| Boilerpipe Text | The Everest Base Camp trek leads to the worldâs most dramatic, majestic, and picturesque in the Himalayas. It is one of the most renowned treks of Nepal that takes to the base of the worldâs highest peak, Mt. Everest. Trek through the alpine region on remote ridges, experience true wilderness, explore
Everest Base Camp
, climb Kala Patthar- one of the best vantage points of Khumbu valley, and enjoy the best sunrise view over majestic peaks are some major highlights of Everest Base Camp trek.Â
This 14 days itinerary of Everest Base Camp is a perfect blend of picturesque views of many of the
worldâs highest mountains
and fascinating Sherpa culture. This adventurous trek starts with a short flight from kathmandu to Lukla, a beautiful Sherpa town. From the very beginning of the trek, youâll get amazed with fabulous views of the mighty Himalayas as you will witness the first captivating mountain views during this short mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla.Â
After landing at Lukla, youâll start your actual Everest trek journey. Walking through well-established trails, you will access different Sherpa settlements such as Phakding, Namche, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Gorakshep. In this EBC journey, youâll not only hike through valleys surrounded by picturesque snow-capped mountains, but also youâll get a deep insight into the Sherpa culture and traditions. Along the Everest Base Camp route, there is plenty to explore and assimilate. Every day will astound you with a wondrous experience!
Another prominent feature of this trek is a hike to Kala Patthar (5,550m/18,204ft) It is one of the best vantage points to get a close-up view of the worldâs tallest peak Mt. Everest. This Kala Patthar viewpoint is also the trekâs highest point, from where youâll get jaw-dropping views of some of the worldâs tallest peaks above 8,000 meters. Youâll get a 360-degree panoramic mountain view, including Mt. Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Pumori, and Mt. Ama Dablam. So you can proudly stand at this viewpoint and get the worldâs best sight ever in your life!
Likewise, the
Everest Base Camp trek difficulty
level is moderate to difficult. However, if you are physically fit and mentally strong, you can complete this trek with a bit of preparation. No doubt, the EBC trek will test both your physical and emotional endurance, but youâll discover both throughout the journey. Everest Base Camp Trek 14 days itinerary offers a big chance to turn your dreams into reality and challenge yourself. In this journey, youâll be able to discover both natural beauty and your potential.Â
The trek is doable all year round, but the best time for the trek is autumn and spring. During the climbing season, which lies between April and May, youâll get a chance to meet real heroes of mountains who are trying to scale Mt. Everest.
Best Time To Travel
Spring (March to May) and autumn (mid-September to November) are considered the
best seasons to trek to Everest Base Camp
. The weather stays dry and clear during these times, making it ideal for trekking and enjoying unobstructed views of mountains. The days are warm and the nights chilly. On the downside, however, these are peak seasons, and the trails get crowded and busy.
During spring, the hillsides are verdant and covered with wildflowers, including rhododendron blooms. It is also the climbing season, and the EBC is transformed into a tented city filled with climbers and Sherpa guides.
Autumn is the most popular season for trekking to Everest Base Camp. With the end of the wet monsoon season, which clears the skies of dust and impurities, you can enjoy crystal clear views during this season. Timing your trek around October will allow you to experience the most important festival in the Everest region, Mani Rimdu. This festival is held in the monasteries of Tengboche, Chiwong, and Thame.Â
You can also opt for a monsoon or winter trek if you want to avoid the crowds. You can enjoy some off-season discounts at teahouses which remain mostly empty during these times. But you should be ready to face some discomforts (rain, snow, and extreme cold) if you take to the trail at these times. The flights also get frequently canceled during these times due to bad weather and poor visibility.
Lukla Flight
The easiest way to reach Lukla (2840m), your Everest Base Camp Trek trailhead, is via a flight. One of the highest and most extreme airports in the world, flying to
Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla
has its own challenges. The chief among them is the weather.
The airport is built on a narrow plateau, over a steep cliff. Navigating the plane along the short and narrow runway is difficult when strong winds whip across the mountains. Surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the world, the weather here is unpredictable and changes frequently. It would be clear and sunny one minute, and the next moment the clouds will appear, and everything will turn hazy. Flights operate only when the weather is stable and visibility clear.
The chances of your Lukla flight getting canceled cannot be ruled out. If this happens, your EBC Trek may get extended by a day or two. So come prepared and keep buffer days so that you may not miss your international flight.
If there is a long delay due to bad weather, we will secure a space for you on a helicopter flight. The cost for the heli flight is not included in the trip price and should be borne by you.
Due to congestion at the Kathmandu airport during the high season (Spring- March, April, Autumn - October, November), flights to and from Lukla now operate
from Manthali Airport
in Ramechhap. The airport lies 132km (4hrs 30mins drive) from Kathmandu.
However, airline companies operate their first and last flights directly from Kathmandu and Lukla (KTM-LUKLA-KTM). If you book your trip early, we can try to secure a place for you on the direct flight to or from Lukla. It will be easier and more comfortable to
fly directly from Kathmandu to Lukla
and vice versa, instead of making that additional journey to Ramechhap.
Helicopter Flights to Everest Region will operate from Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu.
Altitude Sickness & Acclimatization
Remember, you will be trekking to the worldâs highest trekking destination, Everest Base Camp, which lies well above 5000 meters beyond sea level. Here there is less oxygen in the atmosphere, which will make breathing a bit difficult.
To let your body get used to the thin air, you need to walk slowly and steadily and keep your body hydrated. If you try to hasten and walk fast to reach your destination in less time, chances are you may suffer from AMS or Acute Mountain Sickness.
AMS symptoms like dizziness, headache, nausea, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc., are seen at elevations above 2000 meters. Usually, these symptoms occur once you reach Namche or beyond Namche.
Taking Diamox and a good nightâs rest may work for mild cases. Drinking plenty of fluids (water, tea, soup, etc.) and keeping your body hydrated will also help keep the sickness at bay. One should take the necessary precautions to ensure that the condition does not worsen. But if the symptoms worsen, one may have to return to a lower elevation and get medical help.
There are clinics at Lukla, Namche, and Pheriche which offer basic care for minor ailments. In the worst-case scenario, an air evacuation will be arranged, where the patient will be flown to Kathmandu to receive medical aid. AMS, if untreated or ignored, can take your life.
On a high-altitude trek like the trek to EBC, acclimatization is very important. Your body needs time to get used to thin air which can be done by resting at a lower altitude before reaching a higher elevation level.
Our experts have included two days in the itinerary for acclimatization. During your trek, you will be spending extra days at Namche (3440m) and Dingboche (4410m) to acclimatize successfully before trekking further.
Here are the altitudes and oxygen levels at some of the major stops en route to Everest Base Camp:
Places

5,500m/18,209ft
0.5%
Drinking-Water
It is important to keep your body hydrated on the trail as dehydration also causes AMS. One should drink at least 3-4 liters of fluids daily.
We dissuade you from buying bottled water as it adds up to the thrashing problem in the mountains. Moreover, like everything else, bottled water is also expensive in the mountains.
We highly recommend you to carry a reusable water bottle with you, one that can hold hot water. You can use one with a steri pen or an inbuilt filtration system like Life Straw. You can also use water purification tablets to treat the water. While the water in the mountains tends to be pure and without impurities, itâs better not to take chances and filter or treat the water before drinking.
Using chlorine or iodine tablets to treat the water may alter its taste. You can add flavored electrolyte powder (readily available at pharmacies in Kathmandu) to mask the bitter chemical taste. Adding electrolyte to your drinking water may also be beneficial as the minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc.) you lose while walking gets replenished.
Teahouses offer boiled drinking water at an additional cost. It can cost anywhere between 1 USD to 4 USD. Up to Namche, you may have to pay around 1 USD per liter or pot (every teahouse uses a different sized pot). The price increases gradually as you climb higher. You pay the highest for boiled water at Gorak Shep, i.e., 4 USD. While cold water is provided free of charge, it is not advisable to drink untreated tap water.
Internet Connectivity on Everest Base Camp Trek
Despite being the worldâs highest trekking trail, internet connection (though erratic and irregular at some places) is available in the Everest Region.
You can connect with your loved ones while trekking, post updates, and upload pictures on social media. Wi-fi is available at all teahouses up to Gorak Shep. While it is free at some cafes in Lukla and Namche, most teahouses will charge you extra for using their Wi-Fi hotspot.
It will be cheaper and easier to get a Ncell (a private telecom company) sim card in Kathmandu and purchase internet data that could last you for your entire trip. The company offers 3G connectivity up to Everest Base Camp (5364m).
Everest Link, another local internet provider, also offers paid internet access on the trail. You can purchase the username and password at any of the teahouses or shops along the trail.
Packing Checklist for Everest Base Camp Trek
As opposed to popular belief, you donât need much-complicated gear and equipment for an Everest Base Camp adventure. Hereâs a basic checklist of the essential items that you should not forget to bring with you during your EBC Trek:

. Most of the trekking equipment is available on hire in Kathmandu. You can keep your baggage light by only packing the essential items and renting or buying the rest in Kathmandu. Shops in Thamel offer branded as well locally made gear and equipment.  Â
Guide(s) & Staff Arrangements
Everest Base Camp Trek takes you to the highest trekking trail in the world. Having an experienced local guide accompanying you will enrich your trip in so many ways. Trekking with a person who has in-depth knowledge of the mountain will also keep you safe and secure.
When you book an EBC Trek with us, we pair you up with one of our local guides. All our guides have experience of more than 10 years and have a vast knowledge of the area you are visiting. They have completed the trekking guide course and have the required government license to work as mountain guides. They can communicate in English and have received training on wilderness first aid and crisis management.
A chief guide or trek leader will lead the trek. For every 4 trekkers, there will be an assistant guide assisting them personally. One porter will carry the luggage of 2 clients. Ensure that your luggage does not exceed 15 kg, as the porter can only carry a weight of 30 kg.
We believe in the ethical treatment of our staff. All our Guides and Porters are provided with weather-appropriate gear and clothing to battle the harsh weather in the mountains. Before the start of a trek, we ensure that our mountain guides are fully insured. They are given fair wages and treated with respect.
We seriously follow the guidelines set by IPPG (International Porter Protection Group) and offer assistance to porters to develop other skills. A portion of the booking fee goes to fund the education of our field staffsâ kids.
Trip Safety
We ensure the safety of our clients by following all safety protocols during the trip. The Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary has been designed by travel experts and veteran guides who have guided several groups to Everest Base Camp innumerable times.
To prevent AMS, the required number of rest days has been added to the itinerary. Our guides always carry a first-aid kit and pulse oximeter (to measure the oxygen level in your blood) with them. The guides assigned to you have more than 10 years of experience and know what steps to take during an emergency. They are well-trained in wilderness first aid and crisis management.
If a client shows symptoms of AMS and needs to descend to a lower elevation, an assistant guide will escort him/her and follow the safety protocol. He will closely monitor the clientâs condition and take the required steps needed for the client's well-being.
If he/she feels alright after a nightâs rest, the guide will escort the client back to join the group. But if the condition worsens, the client will be escorted down to Lukla or get airlifted to Kathmandu for expert medical aid.
A typical day on the Everest Base Camp Trek
A typical day on the trail begins with a wake-up call at around 6 AM by your guide. Freshen up and get ready. Pack your belongings and head to the dining area for breakfast by 7 AM. Check your luggage for the final time and fill your water bottle before you hit the trail by 8 AM, along with your guide.
To avoid walking in the heat and enjoy clear mountains' views, you make an early start. En route, there will be short breaks to enjoy the views and take photographs. You stop for lunch at a local teahouse around noon or mid-day. After a quick rest of about an hour or 40 minutes, you get back on the trail and continue till you reach your overnight stop.
Upon reaching the stop for the night, you head to your teahouse, check in, and have some rest. Tea with some light refreshments (cookies or biscuits) will be served at 5 PM. As the rooms are not insulated, you can warm yourself by the heater or stove in the communal area.
Exchange stories or play cards with other trekkers and sherpas till dinner is served (around 7 PM). After dinner, your guide will brief you about the next dayâs trek â the route you will take, difficulty, where you will stop for lunch, etc. Afterward, retire for the night and have a well-deserved rest.
On average, you may have to walk 6 to 7 hours daily. The trek to Phakding is the shortest and the easiest, while the hike to Everest Base Camp from Lobuche on the 9th day could be your toughest. On Day 10, a hike to Kala Patthar for the sunrise view is scheduled. So you will have to wake up before 4 AM to reach Kala Patthar before sunrise. Your guide will share the details regarding the hike during the after-dinner briefing on Day 9.Â
Entry Permits & Requirements
The permits you need for the Everest Base Camp trek are â 1) Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit, and 2) Khumbu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit. Unlike other treks in the Nepal Himalaya, you wonât be needing a TIMS (Tourist Information Management System) card.
Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit can be obtained from the Nepal Tourism Boardâs Office in Kathmandu or at the parkâs entrance gate in Monjo by paying NRS 3000. For citizens of SAARC countries, the fee is NRS 1500. You need to fill out the permit form and show your passport or a copy of your passport.
To get the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit, you need to be in Lukla. You have to pay NRS 2000 for the permit at the rural municipality counter, which lies at the edge of the village.
If you
plan to trek to Everest Base Camp from Jiri
, you will be required to pay the Gaurishanker Conservation Area Project Entry Permit fee of NRS 2000. The permit can be obtained from the Nepal Tourism Boardâs office in Kathmandu before the start of your trek.
You wonât have to worry about queuing up to get the permits as the company, or our guides will arrange all the permits for you.
Travel Insurance
For Everest Base Camp Trek, you need a good travel insurance policy that offers you coverage for all activities and altitudes included in your itinerary. The highest altitude you reach is 5,550 meters, and your travel insurance should offer you suitable coverage up to this elevation.
Though we take your safety as our number one priority, we cannot rule out mishaps and emergencies that may occur at this altitude. There is less oxygen in the environment, and trekkers usually suffer from Acute Mountain Sickness, proving fatal if not treated on time. Walking in a treacherous mountain environment also exposes you to physical injuries. Therefore make sure that your insurance covers the cost of all injuries and emergencies that you can face during this trekking adventure. Your insurance policy should especially cover the cost of helicopter evacuation and hospitalization in case of an accident or medical emergency, as these happen to be quite expensive. Check for vaccination requirements as some travel insurance policies makes it mandatory to immunize yourself before you leave your country.Â
Before you decide on a policy, be mindful and donât forget to read the fine print. It would be advantageous for you also to choose a company that offers insurance cover on domestic and international flight cancellations and lost or stolen baggage.
Responsible Travel
Travel responsibly and try to limit any negative impact on the environment. Limit the use of plastic and be mindful of throwing waste in the mountains. When you trek with us, you will be supporting local communities (from the guides and porters to teahouse owners). We, as a company, support sustainable tourism and patronize local businesses. We partner with service providers who work towards saving the environment. As an active member of KEEP (
Kathmandu Environmental Education Project
), we make sure that our trips are environmentally friendly.

Head to the Sherpa Culture Museum and get an insight into Sherpa traditions and culture. An uphill ascent to Everest View Hotel via Shyangboche Airport serves as a good acclimatization climb while offering you close-up views of Mount Everest, Thamserku, and Ama Dablam.
If you feel like it, you can hike over to Khumjung and Kunde villages. Visit the very first school in the Everest Region established by Sir Edmund Hillary in Khumjung.

We take a day off in Dingboche to acclimatize to thehigh altitude. This is your second acclimatization day. A popular stop for trekkers and climbers headed to Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, or ImjaTse; thereâs a lot to do here.
After breakfast, take an acclimatization hike to Nagarjun Hill (5,100m) near the village. It is an upward hike with no technical sections. There may be some loose rocks, and you may have to watch your step as you scramble on some sections. But no technical climbing is required, and apart from the altitude, there's nothing you need to worry about.
Named after a Buddhist hermitage that lies on the hill, Nangkatshang or Nagarjun is one of the best viewpoints in the Khumbu region.

At Thukla Pass, we stop by and pay our respects at the memorial stupas built in honor of mountaineers who lost their lives while climbing Mount Everest. Among the stone memorials dedicated to alpinists Scott Fischer, Rob Hall, and the record-breaking climbing Sherpa Late Babu Chiri Sherpa stand out. The ill-fated Everest expedition where Scott Fischer and Rob Hall lost their lives has been described in John Krakauer's book "Into Thin Air" and made into a feature-length movie named "Everest."
From the trail, one can view the peaks bordering Nepal and Tibet. Lobuche is made up of a small number of local homes and teahouses offering basic facilities. The nights will get colder, so it is wise to cover yourself up as you are now almost three miles above sea level.
Overnight in Lobuche.

## Best Time To Travel
Spring (March to May) and autumn (mid-September to November) are considered the [best seasons to trek to Everest Base Camp](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/blog/best-time-to-visit-everest-base-camp). The weather stays dry and clear during these times, making it ideal for trekking and enjoying unobstructed views of mountains. The days are warm and the nights chilly. On the downside, however, these are peak seasons, and the trails get crowded and busy.
During spring, the hillsides are verdant and covered with wildflowers, including rhododendron blooms. It is also the climbing season, and the EBC is transformed into a tented city filled with climbers and Sherpa guides.
Autumn is the most popular season for trekking to Everest Base Camp. With the end of the wet monsoon season, which clears the skies of dust and impurities, you can enjoy crystal clear views during this season. Timing your trek around October will allow you to experience the most important festival in the Everest region, Mani Rimdu. This festival is held in the monasteries of Tengboche, Chiwong, and Thame.
You can also opt for a monsoon or winter trek if you want to avoid the crowds. You can enjoy some off-season discounts at teahouses which remain mostly empty during these times. But you should be ready to face some discomforts (rain, snow, and extreme cold) if you take to the trail at these times. The flights also get frequently canceled during these times due to bad weather and poor visibility.
***
## Lukla Flight
The easiest way to reach Lukla (2840m), your Everest Base Camp Trek trailhead, is via a flight. One of the highest and most extreme airports in the world, flying to [Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/blog/5-tips-for-kathmandu-to-lukla-flight) has its own challenges. The chief among them is the weather.
The airport is built on a narrow plateau, over a steep cliff. Navigating the plane along the short and narrow runway is difficult when strong winds whip across the mountains. Surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the world, the weather here is unpredictable and changes frequently. It would be clear and sunny one minute, and the next moment the clouds will appear, and everything will turn hazy. Flights operate only when the weather is stable and visibility clear.
The chances of your Lukla flight getting canceled cannot be ruled out. If this happens, your EBC Trek may get extended by a day or two. So come prepared and keep buffer days so that you may not miss your international flight.
If there is a long delay due to bad weather, we will secure a space for you on a helicopter flight. The cost for the heli flight is not included in the trip price and should be borne by you.
Due to congestion at the Kathmandu airport during the high season (Spring- March, April, Autumn - October, November), flights to and from Lukla now operate [from Manthali Airport](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/travel-guide/getting-flight-from-ramechhap-to-lukla) in Ramechhap. The airport lies 132km (4hrs 30mins drive) from Kathmandu.
However, airline companies operate their first and last flights directly from Kathmandu and Lukla (KTM-LUKLA-KTM). If you book your trip early, we can try to secure a place for you on the direct flight to or from Lukla. It will be easier and more comfortable to [fly directly from Kathmandu to Lukla](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/travel-guide/getting-from-kathmandu-to-lukla) and vice versa, instead of making that additional journey to Ramechhap.
Helicopter Flights to Everest Region will operate from Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu.
***
## Altitude Sickness & Acclimatization
Remember, you will be trekking to the worldâs highest trekking destination, Everest Base Camp, which lies well above 5000 meters beyond sea level. Here there is less oxygen in the atmosphere, which will make breathing a bit difficult.
To let your body get used to the thin air, you need to walk slowly and steadily and keep your body hydrated. If you try to hasten and walk fast to reach your destination in less time, chances are you may suffer from AMS or Acute Mountain Sickness.
AMS symptoms like dizziness, headache, nausea, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc., are seen at elevations above 2000 meters. Usually, these symptoms occur once you reach Namche or beyond Namche.
Taking Diamox and a good nightâs rest may work for mild cases. Drinking plenty of fluids (water, tea, soup, etc.) and keeping your body hydrated will also help keep the sickness at bay. One should take the necessary precautions to ensure that the condition does not worsen. But if the symptoms worsen, one may have to return to a lower elevation and get medical help.
There are clinics at Lukla, Namche, and Pheriche which offer basic care for minor ailments. In the worst-case scenario, an air evacuation will be arranged, where the patient will be flown to Kathmandu to receive medical aid. AMS, if untreated or ignored, can take your life.
On a high-altitude trek like the trek to EBC, acclimatization is very important. Your body needs time to get used to thin air which can be done by resting at a lower altitude before reaching a higher elevation level.
Our experts have included two days in the itinerary for acclimatization. During your trek, you will be spending extra days at Namche (3440m) and Dingboche (4410m) to acclimatize successfully before trekking further.
Here are the altitudes and oxygen levels at some of the major stops en route to Everest Base Camp:
| | | |
|---|---|---|
| **Places** | **Altitude** | **Oxygen Level** |
| Lukla | 2,840m/9,318ft | 0\.73% |
| Namche | 3,440m/11,286ft | 0\.64% |
| Dingboche | 4,410m/14,469ft | 0\.58% |
| Lobuche | 4,910m/16,109ft | 0\.53% |
| Gorak Shep | 5,140m/16,864ft | 0\.52% |
| Everest Base Camp | 5,364m/17,598ft | 0\.5% |
| Kala Patthar | 5,500m/18,209ft | 0\.5% |
***
## Drinking-Water
It is important to keep your body hydrated on the trail as dehydration also causes AMS. One should drink at least 3-4 liters of fluids daily.
We dissuade you from buying bottled water as it adds up to the thrashing problem in the mountains. Moreover, like everything else, bottled water is also expensive in the mountains.
We highly recommend you to carry a reusable water bottle with you, one that can hold hot water. You can use one with a steri pen or an inbuilt filtration system like Life Straw. You can also use water purification tablets to treat the water. While the water in the mountains tends to be pure and without impurities, itâs better not to take chances and filter or treat the water before drinking.
Using chlorine or iodine tablets to treat the water may alter its taste. You can add flavored electrolyte powder (readily available at pharmacies in Kathmandu) to mask the bitter chemical taste. Adding electrolyte to your drinking water may also be beneficial as the minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc.) you lose while walking gets replenished.
Teahouses offer boiled drinking water at an additional cost. It can cost anywhere between 1 USD to 4 USD. Up to Namche, you may have to pay around 1 USD per liter or pot (every teahouse uses a different sized pot). The price increases gradually as you climb higher. You pay the highest for boiled water at Gorak Shep, i.e., 4 USD. While cold water is provided free of charge, it is not advisable to drink untreated tap water.
***
## Internet Connectivity on Everest Base Camp Trek
Despite being the worldâs highest trekking trail, internet connection (though erratic and irregular at some places) is available in the Everest Region.
You can connect with your loved ones while trekking, post updates, and upload pictures on social media. Wi-fi is available at all teahouses up to Gorak Shep. While it is free at some cafes in Lukla and Namche, most teahouses will charge you extra for using their Wi-Fi hotspot.
It will be cheaper and easier to get a Ncell (a private telecom company) sim card in Kathmandu and purchase internet data that could last you for your entire trip. The company offers 3G connectivity up to Everest Base Camp (5364m).
Everest Link, another local internet provider, also offers paid internet access on the trail. You can purchase the username and password at any of the teahouses or shops along the trail.

A chief guide or trek leader will lead the trek. For every 4 trekkers, there will be an assistant guide assisting them personally. One porter will carry the luggage of 2 clients. Ensure that your luggage does not exceed 15 kg, as the porter can only carry a weight of 30 kg.
We believe in the ethical treatment of our staff. All our Guides and Porters are provided with weather-appropriate gear and clothing to battle the harsh weather in the mountains. Before the start of a trek, we ensure that our mountain guides are fully insured. They are given fair wages and treated with respect.
We seriously follow the guidelines set by IPPG (International Porter Protection Group) and offer assistance to porters to develop other skills. A portion of the booking fee goes to fund the education of our field staffsâ kids.

## Trip Safety
We ensure the safety of our clients by following all safety protocols during the trip. The Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary has been designed by travel experts and veteran guides who have guided several groups to Everest Base Camp innumerable times.
To prevent AMS, the required number of rest days has been added to the itinerary. Our guides always carry a first-aid kit and pulse oximeter (to measure the oxygen level in your blood) with them. The guides assigned to you have more than 10 years of experience and know what steps to take during an emergency. They are well-trained in wilderness first aid and crisis management.
If a client shows symptoms of AMS and needs to descend to a lower elevation, an assistant guide will escort him/her and follow the safety protocol. He will closely monitor the clientâs condition and take the required steps needed for the client's well-being.
If he/she feels alright after a nightâs rest, the guide will escort the client back to join the group. But if the condition worsens, the client will be escorted down to Lukla or get airlifted to Kathmandu for expert medical aid.

## A typical day on the Everest Base Camp Trek
A typical day on the trail begins with a wake-up call at around 6 AM by your guide. Freshen up and get ready. Pack your belongings and head to the dining area for breakfast by 7 AM. Check your luggage for the final time and fill your water bottle before you hit the trail by 8 AM, along with your guide.
To avoid walking in the heat and enjoy clear mountains' views, you make an early start. En route, there will be short breaks to enjoy the views and take photographs. You stop for lunch at a local teahouse around noon or mid-day. After a quick rest of about an hour or 40 minutes, you get back on the trail and continue till you reach your overnight stop.
Upon reaching the stop for the night, you head to your teahouse, check in, and have some rest. Tea with some light refreshments (cookies or biscuits) will be served at 5 PM. As the rooms are not insulated, you can warm yourself by the heater or stove in the communal area.
Exchange stories or play cards with other trekkers and sherpas till dinner is served (around 7 PM). After dinner, your guide will brief you about the next dayâs trek â the route you will take, difficulty, where you will stop for lunch, etc. Afterward, retire for the night and have a well-deserved rest.
On average, you may have to walk 6 to 7 hours daily. The trek to Phakding is the shortest and the easiest, while the hike to Everest Base Camp from Lobuche on the 9th day could be your toughest. On Day 10, a hike to Kala Patthar for the sunrise view is scheduled. So you will have to wake up before 4 AM to reach Kala Patthar before sunrise. Your guide will share the details regarding the hike during the after-dinner briefing on Day 9.
***
## Entry Permits & Requirements
The permits you need for the Everest Base Camp trek are â 1) Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit, and 2) Khumbu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit. Unlike other treks in the Nepal Himalaya, you wonât be needing a TIMS (Tourist Information Management System) card.
Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit can be obtained from the Nepal Tourism Boardâs Office in Kathmandu or at the parkâs entrance gate in Monjo by paying NRS 3000. For citizens of SAARC countries, the fee is NRS 1500. You need to fill out the permit form and show your passport or a copy of your passport.
To get the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit, you need to be in Lukla. You have to pay NRS 2000 for the permit at the rural municipality counter, which lies at the edge of the village.
If you [plan to trek to Everest Base Camp from Jiri](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/jiri-to-everest-base-camp-trek-21-days), you will be required to pay the Gaurishanker Conservation Area Project Entry Permit fee of NRS 2000. The permit can be obtained from the Nepal Tourism Boardâs office in Kathmandu before the start of your trek.
You wonât have to worry about queuing up to get the permits as the company, or our guides will arrange all the permits for you.
***
## Travel Insurance
For Everest Base Camp Trek, you need a good travel insurance policy that offers you coverage for all activities and altitudes included in your itinerary. The highest altitude you reach is 5,550 meters, and your travel insurance should offer you suitable coverage up to this elevation.
Though we take your safety as our number one priority, we cannot rule out mishaps and emergencies that may occur at this altitude. There is less oxygen in the environment, and trekkers usually suffer from Acute Mountain Sickness, proving fatal if not treated on time. Walking in a treacherous mountain environment also exposes you to physical injuries. Therefore make sure that your insurance covers the cost of all injuries and emergencies that you can face during this trekking adventure. Your insurance policy should especially cover the cost of helicopter evacuation and hospitalization in case of an accident or medical emergency, as these happen to be quite expensive. Check for vaccination requirements as some travel insurance policies makes it mandatory to immunize yourself before you leave your country.
Before you decide on a policy, be mindful and donât forget to read the fine print. It would be advantageous for you also to choose a company that offers insurance cover on domestic and international flight cancellations and lost or stolen baggage.

When you trek with us, you will be supporting local communities (from the guides and porters to teahouse owners). We, as a company, support sustainable tourism and patronize local businesses. We partner with service providers who work towards saving the environment.

## Everest Base Camp Trek FAQs
[Expand All]()
[The weather forecast says rain/clouds/snow in Lukla on our Flight Day. Are we in for a rough flight?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq0)
When you are up in the mountains in Nepal, we would suggest you to be ready for anything. Weather forecasts for Lukla are never correct and different sources will give you different information. If it is a really bad day in terms of weather, the airlines will themselves cancel the flight and you might have to wait till the weather clears. Yes, flying in high altitude is never easy, even on a clear sunny day, the plane might face turbulence because of the wind blowing from the mountains. But overall the flight to Lukla is very exciting and itâs an experience that you will never forget
[What temperatures can you expect at the EBC during spring and autumn?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq1)
These are the best months to do this trek, as the weather is mild and the temperatures range from 12 to 15 degrees. The skies generally remain clear and the days are pleasant and warm. You can expect an occasional spring shower and hazy weather during spring. The mountain views are stunning in September, as there is more snow on the mountains. Nights can be freezing as the temperature dips after sun down.
[How much will I be spending on the trail per day?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq2)
If you have booked a package with us you wonât be spending much as accommodation and 3 meals are already included in your trip price. You may have to personally pay for items like beverages and drinks, extra snacks, hot showers, electronic device charging, wifi etc. USD 20 to 30 (NRS 2000-3000) per day will suffice.
[What do you recommend for water along the Everest trek?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq3)
You can either buy bottled mineral water or fill up a reusable water bottle with boiled or sterilized water. During the trek, the teahouses or lodges serve you bottled and filtered water which is generally safe and have to be paid for. A liter of water would cost anything between 1 to 4 USD. As you go higher the cost of all commodities, including water, increases. But do note there is no dearth or scarcity of drinking water at teahouses. We encourage our guest to use iodine and other purifying agents to treat the water before drinking. You need to drink at least 3-4 litres of water each day to stay hydrated at higher altitudes. Keeping your body hydrated helps you to keep away the symptoms altitude sickness.
No, the company wonât provide drinking water or any extra drinks or beverages other than the ones that are specified in the trip cost.
[How much tips should I give to the guide, porter and driver?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq4)
While tipping is not mandatory it is a nice way of showing your appreciation to the people who have helped you enrich your holiday experience. It all depends on how far you are pleased and satisfied with their services. There is no fixed amount, but many of our clients offer 8-10 percent of the total tour price as tips.
[Is it hard to climb Everest Base Camp?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq5)
You need to be in good shape and have an ability to walk 6 â 7 hours uphill and downhill per day. This trek is suitable for passionate trekkers. Positive attitude, excellent health, and strong determination are required for successful finish. Past hiking experience would be an asset but no technical skill is required for this trip. Besides, it is advisable to trek with a highly reputed trek operator like us, with experienced guides who can help you with significant mental preparation with a personal touch.
Regarding the difficulty, the only challenging factor is the altitude. Our Everest Base Camp trek itinerary provides ample time for acclimatization. Neither ropes nor ice picks are needed for this trip and no vertical climbs are involved. Novice travelers in a good physical shape, who exercise regularly, has positive attitude and has healthy heart and lungs can easily complete this adventurous trip.
[How long do we stay at Everest Base Camp? Can we spend the night at the Base Camp?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq6)
As Everest Base Camp is situated at a high altitude of 5,364 metres, you spend only 1 to 2 hours at the base camp. Since the base camp lies at the foot of the worldâs tallest mountain Mount Everest, the hike to EBC is probably the highlight of your trek. Though one cannot view the summit of Mount Everest from the base camp (as the mountain is too huge) you can get close up views of the massive walls of Everest, Khumbutse, Lingtren and Nuptse. The Khumbu Icefall appears spectacular. Though the icefall lies close to the Base Camp, it is not possible explore it as you need proper climbing gear to walk on it. But you get to explore the actual base camp of the Everest expedition groups. During climbing season, it is like a mini city of tents and you get to meet mountaineers (sometimes celebrities too!) from different countries attempting to summit Mount Everest. After taking pictures and soaking in the magnificent views you descend down to Gorak Shep again. Please do note the visibility of mountains depends on the weather. If itâs foggy you may not get good views of the mountains.
No, we do not spend the night at Everest Base Camp as there are no teahouses or lodges there. Moreover it is advisable and more comfortable to spend the night at a lower elevation. After enjoying the views we trek down to Gorak Shep and stay overnight at a local teahouse.
[Can you see the summit of Mount Everest from Everest Base Camp?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq7)
No, the summit of Mount Everest is not visible from Everest Base Camp. Rising above 8000 metres, the mountain is just too gigantic to be viewed in its entirety from its base. The summit of Everest can be viewed from Kala Patthar and from places en route to EBC. If you want to view Mount Everest without having to trek to Everest region, you can do it by driving to Nagarkot, taking an Everest Mountain Flight and an Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour. The best view you get of Mount Everest is from Kala Patthar.
[What sort of toilet facilities will be available on the Everest Trek?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq8)
In all our Everest Treks the teahouses that we use have western toilets. In luxury lodges and teahouses in the lower elevations the rooms come with attached bathrooms and hot showers. At higher elevations the facilities may be a bit basic and you may have to share the bathroom with other travellers. Please do note that in case of extreme cold, the water in the toilet basin may freeze and you may have to use an Asian (also known as âsquatâ) style of toilet that is located outside. Please do carry toilet paper rolls with you at all times. It is important that you carry enough rolls of toilet paper and hand sanitizer while trekking.
[Can I make payment with my credit card or with my own currency while Everest trekking?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq9)
You need to have local currency to purchase items on the trail. While Lukla and Namche in the Everest Region may have lodges that would accept payment with cards, we strongly advise to carry enough local cash with you to buy essential items en route. You can exchange your currency at any of the money exchange centres in Kathmandu or use your credit or debit card at the local ATMs to get local currency.
[Where can I store my extra luggage while trekking?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq10)
You can store it at your hotel (most hotels in Kathmandu have storage facilities) or you can leave it at our office.
[Is there WIFI available on the Everest Base Camp trail?](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek#faq11)
Yes, wifi hotspots are available on the Everest Base Camp trail. But please do keep in mind, due to the mountainous terrain the network maybe erratic. Often times the signal gets lost or the strength is poor.

The absolute best trip. Third Rock Adventures are just brilliant. Always accessible to answer questions, from Naba to Ujawal, the manger, nothing was too much to ask. Our EBC trip was made even more magical by our guide, Dharma. Patient,calm, funny, always willing to help, checking up on us constantly to make sure we were ok. Predicting the weather and making the right calls and being spot on. We couldnât have asked for a better guide for our family. The porters, Tilak and Ajaya, employed by Third Rock Adventures were excellent and wonderful people. The city tour provided by Third Rock was just as excellent. Our guide Jaya so knowledgeable and interesting. I canât recommend Third Rock Adventures enough. We will never use any other operator in Nepal. Every little detail is thought about to make it the most seamless experience. Book Third Rock Adventures\!

### [Seamless Everest Base Camp Journey with Outstanding Support](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/seamless-everest-base-camp-journey-by-lewis)
My Everest Base Camp trek with Third Rock Adventures was an unforgettable experience. The views from base camp were simply stunning and made all the effort worthwhile. Although it was quite busy, our guide Bimal Thapa handled everything with great professionalism. The meals and accommodation were consistently excellent with no compromises. I asked to extend my stay in Namche, and Bimal arranged it seamlessly with Naba. I had a lovely time ŐĄŐľŐśŐżŐĽŐ˛, exploring and buying gifts for my family. A very well-managed trek overall.

Recently back home finishing a memorable and challenging 12 days EBC trek. Weather is quite unpredictable in the mountains and each day was different and challenging in its own way. It wouldnât have been possible without the support of this amazing people who are experienced in their field. I want to take this opportunity to talk about this amazing and supportive team which accompanied our group. MAN our wonderful trek lead was very professional, helpful and informative. Our assistant guide DAN is really a strong and wonderful human being helping us all through be it during the trek or at our accommodation for any small need. Our porters EVAN, PASANGA and KUBIRDHAN were always prompt greeting us early in the morning with a warm smile, keeping an eye on each one of us and making sure to help whenever I am struggling during the trek and motivating me until I reach my destination for the day. Lastly the brain behind executing this trek and making it happen without any discomfort is NABA AMAGAI the head of THIRD ROCK ADVENTURES who treated us so warmly and patiently addressing any of our concerns. I would highly recommend this company for any of your Himalayan adventures in Nepal. They know the mountains and we can relax and enjoy each and every day of our trek with peace of mind.

### [Trekking EBC with Third Rock Adventures](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/trekking-ebc-with-third-rock-by-thinarahchagi)
Trekking to Everest Base Camp (EBC) is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and having experienced, professional guides and dedicated porters made the journey not only possible, but truly unforgettable. Its possible with Third Rock Adventure. Our guide Man Tamang handled everything from managing our teahouse accommodations to checking on our health daily to prevent altitude sickness. Our porters Evan and Nima deserve immense respect and recognition. Carrying heavy loads across rugged, high-altitude terrain is no small task, and they did it with smiles and grace. Many were shy and soft-spoken, but always willing to share a smile or help with bags. They would often arrive at our next teahouse long before us, having already prepared our duffels for our arrival. Itâs humbling to realize the trek wouldnât be possible for many of us without their strength and support.

Amazing Everest Base Camp Trek with Mr. Man Tamang, Evan & Nima We had the most incredible experience trekking to Everest Base Camp, thanks to our amazing guide Mr. Man Tamang and our strong, friendly porters Evan and Nima. Mr. Man was professional, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were safe, healthy, and enjoying every step of the journey. He explained everything clearly, managed our acclimatization perfectly, and was always there when we needed him. Evan and Nima were incredibleâcarrying our gear through tough terrain and altitude with smiles and great energy. Their support was key to making this journey smooth and unforgettable. If youâre heading to EBC, I 100% recommend this team. They turned a physically demanding trek into a joyful, meaningful experience weâll never forget.

Mine was an amazing adventure to Everest Base Camp. We were trekking with Third Rock Adventure, my guide, Man Bahadur Tamang, and our porters, Evan and Nima, were the reason we made it. Their experience, support, motivation and guidance throughout our journey were invaluable. I would definitely recommend Third Rock Adventures to anyone; their professionalism and care for customers are second to none. Kathmandu is also back to normal and safe to travel, so if you are thinking of taking a trekking adventure in Nepal, I recommend contacting Third Rock Adventures before contacting anyone else.

Third Rock Adventures took an overwhelming dreamâstanding at the foot of the worldâs highest mountainâand made it feel smooth, safe, and soul-shaking. They nailed logistics so I could focus on the journeyâSherpa villages, prayer-flag monasteries, glacier views, teahouse culture, and the final terrain at Base Camp itself all fell into place. I am thankful to Naba for the best service I could only imagine.

Naba, the founder, called me before I even left US, and the team helped me plan the entire trip, ensuring I had everything I needed. I was given excellent advice on gear, what to expect, and tips to stay healthy while trekking in high altitudes. The trek itself was breathtaking, with stunning views of the Himalayas and the Everest region.

Review for the Everest Basecamp Trek with Third Rock Adventures My Everest Basecamp Trek with Third Rock Adventures was an absolute dream come true! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and I can wholeheartedly recommend this experience. The accommodations along the route were excellent. The teahouses were clean, cozy, and provided a welcoming atmosphere to unwind after a long day of trekking. The food was delicious and freshly prepared â a perfect mix of local and international dishes to keep us energized. A special shoutout goes to the amazing team that made this journey so memorable. Our guide, Rishi Ram Bhantana, was outstanding â professional, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs. The porters, Arjun Tamang and Tilak Tamang, were absolute heroes, carrying our gear with such care and always greeting us with smiles. Their hard work and positive attitude made a huge difference. Behind the scenes, the organization was seamless, thanks to Naba and the office team. They ensured every detail was taken care of, from permits to logistics, making the entire trek stress-free and enjoyable. The landscapes on the way to Everest Basecamp were simply breathtaking, but it was the incredible support and care from the Third Rock Adventures team that truly made this trek unforgettable. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the Himalayas. A huge thank you to Rishi, Arjun, Tilak, Naba, and the entire team for this extraordinary journey\!

### [The best and only partner you need for all your trekking plans in Napal\!](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/the-best-and-only-partner-by-raja)
I did the 14 day Everest base camp tour with Naba's Third Rock Adventure and Rishi as our guide. I want to start off by saying that I will never any tour in Nepal with anybody else. It has been a wonderful experience starting with initial conversations way back in March until the end of the tour in Dec 19th. Naba has been exceptional with answering all my silly questions, some schedule changes and always responded promptly. The accommodations in the trek were great. Naba even helped with local travel in Khatmandu and airport drop-off and pick up after my trek ended when I went to India, without any additional charges. I can't talk enough about out guide Rishi and how excellent he is. He made the entire trek so memorable not only with his years of experience and knowledge but also with his General personality. He has become a lifelong friend. Overall it was an awesome experience and I would strongly suggest anyone planning any treks in Nepal to go only with Third Rock Adventures! And as a bonus, ask Rishi to be your guide :)

### [Our Journey with Third Rock Adventures](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/our-journey-with-third-rock-by-ian)
Many thanks for arranging this and allowing me to be a part of the Berger family adventure. Here is my testimonial for Third Rock Adventures: The Third Rock team provided us with a group of experienced guides and porters that did everything in their power to make our trekking experience fantastic. Our team including Shieva, Rishi, Mhek Raj and Sujan worked very hard while we were on trail to ensure every guest was secure. They were very patient with our pace and if needed would take on the extra weight of a day pack or two to lighten the load. I constantly felt someoneâs eyes on me watching to ensure I had the strength to climb a particular section or even to provide if more water. They were there to ensure everyone succeeded in completing the days trek. Once off the trail the team became great hosts and worked to make our tea house experiences as good as possible. They had our bags by our rooms, served the cleansing end of day ginger tea, and served all of our meals. As the work was complete the team integrated into the group to share thoughts on the next dayâs events, and more importantly to give us insight into Nepali life and culture, which we all found fascinating. The Third Rock team also demonstrated the ability to get helicopter access for people in our group that needed to get medical help. This was an impressive display of care for our group. Overall I felt that we were well looked after by an experienced team that you could count on to make this Himalayan trek a truly unique journey. Many thanks to the Third Rock team.

We just returned from Everest Base Camp trek. The mountains and scenery were truly spectacular, but it was the people from Third Rock that made this adventure even more special and memorable! Naba Angai and his team took care of all the details and logistics of this trek from the beginning till the end, and Naba was great in communicating and responding quickly to our needs. Our guides Rishi, Shieva and Mhek Raj were all super supportive, attentive, caring and experienced. They are absolutely the BEST in Class! Big praises to all our porters too, for making themselves available to help carry some of our daypacks on the long hard days. Our guides and porters were always happy, energetic and in good spirit, which helped motivate us to keep going even when our bodies felt tired and broken. A couple of days my energy level dropped so low due to the altitude and struggled to continue on, but Mhek Raj, Shieva and Rishi took turn to walk by my side and encouraged me to dig deep and keep going. They made us feel safe and cared for everyday. Without our guidesâ support, I donât think I would have made it to the Base Camp. I am forever thankful to them and will never forget them.

I heartily applaud the Third Rock guides and porters who assisted me on my failed trek on the EBC Trail. Those who were assigned the duty of working closely with me include Shiva, Sujan, Rishi, Mekh Raj, and Tilak. They are all men of a generous spirit, personable attention, and flawless commitment to their clients. They graciously shared their lives and hopes with me, as I did with them. They are not employees, they are ambassadors. These and other staff who gave themselves to carrying my wife's unbearable burdens have earned the same honors. I'm especially referring here to Buddhi. They are a credit to the people of Nepal. I will never see them again, for my grief will not permit me to return, but I will not forget them, and will pray for their families' prosperity.

### [Top-Notch Guidance and Support on the Everest Base Camp Trek with Third Rock Adventures](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/top-notch-guidance-and-support-on-by-laurie)
Our lead guides, Shiva Bhatta and Rishi Rham Bhantana from Third Rock Adventures (https://g.co/kgs/tvA3oFK) have been amazing, supportive, personal, and their experience and knowledge, and wisdom leading the Everest Base Camp trek is unmatched as guides. Shiva was especially helpful as his expertise in area was first class. His fluency in English is fantastic. Rishi kept us all organized and on schedule. He is quieter than Shiva, but clearly was aware of everything going on throughout the trek. His sense of humor became very apparent when finally landed back in Kathmandu. Additionally, assistant guide Mekh Raj Tamang was excellent. His professional demeanor and work ethic were demonstrated daily. His kind and polite mannerisms from guide support to serving food to making sure we had everything we needed should be recognised. He helped me one particular day when we going taking a side trip (at my request) beyond the Recycling Trip stop (I can't remember the formal name) to hike to a better view of the surrounding mountains towering above. I really valued his assistance throughout this trip. Shiva and Rishi are able to juggle the amount of porters and assistant guides needed as our situation and needs changed accordingly, keeping a close eye on all of us. There is NO WAY we would have been able to to accomplish the trek without them. They were there to answer any questions I had (which was a lot) and kept the team informed daily. I want to personally thank my porter, Buddhi Tamang beginning on Day 11 of the trek. He was worth every penny and was extremely helpful well as physically fit, and had great stamina to help me with my pack daily as well as lending me a strong arm when needed, which was a lot of the time as the trek progressed with the harder terrain. I personally cried (unexpectedly) when extending my appreciation on the last day we were in Luckla, because we spent so much time together. We were able to get to know each other and communicate by whistles and hand signals. While Budhi's English skills were minimal, I still felt safe and secure being able to complete this trek with his inordinate amount of help. I would unequivocally use him again. Furthermore, I want to shout out to Tilak Tamang and Arjun Tamang. During the 2-mile trek from Gorak Shep to EBC, these two helped me across difficult boulders and terrain, and showed up now and then, to greet me with a smile and offer assistance if needed. Third Rock Adventures and their team of guides, assistant guides and porters are first class. I'm very grateful\!

Our flights into and out of Lukla were both cancelled due to poor weather conditions, the guide (Surya) and the company made great effort to rearrange everything and get us to our destinations without much trouble. Surya is very knowledgeable about the region and took excellent care of us for the entire trip. He paid attentions to everyday details and set a perfect pace for the trip.

### [Beautiful Team and Great Trek - Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/beautiful-team-and-great-trek-by-kaiden)
Finally did the Everest Base Camp trek, after planning for two years. With so many questions and doubt, I did enough research and googled every little detail. I was determined that I will left no stone unturned when it comes to trekking to the base camp. Luckily, I got to chat with the team of Third Rock and exchanged many emails, asking again and again. They were so prompt and friendly. Naba called me, I was hesitant but answered. He briefed everything, being helpful. He shared the details of the guide if we were to trek with them. I even read his profile and found him the perfect company for the trek. The price was affordable considering the service and guide. We booked after 10 days, after exchaning lots of email, and calls. When we were in Kathmandu, they welcomed us and immediately had a pre-trek meeting with the guide and the next day, we head to the mountain, experiencing wonderful things. The flight to Lukla was one hell of a flight. Namche bazar was so happening town amidst the mountain. We could see Everest from there. Trekked for 5-6 hours for a couple of day and finally reached the base camp of the highest mountain in the world. What an experience. I was determined to do this trek and did it without any problems. The credit goes to Naba and his team. Wholeheartedly thankful to them. Highly recommended company.

### [Great Everest](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/great-everest-by-evan)
We completed the trek in just 13 days. Everest Base Camp Trek is full of adventure. Make sure your guide is experienced and knows the nitty-gritty of the trek. Our guide was superb and fast with booking room, and handling thing. When we were supposed to reach Dingboche at 7 pm, we couldn't reach and he grabbed torch light from the teahouse and retraced his steps back to us for our comfort. This was a great gesture. And if I have to sum up, EBC trek is a must-do trek once in a lifetime.

We booked Everest Base camp trek with Naba's agency as recommended by one of our close friends who had traveled with them few years back. He has done 4-5 treks and short tour in Nepal with Third Rock. We had a nice time and were paid back for every dime that we spent. Experienced guide made it even more easier at some of the difficult portions on the trail.Thank you guys\!

We DID THE best Trek of a lifetime. I would like to thank Naba for managing the trek to Everest Base Camp. The guide you provided us, Rishi was a perfect guide for this trip. With his encouragement and support, we completed this trek in 14 days reaching base camp and hiking up to Kala Pattar. Everything was properly planned, from flights to accommodation and food. We were also lucky to have an honest and hardworking Porter. Thank you, Mr. Rishi Bantana for being such a humble person in the mountain. And best part was that Naba was continuously updating our status and position throughout the trek. This was my best experience in Nepal. I would like to recommend Naba and his company for adventure to Nepal Himalaya.

### [Best Trek Ever](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/best-trek-ever-by-albert)
Recently did my best ever trek to Everest Base Camp. Never thought that this trek to EBC will give me so much of memories. I with my best friends planned it since 2016 and finally did it. We did thorough research before we could trust some random company. What mattered to us was the client's satisfactory and their review and luckily we got to contact Naba from Third Rock Adventures. He had extensive knowledge of treks and tours in the Himalayas of Nepal and we could not simply let it go, so booked with him. Just before a week to our flight to Nepal, Naba personally called me and consulted the practices and gears for the trek. He also let me talk with my trekking leader and that really was professional. When we were in Kathmandu, we had nice talk and pre-trekking meeting. We shopped whatever was needed in Thamel. The time was perfect, weather was lovely, had an opportunity to meet with Sherpas in Namche. I always admired their strength in the Himalayas. Got nice photographs of the himalayas and Sherpas. Our guide Rishi was firm and friendly. He pre-managed everything and had us enjoy the trek to the fullest. No altitude problem- thanks to the itinerary that included 2-days acclimatization in Namche and Dingboche. We had ample time to hike and get going with Himalayan lifestyle. Our meal was great, loved DAL BHAT and the hospitality of Nepali people. When we were back after our successful trek, we had FAREWELL DINNER. This was a great treat for us. Our words here may not be able to justify the service offered by Third Rock. We want to thank them from the core of our heart for such wonderful service.

The trip itself was well planned out, even when we encountered a couple curve balls. The daily treks, lodging, meals, checks, etc. showed this group was knowledgeable and knew the best options. Never once did I doubt or worry about our safety and well-being. We were in great hands. What really made it special was our guides Shiva and Gopal. Their guidance and friendship made the trip special and one to never forget.

The trip was organized so well I could not have asked for any more. My guide on the trek was Deepak Rana who took care of me every step of the way, and it was his instructions that got me there.

I will be returning for a different trek in the future and will definitely book with the same team.

Our trip to EBC went very well with the best organizer and outstanding team of professionals. The 12 day trek (14 days total in Nepal) with Third Rock Adventures was one of our highlights of this year. This was a private tour just for 2 of us. Communication with Naba (founder) to confirm dates and logistics was much professional and clear. When we arrived in Nepal, everything went smoothly with airport transfers, excellent accommodation for the days we were in Kathmandu and domestic flights to and from Lukla. While on the trek our guide Bimal was knowledgable and helpful and was open to accommodate when the weather turned poor and we were determined to reach EBC. The itinerary really organized from maintaining acclimatization and letting ourselves free to see around Kathmandu.

Whenever someone had a slight headache, the guides would set a slower pace and keep a close eye on us and remind us to hydrate along the way. They also adjusted the itinerary to make the descent easier for us. Along the way, we sang and danced and had such a great time. Highly recommended guides and company!

The long-awaited trip to Everest Base Camp went as planned with Third Rock Adventures and the experience was mesmerizing. Mr. Bimal was our guide and he is a gem. He's reliable, very knowledgeable, patient, organized, always positive and always promotes an atmosphere of calmness, peacefulness yet enjoyment. Bimal inserted a couple of acclimatization days to ensure we remain comfortable. Once we completed the trip to Everest Base Camp, then returned to Namche Bazaar and Lukla, then flew back to Kathmandu. I believe this is a must-visit attraction once in a life.

We had an amazing trekking experience with Third Rock Adventures. It was the most adventurous trip we have ever done as a couple. Our trekking guide, Bimal was excellent. He has in depth knowledge about the Everest region and surrounding area. We started our journey flying from Kathmandu to Lukla and from there we trekked all the way up to Everest base camp. It was a hard trekking but our guide Bimal made it easier, giving us some tips or telling us something about the region or something funny to make our minds diverting from the difficulties. When we reached the base camp we had a nice surprise: a very hot cup of milk tea! Maybe it was "the most delicious tea we have ever had".... We want to thank you all the team who helped us make our dream come true. Namaste.

We had a good walking pace, did the necessary acclimatization days to prepare the body for the altitude and he told me a lot about the mountains and the Nepalese culture. I highly recommend Third Rock Adventures for the trekking trips in Nepal.

We came into contact with Third Rock Adventures while searching for our travel operator in Nepal. It was my mom and I went to the 14 days trek from Lukla to EBC, although we cut it short by flying back to Kathmandu from Gorekshep as we were exhausted from the trip. The overall experience was wonderful! Our guide, Deepak, was very informative and really tried his best to help us to reach EBC! Without him, we might not be able to catch up our schedule for the last day!!! I would definitely recommend Third Rock Adventures for their outstanding services.

### [Wonderful trip ever](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/wonderful-trip-ever-by-farah)
The adventure I had with Third Rock Adventures was amazing and the arrangement of the tour was far more than I expected. My flight from Bangkok was delayed for one hour, and I had to wait at the custom for another two hours so the driver had to wait for me for three hours in total. Our guides, Bimal and Ram were very helpful during the trek. We received personalized services although we were in a big group of 14 people. Bimal was the best guide I ever met. He was genuinely caring and knowledgeable, he made the trip a lot more enjoyable to all the guests including me. I highly recommend Bimal as a guide for anyone who wants to do the trek. Due to my health issue, I had to stop at Thukla and went down for proper medical treatment in a hospital in Pheriche. Bimal had assigned a porter - Rupesh to accompany me. Rupesh had done an incredible job as a porter, a guide and a lifesaver. I truly appreciate his great support during my trip. Since I had to go down to rest, Rupesh even provided me with extra service by taking me to Ama Dablam base camp which was not included in the itinerary. I was amazed by his kindness and knowledge. I am very pleased with the services provided by Third Rock Adventures. Thank you.

I was initially aware that trekking in mountains is not an easy game. Traveling to third world countries is not an easy game. It is easy though to get lost in all of it for us. Still some of us feel the urge to experience the beauty and extreems of Himalayas and Nepal like countries. Third Rock Adventure people are for sure best in the business of bringing you that experience in a safest way possible. Thank you to our guide Bimal and entire Third Rock Adventure's team.

It was a great experience trekking along the world's highest mountain trails. Third Rock Adventures and the team will figure out a pace that pushes your ability, or stroll through the wonderous landscapes. In a group of 4 trekkers & guide, we deviated off the treaded path often enough to explore the hidden cultures within the Everest valley. Our trek lasted 14 days and we still remember every bit of the trip. Highly recommended.

Our trek to Everest Base Camp was the most memorable one. Our guide Mr Deepak who are well experienced in EBC trekking thus made our journey smoother, enjoyable and adventurers. The entire 14 days trip was well organised, especially the sequence of acclimatization was well planned and guided. We don't have much altitude sickness or any other issues. Basically, it was a great trip. We take this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank our experienced guide and the Potter. The trekking program and the service were very satisfactory, organized by Third Rock Adventures. We will again use this company for our future trips.

I just wanted to thank you all at Third Rock Adventures for a fantastic experience. My son and I have just returned home recently from a group trek to Everest Base Camp, with your wonderful guide Mr. Dol. Your company looked after all of our needs brilliantly, including accommodation at Hotel Moonlight, a great trek to base camp, a fascinating tour of Kathmandu, and a very enjoyable cultural dinner and show to finish off our time in Nepal. Our guide did an excellent job of helping us along every step of the way. He was so helpful in making sure that we got our flights to Lukla, including the bus trip to Ramechhap. He looked after us at all times, ensuring that we were safe and well and able to fully enjoy the experience. The porters also did a great job in helping us with all of our gear. We appreciate everything that they did for us.

He knew when we needed a break, fabulous English, kept us motivated and ensured we were in good health checking our oxygen and heart rate every night. He knew so much information about the mountains around you including heights and stories. He made us laugh and by the end we became great friends with him. He made the trip!! We would recommend this service to anyone in future.

First of all, I want to thank my family who funded my trek to Nepal. Secondly, and most importantly, thanks to Third Rock Adventure who made this happen. It was my dream to trek to Everest Base Camp. I have to say this, it took me almost 4 years to do it. And now, I can brag about it. My experience in Nepal is truly unbelievable. It is more than what we read on blogs and watch vlogs on YouTube. It really is a wonderful adventure. The people of Nepal, the natural beauty and the lofty mountains, they all surprised me. My guide was exceptional. He guided me every single day and in the very best way. I couldn't expect more. The foods were new to me. Dal Bhat is the best! (Everybody says that!) Standing at Everest Base Camp was incredible. I was literally crying. I will soon visit Nepal Again. Thanks, everyone at Third Rock Adventures.

I never had stepped into the Himalayas and for me, it was the most physically draining activity. Well... Iâm an old man. Luckily Third Rock Adventures was with me every step of the way, which made it possible for me to tick this off my bucket list. Thank you Dol (guide) for your unbelievable patience and care. The experience, natureâs beauty and views were worth every arduous step. To future adventure seekers to EBC, I advise for you to keep your bag below 15kg and to bring some honey sweets or throat drops for the hikes above 4000m. Your throat gets dry above that height. I highly appreciate the efforts by all the team members in making our trip a success story.

This trip was the most exciting and amazing trip that I have ever experienced. My guide Dol and his team at Third Rock Adventures looked after me and the rest of the group from the start of the trip to the final farewell night in Katmandu. Travelling alone can be a daunting experience but as soon as we got started and I met the rest of the group all my nerves disappeared. Definitely a defining moment in my life. The views, the people, the journey was just everything and more that I had hoped for. I want to go back to Nepal one day and when I do, it will be with Third Rock again.

From the time I emailed this company to when we returned to our home, everything was flawless. I emailed several outfits organization in Nepal but Third Rock Adventures was the first to respond with questions to plan a perfect trip for us to Everest. I realized right away we found the right people to work with. Considering we didn't know exactly what we wanted to do, every step of the way was organized for us. Even after we had weather delays (to be expected) Our guide babu and Third Rock Adventures made alternate hotel accommodations and revised our tea houses on the trail. When we trekked as far as our schedule allowed, we turned around and headed back down. Third Rock Adventures made it all possible. I will definitely come back to Nepal for another Himalayan journey and will do it with Third Rock Adventures. Thank you all and Namaste.

Travelling is my passion but to do the Everest Base Camp trek successfully was my big dream and it ultimately came true. This was a once in a lifetime holiday and was really pleased that Deepak and Third Rock Adventures made it such a great experience. We spent an enjoyable two weeks trekking up to Everest Base Camp. I found Third Rock Adventures to be well organised, and communicated well before our trip. Deepak showed us the best places to eat and took us around the city. We then went on our trek, where I couldn't fault the guiding, accommodation and meals. I even became unwell at one point and Deepak went out of his way to make sure I was well looked after.

This time I came to Nepal for a popular trek to Everest Base Camp. Then I luckily had the most amazing 12 day hike from Lukla to Everest Base Camp and back with Third Rock Adventures. Using a guide was most informative and helpful. I also opted for a porter as the return trip is over 100km at altitude which is intensive - even if you are fit. Hiking the Himalayas is both beautiful and rewarding and I would highly recommend it, no matter your age or your fitness level. I would do it again in a heart beat and cannot wait to come back.

We did the EBC with Third Rock Adventures and it was such the Professionalism they showed that we decided to do the Pokhara tour with them after finishing the trek. From the very first moment they've always been keen to help and have made things easy for us. Our guide for the EBC expedition was Dol Amgai and from the very first moment we had such good chemistry between us mainly because he's such an easy-going person and also very welcoming. He has been very kind to us and attentive and gave us all flexibility we might need at certain moments. We also learned a lot through him as he's got the hell of an experience in the mountains. We will use Third Rock Adventures for our further trips without hesitation.

We were searching for a trustworthy company to operate our tours in Nepal. Third Rock Adventures came highly recommended from a fellow adventurer for our EBC Trek. and they delivered! Naba made all the arrangements and made our trip hassle-free. As our main contact for the trip, Naba was always prompt in answering any questions we had and accommodated our requests. From the moment we landed in Kathmandu, throughout the trek, to the evening of our departure, Naba was always available and in contact with us and our guides. The logistics were very well coordinated. Our guide, Deepak, was very knowledgeable and was patient with our slow hiking pace. The porters worked hard to ensure our gear was promptly waiting for us at our next stop. What we noticed were Third Rock Adventures clients who have been coming back to Nepal for years and booking with the company. To me, that is a sign of a great client relationship, service and reliability. We plan to be back again in Nepal for more Himalayan treks, and we'll be sure to avail of Third Rock Adventure's great service again! Thank you, Naba, Deepak and Third Rock Adventures, for an enjoyable EBC Trek\!

All thanks to the wonderful guide, whose expertise let us enjoy to the fullest. We enjoyed every moment, and the most memorable was the Lukla flight, and night in Namche Bazar. I would love to travel to Namche Bazaar again.. The moment we stepped into base camp, we were awed by the sight of the lofty mountains. It was a dream come true. Last words- superb trek, superb travel agency and superb views\!

### [Journey to Everest Base Camp](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/journey-to-everest-base-camp-by-erik)
Trek to EBC was a different and big experience for me though i have travelled to other places as well, and the journey was even more joyful with the help from our friendly, knowledgeable and lovely guide, Dol. The entire arrangement of the trip was done by Third Rock Adventures which was a meaningful experience. With their help, all of our team members were able to reach the EBC and enjoy the fascinating view of the snow mountains. Will definitely recommend their service to all and go back to them for the other Himalayan trips in future.

We just completed the Everest Base Camp Trek with Third Rock Adventures, a professional and competent travel agency based in Thamel district, Kathmandu, Nepal. Founder Naba Raj Amgai personally takes care of your every need and his staff are most helpful. Our guide on the trek, (Deepak) oversaw every aspect of our trek, from personally serving us every meal to safely leading us through the mountains. Deepak is the most caring, competent and professional guide I have travelled with. Highly recommended, will use this service in future too.

It was my good luck that I found Third Rock for my Everest Base Camp Trekking. The experience and professionalism of the team made the most incredible experience of my life trekking to the Everest Base Camp. After spending so many days in planning the trip through emails and calls, i had an extraordinary travel experience with them. My guide Babu was a real hero who can literally explain anything in the trail and take very good care of trekkers. I always had a great vibe about him and I decided to book another trip to Annapurna for next year with him and the company. The trek definitely was a once in a lifetime experience and after hearing so many horror stories along the way about dodgy agencies and scams, I am so fortunate I came across Third Rock Adventures. Big thank you to all the team members of Third Rock Adventures.

I believe we do not remember every trips we do in our life but this was made an unforgettable trip very well organized by Third Rock Adventures. I was solo and they went above and beyond to help plan my trip and make sure I saw what I wanted to see, explained that trekking in the winter may be challenging and the itinerary may need to change. My guide, Dol, was truly amazing! He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, safe and really fun! This far exceeded my expectations and each step along the way, the staff made sure all was well and that I was happy.

Since the first time I contact them for Everest Base Camp trekking in Nepal, Naba is always responsive and informative until the last minute to leave Nepal since our first inquiry. It was fantastic.

What a fantastic trip - and highly recommend the company to facilitate a similar experience for others. It's a great and memorable experience.

I have been to many treks in the Himalaya and Alps of the world but this has been the best trip i've been on so far. Third Rock Adventures and their loyal team made this event remarkable. I've done lots of traveling to Europe, but this has been the best travel experience. I did the EBC trek with my sisters and dad. Our guide, Babu, and porters, Rupesh, and Ram were awesome. They did everything possible to make sure we were all comfortable and enjoying the trek. They were all very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Babu especially was able to answer every question I could come up with about the Himalayas and Nepal as a whole. My plan is to come and visit other parts of Nepal in the future.

I came to Nepal for Everest Base Camp Trek at my holiday this year. Everything was flawless during my trip and the tem were very professional and knowledgeable. I completed 2 weeks trek to Everest Base camp. My guide Dol was friendly & knowledgeable, and I learned so much from him about this region and its culture. As for the climate ar December - It was very cold and there was snow & ice on the ground. We ran into a lot of people en route who were ill-prepared for the harsh elements, or who were getting lost in the snow-covered trails. I highly recommend to use good trekking company like Third Rock and bring very warm mountaineering cloths! Canât wait to return to this area for more adventure with Third Rock Adventures.

Trek was nicely organized and though we had a day delay in starting the trek they managed to take us to Base camp without any delay, difficulty. Resting tea houses at all the locations was so nice and we got good service at each point. Our guide Bimal was super tour manager. He was very firm on the things we can do and we cant on the trek. He has a good knowledge about the trek and surrounding mountains. Many thanks to our porters and everyone who arranged this trip. Namaste.

He is very knowledgable about the history of Nepal, and was able to answer any questions we had about Nepal and the Everest Region. We spent 17 days with Bimal and everything was arranged on our behalf - we had nothing to worry about. He certainly delivered on the 3'S of his company - SAFETY, Value SERVICE and Complete SATISFACTION. When we left, we made a new friend in Bimal.

The trip to Everest Base Camp is hard but everyone should try. The view is unforgettable and the people in Nepal are all very nice. Travelling with Third Rock Adventure is one of the best decisions I made in this trip. They arranged all the Tea Houses and meals for us and our lovely guide Bimal prepared fruit dishes for us every night during the trip. The fruits are very good supports in the mountain. Our guide not only gave us the right directions but also shared a lot of info of the peaks and Nepal cultures all the way along. On this trip we finished the EBC and also hiked back to Lukla. Without their help, I donât know if I could finish it. Third Rock Adventures is a reliable traveling arrangement company to choose if you are interested in the Everest Base Camp Trekking.

I did this trek with two of my friends last spring. Apart from us three there two other dudes from Australia and New Zealand. This worked well because we were able to split the cost and got a good deal. It would have cost us more had we travelled individually. Pre-trek communication was great and on point. We faced bad weather on the mountains but Deepak our guide was ready with a Plab B. He was flexible and listened to our views. Though some of us suffered to some extent from the effects of high altitude, all of us made it to Everest Base Camp. This was a great adventure. Having ticked off EBC from my bucket list of adventures I am ready for more juorneys in the Himalayas, and this time around too with Third Rock Adventures. They have won my trust and confidence. Highly recommended\!

Good Value,

La nostra guida era esperta e ben informata. Anche lui era divertente. Ci piaceva davvero, ea volte faceva battute per farci sentire bene. Sulla strada per Namche, abbiamo incontrato alcune delle persone piÚ amichevoli del mondo. I nepalesi sono fantastici. Ci piaceva passeggiare con le vedute dell'Himalaya. Il nostro viaggio è stato superbo ... Stiamo pensando di fare di nuovo il viaggio con la nostra famiglia a EBC.

### [Trekking to Everest with friends](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/trekking-to-everest-with-friends-by-gabriella)
Itâs really tough to put down Everest Base Camp trek into words; I will try my best. I opted to go trekking with a local company because even if you book with an international company, local company will be operating the tour. Why not book directly with a local company! I came across Third Rock Adventuresâ Everest Base Camp product which was well designed. I inquired about the trek and they were quick with responses. They assisted me to prepare the trek, even suggested ways to prepare for the trek along with necessities to pack for the trek. I didnât want to over pack. I and a couple of friends were trekking in the Himalayas for the first time so we had a lot of questions which they duly answered. The representative of the company was waiting for us on arrival, checked into the hotel and after relaxing we met our guide. He briefed us about the trek and his expertise made us more confident. Before the trek we went sightseeing; Kathmandu has pretty cool ancient architectures. After a thrilling flight to Lukla, we started the trek. Personally, I felt liberating to be in the mountains and the trek gave us a lot of time to talk, laugh, share, and enjoy each otherâs company. I had watched enough videos on YouTube and was skeptical if I would enjoy the trek. After doing the trek I can surely say I loved every bit of it and doing it with friends enriched that experience. The cool breeze, the chilly wind, the sound of the river, swaying prayer flags and excitement on the first sight of Everest, I can go on with the list! Mount Ama Dablam is a beauty, and it deserves a lot more praises. The altitude really makes walking a difficult task. We had each otherâs back and pushed each other to the base camp and back. It will be that memory which would be part of our group chat for long. Also, we wanted to relax a few days in Pokhara and they seamlessly incorporated our preferences into an itinerary. Amazing team highly recommend them guys\!

### [Everest Base Camp Trek](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/everest-base-camp-trek-by-ferdinand)
My sister and I did an 14 day trek to Everest Base Camp. Babu was our main guide- and the other 2 porters helping. They were INCREDIBLE. Everything was perfectly organized with the utmost attention to detail. When we got to Dingboche I had a bad headache and nausea from altitude- they were very professional, knew exactly what to do. They were also incredibly accommodating and reorganized our trip so that my sister and I could separate from the group and spend an extra night acclimating at Tengboche before continuing to BC and Kalapatar. We took a helicopter from Gorak Shep down- we highly recommend this for anyone that prefers to avoid walking down and potentially hurting their knees. Naba organized everything- Everything from their service to hospitality is highly recommended.

### [Everest Base Camp Trek](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/everest-base-camp-trek-by-hiroaki)
I arrived to Nepal and the team of Third Rock Adventures welcomed with warmth of hospitality. I had already planned a trip from Lukla to Everest Base Camp & Kala Patthar on a domestic flight from Kathmandu airport in 14 days with the team of this company. Blessed with good weather, it was a good trekking every day. It was a bit cold, but the view from EBC. Kala Patthar was amazing. The guide Bimal was very kind and helpful. Entire journey was pleasant and recommendable. Thank you everyone.

### [From Wall Street to EBC](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/from-wall-street-to-ebc-by-jacob)
I was so invested in building my career that I had not taken a vacation for almost three years. Working for a real estate firm in Wall Street without a break left me burnt out and struggling with insomnia. Thatâs when my family and physician told me strongly that itâs high time I took a break. With no fixed destinations in mind I trawled the internet looking for inspiration. I randomly chose a few tours and treks and sent a few enquiries. The first reply that I received was from Third Rock Adventures. I had enquired about their Everest Base Camp Trek and they sent me a detailed response. They explained clearly about the physical and mental challenges that I would face on the mountains and how I should train my body before taking this trip. They also offered a couple of easy options (treks). But after reading the experiences and watching vlogs of those who had done this trek, I decided I wanted to do this particular trek. Though I had sent enquiries to some international travel companies too, I finally went with Third Rock because they sounded sincere and genuinely seemed to care about what I wanted. Getting to Everest Base Camp, I tell you was not easy. But it was worth all the sweat and physical hardships. It was worth flying thousands of miles to do it. It sounds clichĂŠd but the mountains are really beautiful. The trek brought me close to nature and reminded me about the beauty of small things; like how comforting it is to feel the breeze and sit under the shade of a tree on a hot day. I would say the highlight of my trip was not reaching EBC but the journey itself, the people I met on the way and the places we crossed. The contentment and happiness of the local people that I met on the trail has made me revaluate my life goals. Thanks to Third Rock Adventures for organizing this inspirational trip for me. A shout out to Deepack and Giri too, my guide and porter on the trial without whose support and encouragement I wouldnât have made it to base camp. A five star to this company and its people\!

Everest Base Camp trek was once in a lifetime experience. The trek wasnât easy but the spectacular views made it a rewarding trip. The view of Everest from Kalapatthar was overwhelming. We were blessed to have a pretty much decent weather. It was nice to have someone handle all the logistics and I could just enjoy the trek and soak into the beauty of the region. Thank you to the team of Third Rock Adventures for making my trip memorable.

Trekking to Everest is awesome and if you are thinking of doing it then go for it. It's worth your time and money.

### [Memories for a lifetime](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/memories-for-a-lifetime-by-victor)
Just returned back from an awesome Everest Base Camp trek. We were a family of four and it was once in a lifetime experience of trekking to Everest. We took a risk of trekking with a local company and it paid off really well. The team took care of us well from the day we arrive till departure. The trek to Everest base camp was simply amazing and watching the gorgeous Everest in front of your eyes is overwhelming. Oh man! Everest shines like gold when sunrises over the mountains. Special mention goes to the Mt. Ama Dablam which keeps your mesmerized while trekking to Everest.
What would you advice other travellers?
we were moderately fit people, not athletes; if we can do it then so can you. Don't procrastinate just go for it\!

To get a team like Third Rock Adventures and an opportunity to travel in the Himalayas of Nepal is the best part of this trip. It was much more then I expected and it will be an experience I will never forget. I appreciate Mr. Naba for helping us from start to end with all the necessary information and also, for being patient with the current situation we were in due to the lockdown for Corona. Last but not least, another bog thank you to our guide Shiva for following us on this journey and to have made it wonderful! It was a privilege to have both of them with us, as we learned new things, and also, thank you Shiva for being patient with us when we were slow :-) I cant wait to come back and do it all over again!\!

Me and my friends made a plan to visit Nepal this holiday and bought our ticket. We came to Kathmandu with two friends with a plan of Everest Base Camp trekking but with no earlier arrangements and detailed plans. And it was the best idea ever as Third Rock Adventures arranged everything (permissions, airplane tickets to Lukla, guide, porters etc) for us. This company was extremely helpful and proactive but at the same time opened to our ideas and personalized the trip exactly in the way we wanted. Highly recommended

Trekking in the Himalayas seemed as tedious as hell to me before I did this trip with an amazing team of professionals at Third Rock Adventures. If anyone planning about trekking to EBC, you can select Third Rock without hesitation. I can't even imagine any company would serve better than them. Every series of trip planning to make travelers satisfied including the timely and helpful email replies to airport pick-up and drop-off to ensure maximum comfort and health while on the trek, the entire experience was really above the normal. Our team was lucky to have Mr. Dol as a guide who has been guiding the journey for many years. We felt safe and taken care of the entire journey...and he's a great picture-taker, too. This company takes care of the little things.

We planned this trip in spring season and it was an excellent time to hike. As this was our private trip, we could go at our own pace. Small group of just 6 of us, a fantastic guide and 3 wonderful porters! We had a very knowledgeable guide and he was entertaining. Thank you Mr. babu who continuously guided us to the successful adventure journey of Everest Base Camp. The views were stunning when the clouds cleared up and the company was great. Babu looked after us well challenging us to push ourselves but also making sure we were well enough to keep going. His laugh and willingness to join in our games were a highlight! Thank you also Naba for helping organise such a memorable trip. Highly recommend such a organised, thoughtful and friendly team! Will definitely come back in future for other trips.

### [Awesome Everest Base Camp Trek](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/awesome-everest-base-camp-trek-by-george)
I am not athletic in real life and my trek to Everest Base Camp was a questionable act. With the guidance of our guide, I successfully made it to Everest Base Camp and I added it to the list of my accomplishments. I have fear of heights and suspension bridges really scare me. Initially, I was very scared to walk on the bridge and I only used to look down while crossing it. Instead, our guide told me to look ahead which really made a difference. I started enjoying the suspension bridges. It was much more amazing than I envisioned. I loved the chocolate cake they served in Namche Bazzar. If I ever trek in Nepal again it will surely be with Third Rock Adventures\!

Everything from the beginning to the end of the trip was fantastic with Third Rock Adventures. I traveled with a couple of my friends and was very impressed with the professional management of Third Rock Adventures and the team. The route is absolutely beautiful and the weather was wonderful in this period. The hotel in Kathmandu was excellent and I am extremely satisfied with the quality of services! I would like to thank our guide Mr. Bimal and his team for this amazing experience and would definitely recommend Third Rock Adventures to all travelers.

### [Everest Base Camp trek is the best experience](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/everest-base-camp-trek-is-by-jomei)
Me and my friend trekked to Everest Base Camp with Third Rock Adventures and everything from my first email to the final departure was organized very professionally. And we are very pleased we did. They are a very professional company with a strong history of trekking in Nepal. They are a very customer-oriented company. When we arrived in KTM, we were greeted at the airport and taken to our overnight hotel. Our Guide Baburam did an excellent job shepherding us for the entire two-week trek. Babu is a very knowledgeable and sensitive guide and made our daily trekking enjoyable and fun. We liked everything including the services we get from Third Rock Adventures. Will come back for another trip too.

Our guide Mr. Babu was an excellent guide. He and his co-workers were very friendly, professional (at times very funny!) I appreciate everything done by Third Rock Adventures to keep us satisfied. But when things got serious and we needed some medical help, Babu and his co-workers got into action and did everything possible to make sure we all returned safely. Accommodation, food was as per our requirements and the trail was real iconic. I will never forget the trip experience I have gained after doing EBC trek with this company and team. Thanks to all, highly recommended.

I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Third Rock Adventures and their professional team. I was really happy with all services from this company. My guide Bimal was very friendly and caring. He kept on going above the limits to make the trip a lifetime memorable event for me. They are offering a lot of different treks and other tourist attractions. Guides are experienced with a good English level. I can highly recommend the services provided by this company and the guides they use for any trips in the Himalayas. Thank you.

It was a wonderful trip to Everest Base Camp organized by Third Rock Adventure under the guidance of Mr. Bimal. Though I was untrained, I finished EBC with two others with little to no issues. Bimal took care of us very well and encouraged every moment to accomplish the trip. This company was recommended by a friend. Highly recommended from me too, will come to this company again for other trips in Himalayan region of Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan.

### [Everest Base Camp Trek](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/everest-base-camp-trek-by-sophia)
Everest had always been on my mind ever since I was a kid. My dad always talked about Nepal as he was an adventure junkie. I got my first opportunity in 2014 but due to the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal during that year, I had to cancel my plans. Come 2018, October, I was on my way to the base of the worlds highest mountains. the trek was exactly like what my father had described except the size of the mountains- they were bigger then what my father had described it in his stories. My favourite spot in the entire trek was Thyangboche, I felt a connection here and never wanted to leave. Thank you Third Rock Adventures for bringing my dream trip to life. You have worked very hard and I appreciate everything that you have done for me. I will be back soon,

Third Rock Adventures was there every time to take care of us and the trip, no matter where we were. Our guide Mr. Bimal was professional and knowledgeable who made our trip even more special. He made sure we were well fed, always serving us before he orders food himself. I loved the trekking trail, nature and culture of people living in those areas. Salute to those Sherpas who have climbed those mountains every day. We got more than expected with Third Rock Adventures, we will recommend to all around us who wants to come to Nepal in the future.

I felt lucky to do the Everest Base Camp trek with Third Rock Adventures. I did the Everest base camp trek over 14 days. Our guide and porter were awesome, fun, always focused on security and so much helpful from beginning to end. Despite the crowd and its difficulty towards the end (especially in case of possible altitude sickness), the trekâs views and landscapes were just breathtaking and amazing, making it one of the most beautiful places in the world. I would highly recommend the service and attention provided by Third Rock Adventures. Thank you.

### [Fantastic Everest Base Camp Trekking\!](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/fantastic-everest-base-camp-trekking-by-michael)
I would like to thank Third Rock Adventures for the fantastic EBC trekking adventure. I had great fun during the trek. I would attribute my tripâs success to the attentive, knowledgeable and courteous staff. While planning this trip I was a little hesitant to use the services of a local company, but after contacting the sales team, I realized that whatever I had read about them on TripAdvisor was true. They were prompt with their responses and their replies to my queries were clear and to the point. While trekking, I was made to feel that I was in good hands. The guide was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. He shared a wealth of information about the culture and lifestyle of the locals. Overall my trip to Everest Base Camp was a success, thanks to the teamâs professionalism and attention to detail. I am already looking forward to my next trip to Nepal, which will most definitely be with Third Rock Adventures\!
Why did you choose this trip?
Because this trek had been sitting on my bucket list of adventures for just too long\!
What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?
The whole trip was enjoyable.
What would you advice other travellers?
If you are a mountain person you should definitely book this trek.

### [A memorable EBC Trek](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/a-memorable-ebc-trek-by-sebastian)
I trekked to Everest Base Camp with the guys from Third Rock Adventures and I must say their service is excellent. I wanted a few changes in the itinerary and they made it while offering some wonderful suggestions of their own. They were prompt with their replies and patient enough to recreate the itinerary (thrice) as per my requirements. The guide was knowledgeable, smart and pleasant. While trekking, he made sure that I was comfortable with the pace and the lodgings at teahouses where we stopped for the night. I had assumed that it would be a tough climb, but maybe because of the easy pace or maybe I really listened to the guideâs advice, I was able to reach EBC without getting sick even once. It was a humbling experience to stand beneath some of the worldâs highest peaks. This trek in the Himalayas was just right for me. It was refreshing and changed my life in a positive way. Would recommend this trek and company to anyone planning a Nepal visit\!
Why did you choose Third Rock Adventures?
Good Value.
Would you recommend Third Rock Adventures to your friends?
Yes.
Why did you choose this trip?
I chose this trip because I wanted to visit Everest Base Camp.
What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?
Walking from Lukla to EBC and back - the whole trek was memorable.
What would you advice other travellers?
This trek is not that difficult. Anyone who is fit and can walk can do it.

The trek to EBC was my third treking trip after the treking experience to ABC and Langtang with Third Rock Adventures. On the way after treking over 4000ft attitude, light oxygen, cold temperature (always minus), and physical weakness, I kept asking myself why I was here. It was hard to breath and hard to sleep all 12 nights due to the attitude and temperature. Anyhow, I got the answer once after I reached EBC. Thank you for the lie from my guide and my friends encourage and us to till complete our mission. No pain, no gain. WIll come for another journey with this company in near future.

I was really impressed with the beautiful nature of Himalaya and the excellent service provided by Third Rock Adventures. I enjoyed not only trekking, but culture of Nepal. There are many small villages in Himalaya and beautiful life there. The people in Himalaya took care of us warmly. That is good memories too. It was our best trekking experience with our guide Mr. Dol. We can count on him. He is professional and can manage everything very well. I really appreciate him and all the team associated.

We had an amazing trek with our family of 5!! Our guide Jaya was great! He was extremely knowledgeable about the mountain and went out of his way to take very good care of our family! The porters were great too and even carried a birthday cake safely for our youngest son all the way to the next tea house for a Birthday celebration. We had been trekking in Nepal twenty years earlier without kids and always wanted to come back with them. I did have some reservations about taking 3 kids trekking in the Himalayas, but everyone stayed safe and healthy and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! I would highly recommend Third Rock Adventures and Jaya as a guide \!

### [Our Everest Base Camp Trekking](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/reviews/our-everest-base-camp-trekking-by-bandon)
We had been planning a family vacation to Nepal for a very long time. Everything fell into place this April as my wife and I got a break from our busy work schedule. After checking with numerous travel agencies we chose Third Rock Adventures for their positive reviews on TripAdvisor. We booked the Kathmandu Heritage Tour and EBC Trek for a very good price. Our Kathmandu Day Tour was very insightful. Our guide Ishwor was quite knowledgeable and patient. He took us to places of historical interest not mentioned in the guidebooks and made our tour interesting by narrating the stories behind these sites. It was fascinating to visit temples and palaces that have been in existence for hundreds of years. Our Everest base Camp Trek was equally enjoyable. We were very well looked after by our guide Shiva on the trail. He was fun and friendly and looked after us like a protective mother-hen. So that we would not fall sick, he would check the food carefully before it was served and make sure that our drinking water was properly boiled and sterilized. Thanks to him we could make it to as high as the Everest Base camp and Kala Patthar without getting ill. We had a great trip, all thanks to the wonderful team at Third Rock Adventures. From our first day in Nepal to the day we departed, we were made to feel like honored guests. Thanks for a wonderful stay and a memorable vacation. We will surely be back and the next time too we will be traveling with Third Rock Adventures!! They deserve nothing less than five stars!!\!

| Readable Markdown | The Everest Base Camp trek leads to the worldâs most dramatic, majestic, and picturesque in the Himalayas. It is one of the most renowned treks of Nepal that takes to the base of the worldâs highest peak, Mt. Everest. Trek through the alpine region on remote ridges, experience true wilderness, explore [Everest Base Camp](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/blog/a-handy-guide-for-everest-base-camp-trek), climb Kala Patthar- one of the best vantage points of Khumbu valley, and enjoy the best sunrise view over majestic peaks are some major highlights of Everest Base Camp trek.
This 14 days itinerary of Everest Base Camp is a perfect blend of picturesque views of many of the [worldâs highest mountains](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/blog/facts-about-mount-everest) and fascinating Sherpa culture. This adventurous trek starts with a short flight from kathmandu to Lukla, a beautiful Sherpa town. From the very beginning of the trek, youâll get amazed with fabulous views of the mighty Himalayas as you will witness the first captivating mountain views during this short mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla.
After landing at Lukla, youâll start your actual Everest trek journey. Walking through well-established trails, you will access different Sherpa settlements such as Phakding, Namche, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Gorakshep. In this EBC journey, youâll not only hike through valleys surrounded by picturesque snow-capped mountains, but also youâll get a deep insight into the Sherpa culture and traditions. Along the Everest Base Camp route, there is plenty to explore and assimilate. Every day will astound you with a wondrous experience\!
Another prominent feature of this trek is a hike to Kala Patthar (5,550m/18,204ft) It is one of the best vantage points to get a close-up view of the worldâs tallest peak Mt. Everest. This Kala Patthar viewpoint is also the trekâs highest point, from where youâll get jaw-dropping views of some of the worldâs tallest peaks above 8,000 meters. Youâll get a 360-degree panoramic mountain view, including Mt. Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Pumori, and Mt. Ama Dablam. So you can proudly stand at this viewpoint and get the worldâs best sight ever in your life\!
Likewise, the [Everest Base Camp trek difficulty](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/blog/how-difficult-is-everest-base-camp-trek) level is moderate to difficult. However, if you are physically fit and mentally strong, you can complete this trek with a bit of preparation. No doubt, the EBC trek will test both your physical and emotional endurance, but youâll discover both throughout the journey. Everest Base Camp Trek 14 days itinerary offers a big chance to turn your dreams into reality and challenge yourself. In this journey, youâll be able to discover both natural beauty and your potential.
The trek is doable all year round, but the best time for the trek is autumn and spring. During the climbing season, which lies between April and May, youâll get a chance to meet real heroes of mountains who are trying to scale Mt. Everest.
## Best Time To Travel
Spring (March to May) and autumn (mid-September to November) are considered the [best seasons to trek to Everest Base Camp](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/blog/best-time-to-visit-everest-base-camp). The weather stays dry and clear during these times, making it ideal for trekking and enjoying unobstructed views of mountains. The days are warm and the nights chilly. On the downside, however, these are peak seasons, and the trails get crowded and busy.
During spring, the hillsides are verdant and covered with wildflowers, including rhododendron blooms. It is also the climbing season, and the EBC is transformed into a tented city filled with climbers and Sherpa guides.
Autumn is the most popular season for trekking to Everest Base Camp. With the end of the wet monsoon season, which clears the skies of dust and impurities, you can enjoy crystal clear views during this season. Timing your trek around October will allow you to experience the most important festival in the Everest region, Mani Rimdu. This festival is held in the monasteries of Tengboche, Chiwong, and Thame.
You can also opt for a monsoon or winter trek if you want to avoid the crowds. You can enjoy some off-season discounts at teahouses which remain mostly empty during these times. But you should be ready to face some discomforts (rain, snow, and extreme cold) if you take to the trail at these times. The flights also get frequently canceled during these times due to bad weather and poor visibility.
***
## Lukla Flight
The easiest way to reach Lukla (2840m), your Everest Base Camp Trek trailhead, is via a flight. One of the highest and most extreme airports in the world, flying to [Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/blog/5-tips-for-kathmandu-to-lukla-flight) has its own challenges. The chief among them is the weather.
The airport is built on a narrow plateau, over a steep cliff. Navigating the plane along the short and narrow runway is difficult when strong winds whip across the mountains. Surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the world, the weather here is unpredictable and changes frequently. It would be clear and sunny one minute, and the next moment the clouds will appear, and everything will turn hazy. Flights operate only when the weather is stable and visibility clear.
The chances of your Lukla flight getting canceled cannot be ruled out. If this happens, your EBC Trek may get extended by a day or two. So come prepared and keep buffer days so that you may not miss your international flight.
If there is a long delay due to bad weather, we will secure a space for you on a helicopter flight. The cost for the heli flight is not included in the trip price and should be borne by you.
Due to congestion at the Kathmandu airport during the high season (Spring- March, April, Autumn - October, November), flights to and from Lukla now operate [from Manthali Airport](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/travel-guide/getting-flight-from-ramechhap-to-lukla) in Ramechhap. The airport lies 132km (4hrs 30mins drive) from Kathmandu.
However, airline companies operate their first and last flights directly from Kathmandu and Lukla (KTM-LUKLA-KTM). If you book your trip early, we can try to secure a place for you on the direct flight to or from Lukla. It will be easier and more comfortable to [fly directly from Kathmandu to Lukla](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/travel-guide/getting-from-kathmandu-to-lukla) and vice versa, instead of making that additional journey to Ramechhap.
Helicopter Flights to Everest Region will operate from Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu.

## Altitude Sickness & Acclimatization
Remember, you will be trekking to the worldâs highest trekking destination, Everest Base Camp, which lies well above 5000 meters beyond sea level. Here there is less oxygen in the atmosphere, which will make breathing a bit difficult.
To let your body get used to the thin air, you need to walk slowly and steadily and keep your body hydrated. If you try to hasten and walk fast to reach your destination in less time, chances are you may suffer from AMS or Acute Mountain Sickness.
AMS symptoms like dizziness, headache, nausea, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc., are seen at elevations above 2000 meters. Usually, these symptoms occur once you reach Namche or beyond Namche.
Taking Diamox and a good nightâs rest may work for mild cases. Drinking plenty of fluids (water, tea, soup, etc.) and keeping your body hydrated will also help keep the sickness at bay. One should take the necessary precautions to ensure that the condition does not worsen. But if the symptoms worsen, one may have to return to a lower elevation and get medical help.
There are clinics at Lukla, Namche, and Pheriche which offer basic care for minor ailments. In the worst-case scenario, an air evacuation will be arranged, where the patient will be flown to Kathmandu to receive medical aid. AMS, if untreated or ignored, can take your life.
On a high-altitude trek like the trek to EBC, acclimatization is very important. Your body needs time to get used to thin air which can be done by resting at a lower altitude before reaching a higher elevation level.
Our experts have included two days in the itinerary for acclimatization. During your trek, you will be spending extra days at Namche (3440m) and Dingboche (4410m) to acclimatize successfully before trekking further.
Here are the altitudes and oxygen levels at some of the major stops en route to Everest Base Camp:
| | | |
|---|---|---|
| **Places** | **Altitude** | **Oxygen Level** |
| Lukla | 2,840m/9,318ft | 0\.73% |
| Namche | 3,440m/11,286ft | 0\.64% |
| Dingboche | 4,410m/14,469ft | 0\.58% |
| Lobuche | 4,910m/16,109ft | 0\.53% |
| Gorak Shep | 5,140m/16,864ft | 0\.52% |
| Everest Base Camp | 5,364m/17,598ft | 0\.5% |
| Kala Patthar | 5,500m/18,209ft | 0\.5% |

## Drinking-Water
It is important to keep your body hydrated on the trail as dehydration also causes AMS. One should drink at least 3-4 liters of fluids daily.
We dissuade you from buying bottled water as it adds up to the thrashing problem in the mountains. Moreover, like everything else, bottled water is also expensive in the mountains.
We highly recommend you to carry a reusable water bottle with you, one that can hold hot water. You can use one with a steri pen or an inbuilt filtration system like Life Straw. You can also use water purification tablets to treat the water. While the water in the mountains tends to be pure and without impurities, itâs better not to take chances and filter or treat the water before drinking.
Using chlorine or iodine tablets to treat the water may alter its taste. You can add flavored electrolyte powder (readily available at pharmacies in Kathmandu) to mask the bitter chemical taste. Adding electrolyte to your drinking water may also be beneficial as the minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc.) you lose while walking gets replenished.
Teahouses offer boiled drinking water at an additional cost. It can cost anywhere between 1 USD to 4 USD. Up to Namche, you may have to pay around 1 USD per liter or pot (every teahouse uses a different sized pot). The price increases gradually as you climb higher. You pay the highest for boiled water at Gorak Shep, i.e., 4 USD. While cold water is provided free of charge, it is not advisable to drink untreated tap water.

## Internet Connectivity on Everest Base Camp Trek
Despite being the worldâs highest trekking trail, internet connection (though erratic and irregular at some places) is available in the Everest Region.
You can connect with your loved ones while trekking, post updates, and upload pictures on social media. Wi-fi is available at all teahouses up to Gorak Shep. While it is free at some cafes in Lukla and Namche, most teahouses will charge you extra for using their Wi-Fi hotspot.
It will be cheaper and easier to get a Ncell (a private telecom company) sim card in Kathmandu and purchase internet data that could last you for your entire trip. The company offers 3G connectivity up to Everest Base Camp (5364m).
Everest Link, another local internet provider, also offers paid internet access on the trail. You can purchase the username and password at any of the teahouses or shops along the trail.

## Trip Safety
We ensure the safety of our clients by following all safety protocols during the trip. The Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary has been designed by travel experts and veteran guides who have guided several groups to Everest Base Camp innumerable times.
To prevent AMS, the required number of rest days has been added to the itinerary. Our guides always carry a first-aid kit and pulse oximeter (to measure the oxygen level in your blood) with them. The guides assigned to you have more than 10 years of experience and know what steps to take during an emergency. They are well-trained in wilderness first aid and crisis management.
If a client shows symptoms of AMS and needs to descend to a lower elevation, an assistant guide will escort him/her and follow the safety protocol. He will closely monitor the clientâs condition and take the required steps needed for the client's well-being.
If he/she feels alright after a nightâs rest, the guide will escort the client back to join the group. But if the condition worsens, the client will be escorted down to Lukla or get airlifted to Kathmandu for expert medical aid.

## A typical day on the Everest Base Camp Trek
A typical day on the trail begins with a wake-up call at around 6 AM by your guide. Freshen up and get ready. Pack your belongings and head to the dining area for breakfast by 7 AM. Check your luggage for the final time and fill your water bottle before you hit the trail by 8 AM, along with your guide.
To avoid walking in the heat and enjoy clear mountains' views, you make an early start. En route, there will be short breaks to enjoy the views and take photographs. You stop for lunch at a local teahouse around noon or mid-day. After a quick rest of about an hour or 40 minutes, you get back on the trail and continue till you reach your overnight stop.
Upon reaching the stop for the night, you head to your teahouse, check in, and have some rest. Tea with some light refreshments (cookies or biscuits) will be served at 5 PM. As the rooms are not insulated, you can warm yourself by the heater or stove in the communal area.
Exchange stories or play cards with other trekkers and sherpas till dinner is served (around 7 PM). After dinner, your guide will brief you about the next dayâs trek â the route you will take, difficulty, where you will stop for lunch, etc. Afterward, retire for the night and have a well-deserved rest.
On average, you may have to walk 6 to 7 hours daily. The trek to Phakding is the shortest and the easiest, while the hike to Everest Base Camp from Lobuche on the 9th day could be your toughest. On Day 10, a hike to Kala Patthar for the sunrise view is scheduled. So you will have to wake up before 4 AM to reach Kala Patthar before sunrise. Your guide will share the details regarding the hike during the after-dinner briefing on Day 9.

## Entry Permits & Requirements
The permits you need for the Everest Base Camp trek are â 1) Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit, and 2) Khumbu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit. Unlike other treks in the Nepal Himalaya, you wonât be needing a TIMS (Tourist Information Management System) card.
Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit can be obtained from the Nepal Tourism Boardâs Office in Kathmandu or at the parkâs entrance gate in Monjo by paying NRS 3000. For citizens of SAARC countries, the fee is NRS 1500. You need to fill out the permit form and show your passport or a copy of your passport.
To get the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit, you need to be in Lukla. You have to pay NRS 2000 for the permit at the rural municipality counter, which lies at the edge of the village.
If you [plan to trek to Everest Base Camp from Jiri](https://www.thirdrockadventures.com/trip/jiri-to-everest-base-camp-trek-21-days), you will be required to pay the Gaurishanker Conservation Area Project Entry Permit fee of NRS 2000. The permit can be obtained from the Nepal Tourism Boardâs office in Kathmandu before the start of your trek.
You wonât have to worry about queuing up to get the permits as the company, or our guides will arrange all the permits for you.

## Travel Insurance
For Everest Base Camp Trek, you need a good travel insurance policy that offers you coverage for all activities and altitudes included in your itinerary. The highest altitude you reach is 5,550 meters, and your travel insurance should offer you suitable coverage up to this elevation.
Though we take your safety as our number one priority, we cannot rule out mishaps and emergencies that may occur at this altitude. There is less oxygen in the environment, and trekkers usually suffer from Acute Mountain Sickness, proving fatal if not treated on time. Walking in a treacherous mountain environment also exposes you to physical injuries. Therefore make sure that your insurance covers the cost of all injuries and emergencies that you can face during this trekking adventure. Your insurance policy should especially cover the cost of helicopter evacuation and hospitalization in case of an accident or medical emergency, as these happen to be quite expensive. Check for vaccination requirements as some travel insurance policies makes it mandatory to immunize yourself before you leave your country.
Before you decide on a policy, be mindful and donât forget to read the fine print. It would be advantageous for you also to choose a company that offers insurance cover on domestic and international flight cancellations and lost or stolen baggage.
