Professional organization by a great team!
Great experience with perfect organization. After our arrival in Kathmandu we were received very friendly. Bimal and Hari took a lot of time, showed us the city and gave helpful tips. Also during the tour our guide Bimal put a lot of effort into it, explained many things to us and was always for a fun to have. A special highlight was the subsequent invitation to the residences of Hari and Bimal with guided city tours and tasting of many local dishes at your home. So you could get great insights into life. I have always felt safe on the tour and I am really grateful for the great time. If I come back to Nepal, I will definitely contact the guys.

110% recommendation - kind, responsible and funny guides
I would give 6 stars if possible. After we arrived in Kathmandu (and one day before the actual adventure was about to start), Hari and Bimal came to our hotel and we got to know each other. I had to buy some minor equipment for the trekking and they showed us some hidden places to get exactly the things needed for reasonable prices. For the trekking itself, Bimal was our guide (I travelled with a good friend). He was doing an amazing job, answered many questions, never ran out of patience, was very empathetic and had many secret tips for us to make the trip even greater. Bimal is a fun guy and very responsible at the same time. He was a key part of our incredibly wonderful holiday. After 12 days, when we were back in Kathmandu, Hari and Bimal offered to show their home towns to us. We got to know their communities and family which was an extra nice addition to the overall trip. I could not wished for a better experience, really happy to have done the trip with them. Can only recommend! … And when I‘ll come back to another Nepali mountain adventure, these are the guys to be with again.
Response from the operator: Thank you Florian and Marco, we equally enjoyed organizing this trip for you. We will always work with the same passion and dedication .

Great Guide, Good porters
We had booked EBC trek with Bikat Adventures, coordination from Bikat was poor. They had outsourced trek to Nepal Trek Ways. Once we landed to Lukla, we met our guide Mr. Nir Kumar Karki then trek was absolutely smooth. Mr. Nir Kuma Karki was always smiling and guiding in overcoming challenges of difficult trek. Our porters Mr. Premji and Mr. Gebin were also helpful. If you are planning to do trek in Nepal, get directly in touch with Nepal Trek Ways.

Why this scores 67
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 $1400 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 360 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 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 360-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Everest Base camp trek?
+
Around 1 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 360-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, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour. 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.
