8,848 m). Stand beneath their massive shadows and feel humbled. En route experience Sherpa hospitality and culture, Buddhist spiritualism (the trails are adorned with mani stones, chortens and colorful prayer flags) and amazing mountain scenery. NOTE: The Lukla flights to and from Kathmandu had been shifted to Manthali Airport, Ramechhap district in 2019 & 2020 due to heavy air traffic during peak trekking season (Mar, Apr, May, Oct, Nov). But, for now, the flights are directly between Kathmandu and Lukla. Extra cost would be applicable if airlines don't provide any shuttle services or if you want to take a private vehicle instead of the shared ride provided by the airlines.

Thoughtful and Caring guidance when you need it most
Ace the Himalaya overall was a very good tour operator. In particular, the guide we had, Rajkumar, was unbelievably detailed and constantly checked in with everyone to ensure they were doing well and did not have any outstanding questions. I highly recommend Ace and would recommending requesting a tour with Rajkumar.

Three Everest Base Camp Treks, One Exceptional Guide – Ramhari Neupane (2014, 2016 & 2026)
I have just completed the Everest Base Camp trek with our brilliant guide, 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞 from Ace the Himalaya. I have completed this trek two times previously and I have requested Ram to be our guide on each occasion (trips 2014, 2016 and 2026). Ram has completed this trek over 150 times and his knowledge of the mountains and understanding of how his clients will experience the excitement and challenges of the trek is exceptional. Ram has seemingly endless positive energy for staying engaged with his clients and remains very vigilant regarding what each client is going through. For example, I had a stomach upset well into the trek and he could tell me accurately in hindsight the number of days I hadn't eaten for etc. Ram makes himself available 24/7 while on the trek and helped out proactively and when requested. Once again he got us all to EBC and half the group up Kala phatthar. Ram is a very good communicator and had to deal with difficult issues at times such as explaining options around Lukla flights, helicopters etc. I could not recommend Ram highly enough and also his employer Ace the Himalaya who have grown successfully since I first trekked with them.in 2014. I am not sure I will be back again but hopefully I will be and will travel again with Ram and Ace. 5 Stars.

A Trip of a Lifetime to EBC
Our EBC trek with Ace the Himalaya was truly an unforgettable experience. We were a group of nine, led by our excellent guide Raj Kc and supported by Girija. Throughout the journey, they looked after us exceptionally well with professionalism, experience, and a great sense of humour. Thanks to their guidance, encouragement, and expertise, every member of our team successfully reached Everest Base Camp on time. The organisation was outstanding from start to finish, with excellent food, safe drinking water, comfortable accommodation, and first-class support throughout the trek. I highly recommend Ace the Himalaya and their guides to anyone considering a trek in Nepal. Their experience, dedication, and commitment to client safety and success make them a truly exceptional trekking company.

Trip of a lifetime
An absolutely stunning experience from start to finish. We arrived a day early and paid for an extra night in the hotel, we were picked up at the airport by our guide Ressam and driven there. On the day we were due to leave the trip to Kathmandu airport for our trip to Lukla was easy and stress free. After that, the trek itself was the trip of a lifetime, made possible by Ressam and our porters. Ressam and Kumar were extremely helpful and informative and nothing was too much for them, from keeping our water bottles filled to ordering meals and checking our oxygen each morning to make sure we were fine to carry on. We were also really lucky with the weather and had clear skies every day and wonderful views of all the mountains.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Everest Base Camp Trek - 14 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Everest Base Camp Trek - 14 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $1,800 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 - 14 Days take?
+
Plan for about 336 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 - 14 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1,656 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Everest Base Camp Trek - 14 Days?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Everest Base Camp Trek - 14 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 336-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Everest Base Camp Trek - 14 Days?
+
Around 580 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 336-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Everest Base Camp Trek - 14 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 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.
