Introduction to Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek

The Everest Base Camp luxury trek is the ultimate comfortable and fine holiday in the Khumbu region (Everest region) of Nepal. This package raises the bar of service and comfort during the EBC trek, making it one of the most remarkable trekking packages in the entire Himalayas. It is a fully guided trekking program with 5-star hotel stays in Kathmandu, helicopter flights, and luxury lodges in the mountains.

Moreover, as trekking to the Everest Base Camp is very famous, thousands of tourists travel here every year. This has allowed locals to establish fine lodges and dining experiences for trekkers who do not mind spending money for added comfort.

You will follow the classic mainstream Everest Base Camp trek route on this trip; however, spend the nights in the luxury lodges. Luxury lodges provide well-heated rooms with an attached washroom, western-style toilets, hot showers, free WiFi, and ample charging time.

Trek preparation

Trekking to Everest Base Camp requires a lot of physical and mental effort on the part of the trekkers. It is not easy or simple to trek to the base camp of of the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest (8848m). Trekkers face challenging, rugged terrain, limited modern facilities, varying weather, and high altitude.

To be able to overcome these difficulties, you need to be in a good health and in good shape. It does not matter whether you are an experienced trekker or a beginner trekker; if you are well-prepared for the trek, you can complete it successfully. To prepare for the trek, you have to exercise and go on regular, long walks.

You can follow routines that will help you build your strength, stamina, and endurance. Strength training, long walking hours, and aerobics such as cycling, hiking, jogging, swimming, etc. are recommended. Being in at least basic, decent shape will allow you to enjoy the journey much more.

Similarly, these activities will also help you mentally prepare for the trek as you gradually push your limits and get fit. You have to understand that even the luxury Everest Base Camp trek can be mentally challenging as you travel on unfamiliar terrain without the comforts of the city. So, your mental endurance and resilience matter a lot as well.

Try to embrace nature and the simplicity it carries. Leave your expectations behind and immerse yourself in nature. Do not feel uncomfortable trying different foods, accepting different opinions, and admiring different lifestyles.

Permits for Everest Base Camp luxury trek

To do the Everest Base Camp luxury trek, all foreign trekkers need two permits- the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality entrance permit and the Sagarmatha National Park permit. Our team will help you obtain permits in Kathmandu before the trek starts.

  • Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality entrance permit cost: USD 20 per person
  • Sagarmatha National Park permit cost: USD 30 per person

Everest Base Camp luxury trek difficulty

On the Everest Base Camp luxury trek, you will follow the well-established route that goes through lush forests and villages. You will share the trail with fellow trekkers, yaks, mules, and the locals. The terrain is not straightforward and includes steady ascents and descents. You will walk around 65 kilometers during the luxury Everest Base Camp trekking. 

Trekkers have to be prepared for daily 6 hours of walking, at least with their backpacks. We recommend using trekking poles for extra support as the trail is rugged. While ascending from Phakding to Namche Bazaar and Dingboche village onwards, you will come across steep and rocky sections that require extra caution and effort. 

Previous trekking experience is not required for the Everest Base Camp luxury trek. However, you have to be in decent shape to join the trek. Our Everest Base Camp luxury trek itinerary allows you to enjoy a gradual ascent and two acclimatization days. 

Altitude sickness and ways to avoid it during the trek

Starting the trek from Lukla at 2,846 meters (9,337 ft), you will ascend to Kala Patthar at 5,545 meters (18,129 ft). As the elevation rises every day, you will face thin air and a distinct environment daily. It makes the trek a bit more challenging because trekkers have to adapt a lot. Your dedication, determination, and willpower matter a lot.

The good thing about the Everest Base Camp luxury trek is that you get ample time to acclimatize and avoid altitude sickness. On top of that, comfortable and luxury lodges make your resting much more worth it. You will enjoy delicious food and soft bedding. The services will make the journey less annoying and allow you to immerse fully in nature without any distractions. 

The symptoms of altitude sickness are vomiting, headache, insomnia, loss of appetite, nausea, dizziness, breathing issues, etc. These are the early symptoms of altitude sickness. If you see them, inform your guide. He will provide you with the necessary medicines. Continue trekking only after the symptoms disappear. 

To avoid altitude sickness during the Everest Base Camp luxury trekking, follow the below instructions:

  • Ascend slowly and take your time to adapt to the environment. Do not rush while trekking, and maintain your pace. 

  • Do not skip the acclimatization hike, as it allows you to avoid altitude sickness. During the hike, you will walk high and sleep low.
  • Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration, which can lead to altitude sickness. It also means you have to avoid consuming alcoholic drinks, lots of caffeine, and cigarettes during trekking. 
  • Get plenty of rest and have good food daily. 

Travel insurance, and can you trek without it?

As we have talked about Everest Base Camp luxury trek difficulty and high altitude concerns, you can understand why travel insurance with emergency helicopter evacuation is important for this trip. Things are unpredictable in the Himalayas, whether it is weather or unseen events, so travel insurance with rescue coverage will provide you financial protection in case of emergency. 

You cannot do the Everest Base Camp luxury trek without travel insurance. Every trekker must give us a copy of their travel insurance before the trek starts. Travel insurance is not available to purchase in Nepal, so you can buy it online in your country. Make sure to add helicopter evacuation in your insurance along with medical bills and loss/theft of personal property if you wish. 

Best months to do a trek in the Everest region

A luxury Everest Base Camp trekking is possible throughout the year. However, the trek experience is different in all seasons. Trekking to the base camp of Mount Everest is much more challenging in the summer/monsoon (June to August) and winter (December to February) seasons than in spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) because of unfavorable weather and adverse trail conditions. 

The incredible elevation gain, diverse climatic zones, and different kinds of terrain makes it important for trekkers to choose the best months for trekking for a perfect journey. March, April, May, September, October, and November are the top trekking months for Everest Base Camp luxury trekking. In these months, the temperature ranges between -10°C to 25°C, which is great given the Himalayan climate. 

You will experience nights and mornings a bit colder than the daytime. You have to be well-packed for all kinds of weather and temperature. Trekking in the spring and autumn seasons allows you to enjoy beautiful rhododendron blossoms and Nepali festivals, respectively. The mountain views are clear in both seasons, and the perception chances are also low. 

Accommodation and meals during the Everest Base Camp luxury trek

As most of the trekkers who do the Everest Base Camp trek pick the standard or affordable package, the luxury side of the region has been overlooked. You can do the EBC trek while enjoying comfortable heated rooms, attached washrooms, hot showers, etc. Our Everest Base Camp luxury trek package has all of these amenities. 

Let us know in advance if you want a single room during the trek. Our team will book you the most comfortable and fantastic lodges along the trail. Likewise, in Kathmandu, you stay overnight in a four-star or a five-star hotel. If you want any specific service during the trek, feel free to inform us. We recommend you have dal bhat in the morning as it will provide you ample energy for a long walk. Likewise, incorporate soups, ginger honey teas, and other fluids in your diet. 

Guide and porter during the luxury EBC trek

Our Everest Base Camp luxury trek package has a native guide and porter service included. You only have to tip them at the end of the trek as your gratitude for their service. Other expenses of the guide and porter are covered by our package cost. We provide a professional and friendly guide for the EBC trek who can communicate in your language.

Likewise, our porters are also quite experienced and know how to navigate the trail with duffel bags, so you do not have to worry.
