Everest Base Camp Trek - 14 Days

Trek to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar on a 14-day guided route via Namche, Dingboche, Tengboche, and Sherpa villages, with flights included.

Getting started

Begin your Standard 14-Day Trek Package in Kathmandu with airport pick-up and transfer to your hotel. Attend an orientation where your professional government-licensed trekking guide outlines the route and conducts initial pulse oximeter checks. After your welcome dinner, take the domestic Kathmandu–Lukla flight to start trekking, supported by porter service arranged for your group.

What to expect

Kathmandu and Lukla gateway

Your journey starts and ends in Kathmandu, with Lukla as the trekking gateway for the round-trip approach to the Everest region.

Features

• Spend two nights in a Kathmandu hotel with breakfast before and after the trek, with all ground transportation and airport drop-off included in your package.
• Fly on the domestic Kathmandu–Lukla–Kathmandu route, then begin the approximately 130 km round-trip trek under the care of your government-licensed trekking guide.
• Benefit from porter support at a ratio of one porter per two trekkers, carrying up to 15 kg of your shared luggage so you can focus on walking.

Namche Bazaar and acclimatization

Namche Bazaar is your first major stop inside Sagarmatha National Park and your key acclimatization hub.

Features

• Enter Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with your Sagarmatha National Park permit and TIMS card arranged in advance.
• Use your acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar to adjust to altitude while your guide monitors your condition with pulse oximeter checks.
• Enjoy one of the 11 nights of teahouse or lodge accommodation here, with meals provided as selected in your package.

Dingboche and Sherpa villages

Higher on the trail, Dingboche and surrounding Sherpa villages provide a second acclimatization phase and insight into local life.

Features

• Walk through traditional Sherpa villages along the designated route, gaining gradual elevation between overnight teahouse or lodge stays.
• Spend an acclimatization day in Dingboche, where your guide continues health monitoring and you follow a paced schedule designed for high-altitude trekking.
• Rely on staff whose insurance is covered by the operator, so the support team that carries loads and leads the way is fully backed throughout the trek.

Tengboche Monastery and high valley approach

The trail continues through Sagarmatha National Park toward Tengboche and the upper Khumbu valley on your way to Base Camp.

Features

• Visit Tengboche Monastery along the route, set within Sagarmatha National Park and surrounded by classic high-Himalayan valley scenery.
• Stay in teahouses or lodges each night as you move between Tengboche and higher settlements, with your guide setting a suitable pace for the group.
• Follow the structured 11-night trekking itinerary that balances walking time, lodge stays, and altitude gain to support a safe ascent.

Everest Base Camp

Everest Base Camp at 5,364 m is a key objective of this trek and the high point of your approach from Lukla.

Features

• Reach Everest Base Camp on foot as part of the included trek, completing the main goal of the Standard 14-Day Trek Package.
• Experience the glacier landscape at the base of the world’s highest mountain while your guide manages time and return logistics for the group.
• Your meals here and throughout the route are provided according to the meal plan you selected when booking the package.

Kala Patthar and return to Lukla

Kala Patthar offers a viewpoint for sunrise over Everest, followed by the descent back to Lukla and your flight to Kathmandu.

Features

• Climb Kala Patthar at 5,545 m, where sunrise over Everest is viewed from a high ridge as part of the included trek component.
• Begin your descent to Lukla along the same established trail, retracing sections through Sherpa villages, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Namche.
• Conclude the mountain section in Lukla before flying back to Kathmandu, where your final hotel night with breakfast and airport drop-off are included.

Wrapping up
