Wonderful team

I've traveled with Incredible Treks many times, I think many times can say it all by itself :) They are very helpful, supportive and can make you feel at ease especially when you did a challenge trek like EBC. My favorite guide is Krishna but anyway his team are incredible.

Amazing EBC Experience with Incredible Trek

Had a great EBC trekking experience with Incredible Trek and Tours. Everything was well organized and the team took great care of us throughout the trip. Special thanks to our guide Ram for being patient, kind, and supportive, and to our porter Tiras for all his hard work and positive energy every day. Highly recommend for anyone planning the EBC trek!

Best experiences to EBC trip

We made it to the EBC!! Thank you Incredible Treks and Tours so much for this well managed and a smooth journey for both of us for the very first time of our trek to EBC. Also, thank you so much Ram, he was our lovely guide throughout the trip. He was very well prepared and approachable. Thank you so much for taking a good care of us since day one til the last day of the trip. Thanks for all your guidance with care. We really appreciate all your help and support. I would definitely come back and choose Incredible treks over and all over again. Thank you for all the services. See you next time 💕

An amazing and unforgetable experience to add to the memories!

My trek to Everest Base Camp was nothing short of a dream come true, and that is entirely thanks to my Trekking guide, Lo and the team. From start to finish he helped to make this challenging adventure feel not only achievable but deeply enjoyable and very meaningful to say the least.

The views along the trail were unreal and breathtaking from the towering peaks to some of the amazing valleys. The knowledge of the mountains, local culture, and the landscape was outstanding. Lo explained everything with such clarity, patience, enthusiasm, which helped make it not just an amazing experience but a lesson as such also.

What stood out the most on the trip, was the care and attention that we were shown throughout the entire trek. Whether it was checking on how I was feeling, adjusting the pace to make sure I was doing alright, or offering encouragement throughout the Trek. Lo consistently went above and beyond. I always felt safe, supported and amazed.

Thanks to Incredible Treks for making what once felt like a dream to become a reality. Reaching Base Camp was one of the most unforgettable moments of my life, and I couldn’t have done it without the guidance and expertise.

If you’re considering trekking in Nepal, I cannot recommend this package highly enough. The whole team were professional, incredibly knowledgeable, kind and genuinely passionate about what they do. My journey not only successful but truly extraordinary.

Poor quality guide

A well organised trip, the contact was very quick to respond before and during our trip. I came down with altitude sickness at the end of day four. I had a migraine, no appetite and fell asleep at dinner. Symptoms didn't improve the next day and the guide encouraged me to continue rather than thinking about my safety. The guide spoke little English and didn't add much to the trip. This still gets 3 star because our contact arranged an earlier flight back to Kathmandhu for me.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We were quite surprised to receive this feedback, especially since you are aware that the need to return was due to your own health condition, yet the guide was blamed for it. Please note that your friend, who succesfully completed the trek, has already given us a 5* review and praised the guide's service wholeheartedly. He reviewed us thru Kyle_S. You mentioned that the guide encouraged you to continue trekking despite your health issues. In fact, the guide advised you to rest for an extra day and only continue if your condition improved, otherwise, he recommended returning. It seems there may have been a misunderstanding, in fact he gave you the option. He suggested this because he understood this was your dream destination and that you had invested significant time and money to be here, he didn't want your plan to be ruined. Regarding the guide's English, please understand that it is not our mother tongue. Nonetheless, we always do our best to communicate clearly and support our clients. Thank you for sharing your experience; we fully respect your perspective. If you plan to visit Nepal again in the future, we hope you will consider trekking with us once more. Have a wonderful day !!!

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 $1450 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 288 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 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 149 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.

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?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.

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

+

Around 52 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 288-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 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.
