Though this trip starts and ends at Kathmandu, actual trekking only starts from Lukla (2840 m/9318 ft) and ends here also. We are going to fly to Lukla and start trekking for the next 12 days.

The major highlight of the Luxury Trek is reaching Kala Patthar (5550 m/18,209 ft). Thus, you will be hiking early in the morning to witness an awe-inspiring sunrise view, along with the view of the mighty Mount Everest. It is also the highest point of our trek.

During this trip, you will be staying in a comfortable 5-star hotel in Kathmandu while in warm and cozy lodges and teahouses.

Though the trek is categorized as moderate, for those with weak physical conditions or any health issues, it could be difficult. However, our Himalayan Masters team and your guide are prepared to do everything possible to make your journey successful and memorable.

Also, it is essential to obtain a few permits, such as the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit and the Sagarmatha National Paek Permit. Once you are all set, get ready for the most stunning journey in the Himalayas.

After breakfast, we start walking down to the lower altitude. Pheriche is the last destination for today, which is a hike of about 4 hours from Kala Patthar, about 12 km away.

Everest Base Camp Trek with helicopter return is also an option if you want to return to Kathmandu from Gorakshep.

The Difficulty for Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek

Although the route is the same, the Everest Base Camp Trek difficulty can differ when in Luxury Trek than in normal, traditional trekking.

Luxury trekking is comparatively easier as you will be staying in the most comfortable accommodation possible. Being able to sleep in a warm and neat bed in a cozy room can help you release stress from trekking all day.

Also, you will be provided with a professional, experienced trekking guide and porters who are dedicated to ensuring your safety and comfort during the trek.

Apart from luxurious accommodation, you might face other challenges. One common challenge is altitude sickness.

As you trek to higher altitudes, the air pressure gets thinner, which might cause you to fall victim to altitude sickness. So, it is essential to include acclimatization days in your standard itinerary, stay hydrated and eat easily digestible foods.

This trek is particularly difficult due to rough terrain, high altitude, and harsh, unpredictable weather conditions. For this, you need to be well-informed and prepared for it.

There are several other risks when trekking in high altitudes. So, listen to your guide at all times and stay aware and prepared for any cases.

Trip Grade: Fitness Level, Medical, and Health

The Everest Base Camp luxury trek requires a moderate to high level of fitness. Trekkers should be able to walk 5-7 hours daily, sometimes on steep terrain, with a daypack. Regular cardiovascular and strength training exercises before the trek are suggested to prepare for the physical demands of the journey.

As the trek reaches an altitude of 5550 meters at Kala Patthar, people with lung disease might find trekking difficult. Therefore, it is advised to confer with a healthcare professional before the trek.

The trek involves staying in remote areas with limited medical facilities. Trekkers should be in good health and have a basic understanding of first aid. It is recommended that a personal medical kit with necessary medications be provided and that the trekking guide be informed of any health concerns.

Altitude Sickness on Everest Base Camp Trek

The problem of altitude sickness is almost always brought by the climbers who are on the way to Everest base camp.

Due to depleting oxygen levels in higher altitudes, normally above 2500 meters, trekkers show symptoms like nausea, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, insomnia, etc.

To avoid altitude sickness, the trekkers are advised to ascend gradually, drink water abundantly, and avoid alcoholic drinks and excessive coffee consumption.

To avoid the worst case further, you are required to know the early signs of sickness and inform your guide if you have any difficulty.

The best way to tackle altitude sickness is by descending to a lower altitude.

Essential Preparation for Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek

Climbing to Everest Base Camp does not require any technical climbing experience as it is a trekking route. However, good physical fitness and mental preparedness are essential due to the challenging terrain, high altitude, and long trekking days.

Trekkers should be prepared for variable weather conditions and be able to walk for several hours a day, sometimes on steep and rocky terrain. While previous trekking experience is beneficial, beginners can also complete the EBC trek with proper preparation and determination.

Also, physical strength and mental stability are also equally needed. If you do not have good cardiovascular, you might get tired and exhausted. Therefore, it is essential to have good cardio.

Though mental stability does not play a direct role in trekking, having positive thoughts surely makes the trek livelier and more memorable.

Emergency and Evacuation

Safety guidelines and evacuation procedures are designed for contingency purposes in the event of unforeseen situations during the Himalayas trek.

Helicopter evacuation is the only alternative way of evacuation if you face any emergency or accident in the remote regions of the Himalayas.

Due to remote location, good quality hospitals or medical care is not available during serious medical emergencies. So, helicopters are the only choice you might have. Therefore, it is recommended that you get travel insurance that covers your medical bills and helicopter evacuation.

The trekkers are advised to confide in their trekking guide if evacuation help becomes inevitable. In this regard, the guide will cooperate with the local authorities and medical staff to have the sick person evacuated by helicopter when the need arises.

Best Time for Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek

The best time for Everest Base Camp trekking is between spring and autumn, preferably from March to May and September to November.

The weather during these seasons is usually constant, with clear skies and a moderate atmosphere. These seasons are the perfect season for hikes and sightseeing.

Spring season is the best season to see blooming rhododendron forests. At the same time, autumn is best for viewing lush mountains flourishing after monsoon rain. Autumn allows the mountains to be seen more clearly after they have been washed clean by monsoon rains.

In contrast, winter (December to February) could be really cold, making hiking challenging. But the adventure trekkers will be offered the view of sparkling mountains covered with snow.

Likewise, monsoons (June to August) are equally challenging due to heavy rain and slippery terrain. In addition, there are chances of insect bites, including leeches, and the region is prone to landslides.

Therefore, if you are looking to go on a luxury trek to EBC, it is recommended that you book your trek in advance for accommodation reservation and permit.

Weather Information

The weather conditions in the Everest Base Camp luxury trek depend on the season we choose to trek.

The cherry blossom season, called pre-monsoon (spring), from March to May, is quite comfortable with a mild temperature. The temperature ranges from 15°C to 20°C during the day, and the temperature drops below freezing at night, especially at higher altitudes.

The post-monsoon season from September to November is equally warm and has more precipitation, whereas clear skies and dry weather make it a preferred time for trekking.

Nonetheless, hikers should expect sudden weather changes and extremely cold temperatures, particularly at higher ranges during winter.

Insurance

While having travel insurance for the EBC luxury trek, it is suggested that you have one to ensure your safety, just in case.

Travel insurance is an essential part of the arrangements for a trek to the base camp of Mount Everest or any trek in the high mountains. Doing so guarantees adequate protection comparable to the nature of your trip.

It covers the costs for emergency medical bills, evacuation by a helicopter if required, or cancellations or interruptions. Furthermore, other unseen circumstances are also covered.

Roads on the trek and how to avoid them

The Everest Base Camp trek is famous for its rugged terrain and challenging trails, which are mostly dirt paths and rocky terrain.

However, there are some sections where you may encounter roads or jeep tracks, particularly in lower altitudes and near villages.

To avoid these roads and maintain the trek’s adventurous spirit, your route may be planned to take alternative trails or paths that offer a more authentic trekking experience.

Permits for EBC Luxury Trek

For this trek, you will require different permits, including a Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit and a Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit.

These permits are necessary to enter the Everest region and help fund conservation efforts and local development projects.

Additionally, trekkers may also need a TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) card, which provides information on trekkers and ensures their safety.

Over that, you will also need various entrance tickets when sightseeing in Kathmandu.

Moreover, you need not worry about any permits for EBC Luxury Trek, as we will arrange them for you.

Kit and equipment for EBC Luxury Trek

For the Luxury trek to Everest base camp, the choice of appropriate gear matters a lot – light but comfortable and safe things must be taken. There is also some general trekking equipment, such as hiking boots with good soles, moisture-wicking clothes, and a warm jacket that you must not forget to pack.

Also, you might want to carry a daypack to keep your go-to things like sunglasses, sunscreen, water bottles, cameras, batteries, etc.

You will be staying in a comfortable and warm lodge, so you don’t really need to carry a sleeping bag, but you can carry it in case. However, bringing personal items such as toiletries, medications, and a first aid kit with you is a great idea.

Trekking poles can also be useful, particularly when going on the bumpy route. Since the Everest area is likely to be rainy or windy, it is better to pack easily removable and coverable layers.

These are just some of the kits and equipment. However, you can adjust your packing gear list for EBC to fit your requirements and needs.

Trek Cost

When one pays for trekking to Everest Base Camp with Himalayan Masters, expenses such as accommodation, meals, permits, guides, and porters are liable.

The total Luxury Everest base camp trek cost is defined by criteria such as the length of a trip, the degree of luxury, and any side additional services and activities bundled into the package.

Depending on all the factors, your luxurious Everest Base Camp Trek can cost around $3000 to $5000. If you are looking to add an extra element to the luxury of the EBC trek, you can choose a helicopter return from Gorakshep after the EBC trek.

It is very important to question the details that are included in the Luxury Everest base camp trek cost to make sure that you have a picture of what the trail is expecting from you.

Carrying Additional Nepali Currency

Although most of the expenses are covered by the trek package, consider taking along some additional money as you might incur an extra expense. Extra expenses like buying souvenirs, snacks and other drinks, tips for the guides and porters, and optional activities like helicopter tours or cultural experiences.

Therefore, you are advised to exchange your money for Nepali cash in Kathmandu. ATM and online payment services at higher altitudes cannot always be relied upon.

ATM/Money Exchange en Route

The ATM access is, of course, very difficult along the EBC trek route and at higher altitudes, which are more remote areas.

Always be sure to bring some extra cash with you in Nepalese Rupee to take care of all your expenditures during your trek, including meals, drinks and any unanticipated situations.

Sometimes, lodges and guesthouses may accept credit cards, but this is not a guarantee, so always try to have cash as a backup. Also, every time you pay with a card, you need to pay an additional charge of 3.5%, which is not a wise decision.

In addition, provide your bank with the information on your travel plans so that they don’t lock down your debit or credit cards unnecessarily.

Accommodation During Luxury Trek

What makes the Everest Base Camp luxury trek so unique is the dining experience that you will have along with the adventure.

Throughout the trail, you get to stay in a luxurious accommodation and relax at the high altitudes. You get to give rest to your legs and body in the evening after a long walking day.

Each night will bring you to the room of your choice where you can enjoy all the services you expect, like a bed with a warm shower. However, the extravagance doesn’t stop there.

Everest-Base-Camp-Luxury-Trek-accommodation

Additionally, trekkers can enjoy modern amenities, with services like Wi-Fi, in-room charging plug, and many more.

However, in remote locations, such as Lobuche and Gorakshep, the accommodation might not be as good as in other places. But we ensure that you get the best accommodation over there.

Delicious food you get

For Everest base camp luxury food, you’ll be served gourmet foods prepared by expert chefs, with the only limitation being what you want to have on the plate.

Whether it’s a warm meal to reward yourself after a demanding hiking day or a special sweet to enjoy, the institutions are in place to provide you with whatever you desire.

Use of Drinking Water | Stay Hydrated

Purified drinking water is readily available at the guesthouses, ensuring that you stay hydrated throughout your journey.

Himalayan Masters also provides purification tablets. You can refill your water bottles or purchase bottled water along the trail to maintain your energy levels and stay refreshed during your Everest Base Camp luxury trek.

Moreover, it is essential that you purify water from natural sources during the trek with a water purification tablet before drinking it.

Electricity and Battery Changing

During the trek, you’ll have access to electricity to charge your devices and batteries at the guesthouses and lodges along the route. These accommodations are equipped with power outlets, allowing you to conveniently recharge your electronics.

Porter vs Solo Trekking

When trekking in the Himalayas, in the Everest region, hiring a porter or trekking sole depends on your personal preferences.

Hiring a porter can significantly reduce your heavy loads and allow you to enjoy the journey comfortably. Our local porters are well known for the terrain and locality, so they also provide insight into the region and villages on the route. They can also provide help during the emergencies.

In contrast, solo trekking gives you freedom and flexibility. For those looking for solitude, sole trekking might be perfect for them. However, it is essential to have all the information about the route, weather, accommodation, and so on for a safe trekking experience.

Tipping Culture for Porter

Tipping is an important aspect of trekking in Nepal. It is a gesture of appreciation for the dedication and hard work of your guides and porters, ensuring your safety and a fun journey.

Normally, the tips for the porter are 10% of your trek. However, you can tip them as you find fit.

Additionally, the tips you give to guides and porters go directly to them; the company does not have a cut out of it. So, you are not only supporting them, but you are also supporting their family and the sustainable tourism industry.

Responsible Trekkers

Being a responsible trekker, it is your duty to minimize environmental impacts and respect local culture.

Trekkers should be responsible for not disturbing any natural setting or littering. So, it is suggested that they do not leave any trash, carry all their litter, and dispose of them properly. Further, you can use recyclable water bottles, refill them and use them.

Respecting local culture is equally important for being a responsible trekker. Trekkers could learn some Nepali phrases for greetings and showing appreciation.

Likewise, pointing feet or fingers at others or sacred objects is regarded as rude. Also, entering the kitchen without permission could offend the lodge or teahouse owner. So, try avoiding doing so.

Furthermore, wearing revealing clothes could be regarded as an offence for some, especially if you are observing festivals or visiting sacred places. Therefore, it is advised to wear accordingly.

Supporting local businesses by staying in local accommodations and buying local products also aids in sustainable tourism.

Alternative Routes

Gokyo Lake Trek: Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lake Trek take trekkers up to the Gokyo Valley to witness the famous turquoise glacier lake, Gokyo Lakes. The lake is a group of five lakes. Also, climbing Gokyo Ri offers excellent views of Everest, Cho Oyu, and Makalu.

Three Pass Trek: Everest Three Pass Trek is a rather challenging but exciting trek in the Everest region. During the trek, you will pass through some of the highest passes in the world: Konga La, Renjo La, and Cho La, which will take you through picturesque villages and pristine landscapes.

Everest Base Camp Trek from Jiri: This trekking route is an original trek route before the construction of Lukla airport. If you want to skip the Lukla flight and add 5-7 extra days to your trek itinerary, you can consider this route.

Pikey Peak Trek: This trek is particularly known for its spectacular sunrise views of the Everest and its surrounding peaks. It is a short and less challenging trek, best suited for novice trekkers.

Extending Trip

If you are looking to extend the adventure in the Himalayas of Nepal, there are several adventurous options that you can option for.

Climbing Island Peak or Mera Peak is a popular option if you are looking to enhance the thrill and excitement of your trekking journey.

Likewise, you can choose to spend an additional few more days in your standard trek itinerary to visit Tengboche Monastery. This allows the trekkers to delve deeper into the spiritual values of Sherpa and Tibetan culture.

Also, you can choose to spend a few more days in Namche Bazaar to acclimate, shop, and relax.

Further, exploring EBC on a helicopter could be an option for those who cannot walk on a strenuous long trek or are short on time. It can also be an option if you have a short transit trip to Nepal.

Extending Trip to National Park

After completing the trek, if you still want to extend your staycation in Nepal, wildlife exploration in National Parks could be the best option.

You can visit Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site established in 1973, to explore rich wildlife. You can see various animals like one-horned rhinos, gharial crocodiles, Asiatic elephants, spiny babblers (rare bird species), etc.

Another national park that you can visit is Bardiya National Park. The national park, which was established in 1988, offers a remote setting and a chance to explore local villages and rich biodiversity.
