An Unforgettable Everest View Trek with Shiva

Our Everest View Trek was a wonderful experience, but what made it even more special was having Shiva as our guide. He was more than just a guide. Along the way, he taught us little things about Nepal that we would never have learned on our own. One of my favorite moments was learning a few Nepali words and phrases from him. Shiva patiently taught us how to greet people with "Namaste" say "thank you" with "dhanyawaad" and even helped us practice some everyday Nepali expressions with the locals. It was fun trying them out in the villages and the smiles we received made the experience feel much more personal. He also explained local customs, mountain culture and stories about the villages we passed through. These small details made the trek feel less like simply walking through the Himalayas and more like experiencing Nepal. Thank you to Shiva for his patience, humor and great company throughout the journey. And thanks to Ram and Sublime Trails for arranging everything so smoothly. I came back with beautiful memories, amazing mountain views and a few Nepali words that I will hopefully remember for a long time!

Amazing team and excellent service. 👏

We took the Everest Base Camp trek with Sublime Trails in May 2026, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. My husband and I were extremely happy with how smoothly everything went, from the clear communication beforehand to the incredible views during the trek. The entire trip was well-organized, making it completely stress-free for us. Overall, it was a very good trip and absolutely worth the money we paid. I highly recommend Sublime Trails if you're looking for an amazing, reliable experience in Nepal.

EBC family team

It was the best experience of my life, I was unsure if this trip would fulfill my expectations ( its were high) but definitely it was better than expected, and I can only say that I have achieved this with the best team possible, leading by Prakash our guide, who was like a father/friend during the whole trip. Thank you Pro for making our experience in the Everest the best possible ( although you always beat us playing cards, impossible to be more lucky than you ! 😉)

EBC Trek with Guide Bibek

Cons: Communication could be worked on. Prior to leaving for the plane no communication was sent regarding hotel info or airport pick up or itinerary changes. During departure day from my home country I sent a message regarding hotel info which was needed for visa as well as I was trying to book other trips from trip advisor which needed a hotel location for pick up location, no response, info regarding my new itinerary was also not sent out, I didn’t know changes was made until I got to Namche. Luckily I am a very proactive and did my own research, and these communication issues did not made a huge impact on my end. As once you arrive you are well taken care of! Pros: Booking with sublime you are taken care of during your entire stay. Our guide Bibek was fantastic, he was very caring, he made sure to check in on us when one of us got slightly sick, he was very adaptable and understanding, due to the blizzard we had to change our itinerary multiple times during the trek and he promptly made changes and suggestions and booked tea houses to accommodate the changes. Bibek truly cared for our safety, when there was a warning about the blizzard he immediately suggested to avoid dangerous routes and to wait out the storm. He also went above and beyond by doing off the beaten path events such as going to monasteries to receive blessings, teaching us Dhumbal card games, recommending which cafes to go to, made his best effort to book us rooms with private bathrooms, very knowledgeable about history and culture. Overall, I would definitely recommend booking with sublime and please request Bibek as your guide, you will not be disappointed and you will be well taken care off and have a great time!

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 $1550 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 0.2 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 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 76 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 0.2-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Everest Base Camp Trek?

+

Around 27 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 0.2-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.
