The Everest Base Camp Trek

Nepal is wedged between the Himalayas and the steamy jungles of the Indian plains. It is a land of snowy peaks, Sherpas, yaks, yetis, monasteries and mantras. Nepal first opened its borders to outsiders in the 1950s. This tiny mountain nation has been an allure for travellers ever since. The world’s best climbs lie here with trails to Everest and beyond.

Only in Nepal can you trek for days or weeks in mountain scenery, secure in the knowledge that a hot meal, cosy lodge and warm slice of apple pie await you. The sheer diversity that Nepal includes steamy jungle to the icy peaks of the world’s highest mountains. Trekking, mountaineering and rafting in spectacular scenery are just three things Nepal is famous for.

Our Everest Base Camp tours offer some of the most exquisite mountain views in the world, taking in all the sites from Nepalese mountain villages to waterfalls, to Buddhist temples, to suspension bridges and, of course, Mount Everest itself.

The Island Peak Trek

For the Nepalese, Island Peak is known as Imja Tse and the first Everest expedition party used it as a trial peak. The end of Chukung valley is where the peak is located and a high camp is set for climbers to go to the summit and return to base camp in one day. Because of its easy access, Island Peak has become a popular trek for enthusiastic climbers. Island peak climbing is used as an add on of trek to Khumbu. The walk combines the route to the base camp of Mt. Everest and Kalapattar.

Itinerary

Day

DAY 1: TRAVEL TO KATHMANDU

Kathmandu - Everest Base Camp and Island Peak trek

DAY 2: TREK FROM LUKLA TO PHAKDING

After flying to Lukla, we will start the trek, setting off for a gentle walk to Phakding, a further 3 hours to the North. The trail leads through Lukla, past hotels, shops on to the edge of the Lukla plateau where the trail drops to meet the intersection of the Jiri trail at Chablung.

From here the trail follows the Dudh Kosi north through the village of Ghat and then finally to Phakding for the overnight stay.

DAY 3: PHAKDING – NAMCHE BAZAAR (3440M)

The trail heads beside the Dudh Kosi and continues upstream along the banks to the confluence of the Bhote Kosi and Dudh Kosi. After crossing the large suspension bridge, the trail starts ascending through pine tree forests to reach the distinctive horse-shoe shaped bowl village of Namche Bazar where we will stop overnight.

DAY 4: REST DAY IN NAMCHE BAZAAR (3440M)

Today will be a rest day for acclimatization. Namache is famous for it’s market, so offers some brilliant opportunities to discover the local produce and culture.

If you rise early, those who go for a climb to the ridge above Namche will be rewarded with the stunning dawn and sunrise over the panorama of the Khumbu peaks.

DAY 5: TREK TO THYANGBOCHE (3867M)

Today we will steadily descend to the Imja river. We will then climb steadily for about 2 hours to Thyangboche Monastery, one of the most beautiful places in the world.

DAY 6: THYANGBOCHE – DINGBOCHE (4530M)

Today we will trek up the Imja river valley to Pangboche where we will be given the opportunity to visit the Monastery.

After lunch, the trek will take us through to the village of Dingboche.

DAY 7: REST DAY AT DINGBOCHE

Today is another rest and acclimatization day at Dingboche.

DAY 8: DINGBOCHE – LOBUCHE (4930M)

Today the aim is to trek around the base of the Khumbu glacier and have a light lunch at Dhugla, before a steep climb to Lobuche village.

DAY 9: LOBUCHE – KALA PATTHAR (5545M) – GORAKSHEP

Today we will climb to Kalapattar. The actual distance is not too far but we take the day very steady to compensate for the altitude. We stop at Gorakhshep for lunch before climbing to Kala Pathar.

We will then return to Gorakshep for our nights stay.

DAY 10: TREK TO EVEREST BASE CAMP (5360M) AND RETURN TO CHHUKUNG

A trek of approximately 2.5 hours of up and down glacial moraines extended from Khumbu icefall is an adventurous roller coaster trek to Everest Base Camp.

Once we have taken our time to take in the amazing atmosphere and surrounding views of EBC, we trek to reach Chhukung.

DAY 11: CLIMBING PRACTICE DAY AT CHHUKKUNG

At Chhukkung, we will spend the day going through climbing practice, learning the techniques you will need for your Island Peak summit attempt tomorrow.

DAY 12: CHHUKUNG TO HIGH CAMP

From Chhukung we will follow the trail that skirts around the base of Island Peak.

The main camp is made at a spot known as Pareshaya Gyab at 5087m. After lunch we will continue the trek to our High Camp for a further hour or so.

DAY 13: ISLAND PEAK SUMMIT DAY

We will set off early today for the summit at about 3am. From here, the trail leads up the glacier until a broad snow basin which leads to the final part of the climb. We will use fixed rope for approximately 100m to access the ridge, climbing up a steep snow and ice slope. The ridge very quickly leads up to the east up to the main summit at 6189m.

Once we have taken in the fantastic views, we will return to Base Camp.

DAY 14: ISLAND PEAK BASE CAMP TO DINGBOCHE

Today we take the trail that leads back down to the Imja Valley, firstly to Chhukung and on to Dingboche for the overnight stay.

DAY 15: DINGBOCHE TO NAMCHE BAZAAR

From Dingboche the trail heads down the main Everest trail, before reaching the Tengboche Monastery.

Once we have visited the Monastery, we will continue on the Namache Bazaar.

DAY 16: NAMCHE BAZAAR TO LUKLA

The trail starts by descending steeply out of Namache and back across the suspension bridge.

We will lunch in Phakding before arriving back in Lukla by mid-afternoon.

DAY 17: LUKLA TO KATHMANDU

Today we fly back to Kathmandu and transfer to the hotel.

DAY 18-19

On these days, we have free time in Kathmandu. The days can also be used as summit day buffers in case the conditions are unsuitable on the first attempt day.

Take your time to explore the vibrant streets of Thamel, taste some delicious momos and visit the temples in the city.

DAY 20: DEPART FOR THE UK:

In the morning, we transfer to airport, depart Kathmandu and fly back to the UK.

What our Customers Say

Here’s what some of our awesome customers had to say:

“Great staff, very helpful throughout the whole process, they have a very good payment method which makes any trip affordable! Even to a student like myself!

The trip was very well organised, and any question was answered with confidence there and then, showing great knowledge of the country and trek we were doing.

The staff were also very motivating, I don’t think I would’ve made it to Base Camp if it weren’t for Keith helping me… All the guides were amazing, working throughout the day, and then in their breaks making sure we were all comfortable with food and drink (included in the price).

I do not have a bad word to say about the trip, and I will be booking another one with the Bucket List team in the close future!

P.S. ‘Rate Keith’s Jake’ 9.56/10. With .44 taken away for lack of beard.”

Dan Jones

Everest Base Camp

“Fantastic trip to Everest basecamp from start to finish. Can’t fault Keith and his team both English and Nepalese for the help and guidance they give throughout the tour. I’m already planning my next trip with the bucket list company. I would 100% recommend them not just for the trip itself but the knowledge and experience you get before, during and after.”

Thomas Michael Lodge

Everest Base Camp

“Signed up and hiked EBC in 2018. The trip was very well organised – staff, sherpas & porters were all excellent. I really did have the trip of a lifetime… so much so that I’ve signed up for a second trip back to Nepal through The Bucket List Company, this time to climb Mera Peak.

A big plus for me was having the option to pay off my balance in affordable monthly chunks – otherwise I couldn’t afford trips like this. I also liked having my own individual web portal/log-in where I could access all the details of my trip.”

Gary Creen

Everest Base Camp

“Just got back from the Everest Base Camp trek. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Would definitely recommend The Bucket List Company. Their UK leaders and local guides made sure that everyone was safe and well looked every day of the trip. I have been on two training weekends prior to departure, which were also very well organised and took place at great locations in Wales. Everyone at TBLC are super friendly and ready to answer your questions any time before, during or after the trip. Booking in advance and being able to spread the payments meant that I could afford the trip of my dreams despite being a uni student. No hidden costs, kit list received well in advanced so again it was easy to tick everything off it over a longer period of time.

Already booked two other trips. Huge thanks to the whole team, especially Keith (company owner) and Jake (best “not a tour guide” leader) for making our trip unforgettable! Can’t wait for the next adventure with the Bucket List Company!”

Andrea Kocsondi

Everest Base Camp

“Great adventure made even better by the team at the bucket list company. Nothing was too much and their calm heads when there were some challenges helped everybody have an amazing time. If you’re going to Base Camp, choose these guys as you are in safe and friendly hands.”

Martin

Everest Base Camp

“The trip was well organized and the crew running it who came out with us were brilliant. Would book another holiday with them for sure. Had an amazing time doing Everest base camp and meet some amazing people thanks to the crew loved it.”
