Check in and depending on your arrival time, perhaps take the opportunity to explore the wonderfully chaotic streets of Kathmandu. In the afternoon, you'll have a pre-departure meeting with your guides to run through the final plans and arrangements for the trek. You'll finish the day with a group dinner, getting to know your crew of fellow trekkers.\nDay 2\nJourney to Manthali\nDriving\n7hrs\nThis morning, after a good night's rest, you'll hop on the bus and head to Ramechhap (Manthali), the remote region where most Lukla flights now depart during peak trekking season. After your long journey to Nepal, it’s crucial to rest and rehydrate before heading into the mountains – while many other itineraries rush you straight from your international flight into a midnight drive to Manthali, followed by a flight and same-day hiking, we take a different approach to ensure a successful and enjoyable trek. You’ll stay in sturdy safari tents at a glamping site near Ramechhap Airport, giving your body a chance to reset before flying to Lukla and starting your trek tomorrow feeling fresh and ready.\n(If your flight to Lukla is scheduled to depart from Kathmandu instead, you’ll enjoy an extra day in the city — time to explore at your own pace and pick up any last-minute gear.)\nDay 3\nTrek to Phakding\nHiking\n4hrs · 7.5km · 610m up · 830m down\nToday starts with a short flight to Lukla Airport in the Everest region. After meeting the rest of the team who will be supporting you during your trek you'll begin, passing through the prosperous village of Lukla before reaching Phakding on the Dudh Kosi River. You'll spend the night in the village and should have time to visit some of the nearby monasteries.\nOccasionally Lukla flights can be delayed or cancelled - please see the FAQs for further information.\nDay 4\nNamche\nHiking\n6hrs · 10.5km · 1670m up · 880m down\nStart the day with a walk through beautiful pine forests and along the track to the Dudh Koshi River. One of the (many) bridges is the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge with a particularly epic viewpoint of the gleaming Mount Thamserku (6618m). From here, you'll continue through the village of Jorsale before a challenging uphill climb to Namche Bazaar, where you'll get your first glimpse of Everest.\nDay 5\nAcclimatise and explore Namche (3440m)\nToday will be a rest day in order to acclimatise to the altitude, but rest assured, there’ll be no time to get bored! Instead, there’s the opportunity to hike to a nearby viewpoint and enjoy mammoth vistas of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Lhotse and other astonishing peaks. On the way back, you’ll walk around the Khumjung valley and have the chance to visit the Hillary School and Khunde Hospital, before returning to your cosy teahouse for the night.\nDay 6\nNamche to Tengboche\nHiking\n6hrs · 9.3km · 1270m up · 840m down\nThings get challenging today, as the trail forks northeast along a tributary valley and you approach the holy ground of Tengboche (3860m). Here you’ll be met by the unique sight of a monastery, yak pasture and the world’s highest sacred institution combined. Team this with more epic views of Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Everest, and you'll find it's worth every puff.\nDay 7\nTengboche to Dingboche\nHiking\n6hrs · 10.4km · 930m up · 440m down\nPull on your boots for another epic day on the trail. Trek past the Gompa (Buddhist temple) which holds the famous Yeti scalp, then pass summer yak pastures on the way to Dingboche, where you'll stay for the night in your next perfectly place teahouse. Most of the trekking along this stretch of the route is comparatively gentle, although taking it easy is recommended due to the high altitude.\nDay 8\nExplore and acclimatise at Dingboche\nToday you'll have your second acclimatisation day at Dingboche (4410m), which is vital considering the high altitudes you’re now reaching. Fear not, you can get still involved in some optional hikes to the nearby Nagajun Hill or Chukung Village, which both boast panoramic views of Ama Dablam and Makalu.\nDay 9\nDingboche to Lobuche\nHiking\n5hrs · 7.8km · 690m up · 120m down\nThis morning you're back on the trail, getting close to Base Camp with every step. Begin with a climb at a leisurely pace and cross ice-covered torrents until you reach Lobuche (4910m). Here, you’ll be met with stone houses that sit amongst the frozen wilderness. Only one more night until your goal.\nDay 10\nReach the legendary Everest Base Camp\nHiking\n6hrs · 11.6km · 630m up · 380m down\nAscend to Everest Base Camp (5380m). Congratulations, you're in the company of legends! Take some time to reflect and bask in the achievement, enjoying this famed mountaineering spot. Once you’ve taken in the views and given yourself a massive high-five, you'll continue back to Gorak Shep (5364m) for the night, tucking into a hearty meal at your teahouse before beginning the descent tomorrow.\nDay 11\nClimb Kala Patthar for Everest views at sunrise\nHiking\n6hrs · 12km · 70m up · 950m down\nThe best time to see Everest and its neighbouring peaks is at sunrise, so expect an early start (before breakfast). If you're not too tired, get involved in the optional hike up Kala Patthar (5550m) – the highest point of the trip, the reward for this exertion is spectacular panoramic views of Everest. The round trip takes about 3.5 hours, and you'll descend to Pheriche (4240m) for the night afterwards. Bring a few light snacks if you're planning to take on the climb.\nDay 12\nPheriche to Phortse\nHiking\n5hrs · 12km · 425m up · 830m down\nWhat goes up, must come down. You'll descend to Pangboche before a climb and descent lead you to Phortse (3835m), a traditional Sherpa village where you'll spend the night. Nearly every household here includes an Everest summiteer, and it's also home to the Khumbu Climbing Centre, where both Nepali and international mountaineers come to train and sharpen their skills.\nDay 13\nPhortse to Monjo via Namche\nHiking\n5hrs · 14km · 630m up · 1650m down\nToday you'll hike down to Namche for lunch, then continue to Monjo – a Sherpa village often called the gateway to Sagarmatha National Park. It's tucked into a scenic valley, with the towering peaks of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse continuing to form a dramatic backdrop.\nDay 14\nMonjo to Lukla\nHiking\n4.5hrs · 11km\nLace up your boots for one last day of trekking. After breakfast, set off on the final descent to Lukla (2860m), taking your time to soak it all in – there's no rush today. Following your time together on the trail, you'll say your farewells to the local team at a village along the way, before continuing to Lukla, where the end-of-trek celebrations kick off.\nDay 15\nBack to Kathmandu\nDriving\n7hrs\nBoard your flight back to Ramechhap (Manthali) after your incredible mountain journey. You'll drive back to the lively heart of Kathmandu in time for some well-earned beers and a celebratory dinner.\nDay 16\nLast day in Kathmandu\nEnjoy a well-earned lie-in and breakfast at your hotel, then feel free to spend your last day exploring the city if you have the time. Your host will transfer you back to the airport in time for your flight home.","attrs_markdown":"[![](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/static\/img\/muchbetteradventures.svg)![](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/static\/img\/muchbetteradventures.svg)](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/)\n\n[Destinations]()[Activities]()[Collections]()[Inspiration]()[About]()\n\n-

undulating trails, cross suspension bridges, navigate glaciers and dodge yaks as you trek through mountaineering history\n\nDrown in the dramatic mountain views of Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Mount Everest - the world's tallest mountain\n\nAscend from Everest Base Camp to Kala Patthar at 5550m for views of Everest that only a select few will ever see\n\nUnsure which Everest region trek is for you? Read our [handy guide](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/magazine\/gokyo-lakes-vs-everest-base-camp\/), or check out the alternatives – [Everest and Gokyo Lakes Circuit](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/products\/9923-adventures-everest-and-gokyo-lakes-circuit\/) and [Everest Panorama Trek](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/products\/10865-adventures-everest-panorama-trek\/)\n## Key Information\nItinerary\n\n#### Day 1\nWelcome to Nepal\\!\n\n![Kathmandu, Nepal. Photo: iStock-519624147](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F2oDVswvJ8aJnGYA3e7VnLK%2F6d5993220355dbcd750bc1f7a5ccc2fc%2FiStock-519624147.jpg&w=2048&q=100)\n\nPhotos\n\nArrive at Kathmandu Airport, where your driver will meet you and transfer you to your hotel in the bustling Thamel district of the city. Check in and depending on your arrival time, perhaps take the opportunity to explore the wonderfully chaotic streets of Kathmandu. In the afternoon, you'll have a pre-departure meeting with your guides to run through the final plans and arrangements for the trek. You'll finish the day with a group dinner, getting to know your crew of fellow trekkers.\n\n#### Day 2\nJourney to Manthali\n\n![Kathmandu, Nepal. Photo: GettyImages-894593212](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6YRBeTEfhcIGfkgQTeJdNG%2F1c8f4e98eca414bc65775b9aea2a2132%2FGettyImages-894593212.jpg&w=2048&q=100)\n\nPhotos\n\n##### Driving\n7hrs\n\nThis morning, after a good night's rest, you'll hop on the bus and head to Ramechhap (Manthali), the remote region where most Lukla flights now depart during peak trekking season. After your long journey to Nepal, it’s crucial to rest and rehydrate before heading into the mountains – while many other itineraries rush you straight from your international flight into a midnight drive to Manthali, followed by a flight and same-day hiking, we take a different approach to ensure a successful and enjoyable trek. You’ll stay in sturdy safari tents at a glamping site near Ramechhap Airport, giving your body a chance to reset before flying to Lukla and starting your trek tomorrow feeling fresh and ready.\n\n(If your flight to Lukla is scheduled to depart from Kathmandu instead, you’ll enjoy an extra day in the city — time to explore at your own pace and pick up any last-minute gear.)\n\n#### Day 3\nTrek to Phakding\n\n![Lukla Airport](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1itu7ReO8P4he233RtJyLK%2Ff0f8b6ce8bb666d92a11b61fb8c8f91f%2FiStock-1132560699.jpg&w=2048&q=100)\n\nPhotos\n\n##### Hiking\n4hrs · 7.5km · 610m up · 830m down\n\nToday starts with a short flight to Lukla Airport in the Everest region. After meeting the rest of the team who will be supporting you during your trek you'll begin, passing through the prosperous village of Lukla before reaching Phakding on the Dudh Kosi River. You'll spend the night in the village and should have time to visit some of the nearby monasteries.\n\nOccasionally Lukla flights can be delayed or cancelled - please see the FAQs for further information.\n\n#### Day 4\nNamche\n\n![Suspension Bridge, Nepal](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5o67Kinbw5FbsBAQ4AVy3p%2F4c552c1a3a4d9b77db3da716d106c353%2Fdcmxadiaxmpxl.cloudfront-22.jpg&w=2048&q=100)\n\nPhotos\n\n##### Hiking\n6hrs · 10.5km · 1670m up · 880m down\n\nStart the day with a walk through beautiful pine forests and along the track to the Dudh Koshi River. One of the (many) bridges is the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge with a particularly epic viewpoint of the gleaming Mount Thamserku (6618m). From here, you'll continue through the village of Jorsale before a challenging uphill climb to Namche Bazaar, where you'll get your first glimpse of Everest.\n\n#### Day 5\nAcclimatise and explore Namche (3440m)\n\n![Namche, Nepal ](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1YSktuMbT9L5yFsYMyUfG0%2Faa07c05d1d7ea7f967fd6e307e7f2376%2FiStock-513206135.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nPhotos\n\nToday will be a rest day in order to acclimatise to the altitude, but rest assured, there’ll be no time to get bored! Instead, there’s the opportunity to hike to a nearby viewpoint and enjoy mammoth vistas of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Lhotse and other astonishing peaks. On the way back, you’ll walk around the Khumjung valley and have the chance to visit the Hillary School and Khunde Hospital, before returning to your cosy teahouse for the night.\n\n#### Day 6\nNamche to Tengboche\n\n![ Tengboche, Nepal ](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5OxsrfeyhxBVLciL1NHvzX%2F7c45bcd4b91dcd774e37100e15e324cc%2FiStock-1135570272.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nPhotos\n\n##### Hiking\n6hrs · 9.3km · 1270m up · 840m down\n\nThings get challenging today, as the trail forks northeast along a tributary valley and you approach the holy ground of Tengboche (3860m). Here you’ll be met by the unique sight of a monastery, yak pasture and the world’s highest sacred institution combined. Team this with more epic views of Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Everest, and you'll find it's worth every puff.\n\n#### Day 7\nTengboche to Dingboche\n\n![Tengboche to Dingboche](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6YUdcaOkaf6LJ9630WAlP%2F28daca4b32da4e781db78f9269593bc0%2FiStock-618525748.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nPhotos\n\n##### Hiking\n6hrs · 10.4km · 930m up · 440m down\n\nPull on your boots for another epic day on the trail. Trek past the Gompa (Buddhist temple) which holds the famous Yeti scalp, then pass summer yak pastures on the way to Dingboche, where you'll stay for the night in your next perfectly place teahouse. Most of the trekking along this stretch of the route is comparatively gentle, although taking it easy is recommended due to the high altitude.\n\n#### Day 8\nExplore and acclimatise at Dingboche\n\n![View from Dingboche](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5t0RFTk3REfw02XP1oPsaq%2Fd85a0a2b9137d6bc10f5a2620581e027%2FiStock-898928550.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nPhotos\n\nToday you'll have your second acclimatisation day at Dingboche (4410m), which is vital considering the high altitudes you’re now reaching. Fear not, you can get still involved in some optional hikes to the nearby Nagajun Hill or Chukung Village, which both boast panoramic views of Ama Dablam and Makalu.\n\n#### Day 9\nDingboche to Lobuche\n\n![Dingboche to Lobuche](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F7bJPG58RoirCYzpmVdgyEg%2Fff839e6097010b425283d2536f02e07f%2FiStock-618526952.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nPhotos\n\n##### Hiking\n5hrs · 7.8km · 690m up · 120m down\n\nThis morning you're back on the trail, getting close to Base Camp with every step. Begin with a climb at a leisurely pace and cross ice-covered torrents until you reach Lobuche (4910m). Here, you’ll be met with stone houses that sit amongst the frozen wilderness. Only one more night until your goal.\n\n#### Day 10\nReach the legendary Everest Base Camp\n\n![Lobuche to Gorak Shep](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2Fe9OTnQoQUBZR9gg9UULxM%2Fde3cfab6aa333b7afb3510ca90bfc023%2FiStock-936491296.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nPhotos\n\n##### Hiking\n6hrs · 11.6km · 630m up · 380m down\n\nAscend to Everest Base Camp (5380m). Congratulations, you're in the company of legends! Take some time to reflect and bask in the achievement, enjoying this famed mountaineering spot. Once you’ve taken in the views and given yourself a massive high-five, you'll continue back to Gorak Shep (5364m) for the night, tucking into a hearty meal at your teahouse before beginning the descent tomorrow.\n\n#### Day 11\nClimb Kala Patthar for Everest views at sunrise\n\n![Panoramic view of himilayas from Kala Patthar](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1c7qM3ezWHtIelQbtpEXGe%2F2a87a25de8b80412db1160a113b74811%2FiStock-1129645648.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nPhotos\n\n##### Hiking\n6hrs · 12km · 70m up · 950m down\n\nThe best time to see Everest and its neighbouring peaks is at sunrise, so expect an early start (before breakfast). If you're not too tired, get involved in the optional hike up Kala Patthar (5550m) – the highest point of the trip, the reward for this exertion is spectacular panoramic views of Everest. The round trip takes about 3.5 hours, and you'll descend to Pheriche (4240m) for the night afterwards. Bring a few light snacks if you're planning to take on the climb.\n\n#### Day 12\nPheriche to Phortse\n\n![Pangboche to Namche](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6eazj5RQEDwxsg3fkRUefL%2F6ae675ce7958308abbc04b5f3624ab66%2FiStock-927545736.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nPhotos\n\n##### Hiking\n5hrs · 12km · 425m up · 830m down\n\nWhat goes up, must come down. You'll descend to Pangboche before a climb and descent lead you to Phortse (3835m), a traditional Sherpa village where you'll spend the night. Nearly every household here includes an Everest summiteer, and it's also home to the Khumbu Climbing Centre, where both Nepali and international mountaineers come to train and sharpen their skills.\n\n#### Day 13\nPhortse to Monjo via Namche\n\n![View from Namche Bazaar, Everest Region, Nepal. GettyImages-1196918078](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6bUnqB3uUXrmZWHDqT2Yp2%2Fd64a02b10e4a14ff68046969fabdfe75%2FGettyImages-1196918078.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nPhotos\n\n##### Hiking\n5hrs · 14km · 630m up · 1650m down\n\nToday you'll hike down to Namche for lunch, then continue to Monjo – a Sherpa village often called the gateway to Sagarmatha National Park.

The menus in the teahouses are very similar at every stop and there will usually be a choice of traditional Nepalese dhal bhat (a mixed plate of lentils, rice, vegetables and pickles - delicious and healthy), Nepalese dumplings (momos), mixed noodles, pasta and even pizza. Although meat is available at some teahouses, we suggest you ask your guide for advice about consumption as it tends to depend on how far it has travelled as to whether it is a safe option.\n\nDairy-free, vegan or vegetarian diets can be catered for while trekking although meals may get a bit repetitive - dhal bhat will likely be your go-to staple. Gluten-free\/coeliac diets are tricky to cater for on teahouse treks (beware that powdered soups and seasonings used often contain gluten, and cooking oil is commonly reused and may cause cross-contamination). Please explain your dietary requirements to your guide so that they can assist when ordering, and bringing along some extra food\/snacks is advisable.\n#### What is the accommodation like?\n![Skye Inn Kathmandu.

Close to the main shopping district and key heritage sites, it provides the perfect base for exploring, while still offering a quiet and restful retreat.\n\n![Freedom Resort, Manthali, Nepal.

The permanent tents are comfortably set with wooden floors and you will share on a twin-basis, with shared bathrooms. There is a swimming pool, a restaurant and bar on site, allowing you to rest and begin your trek fully refreshed.\n\n![Nepal teahouse](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F14XFrJ63WCCVsgyu69gr0v%2F1acb11ef1b4fe70582048ebcf14cb2c9%2FGettyImages-168856419.jpg&w=2048&q=100)\n\nPhotos\n##### On the trek\nWhile on the trek, you'll bunk down at traditional Nepali teahouses – simple mountain lodges offering basic but welcoming accommodation along the route. The higher you go, the more rustic the facilities become, and the pricier the snacks. Rooms are allocated on a twin-share basis with simple beds, a mattress and pillow, but no heating – so a warm sleeping bag is essential. Earplugs are handy too, as sound tends to travel. The bathroom facilities are shared, with one or two basic toilets (sometimes outside) ranging from squat-style to seated. Toilet paper is not provided, so make sure bring your own. Most teahouses sell essentials such as toilet paper, tissues, soap, shampoo and snacks. Some lodges offer hot showers for a small fee; these might be solar or gas-powered, or simply a bucket of hot water. All teahouses in the Everest region have electricity, usually solar-powered, though it can be patchy. Lighting may be too dim to read by, so bring a torch. Charging is typically available in the dining area for a small fee per device. Many lodges offer WiFi, but it’s not always reliable. Alternatively, you can purchase a local internet card, typically costing around \\$10 (USD) per day. Communal dining rooms are the cosy heart of the teahouse – a spot to gather, play cards or warm up with a hot drink. They’re typically colourful spaces, often decorated with traditional rugs and warmed by a central stove. Above 3000m, some lodges may not use stoves due to environmental rules.\n\n###### Upgrades\nFor solo travellers looking for their own space, an optional private room can be booked for the two nights in Kathmandu only, subject to availability. This option is not available in the teahouses. Please request this at the time of booking: see Optional Extras for prices.\n\nWeather\n\nThere are three different seasons for trekking in Nepal.\n\nWinter (Dec-Feb): despite being seen as ‘off-season’ this is often the best time to trek in Nepal. The nights can be very cold (down to –20°C), but the trails are quieter and the mountain views are often at their best due to the clear sunny skies.\n\nPre-monsoon\/spring (March-May): temperatures rise significantly in spring and flowers are in full bloom in the lower lands. Although it can still drop below freezing at night, the daytime temperatures tend to sit between 10-15°C.\n\nPost-monsoon\/autumn (Sept-Nov): this is the most popular time to trek in Nepal with sunny and mild days generally. It can get cold and windy at higher altitudes; however, skies are usually clear.\n\nOf course, mountain weather is notoriously hard to predict and snow can be expected at any time, so come prepared.\n\nReviews(248 Reviews)\n\nEmma Y.(April 2026)\n\n##### Challenging and Rewarding - EBC March 26\nI booked this trip with just 2 months to go before the start date, a fit and avid walker with a keen sense of adventure I decided I wanted to make the most of a sabbatical Id given myself before starting a new job.

We include all the activities and equipment, so you can simply rock up with your rucksack and share the adventure with your new pals.\n\n#### Travel to and from the trip\nOur trips do not include flights, trains or other travel to the start point and back from the end point.\n\n#### Meals\nWe do not include meals on the trekking part of this trip, as from experience we know that altitude and physical exercise can mean appetites vary hugely.\n\nThe cost of food rises as you ascend as it is all carried in by porters and yaks and as you get higher up, very little food can be grown. How much you spend per day will vary according to your choice of meal but generally, people spend between \\$25-\\$35 per person, per day on meals and hot drinks. Below is an approximate breakdown of some items:\n\n- Dal baht: \\$4 to \\$7\n- Chow mein: \\$2 to \\$4\n- Eggs: \\$2 to \\$4\n- Toast: \\$1.50 to \\$3\n- Tea\/hot chocolate: \\$1 to \\$3\n- Chocolate bars: \\$2 to \\$4\n\nTeahouses will provide cold water free of charge; however, it needs to be treated to enable you to drink it. Please read the FAQ below regarding our advice here.\n\n#### Miscellaneous costs\nOther extra costs at the teahouses to be considered are:\n\n- Shower: \\$2-\\$4\n- WiFi: \\$2-5\n- Electricity: \\$2-5\n\nSee the below FAQ 'What’s Plan B in case of Lukla flight cancellations?' also.\n\n#### Tips\nIt is customary in Nepal to tip guides and porters. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. You can give any tips to your lead guide at the end of your trip. This will then be shared amongst the whole team. For full transparency, the lead guide will distribute the tips to the guides and porters in your presence. It is customary for the guides to receive a higher share than the porters as they are more highly qualified.\n\nA good rule of thumb is around \\$140pp as a tip, although the amount you give is entirely your choice.\n\nIf you would like to give an additional tip to a member of the team who has supported you personally, please do so directly and discretely.\n\n#### Travel insurance\nTravel insurance is compulsory for all of our adventures, and you'll need to provide your policy details before departure. Your insurance should offer adequate cover for overseas medical treatment, evacuation\/repatriation, your baggage and equipment, and the specific activities involved in your adventure. We also recommend ensuring your policy includes cancellation and curtailment cover, in case you're unable to join your trip due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness. Standard travel insurance may not cover all the activities included in your adventure, so it's essential to check the details carefully. There are adventure-specific providers that many travellers have used in the past, such as [True Traveller](https:\/\/www.truetraveller.com\/?tag=4555) (for those based in the UK or Europe), or [Rise + Shield](https:\/\/riseandshield.com\/?ref=nwjjzgm), both of which offer cover for a wide range of adventurous activities. Please make sure your chosen policy meets your individual needs and covers all aspects of your trip.\n\nOwing to the nature of this trip, it is essential that your personal travel insurance policy provides cover to the maximum altitude visited on this trip (5550m) as well as for emergency medical evacuation by helicopter.\n\n#### Visas\nVisa requirements often change, and you are responsible for obtaining any required visas for this trip. Please check with your nearest embassy or consulate for up-to-date advice.\n\n#### Personal Expenses\nYou know your own spending habits best, so please budget an appropriate amount for things like optional meals and drinks, shopping, optional activities, and laundry.\n\nKitlist\n\n### What do I need to bring?\n- Day pack with rain cover (30 litre +)\n- Rucksack or duffle bag (for the porters to carry overnight kit)\n##### Clothes\n- Waterproof jacket\n- Lightweight down jacket\n- Waterproof trousers\n- Lightweight trekking trousers\n- Hiking shorts (if trekking in the summer)\n- Thermals (top and bottom, merino ideal)\n- 2\/3 trekking t-shirts\/shirts\n- Fleece or warm mid-layer\n- Waterproof thick gloves\n- Glove liners\n- Hiking socks and lighter walking socks\n- Wool hat\n- Sun hat\n- Spare underwear\n- Buff or similar\n##### Shoes\n- Worn in waterproof hiking boots\n- Lightweight trainers (for the evenings)\n##### Sleeping\n- 4 season sleeping bag\n- Sleeping bag liner\n- Pillow case (optional)\n##### Other\n- Trekking poles\n- Travel towel\n- Sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses)\n- 2 water bottles (1 litre each)\n- Metal SIGG bottle (useful to fill with hot water to use as a hot water bottle at bedtime)\n- Headtorch\n- First aid kit and\/or personal medication\n- Water purification tablets\/system\n- Biodegradable wet wipes\n- Hand gel\n- Small biodegradable bags to take toilet tissue off the mountain\n- Toilet paper\/tissues\n- Powerbank\n- Universal plug adaptor\n- Book\/kindle\/cards for downtime\n##### Winter departures only (end Nov-March)\n- Gaiters\n- Microspikes\n- Extra warm layers (add an extra warm item to all key items above)\n- Extra set of thermals (pair to walk in, pair to sleep in)\n- Merino trekking socks\n- Merino glove liners\n### What's available to hire?\nThe below can be rented in Kathmandu:\n\n- Down jacket: costs approx. \\$1.50\/day with a deposit of \\$50\n- Sleeping bag (3 season only available): costs approx. \\$2\/day with a deposit of \\$80\n- Spikes (for Winter departures only) costs approx. \\$1.5\/day.\n\n(Please ask your host if this is needed so they can assist you with how to arrange the hire)\n\n##### What can you buy in Kathmandu?\nKathmandu has many outdoor gear shops - some are real with kit that is the same price you will find it at home and some are filled with cheaper imitation gear that may not be of the same quality. You will however find a soft duffel bag easily that the porters can carry.\n\n##### Weight Restrictions\nThere is a weight restriction on the flight to and from Lukla of 10kg checked baggage plus 5kg hand luggage. It is not a problem for you to check in 1-2kg more than this as long as you are happy to pay an excess luggage charge (approx. £1 per kg). Some items may be left in the hotel in Kathmandu if necessary.\n\nPlease remove all unnecessary packing before you leave home and ensure you take all plastic off the mountain to be disposed of in Kathmandu.\n\nOptional Extras\n\n*\\*Requests for optional extras are made by messaging your host via your booking page*\n\nPre\/Post Trip Accommodation\n\n**Pre\/post-trip accommodation in Kathmandu (Single)**\n\n**Payable Before Departure**\n\nPre\/post-trip accommodation in Kathmandu (Single)\n\n\\$65\n\n**Pre\/post-trip accommodation in Kathmandu (Twin\/Double)**\n\n**Payable Before Departure**\n\nPre\/post-trip accommodation in Kathmandu (Twin\/Double)\n\n\\$70\n\nSingle Occupancy\n\n**Optional Private Room Upgrade (Kathmandu x 2 nights)**\n\n**Payable Before Departure**\n\nOptional Private Room Upgrade (Kathmandu x 2 nights)\n\n\\$60\n\nWant to ask about extras?\n\nChat to our team\n\nCarbon Footprint\n\nWe partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.\n\n**What's the number?**  \n It works out on average at **499kg** of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.\n\nThe only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.\n\n**But what does the number mean?**  \n Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:\n\n- Driving 1000 miles\/1609km would be approximately 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person, if there were two of you in it).\n- A return economy class flight between London and New York would be approximately 1619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.\n- 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approximately 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.\n\n**What are we doing about it?**  \n Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the [World Land Trust](https:\/\/www.worldlandtrust.org\/) to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their [Buy an Acre](https:\/\/www.worldlandtrust.org\/appeals\/buy-an-acre\/) programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.\n\n**Want to know more?**  \n Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. [You'll find it all here](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/magazine\/carbon-label-to-all-trips-and-calls-on-the-travel-industry-to-follow-suit\/).\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\n\nHow does this itinerary maximise my chance of reaching Base Camp?\n\nThis once-in-a-lifetime adventure is something most people only ever dream of – so we believe it’s worth doing properly. Our Everest Base Camp itinerary is one day longer than most, carefully designed for a safer, more comfortable and more successful trek: at altitude, pacing, hydration and rest are key. Long-haul travel can leave you fatigued before you even begin, so you’ll spend your first night in Kathmandu, then head to a glamping site in Manthali at a respectable hour the following day. That second night gives you time to rest and rehydrate after the journey, instead of tackling a stressful night-time drive on mountain roads – as is commonplace on many other tours. If your flight to Lukla is cancelled, you've also got nearby digs at the ready\\!\n\nThe trek itself follows Wilderness Medical Society guidance for high-altitude trekking, with a gradual ascent and planned rest days to help your body acclimatise. There’s also built-in flexibility to handle any Lukla flight delays at the start of your trek, to give you the best shot at reaching Base Camp, though of course, nothing is guaranteed in the mountains.\n\nTravelling in a small group of up to 12, you’ll be supported by one of Nepal’s most respected trekking teams, with one staff member for every four trekkers – typically including your lead guide, assistant guides and porters. Your local hosts are pioneers in community empowerment, and proud winners of Much Better Adventures’ Host Sustainability Award for the second year running. This is Everest Base Camp done the right way.\n\nWhat’s Plan B in case of Lukla Flight Cancellations?\n\nA mountain flight to Lukla is included on Day 3 of this adventure, with your return flight scheduled for Day 15. Although departure dates are planned outside the main monsoon season, mountain weather can be unpredictable. Delays or cancellations of flights to and from Lukla are not uncommon during the trekking season. Our itinerary is planned with this possibility in mind, with built-in flexibility.\n\nIf your outbound Lukla flight is cancelled, your local host will switch to Plan B:\n\nYou'll stay an extra night in Manthali (or Kathmandu) and try to fly the next day. If you arrive in Lukla on Day 4, you'll descend from Gorak Shep to Lukla over three longer days instead of four. Importantly, this doesn't affect your ascent rate to Everest Base Camp, so you'll still have the same number of days to acclimatise.\n\nIf poor weather continues and you reach Lukla on Day 5, one night in Namche Bazaar will be skipped on the way up. This change does slightly accelerate your ascent rate, as it removes one acclimatisation day.\n\nAnother option – subject to availability – is to charter a helicopter. Helicopters are less affected by poor weather and may be able to fly when planes cannot. If you choose this option, you'll need to pay an additional \\$350–500 USD per person. This reflects the difference between the helicopter cost and the refund for your cancelled flight.\n\nIf Lukla flights are cancelled for more than two consecutive days and you haven’t arrived by Day 5 via any of the options above, it’s no longer possible to safely reach Everest Base Camp in the available time. In this case, your host will offer an alternative trek – usually the Annapurna Circuit from Chame to Jomsom, via the Thorong La Pass.\n\nIf you need to stay additional nights in Kathmandu due to flight cancellations, your host will ask you to pay the difference in accommodation costs (around \\$45 USD per room, per night) as hotels in Kathmandu are more expensive than glamping in Manthali or staying in a teahouse.\n\nSee also: When should I book my return flight?\n\nWhen should I book my return flight home for?\n\nThe flight from Lukla to Kathmandu at the end of the trip is usually reliable; however, if the weather is poor, cancellations can happen and there is the chance that you will have to fly the next day. So to play it safe, we advise you to consider booking an extra night’s accommodation in Kathmandu at the end of the trip.\n\nWhat should know about money while on the trip?\n\nThe preferred currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). Whilst ATMs are available in the main cities, please do not rely on them as they are often out of order and most have a maximum withdrawal limit equivalent to about £300.\n\nIt's best to bring the bulk of your money with you in cash and exchange it at a bank or at one of the many money changers in Nepal – your guide will help you with this. Most major currencies are accepted, including GBP (Sterling), Euros and US Dollars; however, Scottish or Northern Irish currency cannot be changed. Keep your exchange receipts in case you want to change any unused Rupees back into hard currency when you leave Nepal (it is illegal to export Nepalese Rupees, as it is a closed currency).\n\nYou will need to carry a fairly large amount of cash while trekking for the meals. We advise that you keep this in a waterproof bag and in your day bag along with your passport.\n\nWhat are the guide's qualifications?\n\nWe work with some of the best leaders in the industry. Every single one of them is government licensed and very experienced. In order to ensure the guides high standard of performance, the host provides them with top-notch in-house training that covers, Leave No Trace (LNT) principles, advanced wilderness first aid, hyperbaric chambers, oxygen system, mountain rescue and incident management.\n\nAre there any weight restrictions on packing?\n\nThere is a weight restriction on the flight to and from Lukla of 10kg checked baggage plus 5kg hand luggage. It is not a problem for you to check in 1-2kg more than this as long as you are happy to pay an excess luggage charge (approx. £1 per kg). Some items may be left in the hotel in Kathmandu if necessary.\n\nThis trip includes one porter for every two trekkers. They will carry up to 20-25kg of kit so your overnight bags and spare clothes will be transported for you (maximum 12kg per person). You will only need to carry a ‘day pack’ with essentials in (extra layer, snacks, water, suncream, camera etc.\n\nWhat can I do with my spare time in Kathmandu?\n\nYour host in Nepal can arrange a variety of extra experiences in Kathmandu, should you want to explore further. Please discuss these directly with your host, who will be able to book them for you.\n\n**Kathmandu Heritage Tour:** Visit four UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, Boudhanath and Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple).

Duration: half day (morning or afternoon).\n\nWhat do I do about drinking water?\n\nAlthough most teahouses have the option to buy bottled water, we advise against it to reduce the use of plastic in the mountains (this ends up being burnt or in landfill out of sight). You will instead be provided with cold water that needs treating. There is a wide range of products available these days which are more effective than traditional purification tablets - some trekkers like to use UV handheld devices such as a Steripen but other options are available (just check the performance in freezing conditions).\n\nWhat do I need to know about flight safety in Nepal?\n\nThis trip includes a return domestic flight to Lukla. Nepal's mountainous terrain and weather make for challenging flying conditions and sadly more incidents (including fatalities) occur here than in other countries. Since 2013 the EU has banned all Nepalese domestic airlines from flying within EU airspace in order to raise awareness of the poor safety record (although no Nepalese airlines were operating routes within the EU prior to the ban). You should be aware that flying in Nepal is an identified risk: please consider this carefully before booking. Additional information can be found on the [Aviation Safety Network entry for Nepal](https:\/\/aviation-safety.net\/database\/country\/country.php?id=9N) as well as the [UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office travel advice for Nepal](https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/foreign-travel-advice\/nepal)\n\nDomestic airlines in Nepal are generally not accredited by any internationally recognised safety audit systems and the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal does not operate to the same standards as those of Western nations.\n\nWhat does MBA do about this?\n\nMBA collaborates with other UK travel companies that arrange for independent air-safety auditors to visit Nepal annually to assess the local airlines. Our local host in Nepal then only uses the carriers that were approved as part of the most recent audit. If any concerns are subsequently raised about an approved airline between audits, we put them on hold until the auditors are satisfied that safety standards are being met.\n\nWhat should my travel insurance policy cover?\n\nOwing to the nature of this trip, it is essential that your personal travel insurance policy provides cover to the maximum altitude visited on this trip (5550m) as well as for emergency medical evacuation by helicopter.\n\nCan I book on my own?\n\nSure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.\n\nWho is running the trip?\n\nOur team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. [Read more information about the local teams we partner with](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/about\/our-hosts\/). You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform.\n\nWhat is the official travel advice?\n\nMuch Better Adventures refer to the UK Government’s official travel advice when designing trips and monitoring trip operations. We recommend that all customers are familiar with the practical information provided on [the Government’s FCDO website](https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/foreign-travel-advice), where current travel advice can be found by searching for the applicable destination(s).\n\nFor customers joining this trip from other international destinations – please also read the official travel advice applicable to your country of residence\/origin, as this may differ.\n\nWhat vaccinations do I need?\n\nWe recommend checking out the [country-specific information](https:\/\/travelhealthpro.org.uk\/) and also talking to a travel nurse.\n\nHow are the trips priced?\n\nWe automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.\n\nIf you wish to change the currency you pay in, head to the bottom of the page.\n\nWhy are your adventures only for adults?\n\nAll of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. You must be over 18 to join one of our trips.\n\nWho else will be on my trip?\n\nYou're always in good company on one of our adventures.\n\nOur trips are typically made up of a mixture of solo travellers and small groups of 2 or 3 friends, with most in their 30s-50s.\n\nOur sociable adventures are solo-friendly by design and naturally attract outdoorsy people with a shared mindset; a love for adventure, a desire to push themselves and meet awesome, like-minded people along the way. Check out our [Community Values](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/about\/community-values\/) – a shared code to make sure that everyone's experience is safe, inclusive and brilliantly unforgettable.\n\nIt’s this camaraderie that has so often turned a great adventure into a life-changing one.\n\nDon't just take our word for it:\n\n- 95% of people rate the group dynamics on our trips 5\/5\n- 90% of people recommend joining a trip to make new friends\n- 75% of people have met people on our trips that they would now consider friends\n\nSee [here](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/about\/our-community\/) for more info about the Much Better Adventures tribe.\n\nCan't find what you're looking for?\n\nChat to our team\n\n## This trip is graded Level 5\nLevel 5\n\n### Challenging\nMade for those who seek to push themselves and embrace the outdoors\n\nHigh altitude (over 4500m): factors to consider + 1 other factor\n\nHow much activity is involved?\n\n### Very active days, usually seven to eight hours long\nMuch of the trek is within the capabilities of people with a good fitness who are keen trekkers.

Check in and depending on your arrival time, perhaps take the opportunity to explore the wonderfully chaotic streets of Kathmandu. In the afternoon, you'll have a pre-departure meeting with your guides to run through the final plans and arrangements for the trek. You'll finish the day with a group dinner, getting to know your crew of fellow trekkers.\n\n#### Day 2\nJourney to Manthali\n\n![Kathmandu, Nepal.

After your long journey to Nepal, it’s crucial to rest and rehydrate before heading into the mountains – while many other itineraries rush you straight from your international flight into a midnight drive to Manthali, followed by a flight and same-day hiking, we take a different approach to ensure a successful and enjoyable trek. You’ll stay in sturdy safari tents at a glamping site near Ramechhap Airport, giving your body a chance to reset before flying to Lukla and starting your trek tomorrow feeling fresh and ready.\n\n(If your flight to Lukla is scheduled to depart from Kathmandu instead, you’ll enjoy an extra day in the city — time to explore at your own pace and pick up any last-minute gear.)\n\n#### Day 3\nTrek to Phakding\n\n![Lukla Airport](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1itu7ReO8P4he233RtJyLK%2Ff0f8b6ce8bb666d92a11b61fb8c8f91f%2FiStock-1132560699.jpg&w=2048&q=100)\n\n##### Hiking\n4hrs · 7.5km · 610m up · 830m down\n\nToday starts with a short flight to Lukla Airport in the Everest region.

One of the (many) bridges is the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge with a particularly epic viewpoint of the gleaming Mount Thamserku (6618m). From here, you'll continue through the village of Jorsale before a challenging uphill climb to Namche Bazaar, where you'll get your first glimpse of Everest.\n\n#### Day 5\nAcclimatise and explore Namche (3440m)\n\n![Namche, Nepal ](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1YSktuMbT9L5yFsYMyUfG0%2Faa07c05d1d7ea7f967fd6e307e7f2376%2FiStock-513206135.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nToday will be a rest day in order to acclimatise to the altitude, but rest assured, there’ll be no time to get bored! Instead, there’s the opportunity to hike to a nearby viewpoint and enjoy mammoth vistas of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Lhotse and other astonishing peaks. On the way back, you’ll walk around the Khumjung valley and have the chance to visit the Hillary School and Khunde Hospital, before returning to your cosy teahouse for the night.\n\n#### Day 6\nNamche to Tengboche\n\n![ Tengboche, Nepal ](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5OxsrfeyhxBVLciL1NHvzX%2F7c45bcd4b91dcd774e37100e15e324cc%2FiStock-1135570272.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\n##### Hiking\n6hrs · 9.3km · 1270m up · 840m down\n\nThings get challenging today, as the trail forks northeast along a tributary valley and you approach the holy ground of Tengboche (3860m).

Team this with more epic views of Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Everest, and you'll find it's worth every puff.\n\n#### Day 7\nTengboche to Dingboche\n\n![Tengboche to Dingboche](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6YUdcaOkaf6LJ9630WAlP%2F28daca4b32da4e781db78f9269593bc0%2FiStock-618525748.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\n##### Hiking\n6hrs · 10.4km · 930m up · 440m down\n\nPull on your boots for another epic day on the trail. Trek past the Gompa (Buddhist temple) which holds the famous Yeti scalp, then pass summer yak pastures on the way to Dingboche, where you'll stay for the night in your next perfectly place teahouse. Most of the trekking along this stretch of the route is comparatively gentle, although taking it easy is recommended due to the high altitude.\n\n#### Day 8\nExplore and acclimatise at Dingboche\n\n![View from Dingboche](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5t0RFTk3REfw02XP1oPsaq%2Fd85a0a2b9137d6bc10f5a2620581e027%2FiStock-898928550.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\nToday you'll have your second acclimatisation day at Dingboche (4410m), which is vital considering the high altitudes you’re now reaching. Fear not, you can get still involved in some optional hikes to the nearby Nagajun Hill or Chukung Village, which both boast panoramic views of Ama Dablam and Makalu.\n\n#### Day 9\nDingboche to Lobuche\n\n![Dingboche to Lobuche](https:\/\/www.muchbetteradventures.com\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F7bJPG58RoirCYzpmVdgyEg%2Fff839e6097010b425283d2536f02e07f%2FiStock-618526952.jpg&w=2048&q=50)\n\n##### Hiking\n5hrs · 7.8km · 690m up · 120m down\n\nThis morning you're back on the trail, getting close to Base Camp with every step.

If you're not too tired, get involved in the optional hike up Kala Patthar (5550m) – the highest point of the trip, the reward for this exertion is spectacular panoramic views of Everest. The round trip takes about 3.5 hours, and you'll descend to Pheriche (4240m) for the night afterwards.

Photo: iStock-519624147](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F2oDVswvJ8aJnGYA3e7VnLK%2F6d5993220355dbcd750bc1f7a5ccc2fc%2FiStock-519624147.jpg&w=2048&q=100) Photos Arrive at Kathmandu Airport, where your driver will meet you and transfer you to your hotel in the bustling Thamel district of the city. Check in and depending on your arrival time, perhaps take the opportunity to explore the wonderfully chaotic streets of Kathmandu. In the afternoon, you'll have a pre-departure meeting with your guides to run through the final plans and arrangements for the trek. You'll finish the day with a group dinner, getting to know your crew of fellow trekkers. #### Day 2 Journey to Manthali ![Kathmandu, Nepal. Photo: GettyImages-894593212](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6YRBeTEfhcIGfkgQTeJdNG%2F1c8f4e98eca414bc65775b9aea2a2132%2FGettyImages-894593212.jpg&w=2048&q=100) Photos ##### Driving 7hrs This morning, after a good night's rest, you'll hop on the bus and head to Ramechhap (Manthali), the remote region where most Lukla flights now depart during peak trekking season. After your long journey to Nepal, it’s crucial to rest and rehydrate before heading into the mountains – while many other itineraries rush you straight from your international flight into a midnight drive to Manthali, followed by a flight and same-day hiking, we take a different approach to ensure a successful and enjoyable trek. You’ll stay in sturdy safari tents at a glamping site near Ramechhap Airport, giving your body a chance to reset before flying to Lukla and starting your trek tomorrow feeling fresh and ready. (If your flight to Lukla is scheduled to depart from Kathmandu instead, you’ll enjoy an extra day in the city — time to explore at your own pace and pick up any last-minute gear.) #### Day 3 Trek to Phakding ![Lukla Airport](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1itu7ReO8P4he233RtJyLK%2Ff0f8b6ce8bb666d92a11b61fb8c8f91f%2FiStock-1132560699.jpg&w=2048&q=100) Photos ##### Hiking 4hrs · 7.5km · 610m up · 830m down Today starts with a short flight to Lukla Airport in the Everest region. After meeting the rest of the team who will be supporting you during your trek you'll begin, passing through the prosperous village of Lukla before reaching Phakding on the Dudh Kosi River. You'll spend the night in the village and should have time to visit some of the nearby monasteries. Occasionally Lukla flights can be delayed or cancelled - please see the FAQs for further information. #### Day 4 Namche ![Suspension Bridge, Nepal](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5o67Kinbw5FbsBAQ4AVy3p%2F4c552c1a3a4d9b77db3da716d106c353%2Fdcmxadiaxmpxl.cloudfront-22.jpg&w=2048&q=100) Photos ##### Hiking 6hrs · 10.5km · 1670m up · 880m down Start the day with a walk through beautiful pine forests and along the track to the Dudh Koshi River. One of the (many) bridges is the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge with a particularly epic viewpoint of the gleaming Mount Thamserku (6618m). From here, you'll continue through the village of Jorsale before a challenging uphill climb to Namche Bazaar, where you'll get your first glimpse of Everest. #### Day 5 Acclimatise and explore Namche (3440m) ![Namche, Nepal ](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1YSktuMbT9L5yFsYMyUfG0%2Faa07c05d1d7ea7f967fd6e307e7f2376%2FiStock-513206135.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos Today will be a rest day in order to acclimatise to the altitude, but rest assured, there’ll be no time to get bored! Instead, there’s the opportunity to hike to a nearby viewpoint and enjoy mammoth vistas of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Lhotse and other astonishing peaks. On the way back, you’ll walk around the Khumjung valley and have the chance to visit the Hillary School and Khunde Hospital, before returning to your cosy teahouse for the night. #### Day 6 Namche to Tengboche ![ Tengboche, Nepal ](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5OxsrfeyhxBVLciL1NHvzX%2F7c45bcd4b91dcd774e37100e15e324cc%2FiStock-1135570272.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos ##### Hiking 6hrs · 9.3km · 1270m up · 840m down Things get challenging today, as the trail forks northeast along a tributary valley and you approach the holy ground of Tengboche (3860m). Here you’ll be met by the unique sight of a monastery, yak pasture and the world’s highest sacred institution combined. Team this with more epic views of Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Everest, and you'll find it's worth every puff. #### Day 7 Tengboche to Dingboche ![Tengboche to Dingboche](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6YUdcaOkaf6LJ9630WAlP%2F28daca4b32da4e781db78f9269593bc0%2FiStock-618525748.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos ##### Hiking 6hrs · 10.4km · 930m up · 440m down Pull on your boots for another epic day on the trail. Trek past the Gompa (Buddhist temple) which holds the famous Yeti scalp, then pass summer yak pastures on the way to Dingboche, where you'll stay for the night in your next perfectly place teahouse. Most of the trekking along this stretch of the route is comparatively gentle, although taking it easy is recommended due to the high altitude. #### Day 8 Explore and acclimatise at Dingboche ![View from Dingboche](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5t0RFTk3REfw02XP1oPsaq%2Fd85a0a2b9137d6bc10f5a2620581e027%2FiStock-898928550.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos Today you'll have your second acclimatisation day at Dingboche (4410m), which is vital considering the high altitudes you’re now reaching. Fear not, you can get still involved in some optional hikes to the nearby Nagajun Hill or Chukung Village, which both boast panoramic views of Ama Dablam and Makalu. #### Day 9 Dingboche to Lobuche ![Dingboche to Lobuche](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F7bJPG58RoirCYzpmVdgyEg%2Fff839e6097010b425283d2536f02e07f%2FiStock-618526952.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos ##### Hiking 5hrs · 7.8km · 690m up · 120m down This morning you're back on the trail, getting close to Base Camp with every step. Begin with a climb at a leisurely pace and cross ice-covered torrents until you reach Lobuche (4910m). Here, you’ll be met with stone houses that sit amongst the frozen wilderness. Only one more night until your goal. #### Day 10 Reach the legendary Everest Base Camp ![Lobuche to Gorak Shep](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2Fe9OTnQoQUBZR9gg9UULxM%2Fde3cfab6aa333b7afb3510ca90bfc023%2FiStock-936491296.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos ##### Hiking 6hrs · 11.6km · 630m up · 380m down Ascend to Everest Base Camp (5380m). Congratulations, you're in the company of legends! Take some time to reflect and bask in the achievement, enjoying this famed mountaineering spot. Once you’ve taken in the views and given yourself a massive high-five, you'll continue back to Gorak Shep (5364m) for the night, tucking into a hearty meal at your teahouse before beginning the descent tomorrow. #### Day 11 Climb Kala Patthar for Everest views at sunrise ![Panoramic view of himilayas from Kala Patthar](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1c7qM3ezWHtIelQbtpEXGe%2F2a87a25de8b80412db1160a113b74811%2FiStock-1129645648.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos ##### Hiking 6hrs · 12km · 70m up · 950m down The best time to see Everest and its neighbouring peaks is at sunrise, so expect an early start (before breakfast). If you're not too tired, get involved in the optional hike up Kala Patthar (5550m) – the highest point of the trip, the reward for this exertion is spectacular panoramic views of Everest. The round trip takes about 3.5 hours, and you'll descend to Pheriche (4240m) for the night afterwards. Bring a few light snacks if you're planning to take on the climb. #### Day 12 Pheriche to Phortse ![Pangboche to Namche](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6eazj5RQEDwxsg3fkRUefL%2F6ae675ce7958308abbc04b5f3624ab66%2FiStock-927545736.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos ##### Hiking 5hrs · 12km · 425m up · 830m down What goes up, must come down. You'll descend to Pangboche before a climb and descent lead you to Phortse (3835m), a traditional Sherpa village where you'll spend the night. Nearly every household here includes an Everest summiteer, and it's also home to the Khumbu Climbing Centre, where both Nepali and international mountaineers come to train and sharpen their skills. #### Day 13 Phortse to Monjo via Namche ![View from Namche Bazaar, Everest Region, Nepal. GettyImages-1196918078](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6bUnqB3uUXrmZWHDqT2Yp2%2Fd64a02b10e4a14ff68046969fabdfe75%2FGettyImages-1196918078.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos ##### Hiking 5hrs · 14km · 630m up · 1650m down Today you'll hike down to Namche for lunch, then continue to Monjo – a Sherpa village often called the gateway to Sagarmatha National Park. It's tucked into a scenic valley, with the towering peaks of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse continuing to form a dramatic backdrop. #### Day 14 Monjo to Lukla ![Rope bridge ](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2FlqrX5FWEMgDWE2l2uQRc8%2F4d6a64f7bcde234ec3efabd87b165d19%2FiStock-1148398144.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos ##### Hiking 4\.5hrs · 11km Lace up your boots for one last day of trekking. After breakfast, set off on the final descent to Lukla (2860m), taking your time to soak it all in – there's no rush today. Following your time together on the trail, you'll say your farewells to the local team at a village along the way, before continuing to Lukla, where the end-of-trek celebrations kick off. #### Day 15 Back to Kathmandu ![Flight Lukla to Kathmandu ](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F3OlUYdf12IMHhZ2DIq9Ekb%2F16f1eaf47df47b9bfd46f808269d555c%2FiStock-664537786.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Photos ##### Driving 7hrs Board your flight back to Ramechhap (Manthali) after your incredible mountain journey.

Photo: GettyImages-655381736](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F7HCYLVIOpWALNB62jiMgfK%2F6323a538739a3c359cd2130d4c289c87%2FGettyImages-655381736.jpg&w=2048&q=100) Photos ##### Breakfast is usually either hot porridge, muesli or Tibetan bread served with an omelette or boiled eggs. The menus in the teahouses are very similar at every stop and there will usually be a choice of traditional Nepalese dhal bhat (a mixed plate of lentils, rice, vegetables and pickles - delicious and healthy), Nepalese dumplings (momos), mixed noodles, pasta and even pizza. Although meat is available at some teahouses, we suggest you ask your guide for advice about consumption as it tends to depend on how far it has travelled as to whether it is a safe option. Dairy-free, vegan or vegetarian diets can be catered for while trekking although meals may get a bit repetitive - dhal bhat will likely be your go-to staple. Gluten-free/coeliac diets are tricky to cater for on teahouse treks (beware that powdered soups and seasonings used often contain gluten, and cooking oil is commonly reused and may cause cross-contamination). Please explain your dietary requirements to your guide so that they can assist when ordering, and bringing along some extra food/snacks is advisable. #### What is the accommodation like? ![Skye Inn Kathmandu. Photo: Host](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1kgzOaBhSJb6Vzt7u1htsp%2Fcaecd817e49454d8fabb5ee3cec16102%2FDSC_5295.jpg&w=2048&q=100) Photos ##### Kathmandu While in the Nepalese capital, you’ll stay at Skye Inn Kathmandu, a modern, centrally located hotel in the heart of Thamel. Close to the main shopping district and key heritage sites, it provides the perfect base for exploring, while still offering a quiet and restful retreat. ![Freedom Resort, Manthali, Nepal. Photo: Host // Freedom Adventures Nepal](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F3pm0ovH01KTtJkLfSXecAt%2F93e1ba2e4ffa40d45c42c807ee85d41b%2FFreedom-resort-manthali-nepal-host.jpg&w=2048&q=100) Photos ##### Manthali For your night in Manthali, you will stay in safari-style tents at the Freedom Resort Fixed Tent Camp. The permanent tents are comfortably set with wooden floors and you will share on a twin-basis, with shared bathrooms. There is a swimming pool, a restaurant and bar on site, allowing you to rest and begin your trek fully refreshed. ![Nepal teahouse](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F14XFrJ63WCCVsgyu69gr0v%2F1acb11ef1b4fe70582048ebcf14cb2c9%2FGettyImages-168856419.jpg&w=2048&q=100) Photos ##### On the trek While on the trek, you'll bunk down at traditional Nepali teahouses – simple mountain lodges offering basic but welcoming accommodation along the route. The higher you go, the more rustic the facilities become, and the pricier the snacks. Rooms are allocated on a twin-share basis with simple beds, a mattress and pillow, but no heating – so a warm sleeping bag is essential. Earplugs are handy too, as sound tends to travel. The bathroom facilities are shared, with one or two basic toilets (sometimes outside) ranging from squat-style to seated. Toilet paper is not provided, so make sure bring your own. Most teahouses sell essentials such as toilet paper, tissues, soap, shampoo and snacks. Some lodges offer hot showers for a small fee; these might be solar or gas-powered, or simply a bucket of hot water. All teahouses in the Everest region have electricity, usually solar-powered, though it can be patchy. Lighting may be too dim to read by, so bring a torch. Charging is typically available in the dining area for a small fee per device. Many lodges offer WiFi, but it’s not always reliable. Alternatively, you can purchase a local internet card, typically costing around \$10 (USD) per day. Communal dining rooms are the cosy heart of the teahouse – a spot to gather, play cards or warm up with a hot drink. They’re typically colourful spaces, often decorated with traditional rugs and warmed by a central stove. Above 3000m, some lodges may not use stoves due to environmental rules. ###### Upgrades For solo travellers looking for their own space, an optional private room can be booked for the two nights in Kathmandu only, subject to availability. This option is not available in the teahouses. Please request this at the time of booking: see Optional Extras for prices. Weather There are three different seasons for trekking in Nepal. Winter (Dec-Feb): despite being seen as ‘off-season’ this is often the best time to trek in Nepal. The nights can be very cold (down to –20°C), but the trails are quieter and the mountain views are often at their best due to the clear sunny skies. Pre-monsoon/spring (March-May): temperatures rise significantly in spring and flowers are in full bloom in the lower lands. Although it can still drop below freezing at night, the daytime temperatures tend to sit between 10-15°C. Post-monsoon/autumn (Sept-Nov): this is the most popular time to trek in Nepal with sunny and mild days generally. It can get cold and windy at higher altitudes; however, skies are usually clear. Of course, mountain weather is notoriously hard to predict and snow can be expected at any time, so come prepared.

We include all the activities and equipment, so you can simply rock up with your rucksack and share the adventure with your new pals. #### Travel to and from the trip Our trips do not include flights, trains or other travel to the start point and back from the end point. #### Meals We do not include meals on the trekking part of this trip, as from experience we know that altitude and physical exercise can mean appetites vary hugely. The cost of food rises as you ascend as it is all carried in by porters and yaks and as you get higher up, very little food can be grown. How much you spend per day will vary according to your choice of meal but generally, people spend between \$25-\$35 per person, per day on meals and hot drinks. Below is an approximate breakdown of some items: - Dal baht: \$4 to \$7 - Chow mein: \$2 to \$4 - Eggs: \$2 to \$4 - Toast: \$1.50 to \$3 - Tea/hot chocolate: \$1 to \$3 - Chocolate bars: \$2 to \$4 Teahouses will provide cold water free of charge; however, it needs to be treated to enable you to drink it. Please read the FAQ below regarding our advice here. #### Miscellaneous costs Other extra costs at the teahouses to be considered are: - Shower: \$2-\$4 - WiFi: \$2-5 - Electricity: \$2-5 See the below FAQ 'What’s Plan B in case of Lukla flight cancellations?' also. #### Tips It is customary in Nepal to tip guides and porters. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. You can give any tips to your lead guide at the end of your trip. This will then be shared amongst the whole team. For full transparency, the lead guide will distribute the tips to the guides and porters in your presence. It is customary for the guides to receive a higher share than the porters as they are more highly qualified. A good rule of thumb is around \$140pp as a tip, although the amount you give is entirely your choice. If you would like to give an additional tip to a member of the team who has supported you personally, please do so directly and discretely. #### Travel insurance Travel insurance is compulsory for all of our adventures, and you'll need to provide your policy details before departure. Your insurance should offer adequate cover for overseas medical treatment, evacuation/repatriation, your baggage and equipment, and the specific activities involved in your adventure. We also recommend ensuring your policy includes cancellation and curtailment cover, in case you're unable to join your trip due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness. Standard travel insurance may not cover all the activities included in your adventure, so it's essential to check the details carefully. There are adventure-specific providers that many travellers have used in the past, such as [True Traveller](https://www.truetraveller.com/?tag=4555) (for those based in the UK or Europe), or [Rise + Shield](https://riseandshield.com/?ref=nwjjzgm), both of which offer cover for a wide range of adventurous activities. Please make sure your chosen policy meets your individual needs and covers all aspects of your trip. Owing to the nature of this trip, it is essential that your personal travel insurance policy provides cover to the maximum altitude visited on this trip (5550m) as well as for emergency medical evacuation by helicopter. #### Visas Visa requirements often change, and you are responsible for obtaining any required visas for this trip. Please check with your nearest embassy or consulate for up-to-date advice. #### Personal Expenses You know your own spending habits best, so please budget an appropriate amount for things like optional meals and drinks, shopping, optional activities, and laundry.

(Please ask your host if this is needed so they can assist you with how to arrange the hire) ##### What can you buy in Kathmandu? Kathmandu has many outdoor gear shops - some are real with kit that is the same price you will find it at home and some are filled with cheaper imitation gear that may not be of the same quality. You will however find a soft duffel bag easily that the porters can carry. ##### Weight Restrictions There is a weight restriction on the flight to and from Lukla of 10kg checked baggage plus 5kg hand luggage. It is not a problem for you to check in 1-2kg more than this as long as you are happy to pay an excess luggage charge (approx. £1 per kg). Some items may be left in the hotel in Kathmandu if necessary. Please remove all unnecessary packing before you leave home and ensure you take all plastic off the mountain to be disposed of in Kathmandu.

Chat to our team Carbon Footprint We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity. What's the number? It works out on average at 499kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations. The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too. But what does the number mean? Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea: - Driving 1000 miles/1609km would be approximately 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person, if there were two of you in it). - A return economy class flight between London and New York would be approximately 1619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person. - 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approximately 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years. What are we doing about it? Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the [World Land Trust](https://www.worldlandtrust.org/) to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their [Buy an Acre](https://www.worldlandtrust.org/appeals/buy-an-acre/) programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife. Want to know more? Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. [You'll find it all here](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/magazine/carbon-label-to-all-trips-and-calls-on-the-travel-industry-to-follow-suit/). Frequently Asked Questions How does this itinerary maximise my chance of reaching Base Camp? This once-in-a-lifetime adventure is something most people only ever dream of – so we believe it’s worth doing properly. Our Everest Base Camp itinerary is one day longer than most, carefully designed for a safer, more comfortable and more successful trek: at altitude, pacing, hydration and rest are key. Long-haul travel can leave you fatigued before you even begin, so you’ll spend your first night in Kathmandu, then head to a glamping site in Manthali at a respectable hour the following day. That second night gives you time to rest and rehydrate after the journey, instead of tackling a stressful night-time drive on mountain roads – as is commonplace on many other tours. If your flight to Lukla is cancelled, you've also got nearby digs at the ready\! The trek itself follows Wilderness Medical Society guidance for high-altitude trekking, with a gradual ascent and planned rest days to help your body acclimatise. There’s also built-in flexibility to handle any Lukla flight delays at the start of your trek, to give you the best shot at reaching Base Camp, though of course, nothing is guaranteed in the mountains. Travelling in a small group of up to 12, you’ll be supported by one of Nepal’s most respected trekking teams, with one staff member for every four trekkers – typically including your lead guide, assistant guides and porters. Your local hosts are pioneers in community empowerment, and proud winners of Much Better Adventures’ Host Sustainability Award for the second year running. This is Everest Base Camp done the right way. What’s Plan B in case of Lukla Flight Cancellations? A mountain flight to Lukla is included on Day 3 of this adventure, with your return flight scheduled for Day 15. Although departure dates are planned outside the main monsoon season, mountain weather can be unpredictable. Delays or cancellations of flights to and from Lukla are not uncommon during the trekking season. Our itinerary is planned with this possibility in mind, with built-in flexibility. If your outbound Lukla flight is cancelled, your local host will switch to Plan B: You'll stay an extra night in Manthali (or Kathmandu) and try to fly the next day. If you arrive in Lukla on Day 4, you'll descend from Gorak Shep to Lukla over three longer days instead of four. Importantly, this doesn't affect your ascent rate to Everest Base Camp, so you'll still have the same number of days to acclimatise. If poor weather continues and you reach Lukla on Day 5, one night in Namche Bazaar will be skipped on the way up. This change does slightly accelerate your ascent rate, as it removes one acclimatisation day. Another option – subject to availability – is to charter a helicopter. Helicopters are less affected by poor weather and may be able to fly when planes cannot. If you choose this option, you'll need to pay an additional \$350–500 USD per person. This reflects the difference between the helicopter cost and the refund for your cancelled flight. If Lukla flights are cancelled for more than two consecutive days and you haven’t arrived by Day 5 via any of the options above, it’s no longer possible to safely reach Everest Base Camp in the available time. In this case, your host will offer an alternative trek – usually the Annapurna Circuit from Chame to Jomsom, via the Thorong La Pass. If you need to stay additional nights in Kathmandu due to flight cancellations, your host will ask you to pay the difference in accommodation costs (around \$45 USD per room, per night) as hotels in Kathmandu are more expensive than glamping in Manthali or staying in a teahouse. See also: When should I book my return flight? When should I book my return flight home for? The flight from Lukla to Kathmandu at the end of the trip is usually reliable; however, if the weather is poor, cancellations can happen and there is the chance that you will have to fly the next day. So to play it safe, we advise you to consider booking an extra night’s accommodation in Kathmandu at the end of the trip. What should know about money while on the trip? The preferred currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). Whilst ATMs are available in the main cities, please do not rely on them as they are often out of order and most have a maximum withdrawal limit equivalent to about £300. It's best to bring the bulk of your money with you in cash and exchange it at a bank or at one of the many money changers in Nepal – your guide will help you with this. Most major currencies are accepted, including GBP (Sterling), Euros and US Dollars; however, Scottish or Northern Irish currency cannot be changed. Keep your exchange receipts in case you want to change any unused Rupees back into hard currency when you leave Nepal (it is illegal to export Nepalese Rupees, as it is a closed currency). You will need to carry a fairly large amount of cash while trekking for the meals. We advise that you keep this in a waterproof bag and in your day bag along with your passport. What are the guide's qualifications? We work with some of the best leaders in the industry. Every single one of them is government licensed and very experienced. In order to ensure the guides high standard of performance, the host provides them with top-notch in-house training that covers, Leave No Trace (LNT) principles, advanced wilderness first aid, hyperbaric chambers, oxygen system, mountain rescue and incident management. Are there any weight restrictions on packing? There is a weight restriction on the flight to and from Lukla of 10kg checked baggage plus 5kg hand luggage. It is not a problem for you to check in 1-2kg more than this as long as you are happy to pay an excess luggage charge (approx. £1 per kg). Some items may be left in the hotel in Kathmandu if necessary. This trip includes one porter for every two trekkers. They will carry up to 20-25kg of kit so your overnight bags and spare clothes will be transported for you (maximum 12kg per person). You will only need to carry a ‘day pack’ with essentials in (extra layer, snacks, water, suncream, camera etc. What can I do with my spare time in Kathmandu? Your host in Nepal can arrange a variety of extra experiences in Kathmandu, should you want to explore further. Please discuss these directly with your host, who will be able to book them for you. Kathmandu Heritage Tour: Visit four UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, Boudhanath and Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple). Duration: full day (approx. 08:00–15:00). Spice Markets & Durbar Square: Explore Asan Market and Thamel, visiting spice and tea markets and learning about the cultural, culinary and medicinal uses of Nepali spices from local vendors. Finish at Kathmandu Durbar Square, home to historic temples and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Duration: approx. three hours (flexible timing). Master the Arts: Head to Bhaktapur Durbar Square for a pottery workshop. Learn to spin the wheel and shape clay into simple items such as cups, bowls or vases, and observe traditional drying and firing techniques used by local potters. Duration: half day (approx. 08:00–12:30). Nepali Cooking Class: Learn to prepare four traditional Nepali dishes with hands-on guidance, then enjoy one of your creations. This experience supports SASANE and their work addressing human trafficking, child marriage and violence against women. Duration: half day (morning or afternoon). What do I do about drinking water? Although most teahouses have the option to buy bottled water, we advise against it to reduce the use of plastic in the mountains (this ends up being burnt or in landfill out of sight). You will instead be provided with cold water that needs treating. There is a wide range of products available these days which are more effective than traditional purification tablets - some trekkers like to use UV handheld devices such as a Steripen but other options are available (just check the performance in freezing conditions). What do I need to know about flight safety in Nepal? This trip includes a return domestic flight to Lukla. Nepal's mountainous terrain and weather make for challenging flying conditions and sadly more incidents (including fatalities) occur here than in other countries. Since 2013 the EU has banned all Nepalese domestic airlines from flying within EU airspace in order to raise awareness of the poor safety record (although no Nepalese airlines were operating routes within the EU prior to the ban). You should be aware that flying in Nepal is an identified risk: please consider this carefully before booking. Additional information can be found on the [Aviation Safety Network entry for Nepal](https://aviation-safety.net/database/country/country.php?id=9N) as well as the [UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office travel advice for Nepal](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/nepal) Domestic airlines in Nepal are generally not accredited by any internationally recognised safety audit systems and the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal does not operate to the same standards as those of Western nations. What does MBA do about this? MBA collaborates with other UK travel companies that arrange for independent air-safety auditors to visit Nepal annually to assess the local airlines. Our local host in Nepal then only uses the carriers that were approved as part of the most recent audit. If any concerns are subsequently raised about an approved airline between audits, we put them on hold until the auditors are satisfied that safety standards are being met. What should my travel insurance policy cover? Owing to the nature of this trip, it is essential that your personal travel insurance policy provides cover to the maximum altitude visited on this trip (5550m) as well as for emergency medical evacuation by helicopter. Can I book on my own? Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people. Who is running the trip? Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. [Read more information about the local teams we partner with](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/about/our-hosts/). You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform. What is the official travel advice? Much Better Adventures refer to the UK Government’s official travel advice when designing trips and monitoring trip operations. We recommend that all customers are familiar with the practical information provided on [the Government’s FCDO website](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice), where current travel advice can be found by searching for the applicable destination(s). For customers joining this trip from other international destinations – please also read the official travel advice applicable to your country of residence/origin, as this may differ. What vaccinations do I need? We recommend checking out the [country-specific information](https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/) and also talking to a travel nurse. How are the trips priced? We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time. If you wish to change the currency you pay in, head to the bottom of the page. Why are your adventures only for adults?

Readable Markdown	#### Day 1 Welcome to Nepal\! ![Kathmandu, Nepal. Photo: iStock-519624147](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F2oDVswvJ8aJnGYA3e7VnLK%2F6d5993220355dbcd750bc1f7a5ccc2fc%2FiStock-519624147.jpg&w=2048&q=100) Arrive at Kathmandu Airport, where your driver will meet you and transfer you to your hotel in the bustling Thamel district of the city. Check in and depending on your arrival time, perhaps take the opportunity to explore the wonderfully chaotic streets of Kathmandu. In the afternoon, you'll have a pre-departure meeting with your guides to run through the final plans and arrangements for the trek. You'll finish the day with a group dinner, getting to know your crew of fellow trekkers. #### Day 2 Journey to Manthali ![Kathmandu, Nepal. Photo: GettyImages-894593212](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6YRBeTEfhcIGfkgQTeJdNG%2F1c8f4e98eca414bc65775b9aea2a2132%2FGettyImages-894593212.jpg&w=2048&q=100) ##### Driving 7hrs This morning, after a good night's rest, you'll hop on the bus and head to Ramechhap (Manthali), the remote region where most Lukla flights now depart during peak trekking season. After your long journey to Nepal, it’s crucial to rest and rehydrate before heading into the mountains – while many other itineraries rush you straight from your international flight into a midnight drive to Manthali, followed by a flight and same-day hiking, we take a different approach to ensure a successful and enjoyable trek. You’ll stay in sturdy safari tents at a glamping site near Ramechhap Airport, giving your body a chance to reset before flying to Lukla and starting your trek tomorrow feeling fresh and ready. (If your flight to Lukla is scheduled to depart from Kathmandu instead, you’ll enjoy an extra day in the city — time to explore at your own pace and pick up any last-minute gear.) #### Day 3 Trek to Phakding ![Lukla Airport](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1itu7ReO8P4he233RtJyLK%2Ff0f8b6ce8bb666d92a11b61fb8c8f91f%2FiStock-1132560699.jpg&w=2048&q=100) ##### Hiking 4hrs · 7.5km · 610m up · 830m down Today starts with a short flight to Lukla Airport in the Everest region. After meeting the rest of the team who will be supporting you during your trek you'll begin, passing through the prosperous village of Lukla before reaching Phakding on the Dudh Kosi River. You'll spend the night in the village and should have time to visit some of the nearby monasteries. Occasionally Lukla flights can be delayed or cancelled - please see the FAQs for further information. #### Day 4 Namche ![Suspension Bridge, Nepal](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5o67Kinbw5FbsBAQ4AVy3p%2F4c552c1a3a4d9b77db3da716d106c353%2Fdcmxadiaxmpxl.cloudfront-22.jpg&w=2048&q=100) ##### Hiking 6hrs · 10.5km · 1670m up · 880m down Start the day with a walk through beautiful pine forests and along the track to the Dudh Koshi River. One of the (many) bridges is the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge with a particularly epic viewpoint of the gleaming Mount Thamserku (6618m). From here, you'll continue through the village of Jorsale before a challenging uphill climb to Namche Bazaar, where you'll get your first glimpse of Everest. #### Day 5 Acclimatise and explore Namche (3440m) ![Namche, Nepal ](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1YSktuMbT9L5yFsYMyUfG0%2Faa07c05d1d7ea7f967fd6e307e7f2376%2FiStock-513206135.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Today will be a rest day in order to acclimatise to the altitude, but rest assured, there’ll be no time to get bored! Instead, there’s the opportunity to hike to a nearby viewpoint and enjoy mammoth vistas of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Lhotse and other astonishing peaks. On the way back, you’ll walk around the Khumjung valley and have the chance to visit the Hillary School and Khunde Hospital, before returning to your cosy teahouse for the night. #### Day 6 Namche to Tengboche ![ Tengboche, Nepal ](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5OxsrfeyhxBVLciL1NHvzX%2F7c45bcd4b91dcd774e37100e15e324cc%2FiStock-1135570272.jpg&w=2048&q=50) ##### Hiking 6hrs · 9.3km · 1270m up · 840m down Things get challenging today, as the trail forks northeast along a tributary valley and you approach the holy ground of Tengboche (3860m). Here you’ll be met by the unique sight of a monastery, yak pasture and the world’s highest sacred institution combined. Team this with more epic views of Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Everest, and you'll find it's worth every puff. #### Day 7 Tengboche to Dingboche ![Tengboche to Dingboche](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6YUdcaOkaf6LJ9630WAlP%2F28daca4b32da4e781db78f9269593bc0%2FiStock-618525748.jpg&w=2048&q=50) ##### Hiking 6hrs · 10.4km · 930m up · 440m down Pull on your boots for another epic day on the trail. Trek past the Gompa (Buddhist temple) which holds the famous Yeti scalp, then pass summer yak pastures on the way to Dingboche, where you'll stay for the night in your next perfectly place teahouse. Most of the trekking along this stretch of the route is comparatively gentle, although taking it easy is recommended due to the high altitude. #### Day 8 Explore and acclimatise at Dingboche ![View from Dingboche](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F5t0RFTk3REfw02XP1oPsaq%2Fd85a0a2b9137d6bc10f5a2620581e027%2FiStock-898928550.jpg&w=2048&q=50) Today you'll have your second acclimatisation day at Dingboche (4410m), which is vital considering the high altitudes you’re now reaching. Fear not, you can get still involved in some optional hikes to the nearby Nagajun Hill or Chukung Village, which both boast panoramic views of Ama Dablam and Makalu. #### Day 9 Dingboche to Lobuche ![Dingboche to Lobuche](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F7bJPG58RoirCYzpmVdgyEg%2Fff839e6097010b425283d2536f02e07f%2FiStock-618526952.jpg&w=2048&q=50) ##### Hiking 5hrs · 7.8km · 690m up · 120m down This morning you're back on the trail, getting close to Base Camp with every step. Begin with a climb at a leisurely pace and cross ice-covered torrents until you reach Lobuche (4910m). Here, you’ll be met with stone houses that sit amongst the frozen wilderness. Only one more night until your goal. #### Day 10 Reach the legendary Everest Base Camp ![Lobuche to Gorak Shep](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2Fe9OTnQoQUBZR9gg9UULxM%2Fde3cfab6aa333b7afb3510ca90bfc023%2FiStock-936491296.jpg&w=2048&q=50) ##### Hiking 6hrs · 11.6km · 630m up · 380m down Ascend to Everest Base Camp (5380m). Congratulations, you're in the company of legends! Take some time to reflect and bask in the achievement, enjoying this famed mountaineering spot. Once you’ve taken in the views and given yourself a massive high-five, you'll continue back to Gorak Shep (5364m) for the night, tucking into a hearty meal at your teahouse before beginning the descent tomorrow. #### Day 11 Climb Kala Patthar for Everest views at sunrise ![Panoramic view of himilayas from Kala Patthar](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F1c7qM3ezWHtIelQbtpEXGe%2F2a87a25de8b80412db1160a113b74811%2FiStock-1129645648.jpg&w=2048&q=50) ##### Hiking 6hrs · 12km · 70m up · 950m down The best time to see Everest and its neighbouring peaks is at sunrise, so expect an early start (before breakfast). If you're not too tired, get involved in the optional hike up Kala Patthar (5550m) – the highest point of the trip, the reward for this exertion is spectacular panoramic views of Everest. The round trip takes about 3.5 hours, and you'll descend to Pheriche (4240m) for the night afterwards. Bring a few light snacks if you're planning to take on the climb. #### Day 12 Pheriche to Phortse ![Pangboche to Namche](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6eazj5RQEDwxsg3fkRUefL%2F6ae675ce7958308abbc04b5f3624ab66%2FiStock-927545736.jpg&w=2048&q=50) ##### Hiking 5hrs · 12km · 425m up · 830m down What goes up, must come down. You'll descend to Pangboche before a climb and descent lead you to Phortse (3835m), a traditional Sherpa village where you'll spend the night. Nearly every household here includes an Everest summiteer, and it's also home to the Khumbu Climbing Centre, where both Nepali and international mountaineers come to train and sharpen their skills. #### Day 13 Phortse to Monjo via Namche ![View from Namche Bazaar, Everest Region, Nepal. GettyImages-1196918078](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F6bUnqB3uUXrmZWHDqT2Yp2%2Fd64a02b10e4a14ff68046969fabdfe75%2FGettyImages-1196918078.jpg&w=2048&q=50) ##### Hiking 5hrs · 14km · 630m up · 1650m down Today you'll hike down to Namche for lunch, then continue to Monjo – a Sherpa village often called the gateway to Sagarmatha National Park. It's tucked into a scenic valley, with the towering peaks of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse continuing to form a dramatic backdrop. #### Day 14 Monjo to Lukla ![Rope bridge ](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2FlqrX5FWEMgDWE2l2uQRc8%2F4d6a64f7bcde234ec3efabd87b165d19%2FiStock-1148398144.jpg&w=2048&q=50) ##### Hiking 4\.5hrs · 11km Lace up your boots for one last day of trekking. After breakfast, set off on the final descent to Lukla (2860m), taking your time to soak it all in – there's no rush today. Following your time together on the trail, you'll say your farewells to the local team at a village along the way, before continuing to Lukla, where the end-of-trek celebrations kick off. #### Day 15 Back to Kathmandu ![Flight Lukla to Kathmandu ](https://www.muchbetteradventures.com/_next/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fm5us57n7qfgl%2F3OlUYdf12IMHhZ2DIq9Ekb%2F16f1eaf47df47b9bfd46f808269d555c%2FiStock-664537786.jpg&w=2048&q=50) ##### Driving 7hrs Board your flight back to Ramechhap (Manthali) after your incredible mountain journey. You'll drive back to the lively heart of Kathmandu in time for some well-earned beers and a celebratory dinner. #### Day 16 Last day in Kathmandu ![Thamel, Kathmandu.

Your host will transfer you back to the airport in time for your flight home.
