The Everest Base Camp trek is one of Nepal’s most iconic adventures, offering an incredible mix of natural beauty and cultural encounters. This 14-day journey begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, followed by a trek through picturesque Sherpa villages such as Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Dingboche. Each day rewards you with closer views of the mighty Himalayas and insights into Sherpa traditions. The trek’s main highlights include standing at Everest Base Camp, surrounded by towering peaks, and hiking up Kala Patthar at 5,550 meters. From here, you’ll enjoy a breathtaking sunrise and panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and other giants of the Khumbu region. Though the trek is graded moderate to difficult, with physical preparation and determination, it is achievable. The best seasons are spring and autumn, when skies are clear and mountain views at their finest. This journey offers adventure, challenge, and unforgettable memories.

Excellent Company For Your Trek
Third Rock Adventures was great to work with during all aspects of the trip. They customized my itinerary for my unique needs and interests. My guide, Pasang, was knowledgeable about the trail and region. He took great care of me during an episode of altitude sickness. The company continued to provide excellent care after the trip. As a client I consistently felt like I was in good hands. I highly recommend them!

EBC via Cho La Pass Trek
I just finished the EBC trek via Cho La Pass, and it was incredible. Naba and his team answered every question quickly and shared a very thorough itinerary that made planning easy. Our guide, Nirmal, was fantastic—professional, attentive, and always looking out for us. When weather and trail conditions changed, he adapted the plan seamlessly. I’d absolutely recommend this company for any trek and would happily book with them again.

EBC with third rock adventures
3rd Rock adventures are well organised and a very friendly team. Nirmal our guide and also our Porter got us through the hardest days I have ever experienced. Not only was the day to day running of the tour exceptional, when I had to leave the tour due to illness and take a helicopter back to Kathmandu, the process was extremely efficient and painless. 3rd Rock have their own helicopter retrieval coordinator and the whole process was very efficient indeed. They even went above and beyond the call of duty when I had my 50th birthday in the village and they sang me happy birthday and made me a cake. I would not hesitate to book again with Naba and the team.

Another great experience with Third Rock Adventures
Had an amazing time on my second trek with Third Rock Adventures. Really appreciated the support from our guide Iswor who was excellent, always professional and made sure we reached EBC safely.

Excellent with unparalleled customer service.
The absolute best trip. Third Rock Adventures are just brilliant. Always accessible to answer questions, from Naba to Ujawal, the manger, nothing was too much to ask. Our EBC trip was made even more magical by our guide, Dharma. Patient,calm, funny, always willing to help, checking up on us constantly to make sure we were ok. Predicting the weather and making the right calls and being spot on. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our family. The porters, Tilak and Ajaya, employed by Third Rock Adventures were excellent and wonderful people. The city tour provided by Third Rock was just as excellent. Our guide Jaya so knowledgeable and interesting. I can’t recommend Third Rock Adventures enough. We will never use any other operator in Nepal. Every little detail is thought about to make it the most seamless experience. Book Third Rock Adventures!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Everest Base Camp Trek for 14 days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Everest Base Camp Trek for 14 days cost?
+
Prices start at $1,799 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 for 14 days 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 for 14 days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 66 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 for 14 days?
+
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 for 14 days 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 for 14 days?
+
Around 23 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 for 14 days 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 Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. 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.
