Overview of Everest Base Camp Trek 

Trek through the legendary Khumbu Valley, stay in Sherpa mountain villages, cross suspension bridges, visit ancient monasteries, and stand at Everest Base Camp at 5,364 m / 17,598 ft.

Our 16-day Everest Base Camp Trek includes 2 nights in Kathmandu before the trek, 2 acclimatization days in the Everest region, the classic trek to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar, and 2 nights in Kathmandu after returning from the mountains.

The Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the world's classic high-altitude trekking journeys. This 16-day itinerary takes you from Kathmandu into the heart of the Khumbu Valley, following the traditional route through Lukla, Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche and Gorak Shep before reaching Everest Base Camp.

Along the way, you experience Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries, suspension bridges, Himalayan forests, glacial valleys and spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and other Himalayan peaks.

The trek reaches Everest Base Camp at approximately 5,364 m / 17,598 ft. You also climb Kala Patthar, approximately 5,545 m / 18,192 ft, for one of the most famous viewpoints of Mount Everest.

Why 16 days?

The 16-day itinerary is designed to give the Everest journey enough time rather than compressing everything into the shortest possible schedule.

You have:

  • 2 nights in Kathmandu before the trek

  • A full trek briefing and preparation day

  • 2 acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche

  • Time to reach Everest Base Camp without rushing the route

  • A sunrise hike to Kala Patthar

  • 2 nights in Kathmandu after returning from the mountains

  • A buffer between your Lukla flight and international departure

The additional Kathmandu nights are particularly useful for travelers arriving from long-haul destinations such as the USA, Canada, Australia and Europe.

The goal is not simply to reach Everest Base Camp. The goal is to experience the journey safely, comfortably and with enough time to enjoy it.

Why This 16-Day Itinerary Works for Long-Haul Travelers

Reaching Nepal from North America, Australia, Europe and other international destinations often involves long flights, airport connections and significant time-zone changes.

Beginning a demanding high-altitude trek immediately after arriving in Kathmandu can leave you tired and underprepared. For this reason, our 16-day Everest Base Camp itinerary includes additional time in Kathmandu before and after the mountain journey.

Two Nights in Kathmandu Before the Trek

After arriving in Nepal, you will have time to:

  • Recover from your international journey.
  • Begin adjusting to Nepal’s time zone.
  • Meet your guide and trekking team.
  • Attend a detailed pre-trek briefing.
  • Check your clothing and equipment.
  • Rent or purchase any missing trekking gear.
  • Repack your luggage for the Lukla flight.
  • Rest before entering the high-altitude environment.

Your Everest Base Camp journey should begin when you feel prepared—not while you are still exhausted from international travel.

Two Nights in Kathmandu After the Trek

After flying back from Lukla, the itinerary provides time to:

  • Rest and recover after the trek.
  • Enjoy a comfortable hotel and hot shower.
  • Organize your luggage.
  • Explore Kathmandu at a relaxed pace.
  • Enjoy a farewell Nepali dinner.
  • Prepare for your international journey home.
  • Maintain some flexibility around possible Lukla flight disruptions.

Flights to and from Lukla depend on mountain weather and aviation conditions. Although the Kathmandu nights provide a useful buffer, we still recommend adding at least one extra flexible day in Nepal if you have a non-changeable international flight.

Suitable for Travelers from Around the World

This itinerary is especially convenient for travelers arriving from the United States and Canada, but the same benefits apply to guests travelling from Australia, New Zealand, Europe and other long-haul destinations.

The purpose of the additional Kathmandu time is simple: to help you arrive, prepare, complete the trek and travel home without unnecessary rushing.

Altitude: 1,300–1,400 m / 4,265–4,593 ft
Accommodation: Kathmandu hotel
Meals: None
Walking: No trekking

Welcome to Nepal.

Our airport representative will meet you at Tribhuvan International Airport and transfer you to your hotel in Kathmandu.

After your international journey, the day is intentionally relaxed. You can rest at the hotel, recover from your flight and begin adjusting to Nepal time.

If you arrive with enough energy, you can take a gentle walk around the surrounding area. Otherwise, enjoy a quiet evening and prepare for the adventure ahead.

Overnight in Kathmandu.

  • Accommodation 3 Star Hotel
  • MealsNone
  • Maximum AltitudeApprox. 1,300–1,400 m / 4,265–4,593 ft

Meet your guide for a detailed briefing about the route, altitude, accommodation, meals, safety procedures and Lukla flight arrangements.

We will check your trekking equipment and help you rent or purchase any missing items. The remainder of the day is available for rest or relaxed exploration in Kathmandu.

Jet Lag Tips for Travelers from the USA & Canada

North American travelers should begin thinking about jet lag before leaving home.

The CDC recommends gradually shifting sleep toward the destination time before travel and following the destination's sleep/wake schedule after arrival. Staying hydrated, avoiding excessive alcohol, using daylight appropriately and keeping daytime naps short can also help.

Our recommendation

Don't try to "fight" jet lag with an intense sightseeing schedule.

Instead:

Sleep → hydrate → eat normally → get daylight → walk gently → adjust to Nepal time.

Your Everest adventure begins after your body has had time to recover.

  • Accommodation 3 Star Hotel
  • MealsBreakfast
  • Maximum AltitudeApprox. 1,300–1,400 m / 4,265–4,593 ft

Approx. walking distance:7–8 km / 4.3–5.0 miles

Phakding altitude: 2,610–2,650 m / 8,563–8,694 ft
Overnight: Phakding teahouse/lodge

Your Himalayan adventure begins today.

After your flight toward Lukla, you land at one of the gateways to the Everest region.

Depending on current flight operations, season and airline arrangements, flights may operate from Kathmandu or via Ramechhap/Manthali with road transportation from Kathmandu.

After meeting your trekking support team in Lukla, you begin walking through the Everest region.

The trail follows the Dudh Koshi valley through small Sherpa settlements, suspension bridges and beautiful mountain scenery.

Today's walk is relatively short, giving your body an opportunity to transition from international travel to Himalayan trekking.

You eventually arrive at Phakding, where you spend your first night on the trail.

Today's trekking profile

Distance: ~7–8 km / 4.3–5.0 mi
Duration: ~3–4 hours
Terrain: Village trails, stone paths, suspension bridges and gradual ups and downs

Namche Bazaar: 3,440 m / 11,286 ft
Overnight: Namche Bazaar teahouse/lodge

Today you enter deeper into the Everest region.

The trail follows the Dudh Koshi River through pine and rhododendron forests. Along the way, you cross suspension bridges and pass traditional Sherpa settlements.

You eventually enter Sagarmatha National Park.

The final section toward Namche involves a substantial uphill climb.

Then, after the forested trail and steep ascent, Namche Bazaar appears ahead.

Namche is the principal trading and cultural center of the Khumbu region and one of the most important acclimatization points on the Everest Base Camp route.

Today's trekking profile

Distance: ~10–12 km / 6.2–7.5 mi
Walking: ~5–6 hours
Destination altitude: 3,440 m / 11,286 ft
Main challenge: Significant uphill sections and increasing altitude

The objective today is not speed.

Walk slowly, maintain a comfortable rhythm and listen to your guide and your body.

  • Accommodation Tea House Lodge
  • MealsBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  • Maximum Altitude3,440 m / 11,286 ft

Sleeping altitude: 3,440 m / 11,286 ft
Optional walking: approximately 3–5 km / 1.9–3.1 miles*
Overnight: Namche Bazaar teahouse/lodge

Today is an important acclimatization day.

It is not necessarily a complete day of doing nothing.

A typical acclimatization strategy involves sleeping at the same altitude while taking a controlled hike to a higher elevation before returning to Namche.

Depending on weather, trail conditions and your condition, your guide may take you toward the Everest View Hotel and nearby Sherpa villages.

You can enjoy views of the Himalayan peaks while allowing your body additional time to adjust.

Remember: climb high, sleep lower

The purpose of today's activity is not to test how far you can walk.

It is to help your body adapt gradually to increasing elevation.

Your guide will determine the appropriate activity based on the group and conditions.

  • MealsBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  • Maximum Altitude3,440 m / 11,286 ft

Approx. walking distance:9–11 km / 5.6–6.8 miles
Walking time:5–6 hours
Namche: 3,440 m / 11,286 ft
Tengboche: 3,860 m / 12,664 ft
Overnight: Tengboche teahouse/lodge

Leaving Namche behind, the trail follows the hillside above the Dudh Koshi valley.

This section is famous for spectacular Himalayan scenery.

Depending on weather and visibility, you may see peaks including:

  • Mount Everest
  • Lhotse
  • Ama Dablam
  • Thamserku

The trail eventually descends toward the river before climbing again toward Tengboche.

Tengboche is home to one of the best-known Buddhist monasteries in the Everest region.

The combination of Himalayan peaks, mountain landscape and Buddhist culture makes this one of the memorable sections of the journey.

  • Accommodation Tea House Lodge
  • MealsBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Approx. walking distance:10–12 km / 6.2–7.5 miles

Dingboche: 4,300–4,400 m / 14,108–14,436 ft
Overnight: Dingboche teahouse/lodge

Today the landscape begins to change dramatically.

As you climb higher, the trees gradually become less dense and the environment becomes increasingly alpine.

The trail passes through Pangboche and continues toward the Imja Valley.

Stone-walled fields, high mountain slopes and views of Ama Dablam accompany you along the route.

Eventually you reach Dingboche.

At approximately 4,300–4,400 meters, altitude becomes an increasingly important part of the trek.

That's why another acclimatization day is built into your itinerary.

Walk slowly, drink regularly and communicate with your guide if you feel unwell.

  • Accommodation Tea House Lodge
  • MealsBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  • Maximum Altitude4,400 m / 14,436 ft

Sleeping altitude: 4,300–4,400 m / 14,108–14,436 ft
Optional walking: approximately 3–6 km / 1.9–3.7 miles*
Overnight: Dingboche teahouse/lodge

Another important acclimatization day.

You are now at more than 4,300 meters above sea level, so allowing your body additional time to adapt is important.

Depending on your condition, weather and guide's assessment, you may take a gradual hike toward a nearby viewpoint before returning to Dingboche.

The exact activity should be determined according to conditions rather than treating the day as a race or fixed-distance hike.

Altitude awareness

At this elevation, you may notice:

  • Shortness of breath during uphill walking
  • Reduced walking speed
  • Changes in sleep
  • Reduced appetite
  • Headache or fatigue

Some symptoms can be associated with altitude illness, so they should not simply be dismissed as normal trekking fatigue.

Tell your guide if you feel unwell.

Lobuche: approximately 4,900 m / 16,076 ft
Overnight: Lobuche teahouse/lodge

The trail continues into increasingly rugged and high-altitude terrain.

You move toward the Khumbu Glacier and eventually reach Lobuche.

The landscape becomes stark and dramatic.

At approximately 4,900 meters, the air is significantly thinner than at sea level, and temperatures—particularly at night—can be very cold.

From this point onward, maintaining a slow and steady pace becomes increasingly important.

This is a demanding day primarily because of the altitude, not simply because of the distance.

  • Accommodation Tea House Lodge
  • MealsBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Gorak Shep: approximately 5,160 m / 16,929 ft
Everest Base Camp: approximately 5,364 m / 17,598 ft
Overnight: Gorak Shep teahouse/lodge

Today you reach Everest Base Camp.

This is one of the defining days of your entire Himalayan journey.

From Lobuche, the trail continues toward Gorak Shep through the high Himalayan landscape.

After reaching Gorak Shep, you take a short break before continuing toward Everest Base Camp.

The trail follows the Khumbu Glacier toward the famous Everest Base Camp area.

Finally, you arrive.

Everest Base Camp

Approximate elevation: 5,364 m / 17,598 ft

Standing at Everest Base Camp is the culmination of the trek.

This is the area where many Everest expeditions establish their base during climbing seasons.

After spending appropriate time at Base Camp, you return to Gorak Shep for the night.

At this altitude, your walking speed will naturally be much slower than it is at lower elevations.

Pheriche: approximately 4,240 m / 13,911 ft
Overnight: Pheriche teahouse/lodge

Today begins early.

You climb toward Kala Patthar for sunrise.

At approximately 5,545 m / 18,192 ft, Kala Patthar is higher than Everest Base Camp and is one of the classic viewpoints in the Everest region.

Weather permitting, the viewpoint provides an exceptional panorama of Mount Everest and the surrounding Himalayan peaks.

After descending to Gorak Shep, you continue toward Pheriche.

The descent to lower altitude is welcome after spending time above 5,000 meters.

Namche: approximately 3,440 m / 11,286 ft
Overnight: Namche Bazaar teahouse/lodge

Today brings a significant loss of altitude.

The trail follows the familiar Everest route back through the Khumbu landscape.

As you descend, the air becomes noticeably thicker and vegetation gradually returns.

After several days at extreme elevation, arriving back in Namche feels very different.

You can enjoy a more relaxed evening in this lively mountain town.

Lukla: 2,840–2,860 m / 9,318–9,383 ft
Overnight: Lukla teahouse/lodge

Your final trekking day.

The trail follows the route back toward Lukla.

You cross suspension bridges, pass through Sherpa villages and follow the Dudh Koshi valley toward the gateway town.

Although you are descending, today's distance can make it a long trekking day.

Eventually, you arrive back in Lukla.

This is your final evening in the Everest region, and you can celebrate the completion of your trek with your guide and trekking team.

  • Accommodation Tea House
  • MealsBreakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Maximum Altitude2,860 m /9,383 ft

Walking: No scheduled trekking

Kathmandu: approximately 1,300–1,400 m / 4,265–4,593 ft
Overnight: Kathmandu hotel

After breakfast, you take your flight from Lukla.

Depending on current airline schedules, seasonal operations and weather, the flight may operate directly to Kathmandu or through Ramechhap/Manthali, followed by road transportation to Kathmandu.

Once back in Kathmandu, check into your hotel and enjoy a well-earned shower and comfortable evening.

Why we don't recommend flying home today

We strongly recommend keeping your international departure separate from your Lukla flight.

Mountain flights can be affected by weather and operating conditions.

Having a buffer between your mountain flight and international departure provides additional protection against unexpected delays.

You don't want a delayed Lukla flight to become a missed international flight.

  • Accommodation 3 Star Hotel
  • MealsBreakfast
  • Maximum Altitude1,400 m / 4,593 ft

Walking: No scheduled trekking
Overnight: Kathmandu hotel

Today is yours.

After days of trekking at high altitude, take it easy.

You can:

  • Sleep in
  • Enjoy a leisurely breakfast
  • Visit Thamel
  • Shop for souvenirs
  • Visit Boudhanath
  • Explore Kathmandu Durbar Square
  • Enjoy a massage
  • Organize your photographs
  • Meet your guide for a farewell meal
  • Prepare for your international flight

Or simply relax at your hotel.

Why this extra Kathmandu night matters

For travelers returning to North America, this additional night provides valuable breathing room after the trek.

Instead of finishing the Everest trek, flying to Kathmandu and immediately beginning another long international journey, you have time to:

Rest → shower → recover → organize luggage → enjoy Kathmandu → prepare for your flight home.

This makes the 16-day itinerary different from a shorter Everest Base Camp itinerary that compresses the Kathmandu stay.

  • Accommodation 3 Star Hotel
  • MealsBreakfast, Nepali Cultural Dinner
  • Maximum Altitude1,400 m / 4,593 ft

Our representative will assist with your airport transfer according to your international flight schedule.

As you leave Nepal, you take home memories of:

  • Mount Everest
  • Everest Base Camp

  • Sherpa villages
  • Buddhist monasteries
  • Suspension bridges
  • The Khumbu Glacier

Everest Base Camp Trek 16 Days – Itinerary, Cost and Guide 2027 Route Map

Everest Base Camp Trek 16 Days – Itinerary, Cost and Guide 2027 Route Map

Useful Info

How Difficult Is the Everest Base Camp Trek?

The Everest Base Camp Trek is a challenging high-altitude trek.

You do not need technical climbing or mountaineering skills for the standard trekking route, and previous Himalayan trekking experience is not essential.

However, you should be prepared for:

  • Several consecutive days of walking

  • 5–8 hours of walking on many trekking days

  • Steep ascents and descents

  • Uneven rocky trails

  • Stone steps

  • Suspension bridges

  • Cold temperatures

  • High altitude

  • Reduced oxygen availability

  • Basic mountain accommodation

The highest point of the itinerary is approximately 5,545 m / 18,192 ft at Kala Patthar.

Fitness helps, but fitness alone does not prevent altitude illness.

Your guide will monitor your pace and general condition throughout the trek. If you feel unwell, tell your guide immediately.

Safety takes priority over reaching a particular destination on a particular day.

Is This Itinerary Suitable for Travelers from Canada and the USA?

Yes. The 16-day itinerary is particularly convenient for Canadian and American travelers because journeys to Nepal normally involve long international flights, one or more connections and a significant time-zone difference.

The two nights in Kathmandu before the trek provide time to recover, meet your guide and prepare your equipment. The two nights after the trek provide recovery time and some flexibility before your international departure.

Travelers should still consider keeping an additional flexible day in Nepal because Lukla flights can be affected by mountain weather.

Should I Add an Extra Day Before Flying Home?

Yes, especially if your international flight is expensive or cannot be changed.

The itinerary already includes two nights in Kathmandu after the trekking portion. However, severe weather can occasionally cause longer Lukla flight delays.

An additional flexible day provides greater protection against missing your international flight and allows you to finish the journey without unnecessary pressure.

Jet Lag Before Everest Base Camp

Give Your Body Time to Adjust

Jet lag is a real consideration when traveling from North America to Nepal.

Your body may still be operating on your home time zone when you arrive in Kathmandu.

You may experience:

  • Tiredness
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Waking during the night
  • Daytime sleepiness
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Changes in appetite
  • General fatigue

Every traveler reacts differently.

We recommend:

Before leaving home:

  • Get enough sleep before your flight.
  • Prepare your body for the time-zone change if practical.
  • Avoid starting your journey already exhausted.

During the flight:

  • Drink water regularly.
  • Move around periodically when safe.
  • Try to sleep according to Nepal time when practical.
  • Avoid excessive alcohol.

After arriving in Kathmandu:

  • Get daylight.
  • Drink water.
  • Eat normally.
  • Rest.
  • Establish a local sleep schedule.
  • Don't overload your first day with activities.

Your first priority is to recover from the journey.

Altitude, Acclimatization and Safety

Altitude is one of the most important considerations on the Everest Base Camp Trek.

Our itinerary includes two acclimatization days:

Namche Bazaar – approximately 3,440 m

Dingboche – approximately 4,300–4,400 m

During acclimatization days, you may take a gradual hike to a higher elevation before returning to the same village to sleep.

During the trek

Your guide will encourage you to:

  • Walk at a steady pace

  • Stay hydrated

  • Eat regularly

  • Take appropriate rest

  • Communicate any symptoms

  • Follow the planned acclimatization schedule

If you become unwell

Altitude-related symptoms should not be ignored.

Depending on the severity of symptoms, your guide may recommend rest, stopping the ascent or descending to a lower elevation.

In serious situations, emergency evacuation may be required.

For this reason, we strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance that specifically covers high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation.

Your insurance should be arranged before leaving for Nepal.

Lukla Flights – What You Should Know

Flights between Kathmandu/Ramechhap and Lukla are weather dependent.

Mountain weather can change quickly, particularly around Lukla, and flights may occasionally be delayed, rescheduled or cancelled.

During busy trekking seasons, flights may operate through Ramechhap/Manthali rather than directly from Kathmandu.

Our team monitors flight operations and assists with the logistics required for your journey.

What should you do?

We recommend:

  • Keeping some flexibility in your overall Nepal itinerary

  • Having travel insurance that covers delays and emergency situations

  • Avoiding a same-day connection between your Lukla flight and international flight

  • Following the advice of your trekking team

  • Allowing additional time whenever your international schedule permits

Our 16-day itinerary includes two nights in Kathmandu after returning from the Everest region, giving you additional breathing room before your international departure.

 

Best Time for Everest Base Camp Trek

The main trekking seasons are spring and autumn.

Spring: March to May

Spring generally offers good trekking conditions, increasingly warm temperatures and excellent opportunities for mountain views. The lower valleys can also be colorful with rhododendron flowers.

Autumn: September to November

Autumn is one of the most popular periods for Everest Base Camp trekking, with generally favorable conditions and good mountain visibility.

Winter: December to February

Winter trekking is possible, but temperatures can be very cold at higher elevations and snow can affect trails and accommodation.

Monsoon: June to August

Monsoon brings rain and cloud to much of Nepal. Conditions can affect trekking trails and flights.

The best dates depend on your priorities, flexibility and tolerance for cold, crowds and changing weather.

Our team can help you choose dates based on your travel plans.

What Should I Budget for Personal Expenses?

Your main trekking costs are covered by the package, but you should carry additional money for personal expenses.

Typical personal expenses may include:

  • Drinks and bottled water

  • Snacks

  • Wi-Fi

  • Charging

  • Hot showers

  • Souvenirs

  • Personal purchases

  • Tips for your trekking team

The exact amount you need depends on your spending habits and whether you purchase additional services during the trek.

We recommend carrying some Nepalese rupees as well as having access to additional funds in Kathmandu.

Who Is the 16-Day Everest Base Camp Trek For?

This trek is suitable for travelers who:

  • Want to experience Everest Base Camp

  • Are comfortable with several hours of walking per day

  • Want dedicated acclimatization days

  • Prefer a complete Kathmandu-to-Kathmandu itinerary

  • Are traveling from North America or another long-haul destination

  • Want local guide and logistical support

  • Have enough time to avoid rushing the Everest experience

Is previous trekking experience required?

No.

Previous Himalayan trekking experience is helpful but not essential.

You should, however, prepare physically for consecutive days of walking at altitude.

Training for Everest Base Camp

Begin consistent training at least 8–12 weeks before your departure.

The objective is not speed. You are preparing your body to walk steadily for several hours on consecutive days while recovering overnight.

Your preparation should include:

  • Regular cardiovascular exercise.
  • One longer weekly hike, ideally lasting five to seven hours.
  • Uphill and downhill walking.
  • Stair climbing or incline-treadmill sessions.
  • Step-ups, squats and lunges.
  • Core-strengthening exercises.
  • Back-to-back walking or hiking days.
  • Training in your trekking boots.
  • Carrying the daypack you will use in Nepal.
  • Gradual increases in training volume.
  • At least one recovery day each week.

You do not need to be an athlete, but arriving well-prepared will make the trek safer and more enjoyable.

Why Trek Everest Base Camp with Scenic Nepal Treks?

Nepal-based from beginning to end

Scenic Nepal Treks & Expedition is a Nepal-based trekking company operating from Kathmandu. Our team handles your trip locally, from airport pickup and trek preparation to mountain logistics and your return to Kathmandu.

Experienced local trekking team

Our guides and porters have extensive experience working in Nepal's Himalayan trekking regions. Your guide is responsible for managing the daily trekking pace, monitoring your condition and helping you understand the route and altitude.

Acclimatization is part of the itinerary

The itinerary includes dedicated acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche. These are important stages of the journey because altitude increases progressively as you move toward Everest Base Camp.

Local support when plans change

Mountain travel does not always follow a fixed timetable. Weather can affect Lukla flights, and conditions in the mountains can require changes to the daily plan.

Our Kathmandu-based team remains available to coordinate logistics and communicate with you if circumstances change.

We don't treat Everest Base Camp as a race

The objective is not to arrive at Base Camp as quickly as possible.

We encourage a steady pace, appropriate rest and communication with your guide throughout the trek.

If weather, altitude, health or trail conditions require a change of plan, safety takes priority.

Support before and after the trek

Your relationship with our team does not start when you reach Lukla and end when you leave the mountains.

We assist with:

  • Airport pickup

  • Hotel arrangements

  • Trek briefing

  • Equipment preparation

  • Flight coordination

  • Trekking permits

  • Mountain logistics

  • Emergency coordination

  • Return to Kathmandu

  • Airport transfer for your international departure

Ready to Trek to Everest Base Camp?

Your journey to Everest begins long before you reach the mountains.

From your arrival in Kathmandu to the final day of your trek, our Nepal-based team will help organize the logistics, prepare you for the mountains and support you throughout the journey.

FAQs

Q1. Is this the same as Scenic Nepal Treks' 14-day Everest Base Camp Trek?

No. This is a separate 16-day Everest Base Camp Trek package.

Our 14-day Everest Base Camp Trek remains a separate itinerary and booking option. This 16-day package has been designed with additional time in Kathmandu before and after the Everest Base Camp trek.

The 16-day itinerary includes:

  • 2 nights in Kathmandu before the trek
  • Trekking in the Everest region
  • 2 nights in Kathmandu after returning from the Everest region
  • Departure from Nepal on Day 16

The additional Kathmandu time is particularly useful for travelers arriving in Nepal after a long international journey.

The 16-day itinerary provides more time around the main trekking experience.

You have two nights in Kathmandu before the trek, giving you time to recover from international travel, manage jet lag, attend the trek briefing and prepare your equipment.

You also have two nights in Kathmandu after returning from the Everest region. This provides recovery time and an additional buffer before your international departure.

For travelers coming from the USA, Canada and other long-haul destinations, this structure can make the overall Nepal journey easier to manage.

Yes.

Scenic Nepal Treks welcomes travelers from the United States for the Everest Base Camp Trek.

We recommend allowing sufficient time for international flights, airport connections, immigration procedures, jet lag and recovery after arrival in Nepal. This is one reason the 16-day itinerary includes two nights in Kathmandu before the trek

Yes.

Canadian travelers are welcome to join this Everest Base Camp Trek.

Because traveling from Canada to Nepal can involve long international flights and connections, we recommend using the first two Kathmandu nights to recover from travel, adjust to Nepal time and prepare for the trek.

The Everest Base Camp Trek is a challenging high-altitude trek. You do not need to be an experienced mountaineer, but you should be physically prepared for several consecutive days of walking on uneven mountain terrain.

The main challenges are:

  • High altitude and lower oxygen levels
  • Long walking days
  • Uphill and downhill sections
  • Rocky and uneven trails
  • Cold temperatures, particularly at higher elevations
  • Consecutive days of physical activity
  • Possible changes in weather and mountain conditions

Previous trekking experience is helpful but not essential. Regular walking, hiking, cardiovascular exercise and leg-strength training before your trip can help you prepare.

Everest Base Camp is approximately:

5,364 m / 17,598 ft above sea level.

If your itinerary includes Kala Patthar, you will climb even higher. Kala Patthar is approximately:

5,545 m / 18,192 ft.

Kala Patthar is one of the main viewpoints on the Everest Base Camp route and is higher than Everest Base Camp itself. Nepal Tourism Board also identifies Kala Patthar at approximately 5,545 m and recommends allowing time for acclimatization because of the altitude.

No, previous trekking experience is not required.

Many people complete the Everest Base Camp Trek without previous Himalayan trekking experience.

However, you should be comfortable walking for several hours on consecutive days and be prepared for significant elevation gain.

The most important preparation is generally:

  • Building walking endurance
  • Improving cardiovascular fitness
  • Strengthening your legs
  • Practicing walking uphill and downhill
  • Using your trekking boots before the trip
  • Preparing mentally for several days in a mountain environment

Your guide will help manage the pace and daily trekking schedule during the organized trek.

Altitude sickness can occur when your body does not adjust properly to high altitude.

Symptoms can include:

  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Shortness of breath

The risk increases as you ascend, so gradual acclimatization is important.

A good Everest Base Camp itinerary should include acclimatization time rather than continuously gaining altitude every day. Scenic Nepal Treks' 16-day itinerary includes acclimatization stops in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche.

During the trek, follow your guide's advice regarding:

  • Walking pace
  • Rest
  • Hydration
  • Altitude gain
  • Acclimatization
  • Descending if symptoms become serious

If serious altitude-related symptoms develop, descending to a lower elevation may be necessary. No trekking itinerary can completely eliminate altitude-related risk.

The number of days depends on the itinerary you choose.

For the Scenic Nepal Treks 16-day Everest Base Camp package, the trip is 16 days from arrival in Kathmandu to departure from Nepal.

It includes:

  • 2 nights in Kathmandu before the trek
  • Everest Base Camp trekking
  • Acclimatization in the Everest region
  • 2 nights in Kathmandu after returning from the trek
  • Departure from Nepal on Day 16

The 16-day package is separate from Scenic Nepal Treks' existing 14-day Everest Base Camp itinerary.

The additional Kathmandu time is particularly useful for international travelers who need time to recover from long-haul travel and adjust to Nepal time.

The most popular trekking periods are generally:

Spring: March–May

Autumn: September–November

These periods are popular because they generally offer favorable trekking conditions and good opportunities for mountain views.

Winter can bring very cold temperatures and snow at higher elevations, while the monsoon period can bring rain, cloud and more challenging conditions.

Nepal Tourism Board describes the Everest region as a high-altitude environment with colder conditions and notes October–November and March–May among the favorable periods for visiting the region.

Weather in the Himalayas can change quickly, however, so no season guarantees perfect conditions.

For the Scenic Nepal Treks 16-day package, round-trip Kathmandu–Lukla airfare is included according to the package inclusion list.

However, Lukla flights are subject to weather and operational conditions.

Flights can sometimes be delayed or cancelled because of mountain weather, visibility or operational issues.

If this happens, Scenic Nepal Treks will assist with available arrangements according to the circumstances and applicable booking conditions.

Travelers should therefore avoid booking an international flight immediately after the expected return from the Everest region without allowing an appropriate buffer.

The 16-day itinerary includes two nights in Kathmandu after the trek, which provides additional time before the international departure.

Do I need a visa to enter Nepal for the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Most foreign travelers need a Nepal tourist visa unless they qualify for an applicable exemption.

The Nepal Department of Immigration currently lists standard tourist visa fees as:

  • 15 days – USD 30
  • 30 days – USD 50
  • 90 days – USD 125

The visa is multiple-entry under the standard tourist visa categories listed by the Department of Immigration.

Your passport should have at least six months' validity when traveling to Nepal.

Visa requirements can change, so travelers should check the official Nepal Department of Immigration website before departure.

Official Nepal Immigration:
Nepal Department of Immigration – Tourist Visa Information

Be especially careful about unofficial visa websites. Nepal's Department of Immigration has specifically warned travelers to use only official government .gov.np portals for visa payments.

You should pack for changing weather, cold temperatures and high-altitude conditions.

Essential items generally include:

  • Good-quality trekking boots
  • Trekking socks
  • Thermal base layers
  • Fleece or warm insulating layer
  • Waterproof jacket
  • Waterproof trousers
  • Warm jacket
  • Warm hat
  • Gloves
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunscreen
  • Trekking trousers
  • Comfortable trekking shirts
  • Water bottle
  • Headlamp
  • Personal medication
  • Personal toiletries
  • Power bank
  • Passport and travel documents
  • Small daypack

Scenic Nepal Treks provides a -20°C sleeping bag for the trek according to the package information.

You should also prepare for the possibility of very cold temperatures at higher elevations. Check Two Weeks Trek checklist here

Yes, comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended.

Your insurance should specifically cover:

  • High-altitude trekking
  • Medical treatment
  • Emergency evacuation
  • Helicopter evacuation where applicable
  • Trip cancellation
  • Trip interruption
  • Travel delays
  • Lost or delayed baggage

One important point is to check the maximum altitude covered by your policy. Some travel insurance policies have altitude limitations or exclude certain trekking activities.

Do not assume that ordinary travel insurance automatically covers trekking at Everest Base Camp.

Carry your insurance policy information and emergency contact details with you during the trek.

Your trekking guide will monitor your condition during the journey.

If you experience mild symptoms, your guide may recommend rest, hydration and monitoring, depending on the circumstances.

If your condition becomes serious, you may need to descend to a lower altitude.

In a medical emergency, emergency evacuation may be coordinated according to the circumstances, availability and applicable insurance arrangements.

Possible additional costs can include:

  • Medical treatment
  • Additional accommodation
  • Additional transportation
  • Helicopter evacuation
  • Changes to flights
  • Other emergency services

This is why comprehensive travel insurance covering high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation is extremely important.

Accommodation on the classic Everest Base Camp route is generally in mountain teahouses or lodges.

Conditions become simpler as you travel higher into the Everest region.

For the Scenic Nepal Treks 16-day package, the standard accommodation includes:

  • 2 nights in Kathmandu before the trek
  • 11 nights in mountain teahouses/lodges
  • 2 nights in Kathmandu after the trek

Mountain accommodation is generally arranged on a twin-sharing basis according to the package.

During the trek, the package includes breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Meals are generally selected from the available teahouse/lodge menu.

Additional personal drinks, snacks and other expenses may not be included.

This is an important consideration for travelers coming to Nepal from North America.

Travel from the USA or Canada to Nepal can involve long flights, multiple connections and a substantial time-zone change.

We therefore recommend allowing time to:

  • Recover from the international journey
  • Adjust to Nepal time
  • Sleep properly
  • Hydrate
  • Attend the trek briefing
  • Prepare your trekking equipment
  • Organize personal belongings before heading into the mountains

The Scenic Nepal Treks 16-day Everest Base Camp package includes two nights in Kathmandu before the trek specifically providing additional time around the start of the mountain journey.

The package also includes two nights in Kathmandu after the trek, providing additional recovery time and a buffer before your international departure.

This does not eliminate jet lag, but it gives travelers more time to adjust before starting a demanding high-altitude trek.

Trekking company with care and expertise

I trekked in Nepal with Scenic Nepal Treks in November 2025 in the Everest region and had an amazing experience. The whole team was so kind, handled everything and really took care of me during my time in Nepal.

My guide, Jagat, was kind, attentive, calm in all situations, and very experienced, and he consistently checked in on how I was feeling throughout the trek and switching plans when needed. I knew I could trust him which is super important trekking at altitude, and you could tell clearly how much knowledge and experience in the Everest region he has.

Dipendra, the owner, was communicative, reliable, and genuinely cares about the people trekking with his company. Everything was well-organized, and I felt confident the entire time that I was in good hands.

If you’re looking for a trekking company in Nepal that prioritizes safety, experience, and genuine care for their clients, I highly recommend Scenic Nepal Treks. I would absolutely trek with them again.

Manaslu Circuit Trek with Scenic Nepal Treksw

I has just been back from the incredible trekking trip in Nepal Manaslu Circuit area.

This compny has fantastic communication skills and helped me to arrange everything from route planning & application of all trekking permits, to accommodations, local transportation and hiring guides and porters if I wanted them for the trek.
The service is excellent ….before leaving the Uk I was reassured I didn't need to worry about anything during the trip.
For the Manaslu Circuit trek Dependra has assigned Santosh as our guide. He is an experienced trekking guide and speaks good English. He is very knowledgeable about the trek. I asked him about the mountain ranges and local culture. I learnt a lot from Santosh has great charisma we had a good laugh and he has become a great life long friend. Everyone I met was so very kind the local people, took care of me everyday. I had an unforgettable and incredible 12 days trekking trip.
After the trek, I had time to visit Pokhara for sightseeing. Even after the trek I have to thank Santosh for his advice and arranging the right transport for my next experience.

If any one is planing the next Nepal trip, I would highly recommend Scenic Nepal Trekking and Santosh is a truly fantastic and special man and excellent guide.

Expedition of a lifetime

The trekking is impressive, but it is also the contemplation of something that goes beyond a dream; it is about learning to master new physical and mental extremes and exploring new milestones and personal achievements!

And all of this was only possible thanks to the care and impeccable work of my friends at @scenicnepaltrekss! It simply could not have been more perfect if it weren't with them, and one thing is sure from now on: When I return, whether for expeditions in Nepal or even around the world, only with my team of Scenic!!! Longlife friendship! Thank u sooo much guys!

Amazing experience and well taken care of throughout

Have had an amazing experience with Scenic Nepal Treks doing EBC trek.

As a solo female traveller, I had some anxiety about travelling safely in a new country, but I never felt unsafe with Scenic Nepal Treks.

Pre-trip questions and requests were dealt with very quickly by Dipendra and I was able to build in some flexibility to my trip. Response times were second to none, bearing in mind time differences, but I don't think I ever had to wait longer than a few hours responses to my emaied queries.

The welcome to Kathmandu was seamless, I was put up in a nice hotel before the trek and luckily we got to Lukla smoothly. Due to the weather and airport closures, if we were on a later flight we might not have made it to Lukla for days!

My guide Binod was such a gentleman and showed genuine concern for my wellbeing. He also went through my stuff with me and advised me on what clothes I needed to get for the upper regions of the trek. I would also ask him every day what I should be wearing for the day's hike!

At some point I started getting symptoms of AMS and he would keep checking on how I was doing, carried my pack when I wasn't doing too well and organised a horse when I felt really bad.

My trek unfortunately ended prematurely for me because of the AMS but they handled the arrangements to get me down safely.

Dipendra kept in touch regularly during my few extra days in Kathmandu, which is over and above expectations.

Would highly recommend.

A great adventure in Nepal

The trip to EBC with Scenic Nepal trek was very good. Smoothly sailing from booking, to airport pick ups. Dipendra was very considerate and helpful. He told me to get to Lukla a day earlier since the weather was so bad. There was 3 others customers who can’t make it. But the company willing to take the on the trek with no additional costs. That’s a plus for me. He also picked me up from the airport, then take me to dinner after the trek.

My guide Bikram was very professional. His expertise and wildlife spotting is incredible. He kept showing me many wild animals on the trek that I have no idea how he spotted them. Also he guided me carefully about what to eat and what to do. The trip cost is also a catch. You will have full board meals throughout the trek, and only have to pay for drinks. While many other companies cost more and no meal included.

My porter Hemanta was friendly and willing to carry my stuffs on/off the mountains with no complains at all. The tea houses was good, clean, delicious food, some even have in-room shower.

All and all, I’m happy I chose Scenic Nepal trek. We even become friends after the trek. Recommended.

Tips: hire your sleeping bag at Namchee Bazaar, since you don’t have to carry it up and down the mountain. The tea houses below Namchee Bazaar has clean sheets and rooms, so you don’t need the sleeping bag there.

Fantastic, safe & exceptionally organised experience from a great company with experienced and friendly guides!

Firstly I would like to say that Scenic Nepal Treks, and our guides Shanker and Gunker made an unforgettable trip for my friend and I.

Definitely once in a lifetime opportunity and I would recommend everyone who even thinks of going to do it and if they do, to choose Scenic Nepal Treks as their chosen company.

Our guides went above and beyond to provide an exceptional, safe and breath-taking experience to EBC and the Gokyo Lakes. Despite me suffering from illness which would ultimately cut my trip short to miss the lakes, the guides were able to work between them to ensure that me and my friend were both safe (despite splitting up) and that we were still able to see as much as possible and it is because of their experience and attitude that I was still able to make it to EBC.

When I became ill, Shanker took me to the hospital where I was given the medication I needed and the group still went slower to accommodate for my slower pace.

Everything from the communication, to meeting up at the airport and finding last minute gear was organised exceptionally and I cannot find any fault to it.

Gokyo Lakes, EBC, Island Peak - once in a lifetime experience

I want to thank Dipendra and Shankar from Scenic Nepal Treks for the great job they did in arranging all the details and taking care of us throughout the whole journey.

It was an amazing experience and I will always remember it dearly.

Shankar is a very good guide, with good English and organizing skills, who was always very receptive to our needs.

I recommend, if you have a good physical condition, including the Gokyo Lakes in your EBC trek because they are amazing.

My tour guide Kumar and porter Anish are so friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming and patience.

Don't think about it....just book it 😆

I don't know how to put into words the true meaning of how amazing this trip was.

From start to finish the team.ar scenic nepal went above and beyond for us. We were collected at the airport and brought to a beautiful hotel in the middle of kathmandu, dipen brought us for a walk to get our bearings and showed us the best coffee in town.


The hotel, the food the staff was amazing. Then the trip came and wow what an amazing experience. We could not have had a better time. The first night hotel with waterfall on our door step was the highlight for me. Everyone in our group made it safely to basecamp. The guides have years of experience and know how to take good care of you to make a safe trip.

I can not wait to book my next trip to Nepal.

An Amazing Trip with Amazing People

I was part of a group from New Zealand called Got To Get Out who attempted EBC and Island Peak in January 2020.
We were taken care of from the start by Dipendra and our amazing guides Shankar, Kumar, Jagat, Buddhi, and our mountain guides. This was my second time to EBC with Scenic Nepal Treks and with Shankar as a guide, he is a very positive, smiling guy who will take care of you and even make you smile and laugh when you’re feeling terrible from the altitude.

Although we didn’t make it up to the top of Island Peak because of the weather, we had an amazing time with incredible views and felt very safe in the hands of the team guiding us (one of our mountain guides, Tashi, have been up to the top of Everest 10 times!!) They taught us how to ice climb which we take with us as a very good experience for the next attempt to climb a mountain! They really went the extra mile for us to make sure we were okay at all times and gave us a hand when we got tired.

Thank you Scenic Nepal Treks for an excellent trip, see you soon again!

Cheers Josefine

A brilliantly executed expedition.

We had the Everest Base Camp + Iceland Peak version. Everything realized at the highest level, great accommodations, delicious food.

If I ever go back to Nepal again I will definitely use the services of this company again.

I just happened to have a health problem and had to be transported by helicopter to the hospital. Everything was arranged literally within half an hour.

Trekking to ABC with wonderful team of Scenic Nepal Treks

This trip deserves ten out of ten.
As I was traveling by myself and had limited amount of time, Dipendra suggested me shorten version of ABC trekking and made a perfect plan for me. Everything was super smooth from picking me up at the airport to dropping me off. The only thing I had to do was to book my ticket to Kathmandu, everything else was done by them. Isn’t that amazing?!

The trip itself was an experience of a lifetime. The views were simply breathtaking and definitely fulfilled my expectations.
My guide Binod was fantastic and he looked out for me once we started our hike until we returned to Kathmandu, offered great advices throughout the trek and was always there for me when needed.

Having a strong and amazing team was a blessing. Big thanks to Dipendra, Binod and Kamal🙏

If you are looking for smooth, well organized trip, do not hesitate to contact them.

The absolute best team in Nepal!

Trekking with Scenic Nepal Treks was so worth it! Our guide, Santosh, and our porter were the absolute best.

Since I walk like a snail, Santosh literally walked behind me the whole time just to make sure I was safe, and also walked beside my husband to give him information, and he never complained once. So patient! Our porter didn't just carry our heavy bags, he really looked after me too.

And big thanks to Dipendra—we felt well cared for from the very first day we arrived. Whenever an issue came up, Dipendra was right there to resolve it immediately. Highly recommend this team!

Everest Base Camp with Scenic Nepal Treks

Can not recommend Scenic Nepal enough! They looked after every little detail, and I always felt that they were going above and beyond to take care of me, proactively and then when things went wrong (weather cancellations, effects of altitude etc…).

Krishna was the key to the trip, as a guide I couldn’t ask for a better partner, and Dipendra was super helpful in answering any and every little question I had.

Great company run by great people.

Gokyo Trek in December

This is my second time trekking with Scenic Nepal.

This time, I went to Gokyo with my son. As the first one to Mera Peak, this is just another memorable journey to Nepal. Beautiful landscape, wonderful people. Nepal is simply gorgeous. In late December, there were much less crowd on the trek, making your journey feel serene. The scenery from Gokyo Ri during sunset is one of the best you can find. Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu in golden reflection. We were accompanied by Kumar. I particularly asked Dipendra (Scenic Nepal owner) for Kumar as our guide, because he was the one accompanied us in 2022. He is an experienced guide, who is very friendly and very helpful, who always try to make your trip comfortable. He even spared his time to accompany us in Kathmandu looking for some stuffs in the wet market.

Thanks, Kumar. Thanks, Dipendra. Perfect arrangement.

Excellent Service by Scenic Nepal Treks & Expedition Pvt. Ltd.

We decided we could not stay away from Nepal so we contacted Dipendra to plan our Mera Peak trip. Scenic Nepal had outstanding accommodations from the minute we left the airport. We had such a great time until the minute we left with everything planned and arranged.

We will be booking future trips with Dipendra and Scenic Nepal and think you should too!

Scenic Nepal really looked after me on my 2024 trek to EBC.

Scenic Nepal owner Dipendra and his team of guides and porters really looked after me. I unfortunately got AMS after contracting covid up the trail and had to be medivacted back to Kathmandu.
I would definitely return and trek with Scenic Nepal again.
I am a firm believer that you don't know how good the care you will receive from an adventure treking company...until the poo hits the fan and you get sick or injured. After experiencing the first bad headache,
I received a text every morning and evening from Dipendra asking how I was, what symptoms I had. My guide Prem was like my shadow, never more than a few meters away, providing advice and support.
I highly recommend Scenic Nepal Treks and intend to go back to EBC with them.

Epic Manaslu /Tsum and Annapurna Trek

Brilliant 11 day Trek in Tsum Valley/lower part of Manaslu Circuit , plus 6 days in Annapurna.

We could not complete Manaslu Circuit due to extreme weather conditions caused by Cyclone Mortha, so we moved to Annapurna. Dipendra who owns the business provides superb and attentive customer care and is a really great guy. KK, our guide , and Ganesh,our porter, were truly outstanding in terms of looking after all matters, including being very hands on checking accommodation and all food related matters .

A superb experience in the epic Himalayas. Would strongly recommend .

The absolute best team in Nepal!

Trekking with Scenic Nepal Treks was so worth it! Our guide, Santosh, and our porter were the absolute best. Since I walk like a snail, Santosh literally walked behind me the whole time just to make sure I was safe, and also walked beside my husband to give him information, and he never complained once. So patient! Our porter didn't just carry our heavy bags, he really looked after me too. And big thanks to Dipendra—we felt well cared for from the very first day we arrived. Whenever an issue came up, Dipendra was right there to resolve it immediately. Highly recommend this team!

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek - Awesome Adventure

Safety was our top concern as our group included members aged from their 40s to 60s. Scenic Nepal Treks truly exceeded our expectations in this regard. Our guide Mr. Kumar was not only knowledgeable but also deeply attentive to ensuring each team member trekked at a comfortable pace while closely monitoring for any altitude-related issues from 3000m and above.

The porters were equally hardworking, respectful, and always ready to assist with a smile, which added to the positive experience.

The booking process was seamless and hassle-free. Mr. Dependra was extremely responsive to all my inquiries, and we were especially impressed with how the agency organized a last-minute change to our trekking route without any issues. Their flexibility and efficiency were commendable, especially given the short notice.

Overall, their professionalism, attention to detail, and care made our journey smooth, safe, and truly memorable. I would highly recommend Scenic Nepal Treks to anyone considering the Annapurna Base Camp trek.

Best Decision Ever

Scenic Nepal was the best choice for our EBC trek.

Dipendra had planned out great logistics and was available to talk with at any time.

Kumar our guide provided us with great guidance and education along the route.

Our tea houses and lodges that he had were comfortable and inviting.

He looked out for our wellness and kept us happy the entire time!

An experience of a lifetime with a company you can absolutely trust..

Extremely well-organized trip and a 100% trustworthy company, owner and hiking guides . Our plans were impacted by unpredictable weather that grounded all flights into lukla and heavy rain resulting in floods that wiped out the alternative road route and bridge from Rammechap to Lukla.

Diprenda moved heaven and earth to find flights and made it possible for our group to make it to lukla, complete our trek to EBC and return back to Kathmandu safe and sound.

Extremely difficult circumstances, but Dipendra went above and beyond to make this happen for us. An absolute gentleman.

Everything was super smooth and professional, from picking us up at the airport to dropping us off. The morning after we arrived we had a debrief on the trip and were advised about what equipment we needed.
The trip itself was an experience of a lifetime. It was my birthday in the days before the trek and he even ordered a birthday cake for me before we left our hotel in Kathmandu, what a star.

We hiked in October, the views were simply breathtaking. Our head guide Shankar was fantastic, we could not recommend him enough. He looked out for us once we started our hike until we returned to Kathmandu, offered great advice and kept us right on what to eat and drink throughout .

Everything was done for us and it was such a smooth trip.

I have zero hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending Dipendra and Shankar as your guides or this travel company! I would definitely use them again for any return expedition in Nepal..

Best experience, Manaslu Circuit Trek

I have just been back from the incredible trekking trip in the Nepal Manaslu Circuit area. Scenic Nepal Treks has fantastic communication skills and helped me to arrange everything from route planning & application of all trekking permits, to accommodations, local transportation, and hiring guides and porters if I wanted them for the trek.
The service is excellent ….before leaving the Uk I was reassured I didn't need to worry about anything during the trip.
For the Manaslu Circuit trek, Dependra has assigned Santosh as our guide. He is an experienced trekking guide and speaks good English. He is very knowledgeable about the trek. I asked him about the mountain ranges and local culture. I learned a lot from Santosh has great charisma we had a good laugh and he has become a great lifelong friend. Everyone I met was so very kind the local people, took care of me every day. I had an unforgettable and incredible 12 days trekking trip.
After the trek, I had time to visit Pokhara for sightseeing. Even after the trek, I have to thank Santosh for his advice and for arranging the right transport for my next experience.
If anyone is planning the next Nepal trip, I would highly recommend Scenic Nepal Trekking and Santosh is a truly fantastic and special man and an excellent guide.

I have a great Journey with Scenic Nepal Treks

This trip had been 4 years in the making. had actually gotten to know Rajan and Dipendra through a friend's friend recommendation.

I can only say that they are so patient with me over the years (yes years!) in the multiple failed attempts that I had to get myself to Nepal.
Well, this year, it finally came true and with the trusty hands of Dipendra and my absolutely wonderful guide KK, I had the most amazing trip of my life! Dipendra made sure that anything and everything will go well, from the airport pick-ups to the hotel accommodation to the arrangements to be made during the trek. He was able and very willing to help me with my numerous changes along the way and I knew that all I needed was to ask and he will help me fulfill my requests.

And then there is KK, my super guide. Right from day 1, he gave me the assurance and the feeling that I will be very well taken care of and he definitely did. Way above my expectations. When I just mentioned to him that I think I need a porter halfway while trekking, he found me one in 30 minutes! How amazing was that! KK always made sure that he's either walking beside me or behind me to make sure that I am ok all the way, even if I was slow, he very patiently waited for me.

And then there's the trek. The most amazing country, landscapes, and people. I've run out of words to explain but this is definitely a must-do for all travelers and of all ages.

Thank you Scenic Nepal. Especially Dipendra, KK, and Rajan. You guys are amazing!

EBC with Scenic Nepal Treks

Incredible trip to Nepal.
An amazing stay in Kathmandu to begin our trip which included a sightseeing tour! This was amazing, with a guide and transport.

The trek to EBC was great, the teahouses, culture and views were stunning! Our Guide knew the area very well and told us stories along the way and pointed out mountains to us.
The scenery was out of this world stunning!

I'd recommend Scenic for anybody thinking of going to Nepal to trek. I'll probably use them again inn future.
Thanks Scenic!

Safe, Supported, and Amazed—Scenic Nepal Exceeded Our Expectations

If you are considering booking a trip with Scenic Nepal then do it!

We have had the pleasure of spending a combined 17 days with them, and we’ve been more than satisfied with them.

We had booked a private trip for the EBC and Gokyo Trek. The service was incredible and we had the most amazing guide and friend, Rajan, who made our journey very memorable. He made us feel safe and looked after every step of the way. We only have one small tiny thing we would’ve wished we had been aware of earlier. Please book a day or two extra on the other end of the trip, to make sure you have enough days to complete your trip. Nepalese weather can be very unpredictable, and that can mess with your flight to and from Lukla. We were not aware of this before booking the flight from Kathmandu (this is mostly our own fault), and therefore we just followed the original itinerary with airport drop-off. Because of bad weather we missed our first day of the trek, which made us rush a bit more, than we probably should’ve. But Dipendra and Rajan treated this problem in the best possible way and gave us some options for how we could continue. Even offering extension on the trip (for not much extra) to be able to get to do everything without rushing. Icing on the cake was spending time with Dipendra, some of the other people at Scenic and other trekkers at their headquarters in Kathmandu to celebrate Diwali after our trek.

Scenic Nepal is an incredible team!

Thanks to them, this though but once in a life time experience has finished with no problem.

Dipendra has always been so supportive and in contact with us during our trip. Our guide KK and porter Sonam have always been so helpful, trustable and cheerful friends throughout the route. We are very thankful to this experienced team for making our dream come true.

With all my heart, I can say that this route should be experienced with this professional and friendly team.

Incredible LOBUCHE & GOKYO

This is my second time visiting Nepal to hike/ climb in the Himalayas , I wasn’t sure if my experience would be as wonderful as the first time but it was all of that and much more.

Dipendra from is a lovely , thorough and organised operator who really took care of us and made sure we had everything we needed to make it a memorable experience. We had a wonderful guide ( Shankar) who became our friend and went out of his way to ensure our comfort and safety for the best experience. We completed Gokyo Ri and continued on to cho la pass and finally climb Lobuche East peak. I can easily say - nothing compares to this and I strongly encourage anyone who is looking to head to the Himalayas , get in touch with Dipendra and you wont be disappointed .

Cant wait to visit again hopefully in the near future . Thanks Dipendra , Shankar , our amazing porters and wonderful climbing guides 🙏 much love from Melbourne Australia.

We had a wonderful 2nd trek with Scenic Nepal Treks & Expedition, and once again they have absolutely exceeded our expectations. From day 1, everything was arranged perfectly - every detail was seamless, making the whole trip completely stress-free.

Our guide and porter were the best, not only professional and knowledgeable, but genuinely warm and caring throughout our journey. We always felt safe, valued and supported.

Scenic Nepal Treks truly knows how to create an unforgettable adventure. We can't recommend them highly enough and we look forward to our next adventure with them!

Amazing Service Despite Many Unforeseen Challenges

Scenic Nepal Treks offers a service to be expected of a world-class, premium trekking company with prices x10 higher - they are the real deal.

I planned a custom itinerary which included many days at extreme altitude along with peak climbing and the whole process was easy and executed perfectly and with flexibility of schedule.

My trip had many challenges: illness, harsh weather and an emergency evacuation for a few of the team members due to freak circumstances - Dipendra and the Scenic Nepal team had everything under control.

I can’t recommend them enough, and especially our guide Shankar. I can count the whole team as my friends and I will be seeing them again on my next visit to Nepal 🇳🇵

TRIP OF A LIFE TIME WITH SCENIC NEPAL TREKS

I don’t often write reviews, but for this trip I just had to.

Scenic tracks Nepal has to be one of the best companies I have ever went on any trip with. From the Getgo they helped us sort flights accommodation and answered every question no matter how stupid it may have been about Nepal. The trek itself was absolutely amazing. Nepal is a beautiful country the people are absolutely amazing. The Food is some of the best I’ve everhad as someone from Ireland our euro goes a long way in Nepal. Our guide and Porter were the nicest people we’ve ever met. They were so caring thoughtful and helpful throughout the whole trip. The professionalism of the company was incredible. Everything was taken care of we have to make any plans or have to worry about a single thing. Even when things seemingly didn’t go perfectly, it was never an issue. Our guide knew what to do in any situation. To conclude I could not recommend this company enough do yourself a favour and book your trip now and experience the beautiful scenic Nepal.

Gokyo Ri Epic Journey

I am just home from my Gokyo Ri trek, my second Himilayan expedition this year with Scenic treks Nepal.

I had the most incredible experience again thanks to Dipendra, my guide Binod and porter Tom. Everything was perfectly organized for me from start to finish. This was my first solo trip and i new already i would be well looked after from my experience with these guys in April. From the minute i arrived in Kathmandu, Dipendra had everything planned perfectly. Binod was waiting for me at arrivals, transportation to the hotel, beautiful accommodation at Kantipur hotel where i spent 1 night before flying out to Lukla. I was able to just completely enjoy the journey. Binods kindness and knowledge of the mountains made everyday memorable. The team went above and beyond to make sure I was happy, comfortable and safe. Everyday Binod was so nice and helpful. My porter Tom was an amazing guy so friendly and always had a smile on his face, great company all round. Dipendra was constantly checking in with us too see how everything was going. Gokyo Ri Trek was absolutely beautiful. We had great views the whole way. the weather for us was really sunny every day. some rain during the night but this was good as the trail was not dusty so there was no need for me to use my buff at all this time around. Happy days. I highly recommend Scenic treks Nepal if you are looking to explore the Himilayas with a reliable and caring team. Dipendra and Binod were not only experienced and professional but also genuinely kind and fun.

I cant thank you guys enough for another epic adventure and I will be seeing you again.

Excellent experience & professional trekking EBC with Scenic Nepal Treks

My wife and I had an unbelievable experience trekking 12 days to Everest Base Camp (EBC) with Scenic Nepal Treks and Expedition! This company is truly the top professionals when looking for a company to book any trekking or sightseeing with in Nepal! Our guide Rajan was top notch and one of the most knowledgeable and professional guides on the planet with well over 100+ trips to EBC.

From the beginning before we booked our trip with Scenic Nepal Treks, Dipendra was very responsive and professional in handling our booking. He was by far the most professional we have ever dealt with when booking any trip abroad and his English was absolutely perfect. His email replies were immediate, and he provided guidance and recommendations for every aspect of our trip by both email and phone. We had several special requests for the trip including setting up a surprise bday, and Dipendra took care of everything.

The professional service and A+++ attitude began from Day 1, our guide Rajan was there at the airport to pick us up and greeted us with a sign when we landed (even though our flight was delayed 3 hours). We were transported to our hotel in Thamal and spent time going over our planned 12 day hike to EBC and gear list.

Once we were on the trek to EBC, Rajan took care of us like no one else could. He adjusted trekking speed as needed and went out of his way to explain the Nepalese culture and the area. As I mentioned before, he has completed this trek well over 100+ times and is well known by all the Tea House's and other guides. Being this well known has its advantages, as you usually get the best rooms at Tea House's to enjoy the amazing views. We encountered a situation where it was the full moon festival (happens 1 time per year) at the Buddhist Monastery in Tengboche and all tea house rooms were being shared. Rajan took care of our bookings and we were given a private room with the best view of Mt Everest! Another example why it pays to book with the best! 

After the hike we celebrated with our staff and had a great experience. I wanted to add that Scenic Nepal Treks is not just for trekking, we booked a tour of the historic sites around Kathmandu and that was a highly recommended experience. Rajan & Dipendra personally handled every aspect of the trip and even accompanied us to the airport for our return flight to make sure we were taken care of 100% and see us off!

Our trip to EBC was one the best experiences of our lives! I attribute that to the hard work, knowledge, and experience of our guide Rajan & Dipendra! Looking forward to coming back to Nepal for the Annapurna Circuit next year!

Thanks again Scenic Nepal Treks for making our experience so great and gaining lifelong friends!

EBC - Experience of a Lifetime

I completely and only recommend these guys. They were awesome, and we couldn’t have done it without them. Traveling during a pandemic is stressful, but they were so on top of the travel restrictions. Giving reminders. “Don’t forget this, etc.” We felt taken care of. And we ran into other trekking groups on the trail. We had the best guides!

Annapurna base camp

What an amazing journey! Once again, all the way from Ireland this is my third time trekking in the himilayas with Scenic Treks Nepal in the past year. It has been excellent every time.

The organization, communication and attention to detail was amazing by Dipendra and my guide Birendra and my porter Buddhi. Everything was very well planned from accommodation to everyday logistics with Dipendra. This is my second solo trip and I feel very safe and happy each time. Dipendra made sure to check in multiple times during the trek to make sure all was well. Birendra and Buddhi were an absolute pleasure to spend every day with. Very caring, genuinely kind, fun guys, I felt well looked after. ABC trek is really beautiful. Lots of stairs everyday so you are sure to get a solid work out in 😀 while I was there the weather was great. Very warm and sunny every day then rain in the evenings so it worked out well as by the time it rained we were at the next tea house. I ate local dhal bat everyday for lunch and dinner which was delicious in every tea house. All the locals are super nice and accommodating.

I can confidently recommend this company and this ABC trek I had a great time 😊 thank you again guys, dhanyabad and see you again soon for the next adventure. Robyn

The trip was very well organized and was the highlight of my 6-week trip to Nepal.

Unreal experience with Scenic Nepal Treks

One of the best experiences of my life!

Couldn’t have done it without my excellent guide Jagat. I was well looked after every day from morning to night. Never had an issue. Whenever I needed something Jagat was there to provide! Always had good accomodation and the trek itself is absolutely beautiful. Jagat could read the weather well so we were never in a situation where we were trekking through bad weather. He was also happy to take a rest day when I asked for one.

Further thank you to Dipendra for all the organisation and Suman my porter, always happy to carry something!

A great experience with Scenic Nepal Treks and will definitely book through them again!

Absolutely amazing Everest Base Camp Trek

I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Scenic Nepal Treks, and the experience was absolutely exceptional. From the initial planning to the very last day, everything was handled with the utmost care and professionalism.

Dipendra coordinated the entire trip flawlessly from the background, ensuring that every aspect ran smoothly. Our guide, Santosh, was outstanding — knowledgeable, attentive, and deeply passionate about the mountains. He provided detailed insights into every peak and landscape we encountered, turning the journey into both a physical challenge and a learning experience.

A heartfelt thanks to Harry, our hardworking and cheerful porter, whose dedication made the trek comfortable and enjoyable.

Together, this team created an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend Scenic Nepal Treks to anyone looking for a safe, well-organized, and truly memorable Himalayan experience. I look forward to returning and exploring more of Nepal with them in the future.

Everest Base Camp Trek- Best team

Standing at the foot of the world’s highest peak is a feeling I can’t put into words. This trek was physically demanding, but every drop of sweat was worth it for the views of Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and Everest itself. The sunrise at Kala Patthar was the absolute highlight. Beyond the scenery, the warmth of the Nepali people and the hospitality in the teahouses made this experience truly special. If you're on the fence, just book it—you'll come back a different person!"

Outstanding trekking experience

Manju Adhikary and Shankar Karki (with his wonderful son, Unish) led us on an unforgettable week long trek from Nayapur to Poon Hill. Their thoughtfulness, assistance, inspiration and sense of good cheer brightened up all our spirits. Our guides particularly rose to the occasion in addressing a number of health – related challenges that befell several in our group.

More generally, Dipendra and his Scenic Nepal organization were always ready to assist us and adapt to changing circumstances with positivity and expertise.

Nepal is an extraordinary country with profoundly beautiful vistas and deeply caring people. As a way to become introduced to that wonderful land, I cannot recommend this great organization more highly. They are an outfit I strongly recommend to folks considering a first trek in Nepal - or even a second or third.

EBC and Gokyo Trek

What a trip!

We had been dreaming of this adventure for 20 years and it didn’t disappoint. Dipendra and his team met us in Kathmandu, providing a great preview into the impending hike. We felt well prepared and supported the entire journey. Binod our guide was exceptional. His local knowledge of the Khumbu region and connections with the local Sherpa benefited us greatly with the best rooms in most tea houses. His support throughout tricky high passes was phenomenal, helping us deal with the altitude and the uneven terrain.

We had the BEST time ever and couldn’t recommend these guys any more.

During the trek my guide KK was knowlesgable and found solutions when things didn't go according to plan. Unfortunately I had some issues with the altitude after resching EBC, so I had to return to Kathmandu early. There Dipendra gave me some alternative options to do, and on the spot he arranged a mini trekking in the Annapurna area.

I would definetely recommend to book your Nepal trek with Scenic Nepal Treks. Despite some issues I had an amazing trip.

Incredible 9 days trek to ABC with Scenic Nepal Treks

Annapurna Base Camp trek with Scenic Nepal was an unforgettable experience, and made truly special by our amazing guide Jagat—knowledgable, kind, and always helpful.

Every day was well organized, and the views were simply breathtaking.

Scenic Nepal handled everything flawlessly, making the journey smooth and stress-free.

Highly recommend them for anyone seeking an authentic and well-supported Himalayan adventure!


Thanks Dipendra and Jagat for this incredible experience! Well done 👍🏼
