It’s not every day that you get to stand at the foothills of the tallest mountain in the world. But before you know it, you’ll be 17,598 ft up in the air, spending 2 nights at Everest Base Camp—something available to the selected few. Being affiliated with an actual Everest Summit team means that so you’ll be front row to action, mingle with aspiring Everest summiters, sleep in tents on the glacier, and have the opportunity to participate in an ice climbing clinic on the Khumbu Glacier. Beyond your destination, you’ll experience this legendary 80-mile trail with the help of the most competent, strongest, and friendliest Sherpas in the world by your side. Over the course of 20 days, the trek will take you through red-hued rhododendron forests, historical villages, Buddhist monasteries, and suspension bridges—all the while circled by unreal sights of the highest peaks on Earth. Apart from Sherpas, the mighty yaks might make an appearance en route. Who knows, maybe they’ll join you for a beer or two at the highest pub in the world.

  • Rare opportunity to sleep at Everest Base Camp

    Unlike most other tours, you’ll actually stay at the Everest Base Camp for 2 or more days

  • Meet the actual Everest summit team

    Talk with summiters and meet the community of Mt. Everest expedition life

  • Experience the legendary 80-mile trail

    Soak in the rich culture, traditions, and daily life of the Sherpa people

Things to know

  • You will be welcomed into an actual Everest climbing team and trek alongside mountaineers who are attempting to scale the world’s largest peak. Apart from a terrific opportunity to chat with mountaineers, you’ll be invited to stay in a tent inside the Everest Base Camp. This is something that you won’t see most guided treks offering. Instead of just tagging the “trekkers rock” on the outskirts of camp and returning down into the valley, you’ll stay in the Everest Base Camp for two days (or even longer, if you’d like!).

    Very few even enter the base camp, which is a shame as you miss out on the scene and community of Everest expedition life, a part of which are also Sherpas. Your team of Sherpas will be the cream of the crop, led by Sirdar Tendi Sherpa—one of the most respected members of the Everest and Lhotse community with a dozen Everest summits under his belt. He holds his team to the same high standard that he holds himself and he hand-picks only the strongest, most skilled, and trusted Sherpa friends. That team is the highest paid on the mountain and you’ll quickly admire and respect their hard work, humility, gregariousness, and strength.

    Everything on this trip is held to the highest standard, and so is food! You’ll eat in the finest teahouses and once you reach the base camp, you can expect delicious dishes from a top-notch cook.

      • Toothbrush and toothpaste
      • Nail trimmers
      • Baby wipes
      • Book or Kindle / iPad
      • Camera 

    Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.

  • While you don’t need to be super athletic in order to trek the Everest Base Camp, great fitness is still required. You will be trekking 5-8 hours per day and gaining on average 300 m (1,000 ft) in elevation. Apart from long hiking days, you’ll also be carrying your daypack with all things you might need throughout the day. 

    If you’re not already very active, training several weeks prior to the trek is a must—improving your cardio and strength endurance is key here. Trekking to the Everest Base Camp is by no means exclusively reserved for advanced climbers. With enough time to adjust to high altitude, some good preparation, and the right attitude, you will enjoy the trek and reach the base camp.

  • All your food on the trail is taken care of. Dietary adjustments are possible. 

    You will be eating meals prepared by the teahouse staff. Your guides made sure to choose the finest tea houses on the trail, so you can be sure it’s the best available in Khumbu.

    Once you reach the base camp, you’ll be served the finest food on Mt. Everest. The head chef Kumar has been cooking for Everest expeditions for more than a decade and trains at 5-star hotels in the off-season.

    You are certainly welcome and encouraged to bring some of your favorite snacks, though rest assured that your guides provide plenty of food and there are opportunities to purchase snacks along the trail.

  • During your time in Kathmandu, you’ll be staying at the famous “Yak and Yeti” hotel. While you’re trekking, you’ll be staying in the finest teahouses available. And once you get to Everest Base Camp, you’ll be in a tent. Unlike most other Everest Base Camp tours, you actually get to spend the night here, not just tag “trekkers rock” and head back down to the valley. This allows you to mingle with mountaineers and experience the scene and the community of Everest expedition life.

    Keep in mind that the hotel and the tent are always twin shared, as well as the majority of teahouses on the trek.

    CTSS tent on the outside
  • Apart from the fact that you’ll have a highly experienced and knowledgeable person by your side—who’ll also make sure you have the best time in the country—trekking in Nepal is no longer allowed without a guide. This decision has been made for the tourists’ benefit, as many tourists have gone missing over the past few years when they went trekking by themselves.
