Amazing trip in Nepal!
This 12-day EBC and Cho La Pass trek was an unforgettable experience of a lifetime! Even though we faced some flight delays to Lukla at the very beginning, our amazing guide Ramesh and porter Bhata took such great care of us that we successfully completed the entire journey just as planned. Not only did we stand right by the iconic big rock at Everest Base Camp, but crossing the Cho La Pass treated us to breathtaking alpine lake views, and summiting Gokyo Ri offered a panoramic vista that left us utterly speechless. A huge thank you to Ramesh and Bhata for looking after us every step of the way. Trekking at high altitudes naturally comes with a few physical challenges and occasional discomfort, but they always knew how to handle things professionally and promptly, which gave me immense peace of mind and helped me finish the trek safely and successfully.

Unforgettable EBC trekking experience
We had a great trekking experience with our guide Sukra. He is very experienced and always took good care of us. Our flight to Lukla was cancelled at the beginning, so he quickly changed our plan and arranged a jeep instead. We also had some bad weather during the trek, but he always adjusted the plan quickly according to the situation. We really appreciate everything he did for us. It was an amazing journey and a memory we will never forget. Highly recommended!

10/10 EBC experience, Ask for Sandesh!
Our group did the Luxury 9 day EBC trek taking a helicopter from KTM -> Lukla on the 15th and another coming back from Gorakshep on the 23rd. We had an unforgettable experience with great teahouses and experiences along the way, made possible by our guide Sandesh who was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. He took care of every single detail so we could focus entirely on the experience, and his knowledge of the region, terrain, culture, and history added a richness to the trek that we never expected. He genuinely cared about our wellbeing, keeping a close eye on the whole group and making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable at altitude. If you’re doing the EBC trek, ask for Sandesh by name. He didn’t just guide us to Base Camp — he made the whole journey unforgettable. 10/10 experience, we came out of this excited at the possibility of coming back and exploring other trekking routes in the area

Best Tour Company in Nepal
Six of my friends booked our EBC trekking with Everest Trekking. I worked directly with Rabin throughout the booking process. He was very flexible with everything including changes in accommodation, transportation and even changes in numbers of travelers as we added more people to our group. Rabin always answered all our questions, he even changed our hotels to our liking. Rabin was always available and was very easy to reach and responded promptly. His team including drivers, porters and our guide Sandesh were amazing and had pleasure to work with. Our guide Sandesh was very knowledgeable about everything including each mountain peaks, history, culture and trekking routes. During our stay in Nepal for 2 weeks, Sandesh became our family. We had so much fun with him and it was great to hear about his family, dogs and his other experience. He even takes amazing pictures..:). We had great time with Rabin and Sandesh and it became once in a lifetime tour for us. Definitely memories for lifetime and thanks to Rabin and Sandesh for it. If you are looking for a tour operator for your any trekking in Nepal looking no further than Everest Trekking.

One of the best experience in my life
One of the best experience in my life. I got a private guide and he is been amazing, at my disposal every time. The trekking is been long 12 days, we lost two days course of the flight cancellation, but the staff and the manager quickly have found another solution, we took a jeep to reach Lukla. They also pay for me another night accomodation in Kathmandu, and until the end of my trip in Kathmandu they make me feel at home! I'm really grateful to have invested money with this company because thank to Rabin and Bal, the experience was so much better than I expected

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Everest Base Camp Trekking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Everest Base Camp Trekking cost?
+
Prices start at $1,800 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 Trekking 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 Trekking 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 27 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 Trekking?
+
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 Trekking 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 Trekking?
+
Around 9 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 Trekking 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.

+

What languages is Everest Base Camp Trekking offered in?
+

+
