I can only recommend doing this trek with the Eco Holidays Nepal team, everything was organized perfectly, our guide was very flexible and we did not have to stick exactly to the plan. Cannot wait for the next trek together with this team to Annapurna base camp.

Everest base camp trek and Kathmandu sightseeing
My friend and I booked to do Everest base camp trek with gokyo lakes and gokyo ri with eco holidays. Dhruba and his team were amazing! Always replying to emails straight away before we left and he greeted us at the airport with no problems made us feel really welcome and took us to the hotel. He explained everything so well and made sure we had everything we needed. Our guide Bipan came to meet us the day before and took us on an incredible experience in the Himalayas and looked after us really well. Everything was made so easy for us and we can't thank them enough. The hotels Dhruba put us in were really nice and in great locations. We also got a day sightseeing in Kathmandu with a great guide who spoke great English and knew lots of information. Would definitely do another trip with Dhruba and his team again, no complaints at all. :)
Response from the operator: Dear Kate, Namaste from Eco Holidays Nepal. Thank you so much for your good review about our service given by our Guide and our Team Hopefully, We will get chance to serve you in next trek.

Amazing trekking experience
The Everest Base Camp Trekking was one of its own kind. It was the most challenging and adventurous trek I have ever been to & it was fun because of Eco Holiday. Those 16 days were awesome; well, I can say it was ‘Something Else’ to me. Suman Lama - What a guy he was; I must say my guide was a real professional. Eco Holidays offers you a complete package that you won’t get anywhere else. Thank You Eco Holidays for the wonderful memories. I would definitely recommend this company to everyone.
Response from the operator: Dear Anjalipar, , Thanks for your excellent review about our services given by our guide and Team. Hopefully, we will get chance to serve you.

Everest Base Camp Trek for Seniors: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Everest Base Camp Trek for Seniors cost?
+
Prices start at $2,350 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 Seniors take?
+
Plan for about 384 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 Seniors worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 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 Seniors?
+
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 Seniors suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 384-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Everest Base Camp Trek for Seniors?
+
Around 6 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 384-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Everest Base Camp Trek for Seniors 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.
