The Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek is a legendary journey to the foot of the planet’s highest peak, Mount Everest (8,848 meters / 29,032 feet). It is known worldwide as one of the most breathtaking and adventurous trekking trails, offering an unparalleled mix of raw nature and unique mountain culture.
Taking place in the Everest region of the Himalayas, the EBC trek begins with a thrilling flight to Lukla and then gradually passes through vibrant woods, traditional Sherpa hamlets, alpine meadows and glacial valleys. It finally takes you to the Everest Base Camp resting at 5,364 meters / 17,598 feet.
The trails leading up to Everest Base Camp are dotted with charming villages as Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche etc, all of which offer quiet and scenic environments to rest and replenish. These traditional villages give you opportunities to meet the local people and learn about their unique customs, religious beliefs and lifestyles. Likewise, the ancient monasteries, stupas and mani walls scattered across the hamlets provide a deep sense of culture and spirituality to the trek.
The panoramic scenery of towering Himalayan giants occupies you during the Everest Base Camp hiking journey. The spectacular scenery of great mountains such as Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Everest keeps accompanying you throughout the trek. From the rich biodiversity of the Sagarmatha National Park to ancient Sherpa culture and deep glacial valleys, the Everest Base Camp Tour is a deeply rewarding mountain adventure.
Our 15-day Everest Base Camp Trek starts in Lukla. It is a more accessible alternative compared to the traditional route from Jiri. Nowadays, most trekkers prefer flying to Lukla as it is a convenient 40 minute aerial ride from Kathmandu. Nevertheless, during high season trekking times, flights are redirected to Manthali Airport in Ramechhap which is around 5-hour drive from Kathmandu.
Arriving at Lukla, the excitement is on as you start hiking on the main Everest Base Camp route. Phakding is the first night’s stay which is a peaceful village beside the Dudh Koshi River. The route then proceeds to Namche Bazaar, a lively Sherpa town where two nights are spent for elevation acclimatization. The next overnight stop is Tengboche which is renowned for the Tengboche Monastery, the largest in the Khumbu area.Continuing on Everest Base Camp trekking trails, you will reach Dingboche where another day of acclimatization helps your body to further get accustomed to thin alpine air. After several ups and downs and twists and turns, you will finally reach the iconic Everest Base Camp where you will enjoy the splendid vista of Khumbu Icefall, Khumbu Glacier and Mount Everest along with her sister peaks in all their glory.
Trek to Everest Base Camp with Adventure Great Himalaya Treks and Expedition is a wonderful way to experience the magnificence of the Everest region without the need to stress around anything. The trek is completely guide tour package, We will take care of everything from the day by day well being check-ups to see how well you are acclimatizing and trip security to the calculated subtle elements like nourishment, settlement, permits, and transport. As an industry-leading master with over a decade of experience, we ensure an important, comfortable, and secure trekking encounter.

The entire experience, from the initial contact to the departure from.Katmandu, was enjoyable, friction free, and devoid of stress or worry. The EBC trek was an amalgamation of vision quest, cultural immersion, intensive fitness fun, splendid views, communing with nature,and light-hearted banter. Chrisna was informative, kind, compassionate, flexible, caring, motivational, and a blast to hang with. He always provided options, was persistently positive,and continually attended to our needs and desires.
Bemba, the porter, was attentive, humble, and reliable. Natali and I wish him the best on his mission to summit Everest in 2025 ! I am sure he will conquer the mountain effortlessly. Everyone at Adventure Great Himalaya, from Babu (owner) to the office staff, were helpful, candid, and good-natured.
The experience exceeded all of our expectations. It was an ineffable, surreal epic endeavor. We will be back for another adventure in Nepal with Adventure Great Himalaya with friends in tow. I highly recommend using this locally owned and operated company. It is a tradegy that 90% of EBC treks are completed using entities owned and operated outside of Nepal. Go with Adventure Great Himalaya to support local businesses, have more fun, receive personalized service, and even save some money.

This was absolutely the most amazing trip. Adventure Great Himalaya took care of me from the time I landed in Kathmandu until I flew home. They are very knowledgeable about the city and the mountains and treat their guests like family. I’m hoping to go back in a couple of years and do another of their treks. I absolutely recommend using them for your next Himalaya adventure! Love this company!!

All the lodges, the food, the service while organizing the whole trip via email , the service provided by nabin during trekking, everything was brilliant.
I was trekking on the EBC trek to kala patthar which is summited, it has been an adventure of a lifetime and i can highly recommend adventure great himalaya, which is a highly professional, very fair and honest company.
100% Support!
And if you ever end up in the office of Mr. Karki , try the Masala Tea from next door, its probably the best in Nepal !

Trekking to Everest Base Camp was my lifetime ambitious. I fulfilled it in October 2011. It is my lifetime experience and my life’s most memorable moment. The moment I reached the Everest base camp and the top of Kala Patthar was really awesome. It was like you were on the top of the world….well, not quite, but the sense of achievement you felt was beyond words. All these would not make possible without Adventure Great Himalaya Trek & Expedition (P) Ltd. Thanks to Mr. Babu (Managing Director of Adventure Great Himalaya).
I traveled alone and joined with a group of 15 trekkers from UK. I felt very comfortable with the group I went with. They were friendly and not to mentioned very funny as well. We turned into friends almost instantly. There were a lot of fun traveling with them and I am glad to have their company on my trip.
Our trek was fantastic. Everything was very well organized. Even when we had bad weather in Lukla and could not fly back to Kathmandu, the tour guide and the Trekking company managed to rearrange everything and we flew back to Kathmandu next morning.
On our trek, breakfast, lunch and dinner were very well served. We chose what we want from the menu. Food was fantastic and cooked in “clean” and “safe” kitchens. Adventure Great Himalaya provides us with great porters and lovely guides. Guides are very knowledgeable and have great experience in the Himalaya region. They were friendly , spoke good English and great singers as well. They always made sure that we got the best rooms in the lodge. Every night after dinner, we were brief by guides on the journey ahead next day. I personally found this very useful and communicative.
In Himalaya region, everywhere you look, there is great view. The astonish view is way beyond words could description. The sheer size of the mountains and valleys is something I have never experienced. Thanks to Adventure Great Himalaya for making my EBC trek a wonderful and memorable experience. If I decide to go back for another adventure in Nepal, I will definitely go with Adventure Great Himalaya. NAMASTE.

This trip from start to finish was an absolute adventure. I arrived later than I thought I would in Kathmandu and Great adventure Himalaya made it accommodating for me. Well, we started off from Kathmandu and met our Guide Santosh(amazing guide from start to finish) and got to the airport and flew to Lukla. From there the trekking began. My friend and I are fast hikers and made up incredible time. Santosh, our guide, really took amazing care of my friend and I. The price we paid was one of the best you’ll find out there. If your thinking about doing this without a guide, that would be stupid. 2 people died on the trail who didn’t have guides while we were there. Plus it was a lot of fun with ours.
This is a trip I will remember for the rest of my life.

I did the E.B.C trekking with this company in March 2017. This is Very good company for Everest Base camp Trek. The Company professional, helpful and approachable. I booked the trek as a solo female traveler. I felt safe throughout my time with the company. The trek was amazing, a once in a lifetime must do trek. I was provided with a guide and a porter by the company, both of whom were professional and very helpful. The trek its self was medium to hard and tiring of course but worth it! The scenery is just amazing no words can describe it. All the arrangements were made by the company, hotel stays, return flights from KTM to Lulka, all food and drinks during the trek. I hope to book another trek with the company in the future. A dream come true thank Adventure Great Himalaya.

This is my second time engaged Adventure Great Himalaya for my trekking in Nepal, first in ABC and this time is Everest Base Camp Trek.
The company owner, Mr. Babu Karki, is a helpful and kind person, he will answer to all of your enquiry before you depart from your home country. His arrangement of the trip is perfect, immediately after you stepped out from the arrival hall of airport, his staff will be there waiting for you. During the trekking day, he will always keep in touch with the guide to ensure the condition and progress of the guest.
Mr Babu has very high requirement of the guides he employed, the guide that I got for this 15 days, Kirshna, is very professional and experienced. He is very familiar with EBC route, he knows exactly how long to take to reach to next pit stop. He even become the pace maker for us, he adjusted the trekking pace based on my physical condition, this is really helpful and I barely feel any tiredness after the everyday trekking.
Regarding the charges, I did some comparison before I decided to choose Adventure Great Himalaya, the charges is very reasonable. After completed the trip, I will say the charges is very value for money because the service provided by them is equivalent to others big company if not better than them. The guide i got is better than those big company and I am staying at the same lodge with those who engaged big company as their agency.
i will highly recommend anyone who is planning to travel to Nepal to check out with Adventure Great Himalaya, you will never regard of your choice!

Did the Everest base camp trek with this company. It was an amazing and a life changing experience. Its a little tiring trek but when you reach the base camp you realize all the blood, sweat and tears were worth it. The arrangements were very smooth and efficient. The guide and porter were very helpful and friendly. The flight bookings, hotel bookings and food everything was right on schedule. Hope do do some more treks with this company again. You pass beautiful places like Namche bazaar, Tingboche and Gorakshep on the way. Loved the serene beauty of Tingboche especially the monastery. Would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

The services by AGH is always excellent and wonderful! I’ve trek with them on 4 different occasion (3 on EBC, Island Peak and one in Langtang) and without fail, I’ve always have a wonderful experience. Babu, the managing director of AGH and all their staff is always very accommodating and really helpful!
The guides of AGH, particularly Nabin (he guided me on 3 different occasion) and Nanda is excellent, they go above and beyond what is required of them. I have them to thank for guiding me safely throughout the treks. They are to me, a friend and guide.
I will continue again and again to use AGH for all my future trips to Nepal! If you ever needed an adventure operator in Nepal, AGH is the go to agency!

My sister and I decided we wanted to go trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp. Thanks to Adventure Great Himalaya we had a fantastic experience! It was everything we could have asked for and more. The staff and the guides were super professional and knowledgeable. We are so happy we decided to use a local company. Thank you for everything!!!

Im Oktober 2010 lief ich zusammen mit drei Freunden den Everest Base Camp Trek. Unser Guide hiess Nabin. Er war nicht nur Jemand, der uns den Weg gezeigt hat, sondern er hat auch versucht uns so gut wie moeglich die nepalesische Kultur naeherzubringen. Am Ende unseres insgesamt drei Wochen andauernden Aufenthalts in Nepal hatten wir zu ihm dann ein sehr freundschaftliches Verhaeltnis.
Leider bekam ich kurz vor dem Ziel die ersten akuteren Symptome von Hoehenkrankheit, so dass wir ein paar Tage vorher umkehren mussten. Die so gewonnene Zeit verbrachten wir in Kathmandu, wo Nabin uns dann noch ueber mehrere Tage verteilt die Stadt gezeigt hat. Außerdem hat Babu uns noch einen Rafting Ausflug organisiert.
Alles in Allem muss ich sagen, dass uns Babu und sein Team vom Moment unserer Ankunft in Kathmandu bis zu unserer Abreise einen hervorragenden Service boten. Beim naechsten Trip nach Nepal, welchen es definitiv geben wird, werde ich mich daher definitiv wieder an Adventure Great Himalaya wenden.
