I’ve done several trips with this company and have always been very happy. The guides are very friendly and they always took good care of us. I could not be happier and also their itinerary was awesome.

Guides that are close, friendly, and waiting to make you enjoy a unique experience. More than a trip, it becomes a family adventure. Always waiting to make you enjoy yourself and to adapt to the conditions and needs of each moment, concerned about making the trip an unforgettable experience, without a doubt some guides to travel to the end of the world with them.

Frequently asked questions about Everest Base Camp tours

  • The trek to Everest Base Camp is challenging. It requires strong fitness levels and prior multi-day hiking experience.

    The trek is not technical and you won’t need special equipment or skills to navigate the trails.

    However, it is a high-altitude trek. The thin air makes even simple exertion difficult. There are also long days with uphill climbs and uneven terrain. Being in good physical condition is crucial.

    Altitude sickness is a real risk. The gradual ascent helps with acclimatization, but symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and nausea can occur. Listening to your body and taking rest days is essential.

    So, if you want to do a Himalaya base camp tour, you need to be an intermediate-or-above hiker with preparation, and an ability to handle the challenges of high altitude.

  • The Everest Base Camp Trek is meant for intermediate hikers with prior experience. In theory, it is doable by beginners with phenomenal fitness levels, but it is not recommended

    With good preparation, a moderate fitness level, and a manageable itinerary, beginners can conquer Everest Base Camp. However, it’s important to be realistic about the challenges and choose a tour that suits your experience level.

  • The typical Everest Base Camp trek takes anywhere from 12 to 25 days for a round-trip trek.

    You can do the hiking portion in 8-12 days depending on the chosen route and pace. However, several days are built into most itineraries specifically for acclimatization. This allows your body to adjust to the high altitude and reduces the risk of altitude sickness.
    The total duration of your trip will depend on the specific itinerary you choose, your fitness level, and external factors like weather conditions, which can be a huge issue on a Mount Everest trip.

  • Depends on the itinerary you choose.

    The most common range for the classic Everest Base Camp Trek falls between $1,500 and $2,500 USD. This typically includes comfortable teahouse accommodation, meals, permits, and professional guides.

    For $3,000 USD and upwards, luxury Everest Base Camp tours offer premium amenities like private lodges, helicopter flights for some legs of the journey, and high-end meals.

  • Officially trekking Everest Base Camp solo is no longer possible.

    In April 2023, the Nepal government implemented regulations requiring trekkers to be accompanied by a registered guide. This was done for safety reasons and to ensure responsible tourism practices.

    This was for the better, as trekking in the Himalayas comes with inherent risks like altitude sickness, getting lost, and potential accidents. Having a guide with experience and knowledge of the region can significantly mitigate these risks.
