The Everest Base Camp trek is the perfect way to see the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas at their best – and to see Mount Everest in person.
Nepal is wedged between the Himalayas and the steamy jungles of the Indian plains. It is a land of snowy peaks, Sherpas, yaks, yetis (allegedly!), monasteries and mantras. Our Base Camp trek is the ultimate way to experience everything trekking in Nepal can offer the adventurous soul.

Book nowEver since Nepal first opened its borders to outsiders in the 1950s, this tiny mountain nation has had an irresistible mystical allure for travellers. Today, legions of trekkers are drawn to the Himalaya’s most iconic and accessible hiking, some of the world’s best, with rugged trails to Everest, the Annapurnas and beyond.
To trek the Himalayas is a truly unique experience. Nowhere else can you trek for days or even weeks in incredible mountain scenery, secure in the knowledge that a hot meal, cosy lodge and warm slice of apple pie await you at the end of the day. Nepal is nirvana for mountain lovers, and our Mount Everest Base Camp trek is your ‘stairway to heaven’.
Nepal is in South Asia, bordered by the People’s Republic of China and also the Republic of India. The sheer diversity that Nepal has to offer includes steamy jungle,high-altitude meadows and the icy peaks of the world’s highest mountains.
The world’s best climbs lie here. However, trekking, mountaineering and rafting in spectacular scenery are just three things Nepal is famous for. Activities such as elephant polo and micro-light flights through the mountains demonstrate that here, the only boundary is your imagination. With many wildlife parks, Nepal is one of the last places on earth you can spot the Asiatic rhinoceros and the Royal Bengal Tiger.
For many, though, Nepal’s greatest appeal is its people. The local traditions and famous hospitality are a major part of what makes Nepal so special. From remote mountain villages to medieval hill-towns and the ancient cities of the Kathmandu Valley, Nepalese culture is incredibly rich and varied. See it in the intricate architecture of Durbar Square, taste it in the unique flavours of Nepalese cuisine, prepared with love and a depth of flavour, or join in at one of the many festivals year-round.
The Everest Base Camp Trek
The Mount Everest Base Camp trek is nothing like heading to Southeast Asia with a backpack. It requires will power and planning – but it’s worth it! Trekking Everest Base Camp is the perfect way to see the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas at their best – and to see Everest in person.
No experience is needed for our Mount Everest Base Camp trek, but we recommend you practice and train well. You will require a reasonable amount of fitness and a strong will to succeed. Remember that you are walking between 4 and 8 hours a day, uphill to an altitude of 5300m. Training should involve long uphill walks (with a daypack) to accustom yourself to long-distance hiking.

The highlight of our Mount Everest Base Camp trek is bound to be that moment when you finally stand in the shadow of the world’s highest mountain and stare up in awe at its cloud-shrouded peak. However, you will see so many equally amazing things along this world-famous trail.
Let’s start at the beginning. The first thing you will want to do when you land in Nepal is to explore the vibrant capital city of Kathmandu. This is the launching pad for all of our Mount Everest Base Camp treks, and it’s a fascinating place to spend a couple of days before you head to the mountains. We include a city tour of Kathmandu in all of our Nepal trips, where you will be led around the highlights of the city with a local guide. During this fantastic tour, you will encounter the history of this tiny mountain nation through sites such as Patan Durbar Square, Swayambhunath “Monkey Temple”, Pashupatinath Hindu Temple and many more.
Next, you will fly to Lukla Airport to begin your trek. Over the next eight days, you will trek higher through the Himalayas on your way to Mount Everest Base Camp. You will cross famous mountain suspension bridges, pine forests, the much-loved Namche Bazaar, and ancient sites such as the beautiful Thyangboche Monastery. Higher still, you will trek around the Khumbu Glacier and, at last, reach Everest Base Camp.
After you reach the ‘summit’ of your Mount Everest Base Camp trek, you will continue down, with the option to climb Kala Pattar for one of the most breathtaking sunrise views in the world. On the way back down to Lukla, you have the opportunity to explore villages such as Pangboche and Monjo, before flying back to Kathmandu for a final couple of days to explore the bustling streets of Thamel.
On the first day, we depart from UK and fly to arrive in Kathmandu.
Today is a free day in Kathmandu. Explore the bustling streets of Thamel, head to a tea house, eat freshly-cooked momos or visit one of many Buddhist temples around the city at your leisure.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Today is another rest and acclimatization day at Dingboche.
We will take a short acclimatisation hike up to Chukung (4730m) to a few scattered stone huts that make up the settlement. Along the way, you can enjoy spectacular views of Ama Dablam and the impressive walls of the Nuptse ridge.
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.
Today we trek to Everest Base Camp.
Once we reach the base camp we turn around and head back to Gorak Shep for the evening.
For those who want to climb Kala Pattar this morning is the time to do it. With an early start you walk up the hill to Kala Pattar to see the sunrise. You then go back to the tea house for breakfast before making the trek back down the trail to Pangboche.
Trek from Pangboche to Khumjung (3790m).
Today we say good bye to our views of Everest, we take the short walk to Namche Bazaar where we will stop for lunch & cake and some last minute shopping! Once we have finished we will head on to Monjo for the night
Trek from Monjo to Lukla (2800m).
After an early breakfast at the lodge, we fly back to Kathmandu and transfer to the hotel.
Today is a free day to explore Kathmandu at your leisure.
Today we head to the airport for our return flights back to the UK.
Here’s what some of our awesome customers had to say:
“Faultless Everest Base Camp trek in March 2019. When you book a trip on your bucketlist its a once in a lifetime experience and you want to have the best experience ever.
With the Bucketlist Co. you come to realise that the careful planning and thought that goes into their trips ensures you get the experience you want. The whole trip ran without hiccups and everyone from guides to fellow travellers helped make this the trip it was.
Would not hesitate to recommend this company or book another trip with them in the future.”
“I’ve been on two trips now with the bucket List Company, first to Peru and second to Nepal, both magical experiences.
If you’re looking for an adventure holiday I can’t recommend The Bucket List Company enough, they’ll ensure you have everything you need and are prepared before you go on any of their trips, as Keith and his crew have a wealth of knowledge and experience in making sure their customers have an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.
I’m looking forward to more trips with them in the future!”
“When you book a Bucket List experience you want the company you book with to understand that for you this is once in a lifetime event and make it that little bit different. Having travelled with three other ‘group travel’ companies I can say that TBLC understand more than most that the little things matter. The pre travel part is stand out; from a welcome gift on booking, monthly installment options or the excellent training weekends you get an early impression you will be looked after and when on trip you certainly are. I recently returned from EBC and the organisation an execution of the trip was excellent, once travelling you don’t have to think about a thing
And the care and attention from both UK and local guides cannot be faulted. A couple of days I found the going very hard but I always had someone by my side for reassurance and encouragement which I have to say probably got me to Base Camp. I would have no hesitation
in recommending TBLC to others, they’re a first class company who helped me tick a biggie off that bucket list!”
“Could not have asked for a better trip . Everest base camp with TBLC was a most memorable epic adventure.”
I had the pleasure of travelling to Nepal with The Bucket List Company. From attending a training weekend in February right through to our final landing at Heathrow after our trip to base camp in October, everything was thought out and carried out in a non pressurised professional way. I would highly recommend this company to anybody.
“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!”
