Everest Base Camp Trekking will give us massive pleasure to introduce you to an amazing Mt. Everest view of the world's highest peak. Perhaps in viewing Everest in this way, you will be satisfying a long detained wish. Without hesitation you will never be quite the same again. Forever since the days of early climbing Everest expeditions, this 8,848m mountain has had a lure of its own, drawing climbers to scale it and trekkers to look on its icy faces. We begin our trek from Lukla after a 30 minute flight from Kathmandu. When we land at that miniature airstrip of Lukla, the adventure really begins. During trekking, we spend several days moving through the homelands of the Sherpa people, and will see Buddhist monasteries in Tengboche, Panboche and close up views of Mt. Everest and adjoining Ama Dablam, measured by many to be among the most attractive mountains in Nepal.

    Green Valley budget prices with premium service 5*

    I cannot recommend Green Valley enough! Even before booking the communication from Arjun was excellent, great knowledge and always a quick response to all enquiries with no pressure to process a booking. Everything was very well organised in terms of logistics from airport pick up to the hotel (which is also great) nothing was ever too much trouble. Then onto the trek Sauman my guide was very knowledgeable and as a solo traveller made the experience much easier being able to have a laugh along the way. My porter Rames (sorry if incorrectly spelt) the porters do a fantastic job on something so physically demanding they make it look easy haha I would like to thank everyone at Green Valley for making this whole trip much more enjoyable 🙏

    The best!!!

    Had an absolutely wonderful experience with Green Valley! Every detail of the trip was arranged flawlessly and I felt I was in the best of hands from the beginning. My tour guides, Anil and Prashant, were FANTASTIC: exceptionally attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help. Everything from transport, accommodations, meals, scheduling, etc was arranged wonderfully. I highly, highly recommend Green Valley and could not have had a better experience with them. Thank you!!!

    Everest Base Camp: A dream come true, thanks to Green Valley!

    I can't say enough good things about Green Valley as a company and coordinator for my first trek as an older solo female traveler. They took care of all the logistics, encouraged me, looked after my health and safety, responded to unexpected delays, and provided everything you could want in a trekking company. Raj, my guide, was amazing, kind, and wise, and it was a pleasure to experience the spectacular Himalayas with him by my side. Each day, I was supported by Raj and my young, strong porter, as we made our way to Everest Base Camp. Reaching EBC was a dream come true, and I couldn't have done it without their expertise, encouragement, and help. I recommend Green Valley without reservation and already planning a second trek with Green Valley. Namaste!

    An unforgettable experience

    My husband and I did the Gokyo lakes and Cho La Pass with EBC and had a fantastic time from start to finish. The team really looks after you. Our tour guide Bishwa, was incredible. He had so much knowledge and experience about the area. He kept us safe the whole time and had our best interest first. Due to the weather, we had to make changes to our original plan, but Bishwa put in 200% to make sure we got the best experience. We got to do it all without having to add an extra day to our trip. It was genuinely a life changing experience that we will never forget. The people, the culture and the views were spectacular!

    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 $1,700 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 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 575 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    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 201 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 is included in Everest Base Camp Trekking?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; Dinner; and Accommodation in Kathmandu *2 Nights. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Everest Base Camp Trekking include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 1440 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Everest Base Camp Trekking offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Everest Base Camp Trekking?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Everest Base Camp Trekking wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Everest Base Camp Trekking if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Kathmandu. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Everest Base Camp Trekking?
