- Trip note
- It is important to be noted that the Kathmandu -Lukla - Kathmandu flights often gets delayed by hours or even gets cancelled for a day or few days due to unfavorable weather conditions in the mountain airstrip Lukla. Such unfavorable conditions may arise even during the best seasons including months October and November hence inis always better to prepare ahead. In such cases, you must be prepared for long waits either at Kathmandu or Lukla airports, as this can happen either at the start or at the end of the trek and sometime in both cases.
- We will do our best to avoid such delays, and arrange the earliest next flight for you but it might not always work well as there are many people in que for days long. In case of emergencies and need of urgent flight, the Helicopter rescue can be another option to escape to and from the mountain, except for some bad weather the Helicopters always have easy excess in the mountains. This can be arranged upon your request with some additional cost which sometime is covered by your insurance as well. The Helicopter can be chartered from both the airports, Kathmandu and Lukla with the tentative cost of US$ 3000 per lift which at a time can accommodate maximum of 5 Person.
- Having said this, we still suggest you to mentally prepare for possible delay/cancellations and arrange some extra contingency days which we can save for the end of the trip and if everything goes normal these days can be utilized for exploring other beautiful destinations around the valley as per your interest and we, the Adventure Bound is always there to provide you different options to utilize the days in best ways.

Geat guide and genuine care
What a great experience I had with with Adventure Bound trekking company on my Everest Base Camp trip. Everything was well organized, and Raj the guide was super helpful. He is a real rockstar! He even lent me their own spikes for crossing Cho La Pass, which I really appreciated. Reliable, down to earth and easy to trust people and company. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent to do the Everest Base Camp trek
Laxman the business owner made the effort to come to our hotel to present his offer. The service he offered was clear and well detailed. We had 2 nights in Namche Bazar and Dingboche which was very important to allow for high altitude acclimatization in order to avoid Acute Mountain Sickness. The day before departure, Laxman and our guide Raman came to our hotel to look at our gear. We were provided with duffle bags for the porter, down jackets and sleeping bags. Then we went shopping with our guide to buy crampons, Nalgene bottles, wind jacket, trek pants, water sanitation pills and trekking poles. Raman helped us pack just what we needed, not more, not less. I decided to do this trek after watching the movie Everest about the 1996 tragedy. I was able to relive the first part of the movie, through the Nepal scenic, the suspended bridges, the yaks, the stairs, tea houses, helicopters… I took so many great photos. I am 65yo and I found the trek hard, spending most of the time walking or resting, not much time for socializing, but I did it and it was an unforgettable and unbelievable experience. With the company of Ramon I found myself very safe and in competent hands.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear your Everest Base Camp trek was well organized and felt safe, especially with careful acclimatization, gear preparation, and guidance throughout the journey. It’s great to know that Raman’s support and experience helped you complete such a demanding trek and turn it into an unforgettable achievement. Thank you for trekking with Adventure Bound.

Best Trek I have done so far
I was already hyped for the Trek and still, it was better than I imagined. Trekking to EBC for 10 days was obviously no vacation with 4 Star hotels, but it was still worth every penny. The landscapes, the people and our guide Santosh were a 10/10. We also had some issues because of the weather, but Adventure bound made it possible that we could do all the things we really wanted. It was a hard trek but I’d recommend it to everyone and I will definitely visit Nepal again! Thanks.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad the Everest Base Camp trek exceeded your expectations. Challenging conditions, changing weather, and real mountain life are all part of the journey, and it’s great to know Santosh’s guidance and our team’s support helped you achieve what you came for. Thank you for the recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back to Nepal.

good guide
My shoes broke before we crossed the pass, but our guide, Raj, arranged for me to speak to the owner and get new shoes, so I was able to continue my journey. Our guide, Raj, is a very kind person and well-known, so I was able to make friends with the other guides and staff at the hut, and I had a great time on this mountain trip.
Response from the operator: Dear Client, Namaste and thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very happy to hear that Raj was able to help you quickly with the shoe issue and ensure your trek continued smoothly. It’s wonderful that his kindness and connections made your mountain journey even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Nepal again. Warm regards, Adventure Bound Nepal

Everest Base Camp + Gokyo Lake Trek
In September I completed the trekking tour to Everest Base Camp and continued on to the Gokyo Lakes. These 17 days were truly unforgettable – the stunning nature, the delicious food along the way, and the encounters with wonderful people made this journey an absolute dream. I was especially lucky to have Rabin as my guide. From the very beginning he was professional, reliable, and always attentive. He shared so much knowledge about the mountains, made sure I felt safe at all times, and guided me through the Himalayas with great care. Thanks to him I was able to enjoy the trek fully and without worries. I can highly recommend Rabin to anyone planning a trek in Nepal with him, you are in the best hands.
Response from the operator: Dear Josefine, Namaste and thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience. We’re delighted to hear that your Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes trek was unforgettable and that you enjoyed the nature, food, and the people along the way. We’re especially glad to know that Rabin made your 17-day journey safe, comfortable, and memorable. He will be very happy to hear your kind words. Thank you for recommending him and for choosing Adventure Bound Nepal. We hope to welcome you back to the Himalayas for another adventure soon! Warm regards, Adventure Bound Nepal

Why this scores 75
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 $1290 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 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 58 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife 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 15. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Everest Base Camp Trek?
+
Around 20 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.
