Everest Family Trekking

Everest Family Trekking is a family-friendly trekking package organized for the family. The trek has a moderate level of difficulty. The highest point on the trek is 3800 m/12468 ft. Hence, altitude sickness can be a concern, as altitude-related sickness begins when you get above 2500 m. 

Thus, the family needs to be cautious about the trek’s difficulty level, as well as the risk of altitude sickness that needs to be accounted for, despite the trekking packages being family-friendly and having moderate difficulty levels.

Safety Measures

• Acclimatization is crucial while trekking in the high-altitude region. This helps the body to adjust to the changing environment. 

• Hydrate your body. Drink between 2-3 litres per day. It will help maintain your energy level in your body because it keeps your body hydrated all the time. 

• Always trek with a guide so that you can enjoy nature with the proper guide, who will assist you in interacting with people, as well as explain to you the history of the region you are trekking in.

• Listen to your body at all times. If there is any dizziness and breathing difficulties, speak to the guide and take medication.  In case of emergency, take an emergency evacuation by helicopter or descend as soon as possible. 

• Always carry a first aid kit in your bag. In case of an emergency, you can use it immediately. 

• Check the weather conditions before starting the trek in the Everest region.

• Pack the needed gear in your bag. Don’t bring unnecessary items in your bag; it causes difficulty on the trekking days. 

• Always respect the local culture and customs of the Everest region. 

Trekking in the right season is a must. The right season offers stunning views of the Himalayas, green and colourful trails and the stunning beauty of nature. Generally, spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are considered the best seasons for trekking in the Everest. 

Both spring and autumn are the most loved seasons for trekking and exploring Nepal. Both of these seasons are widely popular for their clear visibility, warm and comfortable temperature, stunning visibility of the Himalayas and charming atmosphere. During the spring season, the whole environment became vibrant and colourful due to the bloom of rhododendron and some other wildflowers. After the monsoon season, the whole environment became crystal-clear and green, making it perfect for trekking in the high-altitude region of Nepal. 

Whereas the monsoon and winter seasons are not recommended for trekking in Nepal. Both of these seasons are believed to be difficult seasons for trekking. The visibility is poor, and the road and trail are difficult to cross due to the slipperiness. Most of the trekkers reject this season for travelling in Nepal. However, trained and highly experienced trekkers come to trek in the Everest and other high-altitude regions in Nepal with an experienced guide. 

Overall, spring and autumn are the perfect and most loved seasons for exploring and trekking in Nepal by all travellers around the world. 

Eating tasty food and sleeping in a comfortable bed are highly essential while trekking in the Everest region with family. In lower elevations, you’ll get a lot of food options and good accommodation facilities. You’ll be eating varieties of foods, like authentic Nepali food, and international cuisine is also available. Trekkers can enjoy dal bhat, momo, noodles, pasta, pizza, spaghetti, and other varieties of food. You’ll be sleeping in a private room with bathrooms. The hotel provides electricity, hot showers, internet, laundry, and many other modern amenities. 

As you gain elevation, the food options and accommodations get very basic yet comforting. The food options are limited, but you’ll get a variety of food options. Try some authentic Sherpa cuisine too. You’ll get dal bhat, noodles, eggs, Tibetan bread, soup, fried rice, chowmein, momo, and some other available foods. Although they have limited options, the locals serve with love that makes the food tasty and comforting. 

For accommodation, you’ll be staying in a local teahouse, which offers a comfortable bed in a warm room. The rooms are cozy and small, but you’ll get a comfortable bed for sleeping. In the room, you’ll get a bed, mattress, pillow, and blanket. We suggest you carry a sleeping bag. There are no such facilities as a private bathroom, a hot shower, laundry and internet. 

Whether you stay in a local teahouse in a remote area or stay in a city area, the food is comforting, and the accommodations are comfortable. 

When trekking in the Everest region, obtaining the necessary permits is essential. Here are the permits required for the Everest Family Trek:

• Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit

• Trekker’s Information Management System

These permits can be obtained from the Nepal Tourism Board office in Kathmandu, or we can arrange all these for you if you provide your photos and other paper documents.  

When it comes to trekking in high-altitude areas, travel insurance is a must. Choose an insurance provider that covers medical expenses, emergency evacuations, delays or cancellations of flights, and loss of luggage or theft. Your policy should cover helicopter evacuation for emergencies.

We encourage you to select a reliable insurance company offering full coverage designed for trekking adventures. Prior to buying the policy, make sure you go through the contract thoroughly for complete comprehension of the terms involved before signing.

Hiring a guide is a must when trekking in the Everest region. A highly experienced guide brings more fun and adventure to your trek. A guide ensures that trekkers are able to interact with people, know more about the culture and traditions of that place, and know more about the rural places, too. They assure you that they will ensure safety and security during the trekking days in the Everest region.

By using add-ons, families can customize their comfort level as they prefer.

Hotel Charge in Kathmandu

Boundless Adventure manages accommodation for your family during the journey, but accommodation in Kathmandu is your own. We can provide you with a Hotel that meets your preferences; however, the overall expenses are your responsibility. Kathmandu offers a range of Hotel options, from budget-friendly to five-star. A three-star Hotel with a double bed and a one-time meal costs $45 daily.

Kathmandu to Lukla helicopter cost

An airplane is the most common way to reach Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region. However, a helicopter flight to Lukla is a unique and thrilling experience. Helicopter flights take you quickly to Lukla airport, avoiding flight delays, and you don't need to wait long. Even if the weather conditions affect the flight, the helicopter flight still operates. Hence, a helicopter from Kathmandu to Lukla is suitable for your family. The cost of a helicopter flight to Lukla is US$650 per person.

Porter cost

A porter is an invaluable partner on your journey, carrying your backpack and ensuring your safety, comfort, and enjoyment. At your request, we'll provide a highly experienced porter to carry equipment, supplies, and gear during your trek to Everest. Your porter will bring your family's backpack, as one porter's carrying capacity is 23-25kg. The cost of one porter is US$ 210/- from Lukla to Lukla.

Wildlife Safari in National Park

To enhance the family's experience, we included a visit to Chitwan National Park as an add-on to the Everest Family trekking package. Generally, families visit together during their holidays, as we offer combined trekking and touring options. By adding a Chitwan National Park exploration to their package, family members can learn about two distinct cultures and experience different facets of Nepal's beauty. We aim to provide trekkers with the opportunity to see the various endangered animals and rare plants found in Nepal. Airplane, bus, car, and jeep are options for getting to Chitwan from Kathmandu. Jungle Safari, bird watching, canoeing, visiting an elephant breeding center, and local Tharu communities will enhance your and your family's tour in Chitwan.

Similarly, the wildlife safari tour costs US$170 /—per person and includes two nights' accommodation, meals, a National Park fee, and activities.
