Once in a lifetime EBC trek!
Glorious Himalaya Trekking provided excellent service and experience. Pre-trip, Ganesh promptly answered all of my enquiries thoroughly and he was available during the trek as needed. We enjoyed the pre-trek tour of Kathmandu with an excellent guide. Our trekking guide, Ganesh (no relation to Ganesh in Kathmandu) and our porter Yam were friendly, approachable with wealth of knowledge and provided excellent support, helping a couple of mid-60's yo Canadians reach our goal. Also, another guide, Krishna (spelling correct?) who was with us for 2 days was also great. We booked a helicopter from Kathmandu to Lukla, which turned out to be very helpful since the fixed wing flight was postponed the same day to the next day. We opted for the luxury package and all the tea houses with private in-room toilet/shower were clean with dining room offering good food (we selected vegetarian food only). The trek was challenging, especially the day we trekked to EBC. One option to consider is adding an extra night to spread the last day of trekking 20 km to Lukla into 2 days. We certainly would recommend this tour company. John
Response from the operator: Dear John, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. We are truly delighted to hear that you had a great experience with our team from the planning stage to the completion of your Luxury Everest Base Camp trek. It was our pleasure to assist both of you during your Himalayan adventure. We are especially happy to know that our guide Ganesh, porter Yam, and guide Krishna provided excellent support and helped you achieve your goal safely. Your kind words about our luxury package, Kathmandu tour, and helicopter service mean a lot to us. We deeply appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Nepal again for another adventure. Thank you.

My #1 recommendation
We did this hike March 10 - 24 2026 and it was an incredible experience. Glorious Himalaya paired us with our amazing guide named Rajan. He spoke very good English loved every bit of the hike as much as we did. He had extensive knowledge of the mountains and shared it with us through the entire trek. He also ensured we stayed in the most comfortable accommodations, and seemed to know most of the proprietors personally. He’s also very good at cards, ask him to teach you some local games. The weather at this time of year was great. Most mornings quickly warmed up and we could start the day with fewer layers on. About half the days ended with a light rain that had us eager to warm up at the lodgings. The food was mostly the same through the trek, definitely recommend to listen to the guides suggestions on what to eat as the options become limited as you ascend. Glorious Himalaya was very professional and ensured we were where we needed to be at the right time. I will go through this company again when I return to Nepal.
Response from the operator: Dear Jon Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We are truly grateful that you chose Glorious Himalaya for your Everest Base Camp trek. It means a lot to us to know that you had a memorable and enjoyable experience with our team. Your kind words about the trek, our guides, and overall service really motivate us to continue delivering the best possible experience to all our guests. We’re delighted to have been part of your Himalayan journey. We hope to welcome you again in Nepal for another adventure in the near future. Safe travels and warm regards from the entire Glorious Himalaya team! 🙏

Why this scores 83
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 $1600 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 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 68 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 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 24 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 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.
