Additional Information

The Everest Base Camp Trek has a numbers of stunning attractions, it also has some distinct drawbacks which might well deter potential trekkers were is not for the undeniable plus point of being able to say you have been to the highest mountain in the world. the attraction include spectacular scenery and the outgoing Sherpa people of the solu khumbu, the drawbacks include the region. its not until you get right in to the solu khumbu region that the everest trek really gets intresting.the first part of thentrek is not only a hard slog,bit is also pretty aparse in the breath trekking views department ,the hard slog comes about because the trek doesn’t follow valley like the Annapurna treks instead the everest treks cuts across the valley so for day after day it’s a tiring process of droping down one side of a steep valley and climbing up again in the other by the ttime you reach the base camp you r ascents will total almost 9000 meters, the full height of everest from sea level!

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Good choice - Excellent service. Very good value for money compared to other (local) competitors. Subash (owner) is very responsive and effectively helped us with various problems we've faced during the trip (airport re-scheduling, hotels, health advices etc). Company demonstrated High flexibility to adapt to our needs. We've completed EBC + Kala Pathar in May 2024. Happy to recommend them.

ECB trekking with the Exciting Nepal Treks team! - My wife and I embarked on an unforgettable 12-day trek to Everest Base Camp with Exciting Nepal Treks from November 28th to December 9th, 2023. The journey was truly remarkable, leaving an indelible mark on our memories. Subash, orchestrating the logistics, performed exceptionally well. His consistent communication kept us informed about the trip details - from pickup and drop-off schedules in Kathmandu to the essential items we needed to bring along. He promptly and professionally addressed all our queries, ensuring we were well-prepared. Upon our arrival in Kathmandu, we had a comprehensive briefing with Sabash and our guide, Suman. Their meticulousness in highlighting crucial aspects and assessing our gear's readiness was invaluable. Their insight revealed that we had underestimated the severity of the cold weather we might encounter. Sabash and Suman promptly provided us with proper sleeping bags, down jackets, and trekking poles (our original ones were damaged during the flight), which proved to be life-saving! Our guide, Suman, and porter, Tikaram, were exceptional. Both displayed extensive experience and unwavering assistance throughout. Suman attentively looked after my wife, while Tikaram ensured my safety. Along the trek, they generously shared their knowledge of the local cultures, lifestyles, and the region itself. At Namche and Dingboche, they took us to viewpoints for acclimatization, a crucial aid in adjusting to the altitude. Suman and Tikaram were instrumental throughout the trip; we owe our successful journey to their unwavering support. I highly recommend this team to anyone planning a trekking adventure in Nepal.

Genuine and loving team from Exciting Nepal - As a beginner trekker I always dreamed about reaching the foothills of the highest peak in the entire world. I was told that the Everest Base Camp Trek, the highest base camp adventure in the world was not an easy feat, when I reached out to the Exciting Nepal Treks and Expedition they assured me that I could complete this trek with enough preparation. Our trek guide Mr. Bishnu who has years of experience in the Everest region made sure that everyone was feeling comfortable and enjoying the adventure. He made sure to take extra care of the trekkers who were new to the region, our health conditions and oxygen level was monitored on daily basis to see how well we were adapting to the rising altitude. Thanks to the genuine and loving team from Exciting Nepal I was able to live my dream and collect many fond memories in this adventure.

Excellent EBC trek with helicopter return - I did the 9 day trek with helicopter return. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Subash from Exciting Nepal was fantastic in providing information, responding to my many questions, and giving advice. Everything was incredibly well organized. The price is very competitive considering everything you get! They also offered an accommodation upgrade to the best tea houses at an additional cost. I would highly recommend considering this, as we stayed in amazing accommodations. They also provide sleeping bag, feather jacket, and hiking poles included in the price! It was worth every penny and I can't recommend this travel agency enough! The whole experience was excellent. Our guide Basu was great! He went out of his way to make the experience one to never forget! He is knowledgeable, continuously checked up on our health, and ensured we continued at a pace that will give us the best chance of reaching base camp. Thank you Exciting Nepal! You made a dream come true for me.

12/10 Experience with Shasi & Tika - To Everest Base Camp & Helicopter Return! 1000% worth it & best of all the rest!!! - My wife & I did the 10 day EBC Trek & Helicopter return on our Honeymoon, which ended up being private with only us, our Trek Guide & Porter—and what a phenomenal experience it was!!! Subash communicated all the admin planning & was clear, concise, answering every question + providing honest feedback for questions and advice about the entire planned excursion into the Himalayas. Top tier trust & man! That said, our main interactions from being picked up at the Airport was with our Trek Guide—Shasi (Sass-ie) & Tika, our Porter. Shasi was and is a major part of how extraordinary our trek & experience was. Kind, welcoming & always positive, he took us from the Airport to our hotel, hotel to the Office for equipment pick up (duffles, sleeping bags & poles), hotel to airport for our flight to Lukla, introduced us to Tika—our broad smiled, Nepalese singing Porter who was always cracking jokes & is as strong as an ox carrying our duffles & his bag all in one!!! On their fourth trek together—Shasi & Tika are close friends and are the powerhouse of a Guide & Porter combo!!! This trek is 10 days long and strenuous, but with the right guide and Porter to provide absolute reliance, this ended up being one of the highlights of our lives to date. Of course, making it to Base Camp & seeing Everest show herself throughout the hike was both breathtaking & an incredibly humbling reward for the effort made to make it all the way there & back. But this was our hope going in & it did not disappoint!! That said, what we did not expect was to end this hike with tears in our eyes at the thought of having to part ways with the two “brothers” we found in Shasi & Tika. We grew quickly to feel like a small family of 4 & that played a huge role in not only our enjoyment throughout the Trek but in getting us to the end. Endlessly positive & trustworthy, Shasi reviewed everyday with us the night prior, adjusting the timings to make our pace based on each day and our progress as we got closer to Base Camp. He provided us with endless encouragement, support with detailed experience around the altitude & checked on how we were, advising us each day with info to ensure we both made it all the way there safely. To be clear—while fitness can be trained for, the effects of altitude play a massive factor in this trek. It can take a toll on one’s mental will, so having a strong and honest guide is essential for feeling safe and secure as you progress higher and higher. Many other trekkers turned back and did not make it, as this adventure into the Himalayas is strenuous, but as Shasi reminded us hourly & daily—like the Tortoise & Hare fable—slow and steady is the way: “Bistare, bistare.” Not only did Shasi & Tika get us to EBC & on a helicopter back to Lukla, but they—who could not fly back down with us—raced back down through the Mts. at an unbelievable pace & BOTH showed up to reunite with us in Lukla less than 24 hours after we parted with them at Gorek Shep, waving from our helicopter. They are heroes amongst men: Saying goodbyes as we boarded our chopper at 10am on Day 9, they ran back down through all our 8 days of trekking in a matter of 15 straight hours, sleeping 3hrs from 1am to 4am that night & waking to cover the last 3hrs to meet us at 7am in Lukla on Day 10. Tika did not have to come, but his commitment, friendship & bond to Shasi saw him accompany him—and Shasi boarded our return flight from Lukla to Kathmandu WITH US & dropped us at our hotel in a cab he arranged for us. That was our 2nd goodbye!!! But fortune saw us get a 3rd as he re-entered our hotel 4 days later, walking into our hotel lobby to take us to the airport—committed as he was to see us off personally from Nepal. Both of these men became the centre of our adventure & it wouldn’t and COULDN’T have been the same without them!!! If anyone asked us about this trek and wanted to do it themselves, our unwavering reply & advice would be to ONLY do it with Exciting Nepal, as a Company (as there are MANY companies to pick from), but more importantly, SPECIFICALLY with the request for Shasi & Tika!!! We can never forget all the little & large gestures they did for us & forever will their names and memories bring warmth to our hearts and broad smiles to our faces (like Tika’s every morning)! Though we said it 100x in as many ways as we could: Thank you, Shasi. Thank you, Tika. You both are extraordinary, kind, and strong men for all that you do. Thank you, Subash & Exciting Nepal for the trek & opportunity to pursue such an adventure … but thank you MORE for giving us these two men. We will never forget you & all that you taught us! Though only they will get this inside joke: “Thank you & welcome to Nepal!”

Excellent Experience! Highly Recommend - The trip was once in a lifetime opportunity. Subash was excellent in making sure we had the best experience possible. Due to Covid and personal reasons we were planning this trip for nearly 4 years and he was both patient and informative. I also like the flexibility in the schedule. We didn't have much time in Nepal so we shortened our trip to have no rest days (I don't recommend this but was good to have the option because of the time constraint that we had). The sherpa (Shasi) and the two porters (Surat and Devon) were fantastic as well. Very knowledgeable and proud of their country. They provided excellent service and made the experience that much more enjoyable. When members of our group became ill, due to altitude, they were quick to respond and knew the proper remedies to help with the situation. Overall very good service and would recommend them to anyone going on a hike in Nepal! The only thing to watch (which is NOT the company's fault) is transportation from Lukla airport. The airport was not operating regularly for 5 days and we had our international flight leaving the next day. The closed airport left over 2,000 people starting or ending their hike stranded. So depending on your trip itinerary you may need to hire a helicopter to get you to or from (which can get pricey).

Everest Base Camp Review - Just finished my Everest Base Camp trek with Exciting Nepal and they were amazing throughout the trip. The monsoon trip was a little hectic to manage but all thanks to the team, it went by very smoothly. The trails were quite serene and walking through the Himalayas within such a serene environment was a dream. Definitely recommend them if you want to do EBC!! Done - August 2023 With - Friends

EBC Trek - Very well well-organized trip with an Exciting Nepal trek. W had to change our plan to the Everest base camp trek at the last minute. We arrived earlier than expected, and Mr subash changed our plans with no issues. Everything was well organized for us, from picking us up at the airport to dropping us off. The journey itself was an extraordinary adventure. Our guide, Basu, left a lasting impression on us, and we cannot speak highly enough of him. He provided us with valuable insights about the trip and offered recommendations on local cuisine and beverages. Throughout the ascent to Kala Pathar, he demonstrated remarkable patience and assisted us in reaching the summit. He truly made our trip unforgettable.
