Additional Information

The Everest Base Camp Trek lets you explore high-elevation sites visited by just a select group from the global population. Journey along the path taken by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, trekking along the majestic Himalayan ranges which include the world’s tallest peak, Mount Everest (8,848 m). Bask in the enormity of these giants and feel awe-inspired. On your way savor the Sherpa hospitality and culture, immerse in Buddhist spiritualism (evident in the trails decorated with mani stones, chortens, and vibrant prayer flags) and the breathtaking mountain vista.

NOTE: The flights to and from Lukla in Kathmandu shifted routes to the Manthali Airport, Ramechhap district in 2019 & 2020, due to high air traffic in the prime trekking period (Mar, Apr, May, Oct, Nov). As of now, the flights operate directly between Kathmandu and Lukla. An additional cost might apply if airlines don’t provide shuttle services, or if you opt for a private vehicle instead of the shared airline-provided transport.

The price is for 1 person based on two people booking. It is also valid for a single person booking. However, if we don’t have an existing group for your chosen departure date or anyone to share the accommodation with you, a single surcharge of USD 250 is applicable which you need to pay upon your arrival in Nepal. At the time of booking, we will inform you if we have a group or not for your date. The single surcharge is also applicable if you don’t want to join any group and want a solo departure.
Domestic flight luggage allowance: 15 kg

Trip of a Lifetime - The most incredible trip I have ever undertaken. Every day was just breathtaking, in more ways than one! lol! This should be on everyone's 'Bucket List'. I put a lot of work in at the gym in preparation and I am glad I did. It is physically demanding, and you should make sure that you should fully prepare. I would highly recommend ACE the Himalaya, they were so professional, from time of booking to pre-trip briefing and then completion of the trip. We were so well looked after. Many thanks to our lead guide, Milan Adhikari, assistant guides, Hari and Santosh and porters, Ting Ting, Kumar, Krishna and Yam. Not forgetting all the office staff at Ace the Himalaya. Thank you to all of you for making this journey so amazing!
