Everest Base Camp Trek, 14 Days with Lukla Flights
14 days from Kathmandu with a licensed guide, a porter for every two trekkers, permits and hotels included. From US$1,590 per person.
Overview
You fly into Lukla (about 2,860 m), walk up the Dudh Koshi valley through Sherpa villages to Namche Bazaar, then on to Everest Base Camp at 5,364 m. A climb to Kala Patthar (5,545 m) gives the best view of Everest itself. There are two rest days for altitude, at Namche and Dingboche. In busy months (April, May, October and November) flights to Lukla can leave from Ramechhap, a 4 to 5 hour drive before dawn. We tell you which airport before you book. Flights can be delayed by weather, so we recommend keeping one spare day before your flight home. Who it suits: Walkers with good fitness and no history of problems at altitude. You sleep above 5,000 m once. Price: from US$1,590 per person for two sharing, US$1,790 for a solo traveler and US$1,490 each for four or more. Pay a 20% deposit to hold your dates and your guide, and pay the rest in USD by bank transfer before you fly. Message us on WhatsApp +977 985 1360654.
