What To Expect

The Everest Base Camp Trekking Route begins in Kathmandu, a city alive and full of energy. Next, it takes you through the Everest region before ending returning to Kathmandu. Starting with the short and scenic flight to Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, you trek through the trail marked with diversity. Trekking through unique villages including Nurning, Phakding, Benkar, Monjo, Jorsale and others. Along the way, you will find several monasteries, chortens and prayer wheels. You will cross suspension bridges clad with prayer flags. Observe the wildlife and scenery of Sagarmatha National Park. Trek along the torrential Dudh Koshi River (the Milky River) until you reach the buzzing Namche Bazaar. Namche is a true Himalayan town with interesting shops, fabulous food, stunning views, and culture. Namche Bazaar is also a traditional trading hub that paves your way further up to the ancient monasteries in Tengboche and Dingboche. After sufficient acclimatization at lower altitude, you head for the beautiful Gorak Shep and the iconic Kala Patthar for a surreal view of the Himalayas. Kala Patthar is famous for its breathtaking view of glittering peaks including the Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Pumori, Mt. Lhotse, and Mt. Changtse. Not only can you see the stunning mountains, but you will also be able to view the majestic Khumbu Glacier, the famed Khumbu Icefall, the glacial rivers, and avalanche paths. Returning back from the high Himalayas, you shall explore the authentic lifestyle of the Sherpa community and get insider insight of the rich cultural heritage of these legendary people.

From start to finish this Trek was a great experience. Buddhi and his team were excellent, communication was great and we were always taken care of. Dipak was an excellent guide and made the hiking portion of the trip very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend their services to complete this once in a lifetime trip.

Bhuddi had planned and organized a great trip for us, along with being a huge asset for any needs or information locally. We had an amazing trip with our guide Dipak who had everything planned out for us and was very informative of local/trail information. Dipak was good at helping us pace ourselves throughout the trek. Our porters were excellent and had everything in our rooms upon arrival each day. I would strongly recommend booking with them.

We packed a ton into our 2 weeks in Nepal and Himalaya Holiday made sure everything went smooth. From the tour around Kathmandu to the trek to Everest Base Camp, the experience was amazing. Our mountain guide Dipak was great and made sure we were well taken care of throughout the trek! The tea house accommodations were great and so was the food on the trek! Would highly recommend booking a trip with Himalaya Holiday!

My wife and I had an amazing experience trekking to EBC. Buddhi was very helpful in planning our trip and promptly answered all our questions. He was very attentive and professional throughout our stay in Nepal and constantly monitored our progress with our guide Dipak to make sure we were healthy and safe. Buddhi and his team have many years of experience operating in this region and great relationships with all the best tea house and air travel providers. We always had excellent accommodations along the route and our helicopter return flight on the last day was on time and very smooth. We highly recommend this service to all aspiring EBC trekkers.

This trek was a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience. The mountain scenery was breathtaking, the local culture was lovely to get to know, and the food was surprisingly good with plenty of options (some personal favorites: Tibetan bread and dal bhat). Buddhi was amazing at coordinating, patiently (and very promptly!) answering all our questions, and was very accommodating. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun and importantly, took great care of our safety and health throughout the trek. We’re also grateful for our porter who allowed us to travel light with only day packs. The entire team has many years of experience, which definitely made a huge difference in ensuring our trip was a success. We were initially worried about the risk of altitude sickness but this trek itinerary worked perfectly for acclimatization. Highly recommend!
Great trek, great group

Met Bodia and our guide, Dipak, the day before the trek started. Orirginal flight to Lukla was canceled due to weather. All the flights the next day were booked. Bodia was able to find a helicopter and another couple to split the cost with us. Dipak was a great guide. Extremely fun trekking with him. He was very knowledgeable, fun and pleasant to trek with. He knew what teahouse to book and we seemed to always have the best rooms. Supta was our porter. We spent some time with him every night. The trek was amazing but even more so with Dipak and Supta along. Bodia kept in contact with us throughout our trek. He and his company were great to work with. Even provided emergency evacuation when I needed it. Bodia met us at the ambulance and went to the hospital to make sure everything was okay. He went well out of his way to be sure I was taken care of. Can not say how much it was appreciated. Would definitely recommend the trek and would highly recommend this group of people. They all went well above what was expected of them

I just cant say enough positive words regarding Buddhi attention to detail, support to customer and personal attention. The communication, knowledge and relationship Buddhi provided with exceptional every step of the way: during reservation/pre travel, on arrival and during the trek adventure. We added city Kathmandu tour.. guide,driver was great. Weather (major flight cancelations to Lukla) and health threw in some real life changes and emergencies.. Buddhi was there every step to help us through it, provide exceptional options and support - I cant thank you enough! Our trek guide was Depak and Im so glad.. we had a good personality match. We were together for days… and he never skipped a beat. He made the trek ‘easy peasie lemon squeeze’! as he would say.. 😉 Depak’s knowledge of ‘Mountain 5 star’ teahouses really added to our fabulous adventure. Our porter was Supta and what a positive guy with a smile. Thank you for making my load/pack lighter.
