Arrival in Kathmandu
Upon your arrival at the international airport in Kathmandu, a representative of Beyond
The Limits Treks and Expedition will be waiting with a Company flash board on which your
name is written. As we respect Nepal, the guest is God. Our representative will welcome
you and transfer you to your booked hotel in Kathmandu. When you check in our Booked

taking a stroll around Thamel. Also known as a trekker’s paradise, Thamel is just filled with
restaurants, trekking gear stores, boutique and souvenir shops, as well as countless hotels
and guesthouses. Spend the night at your hotel, and tomorrow we head out for detailed

trek preparation in the morning and sightseeing.
After breakfast, we’ll meet up at the hotel and go over all essential gear during the trek to
Everest Base Camp. Once we’re all set and done, you will have a option to go
sightseeing of Kathmandu valley which includes various UNESCO-listed heritage sites. If
you are interested for the Kathmandu Valley day tour, please let us know.
As for the day tour, you’ll go on a sightseeing tour in Kathmandu to the Monkey Temple,
the Holy Hindu temple of Pashupatinath. This famous Mandir is dedicated to the head
deity Shiva and, according to legend, is the location of one of the tridents of Shiva. Also, a
popular burial ground, the ancient architecture and its scenic location on both banks of the
Bagmati River make this an ideal sightseeing spot. Continue on, we head for the giant
white Buddhist Stupa of Boudhanath. This enormous round Stupa is an important
pilgrimage site for Buddhists and is visited daily by people from around the world. Last up
is a stroll around the old palace squares of Kathmandu, locally named Kathmandu’s
Durbar Square. While the palaces and temples are ancient and not used, the entire area is
like a maze of cobblestone alleys filled with handicraft shops and markets. A great place to
end this sightseeing tour in Kathmandu during your Everest Base Camp trek holiday
package. 
The Trek to EBC (Everest Base Camp)
We have an early morning flight to Lukla. As the world’s 38th-highest airport, the flight is
quite adventurous. Seeing the high hills transform into the Himalayas is just incredible. The
landing can get thrilling, but it adds to the adventure! Landing in Lukla, we start at an
altitude of 2,860m/9,380ft above sea level. After meeting up with our Beyond the Limits
porter team and holding a final gear check, we set out on the Everest Base Camp trek!
Call us on: +977 9851093729 (Saroj Neupane), Chaksibari Marg, Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal
Our first destination is the village of Phakding at an altitude of 2,610m/8,563ft. Mostly
descending, we trek through lush forests along the Dudh Koshi River until reaching the
suspension bridge leading to the village. This day is perfect to get accustomed to the
Himalayan trails. After our first overnight, we have a long day ahead as it’s a straight
climb upwards to Namche Bazaar. We need to elevate by about +900m/2,953ft in a
single day. The trail consists mostly of jungle trails following the Dudh Khosi Khola. At
Monjo, we have our first permit check post as well as a short break. This marks the entry
into the Sagarmatha National Park. The feeling just gets surreal, and we head further
ascending to Namche Bazaar, also known as the biggest Sherpa village in the Everest
region!
Namche Bazaar is just amazing. Filled with everything trekkers might dream of it also
serves as a last supply post before heading on. We’ll need to stay here a day to properly
acclimatize to avoid any chances of getting acute mountain sickness. Beyond the Limits
Treks takes you on an acclimatization hike to the Everest View Hotel, from where the
first views of Everest can be seen! The hike goes up to Syangboche and then down into
the Khumjung Valley. We’ll return in the afternoon to Namche Bazaar, where we can see
Call us on: +977 9851093729 (Saroj Neupane), Chaksibari Marg, Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal
the Everest Photo Gallery and the Sherpa Museum. The next day, we continue on our
trek to Everest Base Camp and head for the region’s oldest and largest Buddhist
Monastery in Tengboche (3,867m/12,687ft), also known as Tengboche Monastery. The
views get better and better with each step, and from Tengboche, you’ll get to see those
white Himalayas contrasting against the blue sky. Standing at Tengboche Monastery
gives a spiritual feeling, and a reason for the Everest Base Camp trek
(https://www.beyondthelimitstreks.com/blog/reasons-you-will-love-everest-base-camp-trek)
, where we will be sure to explore here and see the monks performing their duties before
turning in for the night.
Our next destination is Dingboche at 4,410m/14,470ft. Serving as our second
acclimatization destination, we’ll need to head down from Tengboche and cross the Imja
Khola River to access the Imja Valley. Dingboche is also the main point for Island Peak
(https://www.beyondthelimitstreks.com/island-peak-climbing)  Climbers. Views of Mount
Everest, Mt Ama Dablam, and Island Peak are the day's main highlights. Having spent
our first night in Dingboche, we’ll hold our second acclimatization hike up to the Nagarsang
Peak with a height of 5,170m/16,962ft. It’s quite the hike, but the rewards are just
amazing. Incredible views of Mt Lobuche (6,119m/20,076ft), Mt Thamserku
(6,623m/21,729ft), Mt Kangtega (6,782m/22,251ft), Mt Ama Dablam (6,812m/22,349ft),
Taboche Peak (6,542m/21,463ft), as well as others can be seen from atop Nagarsang
Peak! We head back down to Dingboche overnight.
Call us on: +977 9851093729 (Saroj Neupane), Chaksibari Marg, Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal
Another day of trekking takes us to Lobuche (4,940m/16,210ft). Serving as a crossroads
for trekkers heading to the Gokyo Lakes (https://www.beyondthelimitstreks.com/gokyo-ri-
trekking) , it makes for the perfect place to overnight, as the next day we’ll be reaching
Everest Base Camp! It’s a short trek to Gorak Shep (5,164m/16,942ft). Following a part
of the Khumbu moraine, we ascend gradually until reaching the village. After checking
into the local tea house and dropping off heavier gear, we head out for EBC! The trail is
quite wide and follows the Khumbu Glacier. The world’s highest and longest glacier. It’ll
take about 2 hours to reach Everest Base Camp, and the feeling is just incredible. A wave
of accomplishment hits once you see the colored tents of the base camp come into view.
We spend some time exploring and making memorable memories before returning to
Gorak Shep. It’s important to get a quick sleep as the next day we hike up to Kala Patthar
hill in the early morning.
With our head torches and flashlights, we head out in the morning. It’ll still be dark, so we
make our way slowly up to the blackish hill just in time to see the sunrise rising over
Mount Everest and its neighbors. The view is incredible and breathtaking. Enjoy the
moment! After reaching back at Gorakshep and having enjoyed breakfast, we’ll be heading
Call us on: +977 9851093729 (Saroj Neupane), Chaksibari Marg, Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal
back down, making our way slowly back to Lukla. We stop at Pheriche, and back at
Namche Bazaar for an overnight stay before reaching back at Lukla airport. It is customary
to hold a celebration party in Lukla with the team, but completely optional. The next day,
we fly back to Kathmandu to conclude the 14-day Everest Base Camp trek.
How many Kilometers do I need to walk for the Everest Base
Camp Trek?
Tenzing Hilary Airport, Lukla to Everest Base Camp trek- EBC trek and return to Lukla
covering approximately 130 kilometers or 80 miles. There are a lot of sites to walk during
the Acclimatization days. That makes a few Kilometers Longer or shorter, it depends on
the package you booked.
Accommodation and Food during EBC
The Everest Trek is a guesthouse/lodge trek. The rooms will be basic with little furniture
and clean washrooms. Please note that washrooms will be shared. If you prefer a private
bathroom, the teahouses will charge an extra fee, which can be paid directly. You can
Call us on: +977 9851093729 (Saroj Neupane), Chaksibari Marg, Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal
have a private bathroom in places like Namche Bazaar and Lukla, while more the altitude
you gain more fewer chances to have a private accommodation as well as a bathroom
because of less teahouses in the area. You will get food served as per the menu of the
guest house/lodge house. You will find Nepali, Indian, and Tibetan cuisines. Besides that,
you can also buy bars and snack items on the trail. Make sure to carry a reusable water
bottle with you and refill it every time it gets empty.

last five years. In the last five years, the weather conditions in Nepal have changed and
now we recommend tourists from November to December and May to June for the
perfect trekking environment. It could be a bit chilly but the sky is clear for tourists to gaze
upon magnificent Mount Everest.
During the monsoon season from June to September, trails can be slippery, poor
visibility, and flights to and out of Lukla are often delayed or canceled. If you are looking to
trek during winter then it's best to know many of the teahouses in the trail are closed
because of the cold, however, those who like this challenge can experience and enjoy an
uncrowded trek.
If you're planning a winter trek, we’ve covered everything you need to know
about trekking Everest in the winter months

Please note: Lukla Flights are departing and returning to Ramechhap Airport instead of
Kathmandu from the 1st of April to the end of May and the 1st of October until the end
of November due to busy Air Traffic in Kathmandu Airport. It's about a 4-hour drive to
Ramechhap from Kathmandu, so we will get started for the airport around 2AM. The return
drive at the end of the trek is between 3-4 Hours, depending on traffic. You can also

Peak Climbing Opportunities in the Everest region
If you have ever dreamed of standing on top of a high Himalayan mountain, then the
Everest Base Camp trek offers more than just the base of the world's highest peak; it also
offers you a chance to climb a Himalayan summit in the same trip, with a few extra days.
These mountain peaks, also known as trekking peaks, require no professional
mountaineering background and can be summited by fit, well-acclimatized trekkers with
our local experienced climbing team.
By adding a peak climbing (https://www.beyondthelimitstreks.com/peak-climbing-in-nepal) 
to your trip, you would not only stand at the base of the world's tallest mountain - Mt
Everest, but also stand on a mountain summit surrounded by snow-peaked peaks and
beautiful scenery.
