 Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty

With its final elevation reaching 5,346m, the Everest Base Camp Trek presents a considerable challenge compared to lower-altitude treks. Altitude sickness is a potential risk, emphasizing the importance of acclimatization in the trek itinerary. While the difficulty level of the trek is moderate, it primarily stems from the constantly increasing elevation. Previous trekking experience is not a prerequisite for undertaking this remarkable journey in the Khumbu region, although having some trekking background can be beneficial. Hence, this renowned trek can also be considered suitable for beginners, earning it the name of Everest Base Camp Trek for beginners.

Best Season for Everest Base Camp Trek

Afterward, you will be provided with comfortable accommodation for the night. The next day, before starting the trek, there will be a pre-trek briefing where you will receive detailed information about the trekking program. During this time, any last-minute arrangements or questions can be addressed.

While you are in Kathmandu at the early stage of the trek, you can take the opportunity to explore the city and its surroundings through short hikes in the local streets. This will give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the surroundings and experience the vibrant culture and authenticity of the Nepali people.

The day will conclude with your first overnight stay in the Kathmandu Valley, immersing yourself in the local atmosphere, cultural richness, and hospitality of the Nepali people.

On day 2, in the early morning, we take the fantastic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla at 2827m. Built by Sir Edmund Hillary and the Sherpas in the mid-1960s, the flight time is about 40 minutes to the airstrip. This flight of true vision in space gives you box office views of some of the highest mountains in the world, right from the window of your plane. After a successful landing, we will have time to explore the village while the Sherpa crew sorts out and load the trekking equipment.

After breakfast, we begin the trek by descending towards the Dudh Kosi River, where we join the main trail to Namche Bazaar, just above Chaurikharka at 2713m. The walking is easy and after passing through the small village of Ghat at 2550m, it’s a short walk to the first local village of Phakding where we’ll crash out for the night.

  • Time:3 hour

Starting off from Phakding, we cross the river and head up the valley where we’ll see porters from the south ferrying supplies to Namche. The path accumulates close to the river valley and is lined with beautiful blue pine and rhododendron forest that is really beautiful in the months of spring when the flowers are in stunning colorful bloom. We cross the Dudh Kosi at Benkar where there are earliest glimpses of the snow peaks Kusum Kanguru (6369m) and Thamserku (6623m). Eventually; it is only a short walk to Monjo (2835m) where we arrive in time for lunch.

On day 3 afternoons, the hiking is pretty roughshod and includes the steep ascent to Namche Bazaar. From Monjo, it is a brief walk to the entrance of the National Park before we cross the Dudh Kosi to Jorsale at 2805m. The trek advances upstream on generally flat terrain, crossing back to the right bank, to the confluence of the Bhote Kosi and Dudh Kosi rivers. From here, we begin the steep ascent to Namche Bazaar. After crossing a broad and stable suspension bridge high above the river, we slowly ascend at a steady pace toward Namche. Amazing photographic opportunities can be found as the peaks of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Tawache (6542m) come into view for the first time. After reaching at the capital of the Khumbu region - Namche, we’ll have lunch and the afternoon is free to bargain in the shops for 'Tibetan' artifacts, or relax and marvel at lovely surrounding landscapes.

We remain at Namche for a second night to allow for proper acclimatization to get our bones set for the higher elevations to come. Namche is a bustling prosperous village that’s now become more like a town, situated in a large protected hollow. It achieved its importance during the period when Tibetan salt was traded for the lowland grains of Nepal. This day, a limited amount of trade subsists at Namche, and Tibetans are often seen in the village trading rugs and Chinese-made goods, clothing, salt, and dried meat. It is suggested that you take the opportunity to see both the sunrise and sunset views from the National Park Headquarters above the village. The view is marvelous and offers a superb panorama of the Khumbu peaks with great views of Everest. After breakfast, there are a number of choices: perhaps a walk towards Thami (3810m) above the scenic Bhote Khola river valley, or a visit to the National Park Headquarters to see the intriguing displays of Sherpa lifestyle and culture. You can see a mountaineering display and details of the park’s flora and fauna. Your guides will be on hand to offer advice and escort you on your walks.

Leaving Namche after breakfast, you'll follow the trail along the side of the Dudh Kosi River. Here you can see the four giant peaks of the Khumbu region: Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. After passing through a number of villages and tea shops, descend steeply to Phunki Tenga's bridge. The village is an ideal stopover for lunch and rests before climbing Tengboche. Although this next zigzag path is tiring, your views will include picturesque rhododendron forests, colorful birds, and superb mountain scenery. Tengboche is famous for its legendary monastery, the largest in Khumbu. A spectacular panorama of the aforementioned peaks can be seen from where you'll stop for the night.

In distinction to Tengboche, we go up through the ridge of Imja Khola. On the way keep an eye open for Blood and Danphe Pheasant, Musk Deer, and, high on the steep slopes of the valley, the Himalayan Thar. Gradually moving upwards and downwards to the village of Pangboche where the peak of Ama Dablam dominates the skyline. Lunch will be taken here or in Somare. In the noon, our route ascends gradually, high above the Imja Khola, passing the tea houses at Orsho before crossing the Imja Khola and old glacial moraines to our lodge in the settlement of Dingboche.

  • Max. Altitude:4084m
  • Accommodation:Lodge
  • Time:7 hour
  • Meals:1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea.
  • Walking Distance:10km

Getting used to the altitude change is best accomplished by spending a day at Dingboche. Rest days are intended to allow your body to acclimate by trekking high and sleeping low. It is essential to acclimatize during a trek in order to cope with the thin air at higher altitudes. In conjunction with an acclimatization hike to Nangkartshang Peak (5083m), one such rest day at Dingboche is included in the Everest Base Camp trek. In the distance are Ama Dablam (6812m), Makalu (8485m), Lhotse (8516m), Kantega (6782m), and Cho Oyu (6160m). The peak lies right above Dingboche (4350m) and offers spectacular views of Ama Dablam, Makalu, Lhotse, Kantega, and Cho Oyu. The ascent may take you two to three hours, depending on your speed. From here, one can see Ama Dablam, one of Nepal's most picturesque peaks.

  • Walking Distance:4km

After a sunny breakfast in the morning, we ascend the small ridge behind the village above the Pheriche Valley. From the chorten at the top, the Tawache and Cholatse (6440m) peaks make for a striking scene as they seem to lean forwards from across the valley in the west. To the north, Lobuje Peak (6119m) and the snowfields of the Cho La dominate the skyline. The walking is now fairly flat on wide-open fields, but do take your time and ensure you are well-hydrated. We cross the Khumbu Khola at Dughla (4620m) in the morning and have a light lunch at the foot of the huge moraines of the Khumbu Glacier flowing off Everest. In the noon, there is a solid and quite steep climb on a rocky trail to the top of the moraines. On the peak of the ridge, we pass a line of memorial cairns which were built in memory of the Sherpas and climbers who have died on various Everest expeditions over the last 50 years.

From here there are magnificent sights of Pumori 7145m, Lingtren 6697m, Khumbutse 6623m, and, across the border in Tibet, Changtse 7550m, can be seen at the head of the valley. Everest is still concealed behind the towering walls of Nuptse and Lhotse. We comply with the valley stream to our lodge at Lobuje. Today is a taxing day but the fantastic scenery makes it all very worthwhile. In the early afternoon we arrive, if you still have some energy and conditions are clear, a walk up onto the large ridge at the rear of the inn can reward you with even more fabulous views. 

  • Max. Altitude:4930m,
  • Accommodation:Lodge
  • Time:7 hour
  • Meals:1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea.
  • Walking Distance:11km

After Lobuche, we comply with the broad valley running parallel to the Khumbu glacier. A gradual climb enables you to build the slow, steady rhythm required when walking at a high altitude. Once we reach the moraines of the Changri Nup Glacier we make a series of small ascents and descents over a rocky trail lined with cairns that leads eventually to the startling glacial sands of Gorak Shep where we will stay overnight. We’ll arrive in time for lunch and a quick rest before setting off for Everest Base Camp. The path can sometimes lead to difficulty to follow so keep an eye on your guides and fellow trekkers in this section.

The trek to base camp can be achieved in around nine hours. In the popular climbing period of March to May, if you are trekking, we’ll almost certainly encounter yaks and porters supplying food and equipment to Everest expeditions. From base camp, we do not get views of Everest but we will be able to see the notorious Everest Ice Fall that flows from the Western cwm. This is considered the technically hardest and most dangerous section of the mountain. 

  • Max. Altitude:5160m
  • Accommodation:Lodge
  • Time:7 hour
  • Meals:1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea.
  • Walking Distance:11km

In the early morning, we will make a steep ascent to Kala Patar. You will need to begin very slowly and try to ascend at a steady rhythmic pace. Our aim, Kala Patar, is the rocky hilltop below Pumori. It is a difficult walk due to the altitude but the view from the top is a spectacle to remember for a lifetime. It might take one hour and a half to reach the summit from Gorak Shep, although lower viewpoints will provide views almost as good. We are surrounded by Pumori, Nuptse, Changtse, Ama Dablam, Tawache, Kantega, and Everest. The area of Everest Base Camp can be seen in a bowl at the bottom of the Khumbu Ice Fall about 3kms away in distance and some 200m below. For most trekkers, reaching Kala Patar is a very emotional experience and it is worthwhile spending as long as you can to relish this special moment. The climb back down to Gorak Shep is easy.

Today it is downhill most of the way, as we retrace our steps to Duglha and descend to Pheriche. A trekkers’ aid post here by The Himalayan Rescue Association and it is quite interesting to visit. After finishing lunch, we cross the Khumbu Khola on a wooden suspension bridge and follow the valley to Pheriche. The climb downwards through Lobuche to Pheriche and on a clear day, there are still stunning views of silver-grey mountain landscapes that gleam in the sunshine.

  • Max. Altitude:4252m
  • Accommodation:Lodge
  • Meals:1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea

After leaving Pheriche, we cross the Khumbu Khola and begin our ascent up a short but steep trail that leads to the top of a small ridge. From this elevated position, we are rewarded with magnificent views of the Imja Valley, with the majestic peaks of Ama Dablam and Kantega dominating the landscape. Taking in the breathtaking scenery, we continue our descent toward the charming settlements of Orsho and Shomare.

In Orsho and Shomare, we pause for a delightful lunch, replenishing our energy for the rest of the journey. With renewed vigor, we resume our trek, passing through Lower Pangboche on our way. As we traverse the trail, we eventually reach a suspension bridge that spans the Imja Khola River. Crossing the bridge, we retrace our steps, retracing our path through Deboche and Thyangboche. The familiar sights and surroundings bring a sense of nostalgia as we make our way back, reflecting on the incredible journey we have experienced thus far.

As we begin our day with an early breakfast, we descend steeply through the enchanting forests adorned with juniper, rhododendron, and fir trees. The trail leads us to Phunkitenga, where we take a well-deserved break, perhaps enjoying a cup of tea to rejuvenate ourselves. Crossing the Dudh Kosi River, we continue our ascent, climbing towards Trashinga.

The path follows a contour above the valley, passing through the scenic village of Shanasa. With each step, we are greeted by captivating views of the surrounding landscapes. As we continue our trek, the terrain gradually becomes more level, allowing for a comfortable walk towards Namche Bazaar, where we stop for a delicious lunch. After replenishing our energy, we begin our descent towards Manjo, where we will spend the night, cherishing the memories of our journey.

On this day, we embark on the final leg of our journey toward the culmination of the Everest Base Camp trek. The trail ahead is relatively short, taking us through the valley as we make our way to the last climb that leads us to the Lukla airstrip. Although the walk is brief, anticipation and excitement fill the air as we reflect on the incredible adventure we have had.

Upon reaching Lukla, we are greeted with a warm welcome and a delicious lunch at the lodge. With the remainder of the day at our disposal, we have the opportunity to explore the surroundings and soak in the beauty of the region. In the evening, we gather together for a farewell dinner, celebrating the successful completion of our trek. As we raise our glasses in celebration, we reflect on the memories we have created amidst these rugged yet extraordinary mountains.

With hearts full of contentment, we savor a delightful meal and retire for the night, finding solace in the embrace of a serene moonlit sky adorned with countless twinkling stars. At this moment, we are reminded of the wonders of the world and the profound experiences we have had throughout our journey.
