    Trip of a lifetime with Himalayan Recreation!

    I signed up with Himalayan Recreation for the Everest Marathon and Everest Base Camp package. It was the most amazing experience of my life! From the moment I contacted the owner Bishnu, I knew I chose the right company to guide me on this adventure. Excellent communication in the months leading up to this trip. All questions were answered and the price was great. Everything described was delivered and then some! I was met at the Kathmandu airport and taken to a great hotel in Thamel prior to the trek. Airfare to Lukla was included along with transfers. My guide / porter Subash met me and gave me the best possible service, friendly guidance with excellent English, and made the entire trek memorable! Every accommodation and meal were completely taken care of. Every detail of the marathon was included. Post race, the trek and trip back were just as awesome! Bishnu even met me and took me to a nice dinner on my last night in Kathmandu if you have any thoughts about an EBC trek or anything else in the area and want the best service-do yourself a favor and use Himalayan Recreation! I had the trip of a lifetime!!

    Well-Organized and Memorable Everest Base Camp Adventure

    I completed the Everest Base Camp Trek in May 2026, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The breathtaking Himalayan scenery, challenging trails, and unforgettable sense of achievement made every step worthwhile. A special thanks to my guide, Buddha, who was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the journey, always ensuring our safety and comfort. I would also like to thank Bishnu, the Managing Director, for his excellent hospitality and professionalism. He even treated our group to a wonderful meal, which was a thoughtful and memorable gesture. I highly recommend this trek and the team to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure.

    Everest Trip meets expectations :)

    A trip that delivers in many ways, great guide (Naranyan) who went out of his way to help us, nice tea houses with comfortable beds and safe food Menus were all the same so lacking variety, whilst everything above Namchi (3400m) gets progressively more unaffordable. Weather is critical and it rains almost every day this time of year seemingly. Scenery was still awe inspiring with massive peaks and glaciers but we still never sighted Everest due to cloud. Manageable ascent for someone in their 20s but an older person will need to be fit and motivated to survive the brutal climbs to Namchi, Tenbouchi Monastery or the Labouche Pass which is simply pure evil at 5100m. Amazing sights along thre way both natural and cultural. Bucket list item for me definitely an One And Done. Drones more or less banned was disappointing. This company tries hard to ensure a successful experience. .

    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 $999 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 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 101 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 35 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: Pick up Dropoff (Guide from Himalayan Recreation for arrival and departure assistance by P; First Aid Kit and Himalayas Recreation's T-shirt; A government license holder trekking guide with his/Her full facilities; All government taxes, VAT and service charges; and Dinner. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; and Gratuities. 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 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 5 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; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. 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: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
