Always happy to do it again.
Good advice and planning. Appointments were always reliably kept. The guide spoke very good English and knew every mountain with elevation details. He was familiar with the entire area, including lodges and trekking routes, and could thus flexibly respond to my needs and capabilities. He was also able to find a doctor at night in case of altitude sickness. He was equally helpful in rearranging the flight to Lukla, which was postponed due to bad weather. Dil was always reachable. I could relax and rely on everyone, including the excellent porter.

Excellent Experience: High Quality Throughout. Tremendous Value
This is my second time booking with Adventure Glacier Treks. The owner is fantastic to work with. Excellent communication, and tremendous value. The operator always goes out of their way to ensure quality guides are provided, the trip is expertly planned, and is very flexible with custom trips. You can feel confident booking with this company. My second trip ever outside of the US was to do the EBC trek, and Adventure Glacier Treks made the experience seamless. A+

Personable and professional trek that changed my life!
Im a 22 year old solo traveller and I had the BEST experience with Adventure Glacier and my guide Roshan. Roshan was incredible in organising all of our accomodation, food and transport even during such a busy season, and I always felt comfortable and accommodated for. Everything felt super streamlined and easy, giving me more time to focus on the trek itself, my body and my mental ambitions for the trip. I was very proud to have Roshan as my guide - his knowledge was incredible, and he was always the most amiable and friendly character in the room, knowing everyone on the trail and always being happy to have a conversation. Our porter Lalchan was also a really helpful and professional aid, as well as all the staff in the lovely places we stayed. Although I was on a solo tour, the trek was a great opportunity to meet new friends along the way who had similar schedules, whilst still having the flexibility to walk at our own pace and manage our own eating times, which was very nice! My favourite part of the trek was hiking up to Kalapatthar, I definitely recommend doing the optional hike after Base Camp to watch the sunset on Everest! Thankyou Roshan for always being up to all the additional, wonderful challenges and for encouraging me to do my best. The company owner Dil is such an inspirational, talented and knowledgeable character who runs a personable yet highly professional business. He is the kindest and most patient friend, who made my experience as smooth and tailored as possible. He was extremely flexible in allowing me to change between the jeep ride and the flight from Luka (I did the jeep first and the flight on the way back), and helpful in getting me prepared for my trip, with great tips and generosity in assembling my kit. I couldn’t recommend this company more, thankyou Roshan, Lalchan, Dil, and the team at Adventure Glacier 🙏💗

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 $990 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 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute 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 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 3 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 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?
+

+
