Everest Base Camp luxury Trek Accommodation
There are three styles of accommodations at the Everest Base Camp Luxury Lodge trekking. We will be accommodated at Yatri Suites & Spa or Similar in Kathmandu. During trekking, we will be staying in the Yeti Mountain Home (luxury lodge) and 6 nights will be spent in the best available local lodges.
Unlike the hotel in Kathmandu and the luxury lodges, the local lodges have shared washing and toilet facilities too. All accommodations for Everest Base Camp Luxury Lodge trek are on a twin-shared basis.
Everest Base Camp Luxury lodge trek Difficulty
Everest base camp luxury trekking will be moderate. You'll be walking for 5 to 6 hours a day. The daily increase in elevation and the change in terrain may exhaust you sooner than you could have imagined.
This trek is doable for amateur trekkers, but you have to be well prepared. Even though we say it is a moderate trek, the rough mountainous trail and long walking hours with regular increases in elevation demand strong determination. You have to be fit enough to keep ascending and descending. Being a luxury trekking package, you'll see fewer challenges when it comes to night stays.
Everest Base Camp Luxury Lodge Trek FAQs
Do I Need Previous Experience?
No previous experience of trekking is needed but you should be moderately fit and must enjoy walking and be adaptable to high-end altitude conditions. Having previous experience is definitely beneficial but it is not a must to participate in this trip. All travelers need to be in good physical health in order to participate fully in this trip. We strongly advise you to prepare yourself for the trip that is at least 3 months prior to your trip date by doing regular exercises, hiking, running, or gym. The fitter you are, the more enjoyable you will also find the experience of trekking. All our trip itinerary has been devised keeping every aspect in mind and allows ample time for acclimatization.
Guide and staff ratio on the trek?
We also possess a deep passion for alpine adventure and the outdoors, and with the small professional group we have at board, we’ve notched up experience that spans almost 3 decades at some of the most isolated trails and highest peaks.
We take great pride in calling ourselves a ‘high-altitude adventure specialist’ and all this is due to our diverse and qualified team for guides. Most of our guides were born in these parts & have relatives living in other parts of the regions where they were born in. Your trip will be led by a qualified and highly experienced guide with 1 porter to every 2 participants and 1 assistant guide to every 5-8 participants in the trek.
An average day at the trek?
Daily wake-up calls will be from 6.00 am to 7.00 am while you are on the trek. The wake-up time and breakfast time will be decided the night before during the briefing time. The timetable for each day will also entirely depend on your walking duration for that particular day.
After a hearty breakfast, we move off to the day's walk. Before breakfast, you are required to pack your duffel bag as it will be loaded by the local porter while you are having your breakfast. After 3-4 hours of walking, we stop for lunch in mid-day.
The afternoon walk is generally shorter and we usually arrive at our destination in time for afternoon tea. The rest of the afternoon can be spent exploring the village, washing your clothes or simply relaxing with a good book. On some days, we will arrive at our destination by lunchtime and the entire afternoon will be free. After dinner, the evening will often be spent playing cards and reliving the day's adventures, before heading off to bed for a well-deserved sleep.
What a beautiful trek. Everything the overview promised and more. In the 'additional information' on the company's website they forewarn you that while the tour is categorised as easy, they would put it in the moderate to difficult basket. I would agree. At 57 I'm older than the average trekker, and yes perhaps I was feeling my age a bit. Make sure you're fit.
Guide Bishnu helped me a lot - a brilliant guide. He gave me tips on how to go the distance, how to pace it - going at a slow but steady pace with frequent little breaks. He told me he has done this trek hundreds of times and obviously knows it very well - right down to the fine details, eg. which hotel room to book, so that the client has a view of the mountains. Having done the trek many, many times hasn't dented his enthusiasm for it and for making sure the client is happy. With all the hotel bookings made for me in advance, everything ran like clockwork.
A very professional company with good clear communication and prompt replies to queries. I'll be booking with them for my next trek.

We had a fantastic experience with Nepal Hiking Adventures and highly recommend this company to those researching a trek to Everest Base Camp. The owner Bishnu is very professional and responsive through WhatsApp which made booking very easy. The trek is great value for money, and we had excellent support from our guide Ram, and Sherpa Hemanta. Ram in particular made our trip very enjoyable, he went at a comfortable pace suitable for all members of the group, checked in with us all the time to make sure we were feeling well as we ascended and descended, and was really enjoyable company, a fun person to be around. Don’t hesitate to book with Nepal Hiking Adventures, highly recommended!

What a pleasurable and exciting experience I had.
I was planning for my first hiking trip to Nepal and the foremost trip was to visit the Everest Base Camp. A dear colleague of mine referred Nepal Everest base camp team, where Bishnu was to help organise the trip. Not going into too many details, I hired Bishnu and I must say his openness and facilitation took care of everything for me. Not knowing what to expect when I land in Kathmandu, I was taken care from the moment I exited the arrival terminal. Gore Sherpa was appointed as my guide and personal escort. He from that point on would not let me worry about any thing; dropping me at the hotel and picking up for Lukla flight, which got cancelled due to bad weather and then successfully landing in Lukla the next day, and then the whole trek. Gore was on top of everything, he made sure that I do not have to ask for anything. Breakfast, Lunch and dinner arrangements, room comfortability, having an extra blanket, carrying my stuff himself, everything was managed to perfection. He would match my pace at the trek and not once he had shown any single grin on his face. I would like to thank and strongly recommend Nepal Everest Base Camp for a memorable hiking experience to all who are reading this review and also you should insist Gore to be your guide who will not only take care of you but would be a perfect companion in terms of history and conversations about the mountains, peaks and passes in Nepal.
