Overview

This Everest Base Camp hiking trip lasts about 12 days and includes a helicopter flight from Gorakshep back to Lukla. The trek follows winding trails through green forests, crosses suspension bridges, and passes glacial lakes while approaching the Himalayan mountains. Along the way, trekkers stay in twin-sharing guesthouses with attached toilets at Lukla, Phakding, and Namche. All meals during the trek - breakfast, lunch, and dinner - are provided, including a farewell dinner on the final night. The trip begins with airfare from Kathmandu to Lukla and concludes with a shared 20-minute helicopter ride from Gorakshep to Lukla. Accommodation in Kathmandu includes two nights in a three-star hotel with breakfast. A local English-speaking trekking guide trained in first aid leads the group. Porters carry luggage, with one porter assigned for every two guests. The package includes all government permits for Everest National Park and TIMS, filtered water on the trails, all staff salaries and insurance, and airport transfers by private vehicle. Trekkers also receive a duffel bag, trekking map, and sun hat to keep. A comprehensive first-aid kit with an oxymeter is available throughout the trek. Meals in Kathmandu are not included, nor are international flights, visas, travel insurance for rescue, personal trekking gear, alcoholic and other drinks, or tips for staff. The tour requires at least two people to book.
