After acclimatizing in Namche, the journey continues to Tengboche, home to the peaceful Tengboche Monastery, nestled among towering peaks. As you trek further, you’ll experience stunning views and reach the high-altitude Everest Base Camp.

Welcome to Nepal. Once you arrive at Kathmandu airport, you’ll go through luggage checks and complete your on-arrival visa process if needed. Don’t worry, the process is simple, and help is always available.
After that, a representative from Himalayan Massif Trek will greet you at the airport. They will assist you with your transfer to the hotel, where you can settle in and relax. Since you might feel tired from your journey, taking the day to rest is a great idea. It’s the perfect way to prepare for the exciting adventures ahead.
Today, you’ll take a stunning 30-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla Airport, located at an altitude of 2,846 meters. During peak trekking seasons, flights may operate from Ramechap Airport instead. If so, we’ll arrange a private vehicle for the 4-hour drive to Ramechap.
Upon arriving in Lukla, your trek begins. You’ll walk through lush trails surrounded by greenery as you head to the village of Phakding. This 4-hour hike is a gentle introduction to your adventure, offering a glimpse of the natural beauty of the Khumbu region.
After a hearty breakfast in Phakding, you’ll set out for Namche Bazaar, a bustling mountain town and the gateway to the Everest region. The trail leads you through beautiful villages, and into Monjo, where you’ll officially enter Sagarmatha National Park. As you continue, the climb becomes steeper, and you’ll cross thrilling suspension bridges adorned with colorful prayer flags fluttering in the breeze.
Arriving in Namche Bazaar is a rewarding experience after the steady ascent. You can unwind and enjoy incredible views or stroll through the vibrant streets of this Sherpa hub if you feel up to it. If not, don’t worry - you’ll have plenty of time to explore and acclimatize the following day.
Today is all about resting and adjusting to the higher altitude, but that doesn’t mean the day will lack adventure. You can hike to nearby villages like Khunde and Khumjung, which offer beautiful views and a chance to immerse yourself in the local culture. A short trek to the Everest View Hotel is also a great option, where you’ll be rewarded with amazing vistas of the Everest region.
In Khumjung, you can visit the famous monastery that holds what is believed to be the skull of a Yeti. There’s also an art gallery displaying an interpretation of the mythical creature’s appearance. Don’t miss a visit to Khumjung Secondary School, a project founded by Sir Edmund Hillary, to learn about the region’s history and education. These activities make your rest day both enjoyable and meaningful.
Your journey to Deboche begins with an incline to Kenjoma, followed by a challenging uphill climb to Tengboche. Tengboche is home to the famous Tengboche Monastery, a spiritual highlight of the region. From here, you’ll enjoy clear views of iconic peaks like Ama Dablam and Everest, making the effort worthwhile.
The path from Tengboche to Deboche is more relaxed, with a gentle downhill walk. Once you reach Deboche, you’ll be welcomed by beautiful views of towering peaks like Nuptse, Kantega, and Thamserku, making it a peaceful spot to rest for the night.
Today, you’ll embark on a 13-kilometer trek to Dingboche, which takes about 7 hours. The trail begins with a descent into the Imja Khola Valley, followed by a steady climb to the village of Pangboche. Along the way, you'll enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding mountains throughout the day.
Dingboche is an enchanting village nestled among stunning mountain peaks. While you won't have a direct view of Everest from here, you'll be surrounded by other magnificent mountains like Island Peak, and Ama Dablam.
Today, you’ll set out on an acclimatization hike to Nangkartshang Peak, which stands at an altitude of 5,083 meters. The 5-kilometer round-trip hike takes around 4-5 hours and offers incredible views of the Khumbu region’s majestic peaks, including Tawache, Pumori, Everest, Lhotse, and Island Peak. This hike not only helps your body adjust to the altitude but also provides an unforgettable experience of being surrounded by soaring mountains.
If time and energy allow, you can also visit Chhukung, a lovely spot for viewing Mount Makalu. After completing the hike, you’ll return to Dingboche, where you’ll spend another peaceful night, ready for the journey ahead.
On Day 8 of your exciting Everest Base Camp adventure, you'll embark on a five-hour hike from Dingboche to Lobuche. After enjoying a delicious breakfast in Dingboche, you'll set off on your trek. Along the way, you'll pass through Pheriche, a village nestled high in the mountains.
From Thugla, the trail ascends steeply toward Lobuche. This climb can feel challenging due to the thinner air at higher altitudes, but the reward is worth it. Upon reaching Lobuche, you’ll be greeted with views of the Khumbu Glacier, Nuptse, and Tawache. This peaceful mountain village marks another step closer to your ultimate goal, Everest Base Camp.
On this day, you’ll trek from Lobuche to Gorak Shep, a unique village high in the mountains. The hike covers about 7 kilometers and usually takes 3 to 4 hours. The trail can be tough, with high altitude and rocky paths, so it’s important to walk slowly, take breaks, and stay hydrated. After arriving at Gorak Shep, you’ll enjoy a hearty lunch to recharge.
In the afternoon, depending on your plan, you can hike to either Everest Base Camp or Kala Patthar. The trail will bring you closer to the Khumbu Glacier, offering stunning views. One of the highlights of this trek is crossing a frozen lakebed – a truly unforgettable experience. Afterward, you’ll rest at a teahouse in Gorak Shep, preparing for the next part of your journey.
After breakfast at Gorak Shep, you'll first trek to Kala Patthar. This 2-hour hike will bring you to one of the best viewpoints of Mount Everest, where you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Kala Patthar is famous for its breathtaking sunrise views, and today you'll capture unforgettable photos of Everest and the Khumbu region.
Once you've explored Kala Patthar, you’ll continue your journey to Everest Base Camp. This final stretch takes about 1-3 hours, depending on the pace, and brings you closer to the Khumbu Glacier. Upon reaching Everest Base Camp, you'll rest in a cozy tent with a warm sleeping bag and enjoy a meal for a comfortable overnight stay at the foot of Everest.
Today, you'll start your journey back to Pheriche, passing through Gorak Shep and Lobuche. The trek covers 13 kilometers and usually takes about 5 to 6 hours. The path begins with a descent from Gorak Shep, making your way toward Lobuche at a slow and steady pace.
Once you reach Lobuche, you'll continue the descent to Pheriche, where you'll spend the night. The day’s hike offers a more relaxing pace, giving you time to enjoy the changing landscapes as you move closer to lower altitudes.
Today’s trek takes about 6 to 7 hours, with a descent of almost 1000 meters. The path has some rocky sections and ups and downs, but the views are worth it. If you're lucky, you may spot wild goats and pheasants along the way in Sagarmatha National Park.
You’ll stop for a rest at Sansa, where you can admire the stunning views of Ama Dablam and Thamserku. From there, you'll continue your trek through lush forests, eventually reaching Namche Bazaar. You'll spend the night in this vibrant village, enjoying its unique atmosphere.
On your final day of trekking, you'll cover about 17.9 kilometers from Namche Bazaar to Lukla, taking around 6 to 7 hours. The descent is easier than expected, and after all the trekking you've done so far, your body is ready for the mild ups and downs along the way.
Once you reach Lukla, you’ll have completed your journey in the Everest region. It’s the last stop before heading back to Kathmandu to rest and reflect on the unforgettable adventure.
Most flights from Lukla take place in the early morning due to the unpredictable weather. During this flight, you'll enjoy one last breathtaking view of the Everest region, with the mountains shining in the golden light of the morning.
Once you arrive in Kathmandu, you can freshen up with a shower before taking a relaxing stroll around the lively streets of Thamel. Since this is your last day before heading home, it’s a great chance to pick up souvenirs for your loved ones.
This day serves as a buffer in case you can’t fly out from Lukla due to bad weather. If the weather is clear and you’ve already arrived in Kathmandu, you can spend the day exploring the city’s rich history and culture.
Kathmandu is a city full of ancient monuments and spiritual places. You can customize your day to visit the seven UNESCO World Heritage sites, like Swoyambhu, Boudhanath, and Pashupatinath, which are favorites among travelers. You can also explore the beautiful Durbar Squares in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur.

The High-altitude Everest Overnight Trek is a dream adventure for many trekkers, and picking the right time to go can make all the difference. To get the most out of your experience, it’s best to plan your trek during the right season. Spring and autumn are the top times to visit because of the great weather and beautiful views.
a. Peak Season Options (Pleasant Weather, Crowds)
Spring (March - May): Spring is one of the busiest and best times to take the Everest Base Camp Overnight Trek. The days are usually sunny, with clear skies and mild temperatures. The trails are colorful, with rhododendrons in bloom, adding to the beauty of your trek. If you want to catch the best weather, aim for the middle of the season when the views are at their clearest.
Autumn (September - November): Autumn is another fantastic time to trek. The weather is cool, and the skies are mostly clear. The views of Mount Everest and nearby peaks are sensational. October is especially popular, offering perfect weather for a memorable trek. The trails also look vibrant after the monsoon rains, giving you a unique experience.
b. Off-Season Options (For Experienced Trekkers)
Winter (December - February): Winter brings a challenge for those looking for a more quiet and adventurous trek. It’s very cold, with temperatures sometimes dropping to -25.9°C at night, but the skies are often clear, and the area is peaceful. If you’re well-prepared for the cold, winter trekking can be an option for a lifetime experience.
Monsoon Season (June - August): The monsoon season is the least ideal for trekking. Heavy rains can make the trails slippery, and landslides may occur. The views can be blurred, but if you’re looking for peace and a unique experience, it’s still an option - though it’s best for seasoned trekkers.
c. Key Considerations
Weather: For the best views, choose a season with clear skies and stable weather.
Crowds: If you’d rather avoid crowds, consider trekking in the off-season, early spring, or late autumn.
Temperature: Spring and autumn are milder, while winter can be very cold. Pick the season that best suits your comfort level.
Festivals: Be mindful of major Nepali festivals like Dashain (September/October), which might impact your travel or costs.
Booking: If you’re trekking during peak seasons, it’s a good idea to book your trek and accommodations early, especially during festival times.
Note: Even during the best seasons, weather can be unpredictable. Make sure to pack accordingly and be ready to adjust your plans if needed for a safe and comfortable trek.
Here are some things to remember to make your Everest Base Camp Trek as smooth and enjoyable as possible:
a. Visa: Almost everyone (except Indian citizens) needs a visa to visit Nepal. You can get one when you arrive at the airport in Kathmandu. Here are some things to keep in mind:
b. Travel Insurance: This is super important, especially for climbing the Everest Base Camp. Make sure your insurance policy covers medical expenses, evacuation, and helicopter rescue up to 6,000 meters. Double-check with your insurance company to make sure everything is covered.
c. Currency Exchange: The currency in Nepal is the Nepali Rupee (NPR). It's best to bring widely accepted currencies like USD, EUR, or GBP and exchange them at banks or money exchangers. There are also ATMs in Kathmandu, but they might have limits on how much money you can withdraw and charge extra fees. Make sure your cash is clean and not ripped, as torn notes may not be accepted.
d. Extra Spending Money: There will probably be some things you want to buy or do that aren't included in your trek package. This could include accommodations in Kathmandu before or after your trek, your visa, travel insurance, snacks, drinks (both hot and cold), Wi-Fi access, hot showers, and tips for your porters. You should budget around $10 to $20 per trekking day for these additional expenses.
By planning ahead and bringing everything you need, you can relax and focus on enjoying your amazing EBC Trek adventure.
The Everest Base Camp Overnight Trek Package ensures you stay nourished and well-rested throughout your adventure, whether you're trekking.
i. Meals on the Trek
You’ll enjoy three wholesome meals daily, featuring a mix of local and international dishes:
Breakfast: You’ll start your day with options like pancakes, porridge, chapati, eggs (boiled, scrambled, or in an omelet), hash brown potatoes, and toast.
Lunch and Dinner: Meals include local favorites like Dal Bhat (a filling dish of rice, lentil soup, and curry) and Sherpa stew, along with pasta, noodles, fried rice, and seasonal vegetables. Dinner often comes with warm soups like tomato, garlic, or mushroom soup to keep you cozy.
Drinks: Refreshing drinks such as black tea, ginger tea, lemon tea, and milk coffee are available. Staying hydrated is essential, so aim to drink plenty of fluids and avoid alcohol or fizzy drinks to reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
ii. Accommodation During the Trek
During the Everest Trek with Overnight at EBC, you’ll stay in cozy mountain lodges and teahouses with basic facilities. Rooms are typically shared between two trekkers and include a bed, blanket, and pillow. Some lodges offer hot showers, Wi-Fi, and electric blankets, though these services may be limited at higher altitudes.

However, in Kathmandu, you’ll enjoy a comfortable stay at a 3-star hotel with modern amenities. Options for luxury or budget accommodations are also available, based on your preference.
iii. Tips for Trekkers

Acclimatization plays an important role in the success of your Everest Base Camp Overnight Trek Package. As you climb to higher altitudes, your body needs time to adjust to the thinner air. To ensure your safety and help you enjoy the trek, we’ve planned special rest days for you to acclimatize.
During these rest days, you’ll spend time at certain altitudes where your body can gradually adjust to the changing environment. This is especially important on the High-altitude Everest Overnight Trek, where you’ll be spending a night at Everest Base Camp.
For instance, on the Everest Base Camp Sleeping Trek, you’ll have an acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar, a vibrant Sherpa town nestled at 3,440 meters. During your rest day here, you can explore the charming village, visit the Sagarmatha National Park Visitor Center, or take a short hike to help your body adjust. You can also trek to the Everest View Hotel for breathtaking views of the region.

It’s a great way for your body to adjust to the altitude while enjoying some of the most stunning scenery in the Khumbu region.
Our experienced guides will monitor your progress throughout the EBC Trek with Overnight at Base Camp. They’ll be there to offer advice and ensure that each step of the journey is safe and comfortable for you.
No, you usually don’t need oxygen cylinders to sleep at Everest Base Camp (EBC). However, some trekkers may carry portable oxygen in case of altitude sickness.
EBC sits at 5,364 meters (17,598 feet), where oxygen levels are lower than at sea level. While breathing can feel harder, the Everest Base Camp Sleeping Trek follows a well-paced itinerary with acclimatization days. This helps your body adjust naturally and reduces the risk of altitude sickness.
Thanks to this gradual approach, most trekkers can sleep at EBC without needing supplemental oxygen. Our guides ensure safety and portable oxygen is available for rare cases where it's needed.
With the right preparation and pacing, you can enjoy a comfortable night at Everest Base Camp without worrying about oxygen cylinders.
Sleeping at Everest Base Camp might sound unusual, but it is surprisingly comfortable. You'll stay in well-equipped tents designed for high-altitude camping. These tents are designed to keep you warm and dry, even in challenging weather conditions.
Our camp staff will take excellent care of you. They will prepare delicious meals and ensure you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We even provide basic amenities like tea and coffee.
While there's no electricity or running water at the camp, you'll have access to basic toilet facilities. You’ll also enjoy the simple pleasures of life at high altitude, like stargazing under one of the clearest skies on Earth. The night sky at Everest Base Camp is truly spectacular.
However, you need to remember that proper acclimatization is key to a comfortable stay. The Everest Base Camp Sleeping Trek includes rest days to allow your body to adjust to the altitude, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all trekkers.
