The North Base Camp in Tibet and the South Base Camp in Nepal are the two base camps for Everest treks. The terminus of this fabled walk is the Nepalese camp in the Khumbu area, which is commonly referred to as Everest Base Camp in Nepal. It's hidden away at the end of a lengthy valley that splits at the Sherpa settlement of Dingboche and cuts into the Himalayas. Right outside the camp, the difficult Khumbu Icefall, the first challenge for anyone trying an Everest summit push, starts to ascend to the Western Cwm, the peaks of Lhotse and Nuptse, also known as the Valley of Silence.

If you are travelling from India or any other country, book your flight tickets for Day Minus One, which is two days before Day 1 on the itinerary. If your trek start day is 15 September, book your air tickets for 13 September to either Kathmandu on 14 September to Lukla.
This is the quickest way to reach Lukla. Take a flight to Kathmandu and then another flight to Lukla.
Lukla is a small town with an airstrip that drops off to the valley. There are daily flights in the morning from Kathmandu to Lukla. Flights into Lukla are highly weather-dependent. A cloud covering a mountain ridge can shut down the entire airport! This is why you must book the first flight out of Kathmandu and factor in buffer days in the itinerary.
Tip: If you are reaching Kathmandu early on Day Minus One, you can think of taking a flight on the same day as well. We have seen the notorious airport of Lukla where trekkers have missed flights for two straight days because of weather conditions. This will give you two buffer days in case there is any delay.
Reaching Lukla early will give time for your body to acclimatise better as well.
In case a flight from Kathmandu to Luka isn’t working out, your other option to Lukla will be to take a flight from Manthali airport, which is close to Ramechhap.
Take a regular shared cab or bus from Kathmandu to Ramechhap. The duration of the drive is between 5-7 hours. And these modes of transport are almost always available in trekking season.
Tip: The best way is to take a shared Cab from New Bus Park Kathmandu, which cost NPR 500, is much more comfortable than a bus and moves after every one hour.
Take this option if you are reaching out more than a week in advance to Kathmandu.
The trek starts from a small village called Jiri which is 7-8 hrs of bus journey from Kathmandu. It is an astounding distance of 56 km and can take anywhere between 4 days to 7 days to reach Lukla.
Again, do this only if you have a lot of time in hand and the required experience and fitness to be able to trek for 16 days after this.
The trek ends at Lukla on Day 17 including a buffer day.
For your return journey, you can again fly back from Lukla to Kathmandu. Or you could fly via Ramechhap.
Taking into account the buffer day: Booking your return tickets requires some thought. First, always book your return ticket keeping in mind the buffer day. The buffer day must be included in your itinerary. If your trek ends on Day 16 do not book your flight/bus tickets for Day 16. Instead, book for Day 17. Day 17 is your buffer day.
While booking hotels on your return, always assume book your rooms assuming the buffer day is not being used. Assume the trek is going to run without any hiccups. So what happens if you use your buffer day on the trek? Unfortunately, then you’ll probably lose your hotel booking.
So book hotels where you may not have to transfer money in advance. Even if you do, consider it better than missing out on the trek. In Kathmandu, it is not difficult to find last minute hotel bookings if in case the buffer day is used.
You'll want to make sure you have a good night's sleep when on a trek, and our eco campsites provide the comfort, warmth and privacy for a tranquil camping experience paired with superb mountain views.
The trekking season for Everest Base Camp runs from mid-September to May. October is traditionally the most popular time for this trek when the views are great and temperatures are not too extreme. But we also get many travellers enjoying the colder winter season (Dec/Jan) when numbers on the trail are lower, and skies are clearer for that Instagram-worthy photo. We always get a lot of interest in our treks over Christmas and New Year's, as it is an exciting way to spend the holiday season and minimises the days you need to use from your holiday allowance. If you trek during the winter season, you need to be prepared with suitable clothing for potentially low temperatures.
Our Everest Base Camp trek does not stay overnight at base camp. Instead, you stay at Gorak Shep, where you walk into base camp for a day trip. To sleep at base camp requires special permits, which are very expensive.
