1. Your safety is of imperative concern while traveling with Highland Expeditions. Please take care to note that your leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to your safety concerns. Every effort will be made to keep to the above itinerary; however, since this adventure entails traveling in remote mountainous regions, we cannot guarantee that we will not deviate from it. Weather, health condition of a group member, unexpected natural disasters, etc., can all contribute to changes in the itinerary. The trek leader will try to ensure that the trip runs according to plan, but please be prepared to be flexible if required.
2. During peak season months (April, May, October, and November), all STOL/Plane flights to and from Lukla will operate from Ramechap airport instead of Kathmandu airport. This change aims to ensure smoother flight operations, avoiding air traffic and delays. Ramechap airport is 130 km east of Kathmandu, requiring a 4-hour drive. Travelers during these months need to wake up around 2 a.m, drive to Ramechap, and board a 15-minute flight to Lukla. Return flights follow the same process.

Today is the most important part of our trip. We start early at dawn to catch the dramatic views from Kalapatthar, witnessing the first light of day shining on Mt. Everest. During the ascent to Kalapatthar, we can pause to catch our breath at several outstanding viewpoints and click pictures. As we reach the top, we sit on the Kalapatthar rocks, and our eyes take in the unbelievable Himalayan views, wandering from one mighty massif to another. We take as many pictures as we possibly can with our camera so they can last a lifetime. After this, we make our way back to Pheriche with a slow descent for a good night’s rest, which we truly deserve.

Our last day of trek follows the Dudh Kosi River down to Lukla. After our steep descent from Namche, it’s only a gradual walk along the Dudhkhosi River. We’ll have lunch on our way and make the final climb up to the airstrip at Lukla. The rest of the day is free, and you can relax under the warm sun & reflect on the emotional experiences we had while hiking through these massive mountains that have probably helped us re-discover ourselves in ways we least expected. We celebrate our successful trek completion with our Sherpa guides and porters whom we’ve gotten to know so well & are now good friends. We then slumber into blissful sleep.

Immersing in Sherpa Culture and Traditions on the EBC 14 Days Trek
The Sherpas of Solukhumbu district are one of the Tibetan ethnic groups with a rich and complex cultural heritage. Their culture influences Tibet, the Himalayas, and the Nepalese. They follow Tibetan Buddhism, influenced by the pre-Buddhist Bon religion of Tibet. Likewise, they speak a language closely related to Tibetan. Moreover, the prominent villages showcasing the region’s cultural heritage during the 14-day EBC trek are Namche Bazaar, Khumjung, Tengboche, and Dingboche.
Have you ever heard about Sherpa culture and tradition? No? Then, you must have heard about the bravery of the Sherpas when it comes to mountaineering. Still, if you haven’t heard, worry not, as the journey to Everest Base Camp provides you with deep insight into the Sherpa Culture and its history. The Everest region is home to Sherpa communities, and trekkers pass through their villages, visit monasteries, and witness their way of life, providing an immersive experience in Sherpa Culture and tradition.
Weather and Temperature of Everest Base Camp During Spring and Autumn
Spring and Autumn are ideal times for trekking to Everest Base Camp due to the mild temperatures and perfect weather. Spring, from March to May, and Autumn, from September to November, have pleasant temperatures and relatively warm weather, making them the best times for trekking in Everest Base Camp. Here are the weather and temperatures Everest Base Camp faces during the Spring and Autumn months:

How do we prevent altitude sickness during the Everest Base Camp Trek 14 days?
Altitude sickness is a significant concern in high-altitude treks like Everest Base Camp; thus, trekkers must be prepared and understand the preventive method while going on the EBC Trek. But before heading for its preventive measures, let’s first understand altitude sickness; it is a condition in which a trekker’s body struggles to adapt to lower oxygen levels at high elevations. Altitude sickness is also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) and has three forms: the first and normal phase, altitude sickness; the second, a potentially life-threatening condition, High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE); and third, a severe and possibly fatal form, High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE).
- Trekkers should be aware of the first phase so that a potentially life-threatening condition won’t occur. Thus, understanding how to prevent altitude sickness during the
- Everest Base Camp Trek is crucial. Here are the ways to treat altitude sickness: Trek steadily while allowing your body to adapt to changing temperatures and altitudes.
- Choose an itinerary plan that involves acclimatization in key locations like Namche Bazaar and Dingboche.
- Do not hike more than 300-500m/ 1,000-1,600ft daily.
- Stay hydrated throughout the trek with the aim of 3-4 liters of water daily to stay hydrated, as dehydration worsens altitude sickness.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol as they lead to dehydration.
- If you get any symptoms of altitude sickness, stop immediately and listen to your body instead of pushing through the symptoms.Take medicines like acetazolamide
- (Diamox) to prevent symptoms of altitude sickness. These medicines help the body adapt faster to lower oxygen levels.
- Avoid overexertion, especially at higher elevations.
- Consume carbohydrate-rich meals as they help maintain energy levels.
- Avoid smoking as it interferes with oxygen absorption and increases the AMS risk.
Alternative Treks of Khumbu Region
Gokyo Lake Trek
The Gokyo Lake Trek is one of the popular alternative routes to the Khumbu region, taking in the series of six glacial lakes. The journey to Gokyo Lake begins with a flight to Lukla from Kathmandu and follows the route to standard Everest Base Camp up to Namche. From Namche, the trail diverges, and trekkers reach their destination, Gokyo, by taking the route via Dole and Macchermo. Gokyo Ri is the prominent highlight of the trek along with Gokyo Lakes. At 5,357m, Gokyo Ri is the highest elevation trekkers get on the journey and a prominent viewpoint offering jaw-dropping sight of mountain ranges, including Mount Everest.Â
Everest Three High Passes Trek
The Everest Three High Passes Trek is among the most challenging and equally rewarding journeys through the Khumbu Valley. The trek combines the three high-altitude passes of the region: Renjo La Pass (5,465 m), Kongma La Pass (5,535 m/18,159 ft), and Cho La Pass (5,420 m), making it a demanding trek. Start with a flight to Lukla. The trek can be done clockwise or anticlockwise, depending on the trekkers’ preference and chosen itinerary. Additionally, each pass comes with challenges and rewards, making the journey a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Ama Dablam Trek
Ama Dablam Trek is another ideal alternative route to the Everest region. The route to Ama Dablam is the same as EBC, which goes up to Pangoboche and diverges from there. This short trip can be completed within 11 days, making it one of the best alternative routes. The highlight of the Ama Dablam Trek is standing at the foot of Mount Ama Dablam and witnessing numerous mountain peaks, including Ama Dablam itself, Mount Everest, Lhotse, Island Peak, Pumori, Thamserku, and other surrounding peaks.
Details on Lukla from Kathmandu and Ramechhap
The journey to the Everest region’s destination primarily begins after reaching Lukla. Flights to Lukla are available from both Kathmandu and Ramechhap. Although it is easy and convenient to fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, travelers must take the flight from Ramechhap during the peak season due to the Kathmandu airport’s congestion. Likewise, per the new regulation of the aviation board, all the flights to Lukla will be diverted from Ramechhap during the Peak season (Spring and Autumn).
The flight from Katmandu’s domestic airport to Tenzin Hillary Airport of Lukla takes 30 minutes, whereas it takes only 15 minutes from the Manthali airport of Ramechhap to Lukla. However, it takes 4-5 hours to drive from Kathmandu to Ramechhap, making it a long journey. Yet, whichever airport you fly from, you’ll get an amazing aerial view of the Himalayas through the bird’s eye. In addition, the flight ticket from Kathmandu to Lukla costs $215 and US$186 from Ramechhap.Â
How Difficult is the EBC Trek?Â
The Everest Base Camp 14-day trek is considered difficulty in terms of grade due to high altitudes and longer duration hikes. The trail is relatively easier following good paths and yak trails, but it’s graded challenging due to the increasing altitude. Please be prepared to walk for 6-7 hours every day on average, carrying your backpack, which will consist of your valuable items, water, extra fleece, snacks, etc. Longer treks reach up to an elevation of 5500m, where some of the famous mountaineering Base Camps are located, and you need to sleep at an elevation of 5000m for 2 nights at Gorekshep and Everest base camp.
Solo or Group Trek to 14 days EBC trek? Which one to choose?
Due to the new rules and regulations made by the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) and Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN), trekkers have no authority to choose solo or group treks for the 14-day Everest Base Camp trek. Per the recent rule, trekkers can no longer trek solo in Nepal’s Himalayas for safety purposes. Trekkers must travel with a licensed trekking guide for their safe and enjoyable travel. However, before the regulation, trekkers could choose whether to trek solo or guide. Still, we always suggest that trekkers travel with a guide.
Even in group trekking, trekkers must be accompanied by a guide. A group trek is ideal for trekkers who want companionship. Similarly, a group trek is perfect for those on a tight budget, as the cost of trekking with a group will be less than trekking solo. Trekking in a group also reduces the risk of getting lost or facing emergencies alone. Likewise, while trekking in a group, trekkers get motivated and supported by other group members during tough sections of the trail. Moreover, group trekking in the 14 days of the EBC trek brings a positive atmosphere and increases enjoyment.
Acclimatization Day in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche
Acclimatization is key for a successful trek to Everest Base Camp. The 14-day EBC Trek package includes two acclimatization days throughout the trek at Namche Bazaar and Dingboche. On acclimatization day, trekkers first hike up to the Everest View Hotel, from where the view of Everest is exceptional. Afterward, the trekker will go to Khumjung and Kunde villages, two prominent Sherpa villages of the region. There, they can learn more about the Sherpa culture by visiting Khumjung Monastery, Khumjung Airport, and the school built by Sir Edmund Hillary.
Another acclimatization day on the 14-day Everest Base Camp Trek is at an altitude of 4,340m, Dingboche. On this day, trekkers hike to nearby viewpoints, either Nangkartshang Peak (5,083m) or Chhukung Ri (5,546m). Both viewpoints are awesome and offer extraordinary views of mountain peaks and the Khumbu Valley. Yet, Nangkartshang Peak is a popular one, offering stunning views of Mount Ama Dablam, Tawache, Island Peak, Lhotse, Everest, and Pumori.
Transportation option of EBC 14 days trek
Airway and ground transportation are two popular transportation options for the EBC 14-day trek. Airways offer flights to Lukla or a helicopter ride to Lukla. However, a flight to Lukla is more popular than a helicopter ride. Still, both options are unique and showcase the bird’s gaze of Nepal’s Himalayan areas up close.
Furthermore, ground transportation is also available, but not directly to Lukla. If trekkers want to take a long drive instead of a short flight to Lukla, they should take a bus from Kathmandu to Salleri to Phaplu, which takes around 8-10 hours. From Salleri/ Phaplu, trekkers should start trekking, which takes 2-3 days to reach Lukla.

Everything Taken Care Of for a Great Trip
Everything Taken Care Of for a Great Trip
I feel I must write to thank Highland Expeditions for the trip of a lifetime.
All we had to do was turn up, walk and enjoy. Highland Expeditions offered everything as promised and took care of all arrangements. The booking procedures, the documentation and advice given helped us to prepare for the trip very well.
The boys were always extremely helpful. The team at Highland Expeditions went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful holiday experience.
Perfectly Organized Trek with Professional and Courteous Service
Perfectly Organized Trek with Professional and Courteous Service
I would like to thank Passang and his team at Highland Expeditions for organising and running the trek just so perfectly. Highland Expeditions was professional and courteous from the initial booking to the end of my trip. Very efficient and well informed that help me plan my trek appropriately.
Trip of a Lifetime with Unmatched Support and Care!
Trip of a Lifetime with Unmatched Support and Care!
I can’t say enough good things about traveling with Highland Expeditions! From communication and information before the trip, to getting me out of Lukla during bad weather after the trek, I felt really lucky to be with Highland Expeditions.
I made it to EBC with no altitude sickness, had an amazing local guide who helped me go at a slow pace and knew all about the region. I felt safe (as a solo young female traveler) the entire time, and reaching EBC was one of the highs of my life!
Passang organized a custom solo trip for me. He answered all of my questions before and during, did all of my airport transfers and set up a really great tour around Kathmandu with a private guide for one of my extra days.
More than anything though, I knew I went with the right tour company when all flights were cancelled to and from Lukla due to the weather after the trek. After only two days of being stuck, Passang got me the last spot on the last helicopter leaving for that day (only 2 helicopters had gone in days). Everyone else at my lodge was still stuck, some people for almost 8 days. To get a helicopter you HAVE to have someone with connections in Kathmandu and Passang made sure I got out and made my international flight.
This trip was the trip of a lifetime for me! Every day was filled with the most amazing views I’ve ever seen and I will remember it for the rest of my life! I think everyone should do this trip and use Highland Expeditions!
