Overview

The Everest Base Camp Trek is a renowned and challenging trekking adventure. It takes you to the base camp of Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. Relish the chance to leave your footprints at the Everest Base Camp (5364 m). This trek offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Everest region. Witness majestic Himalayan peaks up close, and experience the rich Sherpa culture.

World's Most Extreme Airport


The trek begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, a small mountain airstrip. From Lukla, you embark on a trek through picturesque Sherpa villages, dense forests, and roaring rivers. The trail gradually ascends, providing stunning views of towering peaks like Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Everest. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is adventurous. The short runway and the airstrip on top of the hill is truly scary. However, flying to this airport in itself is an adventure. The flight path follows the narrow hilly valleys over the raging Dudhkoshi River and the high mountain passes. Most of the travelers travel to this place for the accumulation of this flight experience as well. 

Namche Bazaar & Acclimatization

As you trek deeper into the Khumbu region, you'll pass through iconic landmarks like Namche Bazaar, the vibrant trading hub of the Everest region, and Tengboche, home to a famous Buddhist monastery with panoramic mountain views. The trail offers opportunities to acclimatize to the increasing altitude, ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey. As for the acclimatization activity, we will explore the Everest View Hotel and return back to Namche for overnight sleep. It is necessary to get the proper high altitude destination but low altitude overnight sleep for the high altitude trekking. Therefore, our trekkers explore the high altitude place before spending night. The view of the mountains from the Everest View is majestic. One can relish the best view of mountains like Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Tabuche, Amadablam, Thamserku, Kusum Kangaru, Kwangde, etc.

Everest Base Camp & Kalapathar Hiking

Continuing, you'll cross suspension bridges, traverse high mountain passes, and witness the dramatic glacial landscapes of the Khumbu Icefall. Finally, after days of trekking, you'll reach Everest Base Camp itself. Standing at the foot of the mighty Everest, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment and marvel at the surrounding Himalayan giants. On the way back, you can ascend to Kala Patthar, a renowned viewpoint offering unparalleled panoramic views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, and other breathtaking peaks. The trek concludes with a descent back to Lukla, where you fly to Kathmandu.
Sunrise experience from the top of Kalapathhar is magnificent. You will be able to view the top of the Mt. Everest ever close from the place. Moreover, the Mt. Pumori on the backdrop and Everest along with the mountains lining up together make the place a Himalayan sanctuary. For most of the trekkers hiking the Kalapathar is arduous task and they avoid it. However, it is highly recommended to do this hike after visiting the Everest Base Camp (5364 m).

Trekking in the Himalayas - a journey where I have found the soul of the world

Words couldn’t quite describe how empty yet fulfilled I am after eventually completing the EBC trek. Everything during my journey has made me feel so alive: the four-day endless waiting for the flight to Lukla due to unpleasant weather, the altitude and temperature that literally took my breath away, and the views of the mountains that brought people to tears (not me). Didn’t have chance to bring a decent camera with me, yet all the bits and bobs during this two weeks have been captured in my heart forever. Having Basu alongside is the biggest luck I could get throughout the journey. With his trekking experience and passion, everything became so easy and effortless for me. He is also a very funny guy to get along with and knows the magic of turning a group of strangers into family. I cherish the time with everyone I met in Nepal. What a journey!!!

Wonderful trip to nepal EBC with Roving Nepal Trek

Wonderful trek to EBC at Nepal with Basu and company Roving Nepal Trek. Me and my friend did a 11-day trek to the Everest Base camp this year. We feel SO GLAD that we found Basu on an online forum and I can’t be more grateful for having him throughout the trek and my stay in Nepal. Basu is definitely an experienced and professional guide. He has also become a very good brother of ours now . When we were planning for the trek, we thought about doing the trek on our own without a guide. (Luckily we dropped that idea haha). Now having finished the trek, I would definitely suggest you to go with a guide if it is your first time trekking in Nepal. With a guide, one thing is that you can then focus on walking and fighting with the cold & height. Trust me, you wouldn’t want to spare energy looking for lodges when you get up to 4900m . The other thing is that a guide can keep you SAFE. Mountains are unpredictable and no one can gurantee a safe journey without proper planning and preparation. Basu took good care of us before, throughout and even after the trek. Excellent communications and quick response. We communicated in English through emails, facebook and whatsapps. He arranged pick-ups from and to the airport, our flight to Lukla, and he also lend me some climbing equipment. We have also stayed at Basu’s home in Kathmandu before and after the trek. His home is in the middle of a valley, next to some rice paddles and farmland. The family is just too lovely and they treated us like part of the family. You will be surprised by Nepalese’s hospitality and generosity. I am going to miss them a lot . On the mountain, everything was just perfect! Basu made sure we felt ok with every day’s trekking schedule. We were well-fed and stayed in double room every night (private toilet for some of the nights). Basu is also very knowledgeable with mountains. I learnt a lot from him about Nepalese culture and people. I have enjoyed his adventurous story on the mountain. He is also a very good camera man too XD YOU WILL REGRET IF YOU MISS BASU AND ROVING NEPAL TREK FOR NEPAL!!

An Unforgettable Journey to Everest Base Camp 難忘的EBC之旅

I traveled the Everest Base Camp (EBC) route in March 2023 with Basu, the guide from Roving Nepal Trek. Even six months later, the journey remains unforgettable and worth recommending to fellow travelers on TripAdvisor. 我在2023年3月，跟著Roving Nepal Trek的導遊Basu遊歷EBC路線，半年之後，旅程依然難忘，也值得我在Tripadvicor推介這位導遊的團隊。 【Outstanding Comprehensive Service 基本服務齊全無缺】 When hiring a guide, what we truly appreciate is the ease of having someone organize the itinerary, transportation, manage the essential details, and handle administrative procedures along the way. Basu provided all of this and more. Prior to our departure, he promptly answered our inquiries on WhatsApp, ranging from entry requirements to equipment advice. Basu's fluent English ensured smooth communication, and he efficiently arranged accommodations and transportation for our group throughout the journey, leaving no room for mishaps. 聘請導遊，最簡單直接的當然是貪圖有人為我們遊客安排行程、交通、打點途中特別要注意的事項和行政程序，Basu可以讓我們放心，在出發前他已經在whatsapp解答我們的大小問題，例如入境和裝備，Basu英語流利，溝通沒有障礙，沿途正確地為我們一行人安排住宿和交通，沒有缺漏。 【Adaptability in Itinerary 行程應變妥善】 Basu's adaptability deserves recognition. Initially, our itinerary included a side trip to Gokyo Lake in addition to EBC. Unfortunately, we encountered a snowstorm at the Cho La Pass, a critical point on the route. Basu had been monitoring the weather, coordinating with other guides, and ultimately decided it was unsafe to proceed, avoiding potential danger. 也值得一讚Basu的應變，本來我們的行程除了EBC之外，還加遊Gokyo湖，但不巧途中必經的Cho la隘口適逢暴雪，導遊預早監察天氣，也和其他團隊的導遊保持聯繫，最後確認不宜前往，免於危險。 Here's an amusing anecdote: In the high-altitude haze, I accidentally took a room key from one of the lodges after checking out, only realizing it two hours into our trek. My initial panic quickly turned into despair at the thought of having to hike back. Basu simply reassured me, "It's OK." He suggested that if we met any returning groups, he could ask their guides to return the key. 也分享一件小趣事，不知是否人在高山，腦子迷糊，我，對了就是我，居然在一處旅店check out後拿走了他們的房間鎖匙！還要走了兩小時山路才發現！那時心下直發慌，該不會要我走回去吧？Basu就說了句"It's OK"，只要遇上逆走的團隊，拜託他們導遊帶回去就好了。 His ability to handle both major and minor challenges is a testament to his quality as a guide. 大小事都有能力應變，也是導遊的品質。 【Attentive Care for Altitude Sickness 細心處理高山症狀】 During the journey, I struggled with symptoms of altitude sickness, including severe asthma, persistent insomnia-induced fatigue, and occasional stomach discomfort. At times, I doubted whether I could complete the trip. It was essential to report these symptoms to our guide. Basu was quick to assess whether my symptoms were severe or just a regular reaction, offering suitable dietary recommendations. 在旅途中，我愈來優受高山症症狀困擾，最嚴重的除了氣喘，還有連續失眠帶來的疲倦，以及小小腹瀉，曾令我一度懷疑是否能完成行程。這時必須和導遊報備，他知道我的症狀是不是嚴重或只是正常反應，也提出合適的飲食建議。 【Acknowledging the Porters' Hard Work 不要忘記挑夫的辛勞】 In addition to our guide, our team hired two porters who carried our luggage along the way. These young men were not only remarkably strong, effortlessly lugging backpacks weighing over ten kilograms, but they also thoughtfully provided us with fresh fruit at every meal, ensuring top-notch service. 除了導遊之外，團隊還聘請兩位挑夫沿途為我們挑行李，都是俊美的年輕人，除了舉重若輕地背上十多公斤的行李袋，還每餐給我們預備水果，服務周到。 【In Conclusion 最後】 Throughout our journey, Basu, became a formidable Big 2 (a card game) player thanks to our group's collective efforts. If you ever visit Nepal, don't miss the chance to challenge him! 在旅途中，Basu被我們一眾隊友鍛鍊成撲克遊戲鋤大D（大老二）的高手，歡迎到尼泊爾挑戰他！ Remember, this review is to highlight the great experience of having Basu as a guide, and I hope fellow travelers find this information valuable when considering their adventure to Everest Base Camp.
