Overview

Trip overview

A quick summary of the route, support level, and the main things travelers should know before booking.

✦

12 Days Everest Base Camp Deluxe Trek With Helicopter Ride is one of the best trekking in Nepal. Leaving the arrival and the departure day, we spent 12 days in the Khumbu region of Nepal. Taking trekkers all the way up to the base camp of Mt. Everest and the altitude of 5,545m (Kala Patthar), this trek allows trekkers to explore and enjoy the natural and cultural magnificence of the Khumbu region en route to the base camp of Everest. Apart from the views of some of the major towering peaks of the world including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Cho Oyu, trekkers also get a chance to explore the attractions of the Sagarmatha National Park. These attractions in the area are beautifully backed up by perfect culture, lifestyle and a sincere hospitality of the Sherpa people living in the region.

✦

This hike to the Base Camp of Everest begins with 35 minutes flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. From Lukla we walk up to the base camp and retrace the same path to Lukla to fly back to Kathmandu. Our 9 days Everest Base Camp Trekking package includes full board during the trek and bed and breakfast before and after the trek. Accommodation is arranged in local lodges and guest houses managed by local people that provide basic amenities, bed, breakfast and dinner. The lunch is ordered from a tea house menu. Both typical Nepali and western food are served during the trek. Trekkers can also enjoy a free map with this package. This 12 day package also ensures necessary acclimatization before ascending the height.

✦

Nevertheless, the packages offered by Amigo Treks and Expedition are fully customizable. All customized packages guarantee 100% departure date, and flat rates with special group discount. Though the difficulty level is comparatively high, any physically fit and mentally determined person can attempt this trek. Moreover, the best season to plan this trek is spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) for supportive weather, temperature, visibility and smooth trail.

✦

The trip starts with a 30-35 minute flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. From Lukla, up till the base camp is on foot. If you are looking to spend more splendid days in Nepal go for Everest Three high Passes Trek 19 days, or even Everest Base Camp Trek with Gokyo Lake and Chola Pass 18 days.

This trip is availabel everyday from 15th march - 20th may and 1st Oct-20th Dec with minimum 2 pax

Our Attempt to avoid Altitude Sickness

(“Climb High, Sleep Low” is the rule one needs to follow, in order to avoid altitude sickness. Therefore, apart from 2 days acclimatization, at Namche and Dingboche, to aid the acclimatization process, we hike a little higher than our overnight stop and get down for overnight rest.)

I spent 26 days in Nepal and almost every minute of it was planned/coordinated by Niti and Amigo. Of course, the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek was the big one and she set us up with our amazing guide Raj. This guy was amazing and he really did a super job taking care to make sure we were as safe and comfortable the entire way. I had friends who said you are wasting time with a guide but they must not have used a company like Amigo and a guide like Raj. I can't see how anyone would ever go without a guide or use another company. You could tell along the trek to EBC that Amigo was a very well respected name by the locals at each place we visited and this helped us have the very best experience.
