EBC trek is a full package of excitement, adventure, thrill, shocking moments, glory, and Himalayan sceneries of the almighty snow-capped mountains.


The allures of the mountains and the peaks raising high to dominate the sky make the EBC Trek glorious and awful. The snowcapped mountains play hide and seek with the trekkers, sometimes they hide behind the hills, or suddenly clouds, and mists cover them fully. When they appear, the whole scene will be like paradise, a scene beyond our imagination. Every step brings you closer and inside the Himalayas, you start from the green sub-tropical forest of the Sagarmatha National Park but when you reach the EBC, you have the whole surroundings of snow-covered peaks, moraines, and glaciers. And that’s the beauty of Everest Trekking. Dozens of mountains and peaks offer astounding scenes and make the journey a remarkable one.

Important Note

Best Season for the Trek: Autumn and summer are the best seasons for EBC Trek. Many peoples try Everest Trekking in either Autumn or in Summer. Professionals and experts also use trekking in Spring, but winter trekking is high risk and dangerous due to the heavy snowfalls, bad weather, and extreme cold. 

Experts and professionals recommend completing the Everest Trekking in Autumn or in Summer. During these seasons the Gateway of the highest peak in the world used to be clear, clean, dry, and well-maintained. The scenes use to be better and clearer. Landscapes and wildflowers make those times trekkers better.

Food and Accommodation in EBC Trek: Everest Region is one of the most developed trekking regions in Nepal. Many tourists standard guest houses and even 3/ 4 Star Hotels are operating there. During EBC Trekking, breakfast, and dinners are eaten in the Hotel/ Guesthouse we trekkers stay overnight. While lunch is taken at the noon at the restaurant or hotel on the route.

Many national and international foods cuisines are available in those hotels such as noodles, Omelets, spaghetti, Nepali soups, beans, Momo, fried rice, spring roll, steak, Chow-min, Dal-Bhat, lentil soups, and many Indian, Chinese, or continental foods. Even Vegan and Vegetarian foods are also easily available.

Difficulties and challenges of the Trek:  Gateway to the highest peak in the world is one of the hard trekking in Nepal. It takes a lot of strength and required physical fitness. The Difficulty of the Trek can be rated as Hard to challenging. This Trek involves climbing on steep, possibly slippery terrain. It is tougher, more rugged, and higher physical fitness requiring trek.

The most challenge of the EBC Trek is the altitude the route hits. The Max altitude of this trek is 5,555m which is taller than many other snowcapped peaks and mountains. The risk of Altitude sickness and other AMSs are higher for those who are not familiar with high altitudes, extreme cold, and thin oxygen level.

Early in the morning, we take a flight to Lukla. During the peak trekking season, the flights use to be highly occupied, and schedules are very tight. We must have to catch an early flight for a better start. And take breakfast at Lukla as well. 

During the peak season, to avoid traffic issues, regular flights to Lukla are used to schedule from Manthali Airport, Ramechap. In such a situation, we even wake every morning to reach Manthali for an early flight. Manthali to Lukla flight goes for around 20 minutes.

It takes around 4 hours of drive to reach the Manthali Airport from Kathmandu. The 25-30 min flight will be very awesome with insane aerial views of the diverse geography, terrains, hills, basin, river valleys, farmlands, cities, countryside, and mostly the mountains.

After landing in Lukla, we take our first mountain breakfast and prepare the backpacks and continue to trek. The Porters/ remaining crew members will join us here in Lukla before we kick out our Everest Trek.

It’s always good to add an acclimatization day when you are at an elevation above 3000m from sea level. It allows our body and health to adjust to the sudden change in elevation, weather, and oxygen level.

We must climb almost 1000 meters to reach Namche Bazar and experts recommend acclimatizing to elevation in every 1000m of climb. Considering the elevation, we spend a day here in Namche Bazar and explore the surroundings as well as hike nearby Everest Viewpoint.

Everest View Point or Hotel Everest View is one of the most popular and famous places in the Everest Region/Khumbu Region. The View Point has an astounding glance at Mt. Everest and neighboring mountains such as Thamserku, Kongde, Kusum Kanguru, and Nuptse stood high one after another.

It takes only an hour in max to reach there from Namche Bazar. The Hotel Everest View is the world Highest Placed Star hotel and a gunnies world record holder for that as well. Take a cup of tea or coffee and sit in front of the almighty Mt. Everest! This is what we call the glories of Everest Trekking.

We also explore the capital city of the Khumbu Region- the Namche Bazar. This is the largest market and settlement in the entire Khumbu region and the biggest shopping hub for Everest Travelers and trekkers.

The segment of trekking from Namche to Tengboche is one of the best parts of Everest Trekking and the most scenic as well. The numerous mountain vistas, landscapes, and glimpses of the Himalayan range are so mesmerizing.

Throughout the whole day, we have very great mountain views and landscapes spreading around the Khumbu Region.

After having breakfast at Namche Bazar, we continue our hiking. We cross the small Sherpa Villages, Stupas and Monasteries, Chortens, Mani walls, and Prayer Flags tied over the routes, and pass out the rhododendrons, pines, oaks, junipers, and many other alpine floras.

Remember it is one of the biggest National Parks in Nepal and we may have a chance to encounter some of the rare and endemic Himalayan wild animals.

Walking through the glacial of the River Dudh Koshi, we have great views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and many Others. Especially, the Ama Dablam is so iconic and majestic to admire during this segment of Everest Trekking.

The Very beginning of the day trek is very easy for around 1 and a half hours before descending to level the Imja Khola where we take our lunch. After a while, we again ascend the uphill route to approach the Tengboche where we spend a night.

Tengboche is another popular village in the Everest region and equally the best to explore the sherpa culture and history. The Tengboche Monastery is the most popular and one of the biggest monasteries in the entire Khumbu region and the center of the sherpa people faint and beliefs as well.

Another milestone! Another likely 800 meters of climbing and it’s time to acclimatize to the elevation and new atmosphere. Dingboche is one of the popular places in Everest trekking and memorable too as Tenzing Norge Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary step their first step for Everest Summit.

Here in Dingboche we spend a day for acclimatization and exploring the surrounding and nearby peaks.

We hike the nearby peak called Nangkartshang, 5,083m. it takes around 3 hours to reach the viewpoint. The Nangkartsang viewpoint offers an excellent aerial of the several peaks in the Everest ranges and the gigantic Lhotse, Nuptse, and other snowcapped peaks.

Especially, the iconic look of the Ama Dablam, the island peak, Imja valley, and Chukung valley make an incredibly picturesque scene. After the descent, we explore the Dingboche Village. Interact and connect with the locals.

From here the trekking trail becomes more tough and challenging compared to the previous segment. A thinner oxygen level means more tiredness and more energy consumption.

Passing the grazing lands, we join the uphill sloppy ascends and continue to walk through the ridge line, the shoulder of the Pheriche.

The environment here is different from the previous days and the terrain suddenly becomes wider open and wilder. We get a great picture of the Tawache, Cholatse, Lobuche, and iconic Ama Dablam on the way.

We take our lunch at the bank of slopy landscapes the Khumbu Glacier. Another 1hr of hiking brought us to the Sherpa memorial place namely Thukla pass, 4,800m. Several Stone-made memorials in the memories of the sherpa expeditors and climbers are built over here.

From here the gradual and even track brings us to Lobuche, the side of the Khumbu Glacier. The route will be rocky, and slippery due to melting snow during summer and snow-covered during autumn.

Reaching the Lobuche during the clear sky before sunset allows majestic shades of the evening. Taking dinner early, we get to bed early for perfect sleep for tomorrow’s early morning hike.

Then after, we take the uphill routes and go along the Khumbu Glacier until the Everest Base Camp. This part will be rocky and craggy. It takes about 3 hours to reach Gorek Shep where we take our meal and continue with glacier/ moraine to reach our much-awaited destination.

On the way, we have great views of the Khumbu Icefall and a glimpse of the tipping Everest. The clouds and fogs under the neath separate the snowcapped mountains from the lower alpine greeneries.

We meet the number of climbers attempting Everest and Lhotse Summit. About 3 hours of trekking along the glaciers brings us to the Everest Base Camp. We can see the numerous tent and camps for mountain climbers.

Everest Base Camp Trek is the Best.

I would be happy to write a review of my Everest Base Camp Trek experience with Travers Nepal. Firstly, I would like to say that Travers Nepal exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I landed in Kathmandu, I was warmly welcomed by their team, who made sure that all my needs were taken care of throughout the entire trek. Our guide, Tashi, was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and he made sure that we were safe and comfortable throughout the trek. He was always available to answer any questions we had and to provide us with interesting information about the local culture and the Himalayan mountains. The trek itself was absolutely stunning. The scenery was breathtaking, and I felt as though I was in another world as I hiked through the mountains. The trails were well-maintained and safe, and I never once felt uncomfortable or uncertain. The accommodations along the way were also fantastic. We stayed in comfortable teahouses that provided warm beds and hot meals, which were especially appreciated after a long day of hiking. I would highly recommend Travers Nepal to anyone who is looking for a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable trekking experience. Their team is top-notch, and they will go above and beyond to make sure that you have the trip of a lifetime. Thank you, Travers Nepal, for an incredible experience!
