The Everest base camp trek is one of the finest itineraries, including ample acclimatization days and two full days in Kathmandu. This holiday itinerary is for travelers looking for the best way to trek to the lap of Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world.
The Everest base camp trip explores the Himalayan trail, specifically the Khumbu region of Nepal. The adventurous trail ascends through dense forests, picturesque villages, and lush foothills.
Choose Outfitter Himalaya for your Everest base camp holiday and walk to the lap of the highest mountain in the world. Our expert team, with over two decades of experience in Nepal's tourism industry, will guide you on one of the most adventurous trips of your life. We offer the best Everest base camp trek cost with exceptional service.
Outfitter Himalaya offers many Everest base camp packages, but we highly suggest the 16-day Trek because of its gentle pace. Overall, the Trek is moderate to challenging and gets difficult as you approach the high elevation.
The lodges' facilities are limited at the upper part of the trail, and the thin air makes the walking more exhausting than it is. However, the panoramic views of the giant mountains and the welcoming locals will push you to move forward.
The Everest region is not just about the mountains; it's also home to the famous Sherpas and other ethnic groups like Rai, Limbu, and Bhotiya. Hiking to the Everest base camp allows you to spend time with these people, understand their unique lifestyles, and immerse yourself in their rich cultural heritage.
The Trek also offers an insight into the rich cultural heritage of the locals. On the way, you visit ancient monasteries like Tengboche (3,860 m) and Pangboche (3,985 m).
Attractions of the Everest Base Camp Trek
The flight between Kathmandu and Lukla airport
The Kathmandu to Lukla flight is one of the most nerve-racking flights that one can go on. Flying through green hills and high mountains, you land on a small runway 2,860 meters above sea level.
It's the kind of landing that makes the passengers clap. The aerial mountain views during the flight make it even more special.
The Best itinerary to EBC for travelers in no rush
Unlike other EBC trek itineraries, our 16-day Everest base camp trek is more easygoing. We take our time exploring Kathmandu and spend many days in the mountains.
The itinerary has enough rest days, allowing trekkers to enjoy every second on the trail without rushing.
Trek in the Sagarmatha National Park
From Monjo village onwards, we begin trekking in the Sagarmatha National Park, which extends up to EBC and beyond. The national park has numerous flora and fauna, so we may encounter a handful while trekking.
The 16-day Everest Base Camp trail goes through rhododendron, birch, juniper, pine forests, etc. We cross streams and rivers. We spend the nights trekking in many small and big villages along the way. Not only that, in the upper part of the Everest Base Camp trek route, we explore moraines, glaciers, and icefall.
Explore the homes and cultures of Sherpas.
One of the major highlights of Everest Base Camp trekking is the Sherpa people. Khumbu region is home to Sherpas. We see their daily lifestyle while trekking through villages like Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche. This Trek lets us know the Sherpas closely and offers us intimate encounters with them.
Ancient monasteries visit
The Everest base camp trek route is rich in monasteries, stupas, prayer wheels, chortens, and prayer flags. You may see stupas in every village. Tengboche monastery is the biggest monastery in the Khumbu region that you visit in the Tengboche village.
Pangboche Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in the region. Both monasteries date back to ancient times.
Enjoy the serenity and Great Mountain views.
Everest base camp hiking adventure is renowned for its heavenly landscapes and endless mountain views. The trekking experience this particular trial offers has won the hearts of millions of trekkers, making it the most famous Trek in the world.

Likewise, the change in scenery as the elevation increases will encourage you to trek. You ascend to multiple viewpoints like Hotel Everest View (3,962 m), Nagarjuna Hill (5,100 m), and Kala Patthar (5,644 m) to witness breathtaking mountain landscapes. You also seTrekrgeous waterfalls, glaciers, and icefalls during the Trek.
Reach Everest Base Camp and hike further up to Kala Patthar.
Everest base camp is situated at 5,364 meters and is part of a moving glacier. We do not spend a night at base camp because there is no accommodation facility, so we descend to Gorak Shep.
The following day, we hike to Kala Patthar, the highest point of our Trek, which offers 360-degree views of the mountains. Other giant mountains block Mt. Everest's view at the base camp, so we hike to Kala Parrhar to witness its majestic beauty.
