Why trek with eveRtrek?

We get it – travel’s a big decision. It’s not every day you fly across the world to wander the streets of Thamel in Kathmandu or enjoy a dreamy Everest sunrise.But for us, it’s been our everyday for the past two decades (yes, we’re old). Let’s just say we know what travellers really want as we have been there: a balance of inclusions and free time, a mix of classic highlights and local secrets you won’t find on Google. And of course, an authentic real life experience.

Great customer feedback

We have over 100 online reviews for our Nepal treks, with an average satisfaction rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. We know how to get you to destinations like Mt Everest and have a 95% success rate on our high altitude treks which is way above the industry standard 60%.

Excellent local trekking guides

We only use local experienced guides, some with over 15 years’ experience of leading customers to places like Mt Everest. Their local knowledge and understanding of the often changeable mountain conditions is second to none. As we use local guides, this means that the vast majority of your money will go straight to the destination and help build employment and grow the local economy. What finer way to visit a country than knowing you will be supporting its local communities whilst also enjoying yourself at the same time.

We’re personal

As a smaller company we are able to remain customer focused and provide you with a far more personalised service than our larger competitors. We pride ourselves on our personal, approachable service, from your initial enquiry all the way through to the small, but essential details.

We also understand the need for balance. Time is your most precious resource, especially on a trip like an Everest trek. That’s why our trips are built with balance in mind. A little group time, a little you time – the way it should be.

We can’t think of anything better than helping people get out of their comfort zone, fulfil their dreams and tick things of their Bucket List!

“Overjoyed with my recent trip to EBC.”I can’t praise Evertrek enough. From the 1st day I contacted Andy he has

been amazing. Offering fantastic advice & tips before my trip. Hotel, guides & transfers in Kathmandu were spot on. Biggest credit has to go to the guide & sherpa who take care of you every step of the way. Thank you Evertrek!

“The guides were truly amazing, professional and were always on-hand to look after us.”

Thanks guys for the experience of a lifetime. What can I say about Evertrek! Simply brilliant. From the moment we spoke with Andy and signed up it was all taken care of. The guides were

truly amazing, professional and were always on-hand to look after us. Listen, this is a tough challenge but it’s well within the reach of most of you out there considering the possibility. I’ve

kept myself pretty fit all my life (63 years young) but trying to keep up with my sons was, at times, pushing my limits. The scenery is so beautiful it becomes an emotional challenge at times.

We did Kilimanjaro a few years ago - Base Camp blows that away completely. However, you need to be in the best hands and we were. Our guides, Rahul and Krishna were meticulous in making

sure we were looked after every step of the way and needless to say we have become friends for life. I cannot recommend EverTrek highly enough. Don’t think about this for too long - just do it. They’ll get there and you’ll never forget the experience. So,as soon as I have some pics ready

I’ll upload and share but please do not hesitate to contact me while I’m still flying through thin air!!! Thanks again Andy and EverTrek.

This package ensures full board (meals and accommodation) in the Hotel Hyatt Regency (a leading 5 star hotel in Kathmandu), whilst in Kathmandu and the most luxurious lodges on the trek like the Yeti Mountain Home, the Everest View Hotel, and the Culture Home during the trek.These luxury lodges en route to Everest Base Camp offer top class accommodation and meals. Also a huge highlight of the trip, once at Everest Base Camp you will be picked up by our very own private helicopter and flown back to Kathmandu instead of walking down to Lukla and waiting for your return flight.

This trekking package is suited for those looking for a luxury holiday whilst on a lifetime trekking adventure.

You can book this on an individual basis, however we do offer significant discounts for group bookings of 2 or more.

As with all of our trips, this trekking package can also be customised and tailored to your requirements and needs. Spring and Autumn are the best times to visit for this trip.

Conquering the height of Mt. Everest might not be possible for everyone. However, trekking to its base camp can still be an epic adventure. The trek, all the way from Lukla Airport to Everest Base Camp isn’t about what to explore, but how much you can explore. This little world of mountains offers splendid views of some of the tallest peaks in the world, including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu and Cho Oyu. Whilst looking at the diverse flora and fauna in the Sagarmartha National Park you can also experience the unique culture, tradition, rituals and the lifestyle of the Sherpa people.

The trek winds through the Khumbu region reaching the base of Mt Everest whilst offering trekkers a chance to climb to Kala Patthar which stands at a height of 5545 meters. Enjoy the helicopter ride from Everest Base camp down to Kathmandu once the trek is complete. All of this makes the Ultimate Luxury Everest Base Camp trek a perfect getaway and a dream experience.

The 13 Days Ultimate Luxury Everest Base Camp trek is a full board package that ensures the benefit of all meals and accommodation during the trek and in Kathmandu. We will also provide an English speaking guide and porter to carry your gear. This package also includes a day tour of a UNESCO World heritage site in Kathmandu exploring the city before heading off into the mountains.

The trip starts with a 30-35 minute flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. From there, the journey takes you through mountain valleys, passing through Sherpa Villages until you reach the base of the highest mountain in the world, Mt Everest.
