You can find plethora of trekking itineraries for the Everest Base Camp Trek. However, it is crucial to find the correct one with an authentic taste. The travel planners of the Hikers Himalaya are from the Khumbu region of Nepal. Therefore, our trekking itinerary is always accurate and updated. At around 1545 $ for 14 days adventure, relish the chance to be closer to the Himalayas of the Mahalangur Himalayan range. On top of that, trekkers can experience impeccable hospitality and quality services while doing the trek with the team of the Hikers Himalaya Pvt. Ltd.
The first thing that trekkers have to do for the EBC Trek in Nepal is reaching the Lukla. It is the scenic town and gateway of the Everest. The classical Everest Base Camp Trekking used to start from the town of Jiri before the construction of the Tenzing Hillary Lukla Airport. However, the trekking scene of the Everest region changed astronomically after the operation of the Lukla Airport. The world’s most extreme airport serves as the cornerstone of trekking and tour activities in the region.
During the peak season, trekkers may have to use Manthali Airport instead of Kathmandu Domestic Airport for the flight to Lukla. It is to manage the traffic and utilize the short flying window as the Lukla weather conditions are highly unpredictable. Nowadays, trekkers can also choose to reach Lukla via road trip but note that you can’t reach Lukla directly by road. The road network has connected Surke village (1 hour from Lukla) and Salleri via bumpy dry season road.
The journey of the Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the leading high – altitude trekking trips. Therefore, you need to be aware of the risks of the altitude sickness. The best way to avoid fatal altitude sickness risks is by doing proper acclimatization. The activities of acclimatization help trekkers to adapt with the demands of the low oxygen level high – altitude places. There are two acclimatization days during the EBC Trek in Nepal. The first acclimatization is at Namche Bazaar and the second one is at the Dingboche Village. The concept of acclimatization is that you reach the high – altitude place but return back to low – altitude place for overnight sleep.
The Namche Bazaar is the Khumbu and Sherpa heartland. It is the major marketplace of Upper Khumbu region. Trekkers can find eateries, banks, shops, lodges, and local houses in this place which is probably the highest situated vibrant town up in the Himalayas. Normally, travelers spend three nights in this village during the Everest Trekking including acclimatization day. As for the acclimatization, trekkers hike to the Everest View Hotel (3880 m). Relish the chance to behold the vista of more than a dozen mountains.
The second acclimatization is at the last densely populated Sherpa Village on the EBC Trek route – Dingboche Village (4400 m). The Nagarshan Hill (5100 m) hike prepares trekkers for trekking activities beyond 4400 m from sea level.
Trek to the Everest Base Camp in the most regal and sumptuous way by booking the Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek. Helicopter flights and luxury mountain lodges are used in the trekking package of the luxury trek in Everest. The trail is one of the leading commercial trekking routes of Nepal.

My wife and I recently used this company to support our climb to EBC. For 12 years, the climb to EBC was my wifes dream to achieve. We had the pleasure of having Bibek and Mangla aid us during this journey. We have climbed many mountains around the world, Bibek and Mangla are without doubt, the best team we’ve had the pleasure of helping us. I strongly recommend them if you are going to take in this adventure. You will not be disappointed. Jeff & Karen the “DO EPIC SH*T” couple.
Full disclosure upfront, I haven’t trekked with Bibek from Hikers Himalaya. BUT I worked with Bibek for seven years through a Nepali trekking agency that I organised treks for, so feel I’m well qualified to write this review.
I can honestly say he’s on par with the best guide you’ll find in Nepal. Feedback from clients who trekked with Bibek was consistently as good as it gets. In fact other trekkers asked our clients which company he worked for because they saw how good he was!
I always felt completely reassured when allocating Bibek to guide clients. He’s very experienced and knowledgeable, plus he’s one of the nicest people you could hope to meet – the perfect recipe for a guide you’ll want to spend several days with (and believe me when I say, your guide can make or break your trip).
Bibek will go out of his way to create the perfect trip based on your requirements and will adapt to fit your needs on the go – another important quality!
Honestly, I can’t recommend him highly enough.
We had a wonderful trekking to Everest base camp and Chollapass via Gokyo Lake trekking with Bibek gurung it was a amazing experience and very very professional trip with him and he is very much knowledgeable and experienced supportive guide for whole team of 19 peoples and definitely I will be back soon to do trekking with him for another adventure in Nepal and always I would like to recommend him anyone who planing to do trekking in Nepal you will have a amazing and lifetime great memories don’t miss this opportunities,thank you very much for your excellent service and great care
