Overview
Everest base camp trekking takes you to the height of 5364m which is high enough to be a challenging. Everest base camp is normally done in 12 days of time frame with flight from Kathmandu to Kathmandu. Our 15 days EBC itinerary is included of the day tours of Kathmandu valley as well. But this rapid Everest Base Camp trekking is more of achieving goal of getting to the mighty Everest Base Camp. We have designed this short base camp trekking package to fit your short holiday package. In this package there is no rest day and nothing to acclimatize in the middle, so it is not fit for the first timer in the height above 4000m. As Everest has quite different landscape and weather is dramatic in the region you will be having great risk doing this trekking.
To go with this rapid schedule one needs to be physically fit, mentally sound and adventure lover. As you change the height from 500 to 1000meters per day this trekking demands high physical stamina, insurance is compulsory as this is one of the challenging task you are facing. Scenery of this trekking is great for sure with many towering mountains like: Everest 8848m, Lotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Pokalde, Pumori, Cholatse, Twaboche, Makalu, Barunse, Island peak, and many other. People; their culture and tradition resembles in the monasteries and Chhorten you see on the trail.
Itinerary
Welcome to Kathmandu. Once you reach the airport in Kathmandu, you will be warmly received by our airport representative who will help you with the transfer to the hotel on a private car or a bus. After Checking into your hotel, you can either rest or stroll around to explore your vibrant surrounding at your convenience.
You will board a 30 minute flight to Lukla early in the morning and enjoy the magnificent mountain range as you arrive at Lukla airport. There, you will be introduced to your porter if you booked one. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, you will start trekking. The walk to Phakding is a fairly easy 3 hour walk through the Dudhkosi valley. You will head north from the airstrip to Chheplung (2700m) and cross the ThadoKoshi River on a local-style suspension bridge. Just past the bridge, you can see the peak Kusum and Kanggru (6367m), which are some of the most difficult trekking peaks to climb. Beyond the ThadoKoshi, the trail climbs towards the Ghat (2590m) and crosses a ridge marked with painted Mani stones. You will continue the ascend to reach the beautiful village of Phakding where you will stay overnight.
You will start this second day through the Valley of Dudhkosi River. You will cross the Dudhkosi River 5 times on exciting suspension bridges laden with prayer flags on the way to Namche. After the last bridge, you will continue your ascent, gradually leading to Jorsale. It is a 2h30 climb up to Namche with two view points on the way. You will enjoy a mesmerizing view of Mt Everest on a clear day on the trail. At Jorsale, you will enter the Sagarmatha National park where you will need to verify your permits. After 5/6 hours of a hard walk, you will finally reach the main trading center of the region : Namche Bazaar.
Your route to Tengboche weaves in and out of side valleys, making small ups and downs, to the teashops of Kenjoma, and joins the trail from Khumjung just before a collection of Mani stones. The views of Everest and Ama Dablam are stunning. You will pass the small settlement of Sanasa from where the trail drops towards Phunkithanga (3250m). From here the trail climbs steeply through pine forests and around Mani stones as it follows the side of a hill to the saddle on which the monastery of Tengboche sits at 3870m. The view from here is rightly deemed to be one of the world’s most magnificent sceneries. Kwangde (6187m), Tawachee (6542m), Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse (8501m), Amadablam, Kantega and Thamserku provide an inspiring panorama as the Himalayan giants. You will spend the night in the Tengboche village.
You will start your trek with a descent through a beautiful forest, then cross the Imja Khola and trek through the village of Pangboche. The route continues through summer pastures to Dingboche. You will spend the night at Dingboche. It is a very relaxing village with lots of mountain views. This is an easy 3/4h walk.
You will start with a 1h30 climb to the Chorten trail. Then you will get to Thugla at 4600m to have lunch in a tea house, before climbing the steep part of the day’s trek for about 1h30. You will get closer to high mountains like Mt. Pumori and Mt. Nuptse after a while as you proceed towards Lobuche where only basic accommodation and food is provided. You will walk along a broad valley floor to Thugla, leaving behind the Trekkers Aid Post at Pheriche at 4240m. A western volunteer doctor, supported by The Himalayan Rescue Association is stationed here and offers treatment and consultation to trekkers as you continue up the valley gaining altitude. When you come out of the valley, you will descend to the yak pastures at Lobuche. Overnight at Lodge.
You will go on a 2h hike up to Gorakshep in the morning. The first part is nice and easy but the trail gets harder 1h later, which is compensated by a really nice view on big walls formed by Everest, Nuptse and other mountains. Once you climb about 150m then the trail gets easier again. Shortly after, you will get to the moraine. Finally, you will get to the world’s highest settlement at Gorakshep. After having lunch, you will walk towards Everest base camp, on a side ridge of the Khumbu glacier. After walking on the ridge for about 1h30, you will cross the Glacier and enter the Everest base camp area. You will reach your final goal by trekking to Everest base camp at an altitude of 5364m. You will get a good view of Khumbu glacier and Khumbu Ice fall. From there you can also see the big crevasses in the climbing way. After appreciating your own efforts and photographing the achievements, you will walk back to Gorakshep.
We will wake up early to walk downhill, towards Namche. It will be a long day walk. Overnight in Namche.
The trail from Namche to Lukla is mostly downhill to the flat part. You will exit the Sagarmatha National park and reach Lukla after a final effort climbing stairs. You will have the opportunity to have dinner with your guide and porter(s) and celebrate the end of your journey.
You will fly to Kathmandu early in the morning. Even the flight allows a really nice view of most of the Himalayan range. Do not forget to choose the seat on the right hand sight of the aircraft. Finally you will reach Kathmandu airport from where you will be transferred to your hotel.

Everest Base Camp TrekMake sure BJ is your guide!!
Can I just say me and my one friend went to seven different countries in a two month span and this was the HIGHLIGHT of our entire trip!! I can't say enough how amazing BJ was as our guide. He not only made it a fun time, but he took care of me personally when i was sick, carried my day pack for me so i could make it to base camp, and was worried about everyone's safety the entire trek, not to mention is a wicked dancer. I wouldn't change a single thing about this experience except to have brought warmer socks for night time! Was a trek of a lifetime and got to experience my 27th brithday on this trek, cried when i got to base camp, cried when they gave me a birthday cake in the middle of nowhere. Don't hesitate with this company or the experience, your in great hands!! Go sign up now! you only live once! -
Everest Base Camp Trek12 Day Everest Base Camp Trek Fantastic My son and I had an amazing experience with our trek to EBC. Our guide Keshab and his assistant guide/porter were excellent. They were very competent and conscientious about our safety. They were both warm and kind and we all felt like a family as we worked toward our goal. We also appreciate Chhatra prompt and effective communication pre-trek. It is obvious Chhantra has a highly regarded, professional, & connected organization. We felt this most accutely as we made our way back into Lukla. We knew coming in the weather was poor and none to few flights were making it out. The tea-house was full of people waiting for days complaining of their circumstance, frustrated with communication and mis-communication with their guide companies. We were presented clearly with the options, one of which I did not realize existed. Chhantra & Keshab did their magic and we were on the ground in KTM the next morning. I would also like to mention that not only were we treated very well by our own guide & porters, but other Nepal Eco Adventure Guides reached out with help as well. Bottom line Mr. Chhantra has a first class organization and I can't think of any reason he is not the best company in Kathmandu for trekking Nepal. -
Everest Base Camp TrekFantastic Everest Base Camp Trek! Chhatra has been very helpful from day one. Always quick with his replies to all my enquiries before we arrived. And continues to be very helpful throughout. Professional, jovial and courteous! Our guide Ram....the BEST! He helped everyone in the group. Always joking and smiley, even when handling difficult people and difficult situations. I was the slowest and he made sure that I was not left behind. Always encouraging. When my soles came off 1+hr before Namche, he taped them with strong tapes, smiling. & joking with asst guide Sudeep throughout! When my son fell ill, he took care of him tirelessly! We almost had to take the Rescue Heli back but Ram proceeded very slowly to Gorak Shep & EBC, checking his oxygen level n bp with the oxymeter regularly. We made it to EBC! It is Guides like him that makes a HUGE difference! Thank you Ram!!! -
Everest Base Camp TrekEBC We did the Everest base camp with them in April'17 and really glad we choose this company. We were a big group but had four guides with us, the organization was excellent and the route the best one in terms of acclimatization. Chattra was very responsive to our emails and very informative, and happy to jump on a call when I needed any clarification on the planning stage. Our main guide Ram(Anurag) was friendly and cheerful and always had our health as a priority, ensuring everyone was coping ok. Dhana, our assistant guide, probably is the best pace setter in the world. Following his slow but steady rhythm we could have get to the end of the world, absolutely brilliant guy. On plus side was also the oxygen level check every day, it was an excellent checkpoint and we based our decisions on diamox based on it along with Ram's advice, which I think we all got right. -
Everest Base Camp TrekEBC Trek... a once in a lifetime experience Many people spend months or years planning and prepping for their Everest Base Camp Trek. I starting looking into the trek one month before leaving the states! I reached out to Nepal Eco Adventures and in less than 6 hours Chhatra emailed me back with the best options to fit my schedule, descriptions of the different groups, prices, and itineraries. The amount of information offered right off the bat was impressive and my follow up questions were again very quickly answered. I felt like I could confidently make an informed decision and commit to my trek. From the very first email, I was certainly in competent, knowledgeable hands. Leading up to my departure from the states, Chhatra provided all the info I needed to prepare myself for my travels and the trek. Now, the trek... The trek was challenging mentally and physically, but one of the all-time greatest experiences of my life. I still think about the experience EVERY DAY. Our group was a collection of people from all over and I was the only solo female trekker in the group of 13. I always felt looked after by our guide, Ram (Anurag Basnet), and included by the rest of the group. Ram always had our safety and well being in mind -- he was constantly checking in with everyone and we had nightly oxygen saturation tests. We had 3 assistant guides that were not just assistants, but leaders and care takers for our group (thanks to the assistants Donah, Dupka, and Bikram!!). Our 6 porters were the real heroes of the bunch -- they haul all the gear and smile while doing their job! We all managed to make it up to base camp from Lukla and back down to Lukla without any helicopter intervention -- a very successful trekking experience. I chose Nepal Eco Adventures based on other reviews (I was reading about great trekking experiences and not medical evacuations or responses to health issues!!), Chattra's quick and thorough communication, and the company's commitment to supporting the local economy. They use human porters (not animals) in their treks, thus putting money in the pockets of the families in Nepal. If I had the opportunity to do it all over again, I would get on a plane tomorrow and trust Nepal Eco Adventures to get me to my destination safely. If you need tips, packing lists or any information, feel free to message me. I have a good amount of info put together. Since returning to the states 2 friends have expressed interest in trekking to EBC and without hesitation, I referred them to Nepal Eco Adventures! -
Everest Base Camp TrekEBC trek We did a 15 day trek taking in Everest Base camp, Kalapathar, Chola pass and Gokyo along the way. We were a private group of 6 friends. Prior to arrival in Nepal, Chattra answered dozens of emails, such that we knew precisely what to expect and how to prepare before flying over. This tour company also provided us with duffel bags, sleeping bags, down jackets and trekking poles where needed, all for no additional charge. Extremely useful if you don't want to buy this stuff yourself. Our tour guide Keshab had over 16 years of experience. Each evening he'd explain what to expect the next day, made sure we weren't over exerting ourselves, and advised us the best ways to complete the trek successfully. For example he gave us recommendations on start times each day, what food we should avoid, where we should drink water using purification tablets and where we should only drink bottled water, he monitored our blood oxygen levels, suggested when/when not to take diamox and gave us medicines/treatments when we were mildly sick (colds, headaches etc). He also made sure that each lodge provided what we needed as much as possible (hot showers when available, dining times etc.). I don't doubt that without our guide we would have found the trek many times more difficult. In addition to Keshab we had an attentive assistant guide (Ram), leading the way during the walks and assisting us at the lodges. We also had 3 porters (Arjun, Kamal, Dilip) who each carried 2 duffel bags each day. Each bag weighing about 15kg, normally our porters would go ahead of us so that our duffels would already be at the lodges upon our arrival. Our guides assisted us during slightly more difficult sections, even carrying our daypacks for us sometimes, and one of our porters Dilip even joined us for some of the harder walks/climbs (EBC, Kalapathar, Gokyo Ri), in case we needed additional help. I was very pleasantly surprised by the amount of assistance and service our team of guides and porters provided us throughout the entire trek. Things I would have liked to have been better prepared for - the elevation really shocked me, I didn't realise how much more difficult it is to breathe at these altitudes. Fitness is important as well if you're not used to walking or at least running long distances. The accommodation was expectedly very basic, wouldn't recommend any kind of Everest trek if you need certain comforts. Food is fairly basic as well, it's recommended not to eat any meat during the trek since everything has to be carried up the mountain and will probably not be refrigerated. I would have brought more snacks, and possibly dried meat products just to keep spirits high. I was definitely craving different kinds of foods after 2 weeks! All in all with completion of the trek and no casualties, a successful trip. The views are unique and spectacular and whilst it was very difficult at the time, I'll look back on the experience fondly. Huge credit to the Nepal Eco Adventure team. We came away with a far stronger understanding of Nepalese culture and lifestyle and of this incredible mountain range. -
Everest Base Camp TrekEBC trek May 24th 2017 Just got back from the EBC trek. My guide was Ram Karki and porter was Mekman. There was only one other trekker but we mingled with all the others at the tea houses. Ram took good care of me throughout the trek. He was easy going, helpful, caring and considerate to my needs. I struggled with the altitude and he stayed back to walk with me. I really appreciated this as I was on my own. Thank you so much Ram. The scenery was spectacular, EBC took my breath away, it is beautiful. I was unable to go to Kalapater due to altitude sickness. It hit me whilst at EBC, one minute I was fine and next my body was so weak, I needed rest. Ram helped me. I was surprised by how much harder it is to trek at altitude as at sea level I'm really strong. The food and accomodation on the trek was great. I really liked the Green Tara Hotel at Namche, they had hot showers and a very comfortable dinning area. I recommend the T-Momos, the curry was delicious. Nepalecoadventures took care of everything, flights to/from Lukla, teahouse accomodation, hotel in Kathmandu (very good hotel in the centre of Thamel), Kathmandu day tour (fantastic!). We got a free T-Shirt, pray flag and certificate. Chhatra was wonderful, email correspondence, pre and post trek organising was professional. I really liked the 900 down puffy jacket and sleeping bag. They kept me warm up at the high altitudes. I lost my iphone7 walking into Perouche, Ram and Mekman quickly left the teahouse to find it for me. I dropped it after taking a pic of a baby Yak (I love animals!). A Sherpa handed it to a couple of Westerners on the trail and Ram/Mekman got it off them. Thanks heaps for finding my phone, it had a lot of pics of Everest on it so I'm so happy you found it for me. I recommend Nepalecoadventures to anyone. They will take care of you and show you scenery that you never thought existed on earth.

Everest Base Camp Trek12 Day Everest Base Camp Trek My father and I decided only about a month in advance that we wanted to go to Nepal and see Everest. With about 2 weeks to spare, I sent emails out to multiple companies, and Chhatra was the first to respond in a matter of hours. He was quick with replying, and with only 3 days left before we arrived, we finalized a plan. He handled all of the permits and flights, and we were ready to go as soon as we arrived. Our guide, Rajendra, picked us up from the airport. I knew immediately that he was a good fit for us. He was talkative, and answered questions in a fun manner. His social skills were the only thing that got us a helicopter to Lukla! Throughout the trek, he was always very straightforward and honest with whatever we were doing. He was always there for whatever we needed, whenever we needed it. After it was over, he welcomed us into his home for dinner with his family. It was an experience that I will never forget. I highly recommend using Nepal Eco Adventure. Huge thanks to Chhatra for planning everything, and making sure that we had full flexibility with our planning. Thank you to Raj for truly making the experience what it was.

Everest Base Camp Trek"Awesome trek/guide/porter team EBC Trek late Apr - early May" Starting with Chhatra is very prompt and hands on. Sorted out all accommodation, flights, equipment, you name it. Next our guide was Raj and Lakpa and we had Bir and Marn as our porters. (had one more but unfortunately didn't get to see him during the trek) Just an awesome team (or pronounce tixxa - means awesome/good in Nepali as I was told). Our group of 7 did the EBC trek. Raj and Lakpa was very easy going, helpful and organise everything for us from breakfast, lunch and dinner to refilling our waters bottles, asked if we need anything and advising us what we been planned for the next day. They mingled and played cards with everyone. When someone was feeling sick or walking at a slower rate, Raj and Lakpa will stay with them all the way to the tea houses and Bir would lead us until they catch up. Trek itself was awesome. Going to gokyo via cho-la pass is a sight worth going for. Just like if its been photoshopped. If anyone is doing EBC trek ask for Raj, Lakpa, Bir and Marn. Highly recommended. Would come back and do another guided trek with Nepal Eco Adventure. p.s. you will never starve. Food portions are huge for me that is and thumbs up to hot lemon tea.

Everest Base Camp Trek"EBC - Best part of a round-the-world trip!" I was taking a round-the-world trip, and the hike to Everest Base Camp was definitely the highlight. The sense of accomplishment when you hit your goal with the amazing people you meet along the way is the best feeling in the world. I went solo (with an amazing guide and porter), and if you have trepidations about that, do not worry! Everyone does the same schedule, and the accommodations get more and more tight. You quickly make friends with the adventurous people around you. My guide, Ang Jeeva Sherpa was honestly the best. He's incredibly respectful, and makes so much effort to make you comfortable. On top of that, he has ambition and a visible drive to be the best guide on the mountain. He was studying plants, accommodations, and English slang when I was going up with him. Nepal Eco Adventure was definitely the most prepared in terms of medical kits and what to do when on the mountain. Some of my friends that I made along the way had the worse guide, though he was cheaper. In fact, a group of them got lost and the guide didn't get off his butt to find the group for hours. When someone from their group got a little sick and slowed down, Ang Jeeva had to lag behind to be sure everyone was okay (only because I told him it was fine since I was feeling great). Absolute amazing professional! The hike itself is not easy, but it is not as terrible as you could imagine. All I did to train was stairs a couple of times a week. Take the proper medicines prophylactically and you'll be golden. Even if you don't take prophylactics, just take it easy. Ang Jeeva made sure I took it slower than I even thought I would prefer. He took me to tons of tea houses with beautiful views and delicious warm tea. This is the mark of a real professional. Others will push you along so you'll get sick. This is a scam that bad porters and guides do to get a commission from the helicopter evacuations. The Himalayas are magical. You really do need to be immersed in the microclimate forests, weather patterns, and majestic mountains to really understand. The milky river just paints a beautiful stripe next to cliff set towns in amazing valleys. We were blessed with just perfect weather the whole way up too. I ended up being over prepared and probably could have cut back a lot. Honestly, it was an amazing trip and worth every penny I spent. The others in my group would agree, Ang Jeeva is the best guide possible. He did great with the huge group we became. Please request him by name! And bring a camera - he loves taking pictures for you.

Everest Base Camp TrekEBC trek May 24th 2017 Just got back from the Everest base camp trek. My guide was Ram Karki and porter was Mekhman. There was only one other trekker but we mingled with all the others at the tea houses. Ram took good care of me throughout the trek. He was easy going, helpful, caring and considerate to my needs. I struggled with the altitude and he stayed back to walk with me. I really appreciated this as I was on my own. Thank you so much Ram. The scenery was spectacular, EBC took my breath away, it is beautiful. I was unable to go to Kalapater due to altitude sickness. It hit me whilst at EBC, one minute I was fine and next my body was so weak, I needed rest. Ram helped me. I was surprised by how much harder it is to trek at altitude as at sea level I'm really strong. The food and accommodation on the trek was great. I really liked the Green Tara Hotel at Namche, they had hot showers and a very comfortable dinning area. I recommend the T-Momos, the curry was delicious. Nepal Eco Adventure took care of everything, flights to/from Lukla, tea house accommodation, hotel in Kathmandu (very good hotel in the center of Thamel), Kathmandu day tour (fantastic!). We got a free T-Shirt, pray flag and certificate. Chhatra was wonderful, email correspondence, pre and post trek organizing was professional. I really liked the 900 down puffy jacket and sleeping bag. They kept me warm up at the high altitudes. I lost my iphone7 walking into Pheriche, Ram and Mekhman quickly left the tea-house to find it for me. I dropped it after taking a pic of a baby Yak (I love animals!). A Sherpa handed it to a couple of Westerners on the trail and Ram/Mekman got it off them. Thanks heaps for finding my phone, it had a lot of pics of Everest on it so I'm so happy you found it for me. I recommend Nepal Eco Adventures to anyone. They will take care of you and show you scenery that you never thought existed on earth. -
Everest Base Camp TrekBeautiful Khumbu I have recently trekked in Khumbu, Nepal with Chhatra Karki, who I can highly recommend. Chhatra has an enormous amount of experience and is as knowledgeable and well equipped as any of the guides you will find in the mountains. He is a natural at his work and extremely professional in his duties, and he really made the difference on this trek – making a great trip into a truly unforgettable experience. I would use Chhatra’s services again without question, I saw many guides, some of which were substandard and didn’t really do anything more than the minimum required, their customers were complaining but I did not have a single thing to complain about. His service started as soon as I arrived in Kathmandu and lasted for the complete duration of my trip, despite some large changes of plan during the trip. He has plenty of solid international references, which checked out very well and having used him I now add myself to that list of references, please contact me if you need any further information (michaeldavies007@hotmail.com). He needs notice so if you want to use his services you will need to let him know in advance as much as possible, but if you do this he will provide you with plenty of flexibility and ensure that you get the best possible trip to Nepal. -
Everest Base Camp TrekFantastic experience - hard work, but the trek of a lifetime! I went on a 12 day trek up to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patter with Chhatra Karki Chhatra was a fantastic guide in every way. He has extensive experience of the area, knew all about the best places to stop on the way, and most importantly was very friendly and a great laugh. His English was excellent, albeit with a Scottish accent! When I struggled at the high altitude he slowed and stayed as my perseverance finally paid off, and I reached Kala Patter for sunrise. For a full description on my trek, go to stuartbarfield.blogspot.com and look for the posts on ‘EBC trek’. I would definitely recommend going in a small group with your own personal guide, not joining a large company - you miss out on the true Everest experience, plus you can come into difficultly if you get ill. -
Everest Base Camp TrekEverest up close - circular trek to base camp I travelled with a group of friends in October 2011 and has the most fantastic time. Our trip took us to Kathmandu, flight to Lukla, then walking to Namche Bazaar, via Tengboche up the valley to Chhukung then across to the Khumbu valley picking up the route to Gorak Shep, Kala Pattar (for a spectacular sunset view of Everest) and Everest Base Camp. We then crossed the Cho La pass to Gokyo for one last unforgettable view of Everest from Gokyo Ri before returning down the valley to Namche Bazaar again. Our guide was Chhatra Karki and I can unreservedly recommend him. He is a lovely bloke with an enthusiasm for his work and pride in his beautiful country which shine through everything he does. He really looked after us and as well as always being calm and cheerful he was efficient and professional. He knew the best places to stay and to eat, he adapted the schedule as necessary to suit our pace and he kept everything running smoothly. It was my first trip to Nepal but the friends I travelled with have been trekking with Chhatra for several years now and I can see why - I want to go back again next year! -
Everest Base Camp TrekAmazing Everest Base Camp Trekking In September 2013 I went to Nepal alone as a woman to explore Nepal and go trekking.From the beginning, Nepal Eco Adventure organized everything really well, they picked me up and took me to a great hotel in the middle of Kathmandu. After 2 days of sightseeing I started trekking to Everest Base Camp and KalaPathar. My guide was Chhatra Karki, he was more than great, professional, helpful and really experienced. I wasn't sure what it would be like to do a trek like this on my own as a young female traveler, but Chhatra made me feel comfortable and seemed to intuitively know when I needed help and when I needed space. I felt very safe throughout and he explained me very interesting things about nature and culture. It felt like trekking with a friend I know a long time, which was great. Chhatra knew so much people in the teahouses along the way and he had a good relationship with all the people there. Every day he was open and flexible for my ideas, we did some great and isolated side trips and everyday was an adventure.The highlight was the peak day on Kala Pathar with sunrise behind the Mount Everest in the early morning. The trip was one of the best things I ever did and there could have been no better company and guide for me to organize that! After coming back to Kathmandu, Nepal Eco Adventure organized a relaxing trip to Chitwan National Park to do some Elephant Back Safaris and to watch Rhinos in the jungle and a trip to Pokhara. Within this time of the side trips they organized my Indian Visa and everything worked out perfectly. The whole stay in Nepal was well organized and just awesome, I cannot recommend this company enough! I felt safe all the time and I can recommend Nepal Eco Adventure to all females who want to travel alone.Highly recommended to all people who want to explore Nepal in an authentic and amazing way! -
Everest Base Camp TrekBest trek yet! Nepal Eco Adventure has been very pleasant, friendly and professional the entire time we were in Nepal and on our trek. Received a warm welcome at the airport from Ramesh who later turned out to be our guide for the Everest base camp trek. Then to the office to meet Chhatra, the owner, who provided good information and cleared any doubts about the trek and safety. It was assuring to know that the owner and staff were experienced trekkers. The trek was a very good experience; Ramesh and Nikhil, the assistant guide, took really good care of us. One of my friends unfortunately suffered altitude sickness and had to leave the mountain accompanied by Ramesh. In his absence, Nikhil stepped up and we were able to finish the trek with no issues. There were no communication issues and overall had a good time. Turns out Nikhil loves playing cards and dancing (he's a good dancer too) which provided wonderful entertainment! Even the porters carried our bags and served us with a smile which was unexpected and excellent! The fruit platter every evening after dinner was a splendid touch. If/when I come back to Nepal for trekking, I'll be reaching out to them again. Definitely recommend the company. Thank you for the great experience. Cheers!

Everest Base Camp TrekA Memorable Experience! I only have great things to say about Nepal Eco Adventure. Me and two friends decided to trek to Everest Base Camp over Christmas. I contacted Chhatra and he was professional, knowledgeable, and very quick to respond. He was able to accommodate our group for the dates we wanted at a great price, and was able to advise on logistics and gear. All safety concerns were addressed beforehand, so we arrived in Nepal ready for an amazing adventure. Throughout the trek, the guides and porters were incredible. They made sure we were all well fed and had everything we needed for a great trip. I had the unfortunate situation of becoming sick early on in the trek. I had terrible gastric issues followed by symptoms of acute mountain sickness and, in the end, needed to be heli-rescued from the Everest region (Note: this is rare- so don't let that deter you!). The guides Ramesh and Nik monitored me the whole time and put my wellness as their priority. I was taken to a hospital in Kathmandu where Ramesh and Chhatra checked in with me regularly and made sure I was okay. After I recovered in hospital, I now had a few days free, so Chhatra helped me arrange a side trip with Ramesh to Pokhara and Austalian Camp to view the Annapurna Mountain Range at sunrise. All to say, the care and consideration from Chattra and his team were there the entire time I was in Nepal, and they made sure my trip would be a memorable one despite having to cut the trek short. If you're looking for prompt and attentive correspondence; very experienced and personable guides; and a team with a high level of service who makes your health and safety their main priority, then I definitely recommend booking with Nepal Eco Adventure. You will not be disappointed.

Everest Base Camp TrekChristmas in Nepal Nepal Eco Adventures is fantastic. Well organized, friendly, safe, and reliable. I spent my Christmas vacation hiking to Everest base camp, and exploring the city of Kathmandu. If you've ever thought about hiking to Everest base camp, definitely contact Chhatra Karki to organize it. If you're lucky, you'll get to spend the adventure with the same porters and guides that I got to spend my time with. Nik and Ramesh were excellent guides. They made sure our trip was safe, informative, and entertaining. Beyond that, they took care of my friend when he began suffering the effects of altitude sickness. The food and lodgings along the trek were topnotch. Exploring Kathmandu was a feast for the senses. Go to Nepal. Book with Nepal Eco Adventures. Whenever I return (and I will return), I'll definitely be booking with Nepal Eco Adventure again.

Everest Base Camp TrekA Christmas Wonderland I highly recommend Nepal Eco Adventures for trekking in Nepal. The staff are great and their level of service surpassed all expectation. Chhatra, Ramesh, Nek and our are porters made the Everest base camp trek an unforgettable experience. During the trek our guides Ramesh and Nek gave a good insight into local culture and catered to our needs wherever possible. They kept us smiling the whole time and allowed us to build a fantastic team spirit throughout the journey. If, and when I go trekking in Nepal again I will definitely be using Nepal Eco Adventures.

Everest Base Camp TrekFantastic Experience I completed the Everest Base Camp and 3 high passes Trek with Nepal Eco Adventure in November 2014 and it was a fantastic experience, made even better by the exceptional service provided by Chhatra at Nepal Eco Adventure. I had contacted several trekking companies and decided to go with Chhatra as he is a genuinely nice guy, understands clients want good service with good guides and does everything he can to provide this. He loves to travel also and as a result understands the needs of a modern traveler. I trekked solo for 17 days with an excellent guide and was impressed with the standard of the tea houses and the quality of food provided. The walk itself was phenomenal, there aren't enough adjectives to describe how beautiful it is up there! The great thing for me was the flexibility of the trip, I had the ability to add on days if I needed to (I did get some AMS and was glad of this option) and change the literary if I wanted to. They deserve their 5 star rating and I couldn't recommend them enough if you're planning on trekking in Nepal! -
Everest Base Camp TrekOverall a fantastic experience that we would recommend 100% My friend and I (Females ages 22) have just got back from an amazing trip and without a doubt our trek was a major highlight! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Chhatra who took us to the office and went through everything with us, and sorted out walking poles and sleeping bags. Chhatra was extremely helpful and informative and made us feel very welcome on our first day travelling! The trek itself was fantastic, the views were amazing and and accommodation throughout was great! Chhatra was extremely helpful and flexible with everything allowing us to fit in all we had wanted to. Once back in Kathmandu Chhatra kindly warned us of flight delays that may affect us and was extremely helpful in finding out what was happening and whether or not our flight has changed. Overall a fantastic experience that we would recommend 100%!
