Challenge yourself to trek to the world’s most famous base camp! You’ll stay in traditional Sherpa villages and walk among the mountain gods. There are variations to the classic route that you can take, including flying home in a helicopter. Whichever route you choose, the terrain and high altitude make this a challenging trek that will test your resolve. But the rewards are immense, and we can't encourage you enough to head to Nepal to take on this incredibly beautiful adventure!

Our itineraries

Our three Everest Base Camp itineraries cater for trekkers with different time constraints and fitnesses. Our short itinerary lets you return from base camp via helicopter. This is our most popular itinerary, as it's not as demanding on the body and also gifts you incredible views of the Himalayas from the air. Our Gokyo Lakes itinerary offers a longer and incredibly beautiful circular route, while our Three Passes route is for the seasoned trekker who eats mountain passes for breakfast.

Airports

Nepal has one international airport: Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM).

Usually you fly from Kathmandu to Tenzing-Hillary Airport (LUA) in Lukla to start the Everest Base Camp trek, but the former's airport is undergoing renovations and so many domestic flights aren't operating right now.

This means you need to drive south to Ramechhap Airport (RHP) and fly to Lukla from there.
