Our group will explore the exotic city of Kathmandu before flying into the remote mountain town of Lukla (9,350 feet) to begin our trek into the Khumbu region of the Himalayas.

We follow an ancient route through tiny villages, across high mountain passes, and through remote valleys. The views of the Himalayas are awe-inspiring as we venture up the Dudh Kosi River to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to the Khumbu region at 11,300 feet. We spend one night next to the Tengboche monastery (12,887 feet), which has spectacular views of Ama Dablam, Mt. Everest, and Lhotse.

We’ll meet the friendly Nepali people and soak up the sights and sounds of Sherpa village life while staying in comfortable lodges called teahouses for our entire trek.

From there, it’s on to the stunning rocky outcrop of Kala Patar (18,192 feet) where we feast on awesome views of the south face of Everest. We’ll trek to Everest Base Camp and get a first-hand look at expeditions preparing for their summit attempts in this spectacular and historical setting.

Dates & Pricing

The earlier you book, the more choices you have of available dates. Prices are based on double occupancy.

New for our 2026 treks: We’ve elevated your experience by upgrading to two nights at the deluxe Mountain Lodges of Nepal—Lukla Lodge. We’ve also incorporated a unique opportunity to travel by helicopter from Pheriche (a village below Everest Base Camp) back to Lukla (the trek endpoint). Here are a few reasons we added this helicopter flight:

  • Stunning Aerial Views: Fly over the massive Khumbu Glacier and see the route you just hiked, surrounded by the world’s tallest peaks from a whole new perspective.
  • Save Time: Shorten your trek by three days without missing anything you haven’t already seen on the way up.
  • Perfect Finale: Avoid retracing your steps on a long (grueling) descent and end your journey on an unforgettable high note!

Qualifications: Qualifications: The trek to Everest Base Camp is strenuous and you should be in excellent physical condition. It does not require that you have any previous trekking or mountaineering experience. You should be equipped with a spirit of adventure and a willingness to undergo the potential hardships of long days on the trail.

Trip includes: 3 scheduled hotel nights in Kathmandu, selected sightseeing in Kathmandu, a professionally guided trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp, porters and yaks to carry your gear on trek, all meals while on the trek, and select meals in Kathmandu.

Trip does not include: Internal airfare from Kathmandu to Lukla, and helicopter return from Pheriche (a village below Everst Base Camp) to Lukla (this internal airfare is mandatory for the trip, and we will book it for you), medical rescue insurance, and additional/emergency helicopter transport (for medical reasons or unforeseen weather delays).
