Our 14-day trek to Everest base camp is a great option for young travelers who want to experience the Himalayas up close. Hikers who are physically fit, in good health, and even enthusiasts that have little to no experience with high altitude hiking can sign up for this trip. This package is designed for young travelers aged between 18 and 35. If you’re a youth, travel with other people, mostly likeminded youths having a profound love for adventure and the environment.

During our trek, we can enjoy authentic Nepalese food as well the more common international cuisine (Tibetan, Continental, Italian, Indian, etc.). Breakfast and dinner will be served from the teahouse or from a lodge menu where we spend the night whereas you will need to have your lunch on your own on the way to the next destination. Breakfast and dinners will be provided during trekking while you will buy your own lunch. Likewise, only breakfast will be available in Kathmandu.
We will be staying in Hotel Encounter or similar in Kathmandu and teahouses during the trek. All accommodations are on twin-shared basis. Single supplement will be served on request and will cost an additional USD 225. Himalayan Glacier will arrange the most comfortable rooms with attached washrooms wherever available; however, teahouses in some places only have shared washing and toilet facilities. Also note that single rooms are readily available in Kathmandu and the trekking regions at lower elevation but it might be difficult to find them at higher elevations.

Everest base camp trek is a lodge-to-lodge trek. It is also known as a teahouse trek. It means that you will not be required to sleep in camping tents and most of the facilities like laundry, food, etc. are easily available throughout the trek. However, you need to carry some of the most essential items that you will personally require during the trek. As Everest base camp trek is considered quite challenging, we recommend packing only the necessary gears and required equipment. Make sure that you don’t over-pack, and at the same time don’t under-pack.
In order to enjoy the trip rather than worry about the weight of your load, you need to pack light only with the essentials. Read the complete Everest base camp trek packing list and pack smart and light for a more comfortable and a fulfilling trip to the base camp.
Nothing beats Everest base camp trek.. We fondly remember our trek with Himalayan Glacier just when traveling to Nepal had opened up shortly. Giri has been a perfect guide and a very good friend during the whole trip. We were given good food and nice places to stay at the most affordable cost. We and our all whole bunch like to thank the entire HG team. At the same time, we would want to recommend to all our graduating friends who wish to visit some time soon in future.
Show moreMe and my boyfriend just completed the Everest Base Camp trek one month back. We couldn’t stop ourselves from sharing our own experience to fellow trekkers and our dear friends. Rayuna in Kathmandu answered all our questions that we needed to know. Shanker was a fantastic guide. The teahouses in the mountains were comfortable indeed and we had very new varieties of food. We don’t think there could be any better company than Himalayan Glacier who were very accommodating and highly professional!
Show moreAbout two weeks of trekking in the Himalayas has changed our life, and also our perspective towards nature. Trekking from Lukla to Everest base camp and back was the best ever experience that we’ve had in our entire lives until now. It has literally changed our lives in the most unexpected ways. Himalayan Glacier was extremely adept in meeting all our needs and going beyond our expectations. They provided us with an extremely knowledgeable and an affectionate guide and his ever-smiling porter friend who carried our belongings. There is no room for complaint for any food or lodging issues, considering the geographical location. We surely would love to recommend our college friends and fellow trekkers to plan their trip with Himalayan Glacier to give a meaning to what a real trekking means. Thank you all at HG for the efforts you have put up in helping us plan.
