In an emergency, our guides are vigilant and stay in contact with the head office in Kathmandu, which is open around the clock to make necessary arrangements, such as arranging for horses, mules, or helicopters, especially in situations when a customer is really ill on the mountain and has to be taken to the hospital. Is there an oxygen supply if needed? Yes, higher-altitude guesthouses like Lobuche and Gorak Shep provide oxygen upon request for an additional fee. Since oxygen can be expensive, we advise getting travel insurance so you can be reimbursed. For an additional USD 150 per tank, we can arrange for pre-arranged oxygen to be brought with you on your hike from Namche to higher altitudes. Will the guides have a first-aid kit?

Route

Your arrival at Nepal’s Tribhuvan International Airport is the first step towards embarking on the Everest Trek. Once you reach the airport, you will meet our team and your guide, who will drop you off at the hotel and give you a brief overview and information regarding your upcoming days.

Your 14-day trek to Mount Everest base camp starts with a brief, scenic flight to Lukla, a beautiful town. You will meet the hospitable Sherpa people, who are recognized for their rich culture and welcoming nature, while also indulging in a great breakfast here. In peak seasons like spring and autumn, direct flights to Lukla from Kathmandu might not be available due to the increase in the number of travelers. In such a case, the route will be from Kathmandu to Ramechhap by local bus or jeep, which will approximately take 6 to 7 hours. Then, we will be taking a flight to Lukla from Ramechhap.

The route to EBC begins on the banks of the Dudh Koshi River and travels to Namche Bazaar via the Sagarmatha National Park. Known as an acclimatization destination, Namche serves as the primary trade hub in the Everest area.

Although the trek is difficult, the breathtaking views of the mountains, hills, farms, and lush woods will motivate you to continue. After a day of acclimatization, you will leave Namche Bazaar and resume our EBC trek to Porsche.

The next morning, you will hike from Porsche to Dingboche. After a day of acclimatization in Dingboche, we will resume our hike the following morning and finally go towards Lobuche. You will be able to observe several peaks, including Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Ama Dablam, while hiking.

You will trek up Kala Patthar the next day to witness the dawn over Mt. Everest and other peaks. You will take some time to take in the view before making your way back to Gorak Shep and then down to Pheriche Village.

We go back the same way to Pheriche, via lush pine and rhododendron woods, and on to Namche. Your EBC trek in Nepal ends with a domestic flight back to Kathmandu from Lukla and an international flight back home the next day.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp: Best trek till now
This trek has gotta be one of the best ones I've done so far. The ever-changing landscape, the local tea shop and its owner, the Nepali grub, the daily weather rollercoaster, and our guide all of it were bloody exceptional. The flight to Lukla Airport was the real standout of the trek.
Mate, you've gotta visit Lukla Airport at least once in your life to get why it's called the world's dodgiest airport. The dinky planes, lack of ATC and radar, the rapid descent on landing, and the short, uphill runway it's a real experience. Just thinking about that flight gives me shivers every time. And being at base camp, flying the Aussie flag, was another top moment. That feeling is hard to put into words. You just gotta feel it and stash it in your memory bank to cherish forever.
