Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days Itinerary

01

Early in the morning, we will go to TIA to board a small flight to have an unforgettable and exciting flight to Lukla. The iconic Tenzing Hilary airport welcomes us with the astonishing view of Mount Kongde Ri (6187 m).

After handing over our luggage to our local crew, we will have our breakfast and begin our three-hour hike to the small scenic village of Phakding.

Walking along the Dudh Koshi River, we will pass the vibrant stony path of Lukla town. At the last village of Lukla, our guide will secure Sagarmatha National Park and Khumbu rural municipality permits for the Everest Base Camp trek.

The road from here will be a steady downhill hike, allowing for a pleasant start to our journey. Hiking past the charming settlements of Chheplung and Chaurikharka, we will arrive at Thadokoshi, which blesses us with the wonderful view of Mount Kusum Kangaru (6367m).

A short descent past the huge boulders will take us to Ghat, which bestows us the incredible view of Mount Khumbila (5761 m). We will now trek along the eastern shore of the River to reach Phakding.

Point to Remember

The busy trekking season of spring and autumn often causes the diversion of Lukla flights from TIA to Ramechhap/Manthali airport. The airport is about 4 hours by road from Kathmandu. A private transport will be at your disposal to take you to Ramechhap.

Note: Flight schedules may change depending on the number of passengers, as they are operated by the airlines.

Helicopter Option

Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days, For those who want to have a luxury, fast service, we can arrange the services of a direct helicopter transfer from Kathmandu to Lukla with an additional cost of USD 500-600 per person on a basic sharing of five heads. What’s the best way to avoid the 4–5 hour drive to Manthali from Kathmandu, and a good night’s sleep loss, during the peak trekking months, March–May and October–November?

Trek Preparation & Trek to Phakding

The day before your flight, get your trekking gear ready and pack it. Get at Lukla’s Tenzing Hillary Airport early in the morning and have a hearty breakfast. When you get to Lukla, porters will meet you and carry your stuff. One porter will carry the gear of two trekkers.

The trip starts with a short, easy hike from Lukla to Phakding. The path then goes up slowly along the bank of the Dudh Koshi River, where you bridge over Chheplung and get on the trek to Everest Base Camp. As you go a little farther, you arrive to Ghat, a very little hamlet. After that, you will reach Phakding and get ready for your trip to Namche Bazar tomorrow.

Trip Information of Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days

Best Time to Everest Base Camp Trek

Regarding temperature, good view, pleasant weather, and less probability of rainfall, autumn (September, October, and November) and spring (March, April, and May) are preferable times for a 12-day Everest Base Camp trek. During autumn, the temperature in the Everest region fluctuates between 6 to 22°C in a day and drops to 2 to -5°C at night. In springtime, the temperature ranges between 14°C to -10°C during the day and minus degree Celsius at night.

In addition, the Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days is rich in flora and fauna of the Sagarmatha National Park, and the pink blossom of rhododendrons makes this trip memorable during spring and autumn.

We recommend the winter Everest Base Camp Trek (December, January, and  February) hiking for experienced trekkers. The summer/monsoon period from June, July, and August is unfavorable due to the potential risk of avalanches in higher regions and landslides in the lower regions.

Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days Elevation and trekking distance

The iconic landmark of Everest Base Camp Trek is situated at the breathtaking elevation of 5364 m above sea level in the enchanting Sagarmatha National Park. A distance of around 200 to 300 km separates it from the bustling city of Kathmandu.

On our 12 days journey to the Everest Base Camp Trek, we will reach the ultimate altitude of 5548 m at the summit of Kala Patthar while we spend the night at the highest elevation of Gorakshep at 5180 m. Within a day,

at the Everest Base Camp Trek, we will transition from the 1300 m elevation of the capital to the 2800 m elevation of Lukla. The small mountain town is located 135 km away from Kathmandu, while only 65 km separates it from the Everest Base Camp. From Lukla to Everest Base Camp to Lukla, we will encompass a 130 km distance in total, walking 10 to 15 each day.

Maximum/Minimum walk per day

Throughout our Everest Base Camp Trek 12 days, we will engage in a total of 11 hiking days, walking along the diverse terrain from lush green forest and alpine meadows to glacial trails. Certain days will be relatively easy, while some days may present a considerable challenge.

On the very first day of the Everest Base Camp Trek, we will have a pleasant kick-off to our journey as we walk only for three hours along an easy trail to reach Phakding.

Not every member who traveled with us in the past has felt the symptoms of altitude sickness but there are some who did. Like the weather in the Himalayas, altitude sickness can also not be predicted.

The chances are you will only feel the minor symptoms of altitude sickness (e.g. nausea, headache, dizziness, vomiting, nausea, shortness of breath, and loss of sleep and appetite). You must take these symptoms very seriously and tell our guide if you notice them.

As per the instruction of our guide, you can take Diamox. It is a diuretic drug that will cure your ailment but remember to drink plenty of water and urinate frequently.

The EBC Trek is 100% safe with the Hill Sherpa Trekking Team teams have at least 15+ years of guiding experience. Safety is our first priority, followed by comfort, all necessary trekking gear, a first aid kit, and an oxygen meter to check daily oxygen levels by a guide.

Yes, of course. It is from 9 days to 18 days Everest base camp trek by Hill Sherpa Trekking.

Flights to and from Lukla are highly dependent on weather conditions because of the high altitude, However, flights will be regular from September to December in autumn and March to May in the spring. In case it has been that kind of flight problem because of weather, we highly recommend a Helicopter if you don’t have enough time. Another option is to drive to Surke village near Lukla, but you have to drive 2 days by off road if you have enough time to trek to Everest base camp.

The price will vary depending on the quality of service, season, and whether you book from a local or international agency.

Typically, the Everest Base Camp trek 12 days package will cost approximately $1,200 to $1,800 USD per individual.

When shopping around for prices, be sure to see what is included in the package. Some cheap packages do not include meals, domestic flights, or proper insurance for guides and porters.

Sherpa crew members will be carrying all the necessary equipment, gear, and first aid kits, and they receive rigorous first aid training. If the trekker is sick at high altitude, the leader will decide whether to continue or leave the trek. In case of emergency, Hill Sherpa Trekking has a rescue helicopter for returning you back from higher altitudes, and provides an oximeter for testing the oxygen level at high altitude and general health check-up facilities.

As we ascend to higher elevations, our itinerary has been designed to prevent any form of acute mountain sickness (AMS). At elevations of 3,500 meters or higher, altitude sickness starts. You will be trekking slowly and comparatively slowly as part of your acclimatization. Avoid caffeinated, alcoholic, and smoking drugs. Have at least 3-4 liters of water every day. Trek slowly. Don’t miss acclimatization days. If any symptoms appear, it is best to keep taking Diamox. Have Garlic Soup. There is less air around you at higher altitudes, and this is more so when crossing high passes. Our experienced guides will teach you how to avoid AMS and how to treat it when, if necessary.

Everest Base Camp (South) of Nepal lies at the altitude of about 5,364 meters (17,598 feet) above the sea level. This is the camp where climbers train to ascend up Mount Everest. Although it is well below the towering height of the summit of 8,848.86 meters (29,031.7 feet), even the base camp location is a high-altitude terrain, where trekkers could find the air thinner and colder. An everest base camp trek is a good adventure, with stunning mountain views of the Himalayas and the opportunity to explore the culture of the Sherpa people on the route.

Amazing trek to Eeverest base camp in 2024

I went to Everest Base Camp trek with Pasang Sherpa in 2024. It was clear, and yet unusually cold at Kalapathar, and there were not so many people there. The outward flight to Lukla was direct, and Pasang had everything planned out to the end. Naturally, I would recommend Pasang and Hill Sherpa Trekking.

An unforgettable hike to everest base camp with Hill Sherpa Trek

I successfully trekked to Everest base camp april, and it was literally the experience of a lifetime. The entire itinerary was planned out well and efficiently executed by Hill Sherpa Trekking was all smooth from start to finish.

My guide Mingma was great. His many years of experience of the terrain and culture guaranteed the trek to be both safe and enriching. As a solo traveler, I could not have asked for a better companion, he was attentive, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about where to stop for the best vistas, photos, and meals.

He told us why each of the landmarks on the trail is significant and made sure that every evening, our tea house or hotel accommodation was adequate and well planned.

The trip was one that i will never forget, and I owe a great part of that to the professionalism and care of Hill Sherpa Trekking. I would strongly recommend them to anybody who wishes to see the Himalayas in the best way possible.

Unforgettable trek to Everest Base Camp with Hill Sherpa Trekking

Having just gotten back from the Everest Base Camp trek, I now understand why Hill Sherpa Trekking is so differently unique compared to all the other trekking agencies in Nepal. Whereas all the other agencies follow the same routes and itineraries.



I was amazingly lucky to have Ang Dendy as my guide, a very experienced professional who has spent more than 24+ years in the Himalayas. From the first day, he had an intuitive sense of my pace, my requirements, and my attitude. Trekking alone can be overwhelming, but Ang Dendy ensured that I never felt isolated.

He followed me, supported me at all times, and was watchful to ensure my safety and comfort at all times. Thanks to Hill Sherpa Trekking\'s great service and Ang Dendy\'s high level of concern and friendship. If you want to go to the Himalayas, you can\'t be in finer hands.

The hill sherpa trekking team made our 12 days Everest base camp trek the best experience.

The Hill sherpa trekking and the highlight of this trek was the guide that was excellent guide, Dendy sherpa to the Everest base camp. In the entire course of the journey, everything was well planned, safe, and full of meaning. The professionalism, pleasantness and extensive knowledge of the mountains and the sherpas of Dendy sherpa made all the moments of the journey valuable.

The climb up itself was spectacular, and the eyefuls of Everest and Lhotse, ama dablam and quiet mountain villages, and memories in places of Namche Bazaar and Kala Patthar. Dendy and the Hill Sherpa crew gave personal attention is the real difference with this trip. Whenever they came to see us, it was in order to make sure that we were okay, comfortable, and relaxed to have an optimum experience with them.

Planning Everest base camp trek? then I highly recommend Hill Sherpa Trekking and especially Dendy Sherpa. They are enthusiastic, skilled and know the area well which makes this dream trek less cluttered, secure, and away of the beaten path.

Amazing trip to Everest base camp trek with Hill Sherpa Trek

Trek to Everest base camp with Hill Sherpa Trekking was one of the best things I've ever done. Their crew gave us great service from the moment we got to Kathmandu. They made us feel comfortable, protected, and encouraged every step of the way. The trip itself is just as well-known as you would expect it to be. You will see beautiful views of Everest, learn about Sherpa culture, and stop in famous settlements like Namche Bazaar and Tengboche.

Reaching base camp was amazing and made me cry. Hill Sherpa Trekking is the best firm to choose if you want a reliable and enthusiastic guide to take you over the Himalayas.

Grateful for an Incredible Journey to Everest Base Camp with Sherpa guide

My wife and I completed the 12 days Everest Base Camp trek in April 2025 with Hill Sherpa Trekking, and it was an experience I will never forget from start to finish. The entire trip was flawlessly organized from the airport pickup in Kathmandu to the smooth changes made on the actual trek.

Our guide Wangchhu sherpa was marvelous, well trained, and well experienced, and always in a good mood. His experience and unwavering self assurance made us feel secure and pampered on the trek. We have nothing but praise for our porter, Tengee sherpa, too. He was strong and wonderfully dependable, in very good spirits. They gave us total freedom to simply relax and enjoy the trek without a single care in the world.

Life Changing Solo Trek to Everest Base Camp with Hill Sherpa Team

I traveled solo from Australia to hike to Everest Base Camp, it was a trip of a lifetime! I had such a great time in the Himalayas, with my wonderful guide, Mingma, and our nice, strong, reliable porter, Tendy.

The trek was indeed challenging in areas, but never once did I feel unsafe, unsupported, or uncared for. Mingma was better than great, keeping tabs on my oxygen and offering wise 'mountain doctor' advice on what to eat, drink, and how to acclimatise to the climate. His diligence ensured that I stayed healthy and acclimatised so that I could truly enjoy the experience.

The countryside we drove through was just totally breathtaking, this was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I strongly recommend you book with Hill Sherpa Trekking and Expedition company, and if at all possible, request Mingma as your guide - he's knowledgeable, dependable, and a top bloke.

Unforgettable Everest Base Camp Trip with Hill Sherpa Trek Guide

A best journey to Everest base camp trek was one of the lifetime experiences.
Our 12-day Everest base camp trek wasn't just a journey, it was a soul-stirring experience that surpassed each and every dream and expectation. The breathtaking beauty of Nepal left us breathless at every corner, but it was the Nepali people's warmth, kindness, and spirit that made this experience truly one of a kind.

Pasang Sherpa had everything so smooth right from the beginning, with great flexibility and responsiveness to our needs both before arrival and throughout the trip. The guide, Dendy, was absolutely fantastic, unbelievably knowledgeable, patient to a fault, and with a sense of humor that kept us laughing throughout the trek. His ability to be flexible and read the moment was invaluable.

We left Nepal with full hearts, deep gratitude, and a burning desire to return. It is definitely that our future treks will be with Hill Sherpa Trekking again. They didn’t just guide us through the mountains, they gave us memories for a lifetime.

Everest Base Camp Trek – A Truly Life-Changing Journey

Our Everest Base Camp trek with Hill Sherpa Trekking was the trip of a lifetime, far more than we ever could have imagined. This trip from start to finish was flawless, breathtaking, and deeply inspiring.

The Himalayan scenery was nothing short of spectacular, with each day on the trail providing heart-stopping vistas of snow-clad peaks, ancient monasteries, and vibrant Sherpa villages. But what really made this journey so memorable was the hospitality, friendliness, and character of the Nepali people.

A big thank you to Pasang sherpa, who was prompt and helpful when it came to booking. He ironed out the whole pre-arrival process effortlessly, keeping the timeline ticking along as per what we needed, and answering all questions patiently.

At trekking itself, we were even luckier to have Pemba Dorji sherpa as the guide with us. He was so kind, positive, and helpful in his knowledge of the mountains, culture, and condition of the trail. He was even very funny, made us laugh, and never stopped asking about our comfort, pleasure, and well-being in each activity on the trip.

Hill Sherpa Trekking gave us such a enriching and rewarding experience. This wasn't a trek, this was being enveloped and immersed by nature, culture, and oneself. If you are going to be contemplating trekking to the Everest Base Camp, all I can do is give all the positives of what Hill Sherpa did.

We’re already planning our return to Nepal, and without a doubt, we’ll be trekking again with this amazing team. They didn’t just guide us to Everest Base Camp, they gave us memories that will last a lifetime.

Guided by Legends, Our Everest Base Camp Experience

From day one to the spectacular heli flight out, our Everest Base Camp trek was pure magic, thanks to our incredible guide Dendy sherpa and our superhuman porter Ngima.

Dendy was unfazed, skilled, and genuinely kind. He knew every trail, teahouse, and secret for remaining firm at high altitude (tip: drink lots of water and eat your dal bhat). His calm reassurance and unwavering support got us through even the most dismal of days.

And Ngima, what a legend. Carrying enormous loads with a grin, ever leading the way before us, ever at hand. Strong, kind, and full of good vibes.

The whole trip was in one piece: divine routes, quaint teahouses, and shrewd tweaks when the weather got the better of us, such as our Manthali delay, handled like pros.

We topped it all off with a breathtaking heli trip from Namche to Kathmandu, a high-altitude farewell to the Himalayas (and an easy jog around Lukla's chaos).

Pro tip: Dal Bhat power, 24 hours

Bottom line: this trek exceeded every expectation. If you’re going to Everest Base Camp, go with Dendy sherpa. Huge thanks to Dendy and Ngima for guiding us with heart, humor, and pure good vibes.

An Unforgettable Trek to Everest Base Camp with Hill Sherpa Trekking

I recently returned from the Everest Base Camp trek with Hill Sherpa Trekking, and it was simply amazing. From beginning to end, the whole experience was flawless, extremely rewarding, and wonderfully organized. For the trekking party of 3 was fortunate to have the very experienced and knowledgeable Pasang Sherpa as a guide, who, with his leadership, not only accomplished the trek successfully but also made it an experience to remember.

Pasang's local insight, cultural awareness, and calm, confident guidance were a blessing in disguise. He kept us firmly grounded at each stage of the trek, our spirits during challenging moments, and our health and welfare second to none at all times. His love for the Himalayas was contagious, and he brought the mountains alive with history, legend, and heart.

Hill Sherpa Trekking, the staff were first-rate across the board. From accommodations and food to transportation and permits, everything was well taken care of and professionally done. The porters were total heroes: strong, trustworthy, and smiling all the time. Their commitment enabled us to enjoy the trip to the fullest without a single worry.

To have finally arrived at Everest Base Camp was a dreamlike and tearful experience, with sky-scorched mountain, wind-frayed prayer flags, and the shared euphoria of fellow travelers. It was the culmination of days of toil, companionship, and heart-stopping scenery.

I would strongly suggest Hill Sherpa Trekking to anyone who is willing to turn the 12 Days Everest Base Camp trek into reality. Their professionalism, courtesy, and attention to detail were the most important. A massive big thank you to Pasang Sherpa and everybody at Hill Sherpa, you took a dream and turned it into one of the best experiences of my life. Regards, Sung Jinwoo
