Best time to do Everest Base Camp

Everest Base Camp trail is easily accessible during two different seasons, spring and autumn. April to mid-June months mark the spring season, and September to November months mark the autumn. During these two seasons, trekkers can easily access the trail and enjoy the best sceneries, including mountains and river valleys.

The season of monsoon/summer isn’t recommended for trekking, as the incessant rainfall can often affect the flight to/from Lukla. Winter is one of the beautiful seasons to visit EBC. The months of December until February experience serious wind chill and snowfall. However, the daytime offers crystal clear weather and exceptional mountain views.

Alpine Eco Trek offers specialized and custom Christmas and New Year trips to Everest Base Camp.

How Difficult is Everest Base Camp Trip?

Everest Base Camp is by far the most popular trek in Nepal. Over 30,000 tourists visit the pristine Everest Region every year. Among them, the majority of tourists embark on the trek to Everest Base Camp located at the sheer altitude of 5,210 meters.

It traverses the historical expedition route that has seen the likes of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. The 08 days Everest Base Camp Trek remains popular for its challenging endeavors. As high altitude and its health-related problems remain the major issue during this trek, we ensure that the trekkers don’t need to climb over 600 meters in a day.

The highest you’ll climb is 780 meters from Phakding to Namche Bazaar. Above all, Alpine Eco Trek strictly follows the policy of one porter for one trekker for any trip over 4,000 meters. The porter carries the entire luggage making it easy for the trekkers to walk at their own pace.

Epic 11 days Everest base camp group trek

The group trek to the Everest Base Camp with Alpine Eco Trek was one of the best travel experiences in my life. While the 11-day trek itself was full of wonders, we were amazed by the lengths the guide and porters went for our comfort. They made sure that the pace of the trek was slow and steady. Also, they booked accommodation and flights for us. The quality of the food was remarkable even so high in the Himalayas. Likewise, the lodges and teahouses that we stayed throughout the trek also had tidy and hygienic rooms. Thus, our 11 days Everest Base Camp trek was an amazing Himalayan experience. We strongly recommend Alpine Eco and Ram Kumar the owner of this company.

First class experience to Everest Base Camp

We did the 11 Day group trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp and back – what a marvelous experience. Alpine Eco Trek was a joy from booking right through to completion of our trek. The friendly team at AET took away all the stress that could be added on this trek and really helped our group in having an unforgettable experience of a lifetime. We really loved the fact we were walking with locals, eating with locals, staying with locals and our trek leader, Mr. Karma Sherpa was born in the Everest region. He gave us a real insight into Sherpa’s life, culture, and history of this beautiful Sherpa land. We cannot wait to trek with Alpine Eco Trek again and we do not hesitate to recommend this company and its lovely owner, Mr. Ram Kumar, to our friends and families.
