Mardi Himal
Did a solo Mardi Himal trek. Adventure Great Himalaya managed this well and organized a guide cum porter, Shankar. Logistics from airport to Kathmandu to Mardi Trek were all taken care of efficiently. The guide was great and made the trek enjoyable. I have booked with Adventure Great Himalaya on a few occasions and they have always surpassed expectations.

Amazingly supportive company
My husband and I booked Adventure Great Himalaya to do the 3 passes and everest base camp trek. Everything was organised, they were great to communicate with via email in the lead up and answer my questions and they let us borrow some gear. They did their best to organise comfortable accommodations and transfers and we got there successfully and started our trek. Both the guide Krishna and our porter were friendly and helpful and we very much enjoyed our time trekking. Krishna was supportive and encouraging and worked with us to make the trek what we wanted, no rushing to get up early if we didnt need to. Unfortunately my husband became ill and we had to stop at Dingboche. Krishna was very supportive in helping us to stay additional nights in town to try to get better and helped us see the local clinic doctor. After suggesting alternative plans and routes to be able to continue we eventually decided it was time to call it and head down, he was supportive of that too. We ended up organising a helicopter from the town below as my husband wasn't able to do the trekking back down and again he was very helpful in this. He re-organized our flight from Lukla to get us back to Kathmandu as soon as possible. Once there our accommodation was arranged for us to remain for the rest of the trip. Alternative tours were offered to us to use our additional time, but unfortunately we were both too sick to do so. While our trek didnt work out we did have a great time at the start, the trek was beautiful, and we were really happy with the way we were supported and the level of organisation that was done to make it as smooth as possible. Thanks guys.

A Breathtaking Winter Adventure – Cold but Unforgettably Beautiful!
I completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Adventure Great Himalaya Treks & Expedition in December, and it was an experience that perfectly balanced challenge and awe. Let's be honest: it was extremely cold. The temperatures, especially at night and on Lobuche, Gorak Shep and Kala Patthar are no joke. However, this challenge is precisely what made the trip so special and rewarding. And what a journey! The winter scenery was absolutely spectacular. The skies were crystal clear every single day, offering unobstructed, panoramic views of the Himalayas that were even more vivid and sharp than I imagined. The trails were quieter, the villages more serene, and the frozen waterfalls and dusted pine forests looked like something from a fairy tale. It was a pure, peaceful wilderness experience. Our guide, Krishna, was exceptional. His winter trekking experience was invaluable—he knew exactly how to pace us, which teahouses had the best sun exposure and warmth, and constantly monitored everyone for signs of cold stress. His knowledge and cheerful attitude kept our spirits high even on the coldest mornings. If you are prepared for the cold (both mentally and with the right gear provided), trekking in winter with Adventure Great Himalaya Treks & Expedition is an absolute privilege. You trade some greenery for the most majestic mountain vistas you will ever see, all with the support of a highly professional team. I felt safe, well-cared-for, and utterly amazed throughout. Highly recommended for seasoned trekkers or adventurous beginners looking for a unique and stunning EBC experience.

Unforgettable adventure
When my husband and myself made the decision to embark on this great adventure to the Himalayas we came across Babu and his great team with Adventures Great Himalaya & Expedition and we are so thankful that we had them by our side the entire time. From communications all the way from south-africa to traveling, to the actual trek. There was never n second that we were uncertain of anything, no unwanted surprise. They delivered what they promised and so much more. Our guide Arjum and porter “mountain goat” was the best. Not only were they professional but they made us feel welcome and part of the mountains. If we had questions they were eager to answer. We are planning on returning to Nepal in 2027 and won’t even consider going with any other company. Thank you Babu for an unforgettable trip.

Why this scores 61
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 $1800 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 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Everest Base Camp Trek?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Everest Base Camp Trek suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 16. 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 2 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, Classic Everest Base Camp 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.
