About the Everest Base Camp Trek
This 15-day trek to Everest Base Camp takes you into the heart of the Khumbu (the local name for the Everest Region), home to the renowned Sherpa people, and to the base of the world's highest mountain—Mount Everest (8,848 m / 29,028 ft).
Starting your trek from Lukla, well-known for its high-altitude airport, the tour to Everest Base Camp is a challenging trek through stunningly beautiful scenery—from the rivers and forests of the lower sections to the snow and ice in the higher reaches. Surrounded by some of the highest mountains in the world, you'll witness Mother Nature's grandeur firsthand. The Tibetan name for Everest, Chomolungma, means “Mother Goddess of the World.”
Highlights
Stand at Everest's Foot, 5,364 m Up
Everest Base Camp sits on the Khumbu Glacier at 5,364 meters, the same moraine from which Hillary and Tenzing launched the first ascent in 1953. No summit permit required to reach it.
Closest Unrestricted View of Everest's Summit
Kala Patthar (5,644 m) puts Everest's summit pyramid directly in front of you at eye level, with Lhotse, Nuptse, and Cho Oyu visible in the same pre-dawn frame.
Land at the World's Most Thrilling Airport
Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla has a 527-metre runway that ends at a cliff edge — the 35-minute flight from Kathmandu is one of the most dramatic landings in commercial aviation, and the trek starts the moment the wheels stop.
Morning Puja at Tengboche, 3,867 m
Tengboche Monastery is the highest functioning gompa in the Khumbu, where resident monks lead daily ceremonies against a direct sightline to Ama Dablam. Trekkers are welcome to sit in.

Make no mistake, the Mount Everest Base Camp 15-day trek is not easy! EBC trek is a hard to challenging trek, and a good level of general fitness is required to complete it. That said, people of all ages and abilities have done this trek successfully. Let’s take a closer look:
Overall Difficulty
Hard! We recommend starting or increasing your fitness routine several months before arriving in Nepal. People often underestimate the number of ascents and descents involved while hiking in the Himalayas. Remember, those downhills are extremely hard on the knees!
What makes it so hard, aside from those ups and downs, is the altitude and the long hours spent on the trail, which are to be taken seriously. With around 5 to 6 hours a day of trekking—and some even longer days—at altitudes up to 5,160 m / 16,929 ft, this is a high-altitude trek, with most nights spent above 3,500 m / 11,482 ft. You’ll feel breathless, exhausted, tired, and sore a lot of the time—but also filled with awe, achievement, and reverence.
Beginner Friendly?
While it is a hard trek, many reach Everest Base Camp with little or no prior trekking experience. As long as you are physically fit and can squeeze in more time at the gym or hiking around your area before you come, it is doable. We do recommend that beginners (or those with pre-existing medical conditions) check with their doctors before coming to Nepal for a green light to trek at such a high altitude. We also offer other, lower-altitude and less strenuous treks for those who would find this trek too challenging.
