    Best Experience ever !!!!

    I had a wonderful experience with Bishnu and his company! From the very beginning, I had many questions, and Bishnu always answered promptly and with great patience. When we arrived in Nepal, we could see how thoughtfully everything had been planned and so well organized by the whole team, with care and kindness, to make sure everything went perfectly for our group. I recommend this trip to everyone. It’s an experience you should have at least once in your life! The trail is breathtaking, Nepalese culture is incredibly rich, the people we met along the way were amazing, and the scenery was absolutely stunning! Congratulations to the whole team, especially our guide, Kamal, and our porters, Santos, Samyog, and Yadu. You’re all wonderful—so kind and experienced. You made all the difference on this trip! NAMASTE! 🙏🏽

    Solo EBC Hike

    I just want to give a big thanks to Nepal Hiking Adventure for giving me the experience of a lifetime. Taking on this trip solo as a women is a feat in itself. Making it to basecamp and back, I could not be more proud. The trip itself was 8 days to basecamp and 3 days back. Thank you to my amazing guide Kamal and to the two porters Nosing and Samyog for being so amazing this whole trip. The kindess and patience expressed by everyone is unmatched! Kamal is so knowledgable in the mountains and the history of the land. He is so funny and always so energetic to keep the group energy high. He made sure we were comfortable at all stages and checked our oxygen levels and asked how we were feeling regularly. Thank you for your support, humor and singing along the way! You always gave 100% and kept the atmosphere high! Both porters were incredibly friendly and supportive. They were both so kind and walked with me when I was not feeling the best and made sure that I took rests and water breaks regularly. I just wanted to say they are the two most amazing and strong people I've met. My group was relatively small in size. We had 3 other guys and 2 girls so 6 people in total. I thought that that was a great group size and got to know everyone very well. Pricing wise I thought it was very reasonable. Luckily we also had the weather on our side most of the way so I am very grateful to the mountains for that. Overall, I had a fantastic time and am very grateful for the experience! Looking forward to the next time to trek with Nepal Hiking Adventure and requesting Kamal as my guide again! Thank you as always Yvonne

    10 day EBC Trek

    We signed up for the 10 day everest base camp hike. Due to some rush with the trip we ended up completing in 8 days. The experience was very fulfilling, and our guide Raj was very knowledgeable. A couple of us faced symptoms of altitude sickness but he was able to coach us through properly and work through it. All the tea houses we stayed at were nice as well and we got lucky with food and bathrooms. The only difficulty we faced was before the hike where there was a lack of communication making it hard to prepare and plan our trip.

    Beautiful EBC experience

    We did the 10 day trek and had the most amazing experience making it to Base Camp even a day earlier so they could accommodate our flight. The teahouses were better than expected with a lot of them offering western toilets and having wide range of options for lunch and dinner. Our guide, Raj, was experienced and fun. We couldn’t have done it without him, quite literally as he carried me a little when I had altitude sickness! Same with the porters, they were incredible doing the hike whilst carrying our heavy bags. Would definitely recommend this trek to everyone, especially if you’re short on time.

    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 $1,690 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 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 worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 73 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Everest Base Camp Trek?

    +

    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 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?

    +

    Around 26 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 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: 2 night accommodation in Kathmandu on BB plan. (Hotel Kailash Kutee or Same Categories); Drop and pickup from airport on arrival and final departure; Flight ticket for Guide KTM_LUKLA_KTM or Ramechap; Flight ticket for client KTM-lukla-KTM or Ramechap-lukla-ramechap(Drive to Ramechap on pea; and Lunch.

    +

    What languages is Everest Base Camp Trek offered in?

    +

    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.
