Yes, the Everest base camp luxury trek is all about experiencing the comforts along with walking into the dreamland of every travel lover and adventure seeker – Everest region.

Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Everest, and many more in Everest base camp luxury trek.
We'd like to inform you that during the peak trekking seasons, which are Spring (March, April, and May) and Autumn (September, October, and November), flights to Lukla are routed through Ramechhap Airport. Therefore, we kindly request that you prepare for an early morning drive (around 1 AM from Kathmandu) to Ramechhap on the second day of your journey.
The Everest base camp luxury trek starts with a grand welcome in a five-star hotel in Kathmandu. You can have a wonderful time in the hotel with fine dining along with various other offerings like a spa, gym, swimming pool, and many more. After an excellent time in Kathmandu, you will be escorted to Kathmandu airport for a flight to Lukla. From Lukla, you set for an adventurous journey that goes through dense forests, attractive Sherpa villages, and Sagarmatha National Park, which is home to many rare species of floras and faunas.
Everest base camp luxury trek further extends to Namche Bazaar and Tengboche. In Namche, you can enjoy the vibrancy of the town, and in Tengboche, you can enjoy the spiritual vibes at the monastery. What’s common, is the views of mountains that soar above the skyline and the luxurious accommodation at your service. A view from Everest View Hotel offers some astounding close views of the mountains in the Everest region. Similarly, Tengboche is the perfect location for mountain views! Mt. Ama Dablam rises just above the monastery and other mountains in the backdrop, isn’t it amazing?
The journey follows the Lobuche, Gorekshep before reaching the iconic base camp of Mt. Everest. After reaching the base camp, we walked back to Gorekshep for a night. The next morning, we will hike up to Kalapather ( 5545 M), the highest point of the trek, for sunrise views over Mount Everest. To conclude our trek, we back to Gorekshep, take a helicopter to Lukla and the next day we will fly to Kathmandu from Lukla.
The first day marks your arrival day in Kathmandu. Clear all the visa requirements and customs clearance, if any, at the arrival section of the airport. As you come out, you will find a representative from World Alpine Treks waiting for you holding a board with your name. You will then be transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. The representative will inform you shortly about the plans ahead.
On the second day, you will be headed to the domestic terminal of Tribhuwan Airport for a flight to Lukla. The flight to Lukla is an enriching experience, and you will be able to enjoy some wonderful views of the mountains. As you land in Lukla, you will meet our other crew members at the airport. From Lukla, we walk down the trail along with hotels and lodges to Dudhkoshi River. We cross a long suspension bridge over the river and follow a path to Phakding.
We wake up early and enjoy our breakfast. Then we follow our trail that goes through an undulating path up and down via traditional villages, fields, and rhododendron forests. We gradually ascend and enter Sagarmatha National Park with magnificent views of Mt. Thamserku on sight. We pass villages like Jorsale and Monjo on the way to Namche. Namche Bazaar is an old but lively Sherpa village. It is a gateway to all the trekking routes that go to the Everest region. There are many vibrant shops, cyber cafes, restaurants, hotels, and lodges at this time. Namche Bazaar never rests. It always gets a lot of visitors and is always crowded.
The narrow streets of Namche is always crowded. Do not be surprised if the yak bells and other horns wake you up. Today is a day set aside for acclimatization purposes. As we gain height, our body needs to be well adapted to the altitude change. Therefore, we have set aside an extra day in Namche. Today, we hike up to Everest View Hotel for close-up views of the mountains in the Everest region. From the hotel, we can enjoy some striking views of mountains like Kwangde, Thamserku, Kangtega, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, etc. We can visit a museum and a photo gallery on our way back to Namche from the Everest View Hotel.
As we ascend up, our trail traverses through the forests of rhododendrons with brilliant views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Amadablam, and Mt. Lhotse on sight. After a while, the trail descends down to the Dudh Koshi River at Phungi Thanga. From here, the trail further ascends through the forests of pine and rhododendron to Tengboche. Tengboche is popular for the Tengboche monastery and astonishing views of Mt. Ama Dablam along with other peaks in the region. Tengboche monastery is considered the largest monastery in the region.
We leave Tengboche and start climbing up the trail for around six hours to Dingboche. As we ascend, we can notice the change in vegetation. We can find ourselves moving above the tree line with pastures and meadows along the way. On the way, we can see small fields enclosed by stone walls to protect crops from cold winds. As we open up to the meadows of Dingboche, we will find ourselves in a spectacular location with wonderful views of Lhotse and Nuptse Ridge on sight. If the weather is favorable, one can relish the amazing views of the sunset over the Ama Dalam Himal in the Everest region.
We spend another day in Dingboche. This day in Dingboche is a part of acclimatization. As we have already gained enough height, acclimatization is a necessity. Therefore, we enjoy our day in Dingboche today. After breakfast in the guesthouse, we hike up to Nagerjun for close-up views of mountains in the Everest region. We will be blessed with amazing views of Mt. Makalu, Mt. Ama Dalam, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, and many more. After enjoying the spectacles of the mountains from Nagerjun, we walk back to the guesthouse in Dingboche for the night.
Leaving Dingboche, the trail climbs up a ridge with some magnificent views of Taboche Peak and Cholatse. Further, the trail continues through yak pastures until we cross a wooden bridge over a stream to Duglha. From Duglha, we ascend for an hour along a steep route above the moraine of Khumbu glacier. From here, we ascend the valley to Lobuche enjoying the views of Khumbutse, Pumori, and Lingtren. Mt. Everest becomes invisible as it is hidden behind the towering peaks of Lhotse and Nuptse.
Today is one of the most rewarding days of our journey. Our week-long hard work is going to pay off as we will be stepping into the Everest Base Camp – the dream of every single travel lover. From Lobuche, we follow a rocky path to the last village of the trail – Gorekshep. From Gorekshep, we continue towards the world’s highest base camp i.e. Everest Base Camp, through the Khumbu glacier. It is considered one of the most dangerous sections of the Everest Base Camp Trek. As we reach the base camp, we will be showered with some mesmerizing views of glaciers, lakes, caves, and icefalls. Though the views of Mt. Lhotse and Mt. Nuptse are quite clear, Mt. Everest hides behind the shades of Lhotse and Nuptse. After spending some time in base camp, we returned to Gorekshep via the same route.
Today, we woke up a little early to catch the sunrise views from Kalapatthar. We hike up for around two to three hours from Gorekshep to Kalapatthar. As we ascend, we get the first glimpse of the mighty Mt. Everest along with the other peaks like Mt. Pumori, Mt. Lingtren, Mt. Khumbutse, Mt. Changtse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Cho Oyu, Mt. Ama Dablam, etc. The golden rays of sunrise glittering over the snow-clad mountains in the region look amazing. After having this amazing view from Kalapatthar, we will return to Gorekshep, and then a helicopter will pick us up and take us back to Lukla.
We take a return flight from Lukla to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel room in Kathmandu. You can relax in your room for the rest of the day.
Before a few hours of your scheduled flight, you will be transferred to the international terminal of Tribhuwan International Airport.

Excellent trip to ABC & EBC with a professional Guide
A very special thanks to my really good guide, Deepak. I don't think I can find a better one. I traveled solo and he was always there advising me on things to buy, also taking good care of me and answering all my queries during my trek. When I had blisters and walked with so much pain, he always made jokes to make me feel better. Would choose Alpine Treks because of Deepak on all my future Nepal trips as my trip was a success! The Alpine Treks team is amazing and everyone showed more care than interest in money which I found truly amazing. They always prioritized my safety, and food and made sure I was always contented with everything. They give very good service. Deepak personally sent and fetched me from the airport and they always had lovely greetings and farewells.
My trip went very well because I decided to go with World Alpine Treks. It's really important to find the right trekking company and I especially recommend them as they were more interested in my well-being and to enjoy my stay in Nepal more than anything else. There was full transparency from the start to the end & Deepak always answered every query I had even before I arrived in Nepal. World Alpine Treks is a trustable, honorable company and I would recommend it to all. Have been on a hiking trip to EBC, ABC & Annapurna Circuit with them.
The Everest Base Camp Trek with Deepak as a guide was probably the best experience of my life. It’s important to have someone taking care of you and looking up to your well-being, safety, and comfort while you are facing an experience as challenging. Deepak took care of booking the best and most comfortable accommodations all along the way, ordering our food, getting all the tickets (plane, national park, etc) since they were included in the price, and helped us manage the high properly (we had NO issues at all under his watch) and most importantly was super involved in making our experience perfect. We become friends with both Guide and Sherpa along the way.
I wouldn’t have imagined how amazing this experience would be. I am forever grateful to Deepak and his company, who also took care of helping us get last-minute clothes since our bags were delayed 12 days (this was completely out of their scope of work, and they did it only out of kindness and devotion to their job). I would recommend anyone who makes this experience with World Alpine Treks, a great and very professional company, and most importantly, owned by great people.
I have been to EBC and had Deepak as my guide. He is very professional, warm, and cute. He took care of our group and helped us immediately with whatever we needed. During the 13 days, he gave us a lot of good suggestions to make the trip safer. I trust him and enjoy my time in Nepal very much. If you are going to Nepal for trekking, EBC is a good choice and Deepak is a good guide to consider.
我曾經去尼泊爾的EBC健行，並且認識了高山嚮導Deepak。他非常的專業、溫暖，而且很可愛。在10幾天的旅行中，他給了我們很多的建議，讓旅程更為安全。是一個值得信任的嚮導。
What an amazing Journey to EBC
It was an incredible trek to Everest base camp with friends, guides Durga, and all the porters. The teahouses and meals each night were good. We would highly recommend World Alpine Treks to everyone! World Alpine was organized, clear, and quick to communicate with. They provided a detailed packing list and all necessary information before the trip started which we found very helpful and made the entire experience easy.
Perfect EBC trekking with Friends
We had an unforgettable experience trekking to Everest Base Camp in September with World Alpine Treks. Our group of 5 was guided by Durga, who provided all the necessary information and ensured a smooth journey from start to finish. Durga’s leadership and expertise made us feel safe and well-prepared for each day's challenge.
A special shoutout to our porters, Bishnu, Ramesh, and Megh, who were absolutely fantastic—helpful, friendly, and always ready to assist. The entire team went above and beyond, and the trek was perfectly organized with stunning views, comfortable accommodations, and great company.
Thank you Deepak for organizing this trek! We highly recommend World Alpine Treks to anyone looking for EBC hiking!
