    Best holiday I ever had!

    This was the second time we came to Nepal with Himalayan Adventure and both times it was an amazing experience. We’ve done Mardi Himal and this time the Everest Base Camp trek. Our guide Prakesh was excellent throughout the trip and he went above and beyond to make sure we are okay and enjoying the trip. I fell sick early on and we had to schedule an additional day of rest but he managed to re-organise the rest of the trip so very thankful for that. The trek itself is absolutely stunning! Beautiful views and such a unique experience to be in Nepal and surrounded by these mountains. Nepalese people are truly the kindest people I’ve ever met and I hope to return there again in the future. Thank you to Prakesh and Bhagwat for the best holiday I ever had! Can’t wait to come back. 😊

    Response from the operator: Dear Jack, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your review of our company. We are truly delighted to hear your positive feedback regarding our services and hospitality. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and motivate us to continue improving and delivering the highest standard of service in the future. We sincerely hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to this beautiful country again on your next visit. With regards, Bhagwat Simkhada

    Everest Gokyo Lake Trek -13 Days: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Everest Gokyo Lake Trek -13 Days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,600 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 Gokyo Lake Trek -13 Days take?

    +

    Plan for about 312 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 Gokyo Lake Trek -13 Days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Gokyo Lake Trek -13 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 Gokyo Lake Trek -13 Days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 312-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Everest Gokyo Lake Trek -13 Days?

    +

    Around 1 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 312-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Everest Gokyo Lake Trek -13 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.

    What is included in Everest Gokyo Lake Trek -13 Days?

    Included: Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) Permit and Khumbu valley fees; Pick up from Airport and Transfer to the hotel by private vehicle; Last Night farewell dinner at authentic Nepalese restaurant with cultural performance; Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: Nepal Visa fee you may obtain easily in Kathmandu airport; International airfare to and from Kathmandu; Extra night Hotel accommodation in Kathmandu because of early arrival, late departure, ear; and All meals in Kathmandu and trekking (and also in the case of early return from mountain th.

    Where is the meeting point for Everest Gokyo Lake Trek -13 Days?

    +

    Pick up from Airport and Transfer to the hotel. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Everest Gokyo Lake Trek -13 Days offered in?

    +

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

    +

    What happens to Everest Gokyo Lake Trek -13 Days if the weather is bad?
