The top of one mountain in the bottom of the next so keep climbing
Best experience ever with Nepal High Trek. My guide Kumar and Him porter were fenomenal. Attention to details was exceptional. Traveling as a solo female never felt uncomfortable. Food so many choices never boring. We share some laughs some quiet moments and a lot of encouragement. Thank you so much for the support and for helping achieve one of my many dreams. Getting to EBC and Kala Patthar was a dream come true.

Thank you indako!
I honestly couldn’t recommend Indako highly enough as a guide. He made what was already an incredibly challenging and unforgettable journey to Everest Base Camp so much more manageable. I became quite unwell during the trek, and Indako was incredibly attentive, patient and supportive throughout. He always checked in on me, made sure I was okay, and genuinely cared about how I was feeling. His kindness and reassurance meant a lot, particularly during some of the more difficult days when I was struggling physically. What also really stood out to me was the way he treated our porters. He was consistently respectful, kind and considerate towards them, and it was clear that he genuinely valued their hard work and wellbeing. That said a lot about his character. Indako was professional, knowledgeable and attentive, but above all he was a genuinely kind person. He helped make an extremely difficult experience something I will always be incredibly proud of. I’m very grateful to have had him as our guide and would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering an Everest Base Camp trek.
Response from the operator: Dear Chloe, We highly appreciate your excellent review on TripAdvisor and thank you so much for sharing an unforgettable experience with us. We're thrilled to hear from you that you had a wonderful journey with the Nepal High Trek team throughout the Everest Base Camp Trek. We hope you'll be back in Nepal for your next adventure and can't wait to see you in Nepal. With Best Regards Nepal High Trek And Expedition

An Unforgettable Everest Base Camp Experience with Indako
We had the most incredible experience trekking to Everest Base Camp, and so much of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Indako! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our trek unforgettable. He was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, always keeping us informed about the beautiful surroundings, mountains and places we were passing through. His enthusiasm really added so much to the whole experience. He also took the most amazing photographs throughout the trek, capturing so many special moments and memories for us along the way something we’re so grateful for. Indako genuinely made the trip. We always felt looked after, informed and supported, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. You could really tell how passionate he is about what he does. I couldn’t recommend Indako or Nepal High Trek enough. Everest Base Camp was an experience I’ll never forget, and I’m already looking forward to coming back to Nepal to do Annapurna and Manaslu with them! Thank you, Indako, for making an already incredible adventure even more special! 🏔️❤️

The best experience of our lives!
Coming into this trek, we were all a little nervous; but, we have never been more blessed by a group of people. Our guide, Suman was the best thing to ever happen to our group here in Nepal. His knowledge, attitude, and character was central to our positive experience. We never felt unsafe or not taken care of. Our porters, Yogesh and DP, became some of our best friends. There was never a spare moment without laughter with our group. Throughout our trek, we conquered some of the highest mountain passes in the world and our guide, Suman, was always looking out for us. He helped us maintain a pace that we could recover from at such a high altitude, but also matched our fitness. Thank you so much Nepal High Trek for giving us the most amazing experience. I would recommend anyone who wants to tackle any journey in Nepal with Nepal High Trek, and hopefully with Suman and the boys! Please use them for your future journeys!
Response from the operator: Dear Mya We highly appreciate your excellent feedback on TripAdvisor and thank you so much for sharing an unforgettable experience with us.

Three High Passes with an amazing team!!
Our experience doing the Three High Passes was incredible! Our guide Suman was so knowledgeable about the area. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Yoges and Mr. Depe, our porters, were an amazing addition to our team! We could not have done it without them! I would highly recommend working with Nepal High Trek & Expedition!

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 $1,799 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 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 137 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?
+
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 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 48 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 languages is Everest Base Camp Trek offered in?
