Everest three passes is the trek of a lifetime!!
This year I did the Everest three passes trek with six friends. It was beyond belief. The views are among the best in the world. We were lucky enough to have good weather whenever we really needed it, to cross the passes, to climb Kala Pattar and, for three of us (not me unfortunately...) to climb Island peak. We stayed pretty much above 4000m for a week. The organization was perfect, as usual. Basanta, Chandra and the porters went way beyond their duties. We stayed in great tea houses and ate pretty good food. Acclimatization worked perfectly for everybody. Highly recommended. You need to be in good shape, because it's the toughest trek I ever did. But it's more than worthwhile!!!!

Island Peak
Highly recommend these guys! Used their guiding services for Island Peak. Throughout the whole long trip, the manager was always in touch. Super flexible approach — I actually had to change my summit day a few times, and both the manager and the guide adjusted to my plans without any problems. A special thanks to my guide, Mingma, who was with me on the way to the top. Incredibly calm guy and an exceptional professional. Awesome experience, will definitely book with them again!

EBC April/May 2026
We recently booked a porter/guide through this company to do 3 Passes in Khumbu region. Communication in planning the trip was very good. This was our 3rd trek in Nepal however first with this company. Previous 2 experiences i would state i felt the agents for each trek to not be trustworthy. I have a very different opinion about Nepal Trekking Experts. I felt they were very honest and trustworthy at all times. We had to pay a small deposit to secure the trek/flights which was taken off the final price. Our porter/guide Chandra was fantastic. He was very funny and spoke English really well. He was completely reliable and could not have done enough for us at the guest houses. He was constantly looking out for us ensuring we were OK. He recommended guest houses at each stop so that we did not need to do this and also had suggested acclimatisation hikes depending on where we were. Whoever books a trek and gets Chandra as part of their trek should feel reassured you are in the best hands with him. I highly recommend Nepal Trekking Experts and would use them again for any future treks. I have not been able to say this previously with the other 2 companies I have used.

Amazing experience!
We experienced the EBC Trek with this company. Rajesh and team managed absolutely everything since we arrived in the airport. Taxis, hotel, tea houses, meals, flights, etc. Everything was great considering the context where you can be in every stage of your trip. Communication was perfect as well. Even when weather doesn't give you a good time, the company will manage different options in order to have you enjoying your trekk. We are very happy with Rajesh, Basanta, Thamra and Santos.

Three passes trek, an incredible 17 day journey which I’ll never forget.
We had an incredible experience trekking with Nepal Trekking Experts. Raj, Dinesh and Mihindriya were outstanding guides — extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and always positive throughout the hike. They made the whole experience enjoyable, safe, and unforgettable. Their local knowledge, encouragement, and friendly nature really made the trek special. Couldn’t recommend them and Nepal Trekking Experts highly enough!

Why this scores 84
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 $1590 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 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 92 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 32 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 Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek. 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.
