Most adventure trekkers and travelers from all over the world consider Mt. Everest Base Camp to be their ideal destination. Amigo Treks and Expeditions provides a unique sleeping at Everest Base Camp Trek package to help interested trekkers fulfill their dreams on a tight budget while keeping these people's needs in mind. Trekkers can use our assistance to discover the Khumbu region's highlights, including mountain views, Sagarmatha National Park, Sherpa culture, significant monasteries, and Sherpa settlements.
Our 16-day Everest Base Camp Trek package price includes everything you need for the trek, including an airport shuttle, comfortable lodging for trekkers, three meals per day while on the trail, air transportation to and from Lukla, an English-speaking guide, porters, a trekking permit, a National Park entrance fee, and all necessary equipment for sleeping at Everest Base Camp. The package can also be tailored to fit the trekker's needs and specifications, guaranteeing a flat rate, 100% departure, and a special group discount.
This special trek to Everest Base Camp starts with a scenic flight from Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Lukla, where trekkers will be introduced to the Sherpas and the porters. We trekked for two days before the first acclimatization against acute mountain sickness (AMS) at Namche and two more days before the second acclimatization at Dingboche. Before reaching Dingboche, we also enjoy the hilltop settlement of Tengboche and the Buddhist Monastery, guarded by the awesome views of the peaks, including Tawache, Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku. From Dingboche, we set off to conquer the base camp of Mount Everest (5,364m). Gorak Shep is the last village before the base camp. Before, we also hiked up to Kala Patthar (5,550m) to enjoy the magnificent views of Mt. Everest, which is not seen from the base camp, and other surrounding peaks like Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, and Cho Oyu. After achieving the goal, we retrace the trail used earlier to get back to Lukla and catch a flight to Kathmandu.
