Wonderful guides and amazing scenery
My friends and son and I had a wonderful adventure hiking to the Everest Base Camp guided by Sonam and his team. Some of us are a little older in our 50s and 60s but Sonam led us in a successful hike. The scenery was amazing and the villages charming, but the highlight of the experience was our interaction with Sonam. Thank you!!!

Amazing experience!
This was a last-minute trip after I was unable to continue with my previous plans, but it turned out to be an amazing experience and fantastic value for money. Everything was incredibly well organised and carried out, with amazing support from my guide, Pralhad. His extensive knowledge of the mountains, trekking routes, and Nepalese culture really added to the whole experience. He made me feel comfortable throughout the trip, attended to every request at each stop, and always made sure I was able to get the most out of the journey. Pralhad was extremely friendly, helpful and professional from start to finish, and the level of service exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future and couldn’t recommend the experience enough!

Best adventure of my life
Going to the Everest Base Camp Tour was definitely one of the best adventures of my life, our tour guide -Madan-and the company -Mosaic Adventure- were amazing, nothing like taking this type of services with a local company. 12 days of pure nature trekking at the right pace. Highly recommend.

A Truly Unforgettable Everest Base Camp Adventure with Outstanding Care
This was an amazing experience. My daughter organised the trip with Mosaic, and Mr Madhav Prasad was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. Everything was taken care of—from picking us up at Kathmandu airport, to accommodation, flights to and from Lukla, and all travel, food, and lodging during our Everest Base Camp trek. We chose to do a private trek, just the two of us, and Mosaic made it seamless by providing both a guide and a porter. I also found the experience to be very reasonably priced for what was included. At 62, I did find parts of the trek challenging towards the end, but our guide Manu (Manoj) and our porter Khotange were exceptional. Khotange kindly carried extra weight for me when needed, and on the final day Manu even arranged a horse so I could finish the journey comfortably. Their care and support truly made all the difference. Everything about the experience—from interacting with locals, to the breathtaking scenery, and the quality of the food—made this an unforgettable adventure. Yes, it was cold at times and physically demanding, but that’s all part of what made it so rewarding. Manu also did a fantastic job managing our flights to and from Lukla. We were fortunate to get on the first flights each time without delays, which I understand is quite rare—he clearly knows exactly how to navigate the system. Manu and Khotange made this trek incredibly special, and I cannot thank them enough. Many thanks to Manu, Khotange, and Madhav for such an incredible experience. Robert (Dad) and Michaela

Thoroughly planned, flawlessly executed and very manageable!
A lifelong dream to see Mount Everest in person was effortlessly fulfilled thanks to Mosaic Adventure and our amazing guides Purna Adhikari and Ramesh Adhikari. Traveling from rural Maine we had a long journey. Arriving at Kathmandu airport was intimidating and chaotic, our guide was waiting to greet us with a sign and a car to transport us to our hotel. The following morning we had a great breakfast and thorough briefing of our journey. We spent our free day purchasing additional trekking gear and taking in Kathmandu. Our guides picked us up at the hotel for our flight to Lukla and got us through the chaos of Kathmandu airport. Each evening after dinner we were briefed on what to expect the next day, we ordered our breakfast and oftentimes socialized with the guides. The sections of the treks were well plan and very manageable. Purna kept our pace in check to ensure we didn’t rush it. The stops to water and meals were perfectly timed. Every aspect of the trek was thought out. We are already planning for our next adventure with Mosaic.

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 $1,445 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 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 394 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history 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 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 138 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: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Travel insurance, personal expenses, porter, tipping. 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 178 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Everest Base Camp Trek offered in?
+
It runs in 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?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Kathmandu. Standard cancellation terms apply.
What do travelers say about Everest Base Camp Trek?
+
Across 394 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, organization, food and drink. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works. One thing to know: Several reviewers comment on how the schedule is paced.
