A great trip despite the clouds and poor visibility.
The weather was very cloudy in late September, and we had to interrupt the trip when we reached Nemche Bazaar,as the visibility went down to 50 m. for a long period of time and viewing the peaks were partially available for a very short window of time in the early morning. Our guide Rinji Sherpa was excellent and very friendly and adjusted the progression and the trek to our pace. Our porter also called Rinji was very pleasant and efficient. We had to wait one extra day in Lukla as the plane for Kathmandu could not land due to the clouds and no visibility. Despite the delays and problematic visualisation of the peaks, we had a great time and really enjoyed the company of our guide Rinji Sherpa, who is incredibly experienced, and of our porter Rinji, always smiling. We plan to come back when the weather is better!

Fantastic trip to Everest base camp
We had such a fantastic time with Happyland treks!! Bimal was so helpful and welcoming to us. He helped us in Kathmandu with great restaurants and accommodation aswell as providing us with everything for our trip to Everest base camp. We stayed in lovely tea houses along the way and everyone was so friendly. Our guide Ngawang was just wow, always made sure we had enough food, water and that we felt well. Couldn't recommend Happyland enough!
Response from the operator: Hello, Aedin Greetings from Nepal. and thank you very much for sharing your trekking holiday experience at Everest base camp. we're very glad that you had a great experience with our arrangement and our guide Ngawang. Thanks again.

Unforgettable and memorable trekking
I had the solo EBC trekking in May, and I want to extend my greatest attitudes to Happyland Treks. Bimal is such a nice person and organizes everything ready for me, which makes my trip comfortable and enjoyable. Happyland is a trustworthy travel agent, whether you travel solo or in group, just choose Happyland and they will never let you down. Will be back to Nepal for ACT trekking at my next long holiday, hello, Happyland, see you soon😊
Response from the operator: Respected client Tongs! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback. We highly appreciated your valuable reviews. We're looking forward to seeing you soon. Best Regards Happyland Treks

Everest Base Camp Trekking
I have visited Trekking to Everest Base Camp through Happyland Treks and the trip was great to visit at Everest Base Camp. The team members are very co-operative during trip for the hygienic food,route guide, sight seeing, caring, etc and it happens only due to the organizer Mr. Bimal Dahal.

Unbelievable
I completed the Everest Base Camp Trek with four friends in May 2022. We organised the trip through Happyland treks with Bimal and Pramish as our guides. Bimal and Pramish were amazing! They kept us entertained throughout the trip, constantly providing us with information and craic!! Would highly recommend anyone thinking of doing Everest Base Camp to book it through Happyland Treks!!! Best trip ever!! Thank you Bimal and Pramish 🇮🇪🗻

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Trek to Everest Base Camp: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Trek to Everest Base Camp cost?
+
Prices start at $1,597 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 Trek to Everest Base Camp 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 Trek to Everest Base Camp worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 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 Trek to Everest Base Camp?
+
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 Trek to Everest Base Camp 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 Trek to Everest Base Camp?
+
Around 3 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 Trek to Everest Base Camp 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 Trek to Everest Base Camp?
+
Included: Welcome drinks and farewell dinner; Guide - English speaking guide; Porter - 1 porter for 2 clients; All government and local taxes; and Dinner. Not included: Travel medical insurance, & emergency evacuation cost; Any food and drinks in the mountains; Nepal entry visa fee and international airfare; and Personal equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 29 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 720 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Trek to Everest Base Camp 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 Trek to Everest Base Camp?
+
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.
What happens to Trek to Everest Base Camp 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.
