The Everest Base Camp Trek is a widely-known hiking experience in Nepal that takes trekkers to the base camp of Mount Everest at an elevation of 5,364 m (17,598 ft). In the Himalayas of Nepal, the EBC trek provides an exceptional chance to experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the Everest region. The EBC trek takes you through stunning mountain peaks, sherpa settlements, and diverse landscapes.
The cost of the Everest Base Trek ranges from USD 1100 to USD 1500. Yet the cost varies depending on factors including the duration of the trip, the level of comfort you prefer, any luxurious service you want, and whether to hire a guide and porter or not. Your cost includes three meals a day during the trekking, along with the finest accommodation, permits, a flight ticket to Lukla, a trekking map, and some refundable trekking gear and equipment.
The starting place for the 12-day trek to Everest Base Camp is Lukla. In fact, Lukla is the starting point of each trekking destination in the Everest region. Trekkers and visitors must arrive at Lukla airport first to start their journey in the Everest region. You’ll have a scenic flight to Lukla airport from the domestic airport in Kathmandu, which generally takes 45 minutes.
The EBC trek duration generally takes 12 days, but if you have enough time, you can travel for a longer duration by adding extra acclimatization days and side trips to nearby locations. The 12 days are ideal for those with limited time but still want to get to the world’s highest trekking destination, EBC. Within 12 days, you’ll visit each place that you’ll visit in longer trekking days; however, the time will be less for exploration.
Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek is in the Khumbu region of Solukhumbu district. The destination lies in the northeastern part of Nepal, near the border with Tibet. The majestic mountain ranges surround the EBC trek. The base camp lies within Sagarmatha National Park at an elevation of 5,364 m (17,598 ft) above sea level at the base of Mount Everest.
The highest altitude of the EBC short trek is Everest Base Camp itself, which stands at an elevation of 5,364 meters (17,598 feet). Getting to the top of Everest Base Camp offers you views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks and the awe-inspiring beauty of the Everest region. Additionally, trekkers visit the nearby finest viewpoint on the EBC trek, Kalapathar, standing at 5,545 m (18,192 ft).
Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most adventurous trekking destinations in the Everest region and Nepal due to its high altitude and rugged terrain. The trek to Everest Base Camp takes several days to complete with walking ascent and descent, making the journey on EBC physically demanding. Furthermore, the risk of altitude-related sickness is a major concern during the EBC trek. Yet, with proper preparation and an acclimatization plan, you can complete the trek with fewer challenges.
Spring (pre-monsoon) from March to May and autumn (post-monsoon) from September to November are the best seasons for a 12-day Everest Base Camp trek. The stable weather with clear skies and favorable temperatures creates an ideal time for trekking in EBC during autumn and spring. Yet the summer season is also becoming popular for the EBC trek due to global warming. The weather is sunny, and days are long during the summer, creating pleasant trekking conditions.
Yes, solo travelers can do the 12-day Everest Base Camp trek, but you should trek with a licensed guide who will help you throughout your journey. Having an experienced guide by your side helps you to be free from any worries, as the guide will assist you throughout the journey and ensure your safety.
Yes, trekking permits are mandatory, even if you are on a 12-day trek. You need to obtain a Trekkers Information System (TIMS) card and a Sagarmatha National Park permit for a 12-day EBC trek. Without a permit, you can’t continue your trek, as the permit is checked at various checkpoints along the route. However, with no worries, you can obtain both permits for the EBC trek through Boundless Adventure.
The difficulty level of the 12-day Everest trek depends on one’s physical fitness, acclimatization plan, and weather conditions. The trek involves covering a distance of 130 km in a round trip, walking over rocky paths, making steep ascends and descents, and crossing suspension bridges over rivers several times, making the trek a little difficult. Also, on the 12 days, you’ll be a little hectic due to the short duration, so we suggest you choose a 14-day itinerary for a more flexible and comfortable journey.
Yes, you will get a hotel throughout the journey; you’ll stay in a local tea house or hotel. The tea houses provide simple yet comfortable accommodations and tasty, fresh meals that you will get every day. You can get a hot shower, an electricity facility, and WI-FI in those tea houses, but at an additional cost.
Yes, all along the journey of the Everest base camp trek, the tea houses and hotels have the facility of wifi. Each area’s hotel offers you wifi, but the charge for wifi service is extra. However, some trekkers want to get disconnected from any technologies and people throughout the journey and enjoy the natural beauty and peacefulness of the Himalayan landscape.
During the EBC trek, you’ll find electric plugs with two or three circular prongs; however, we suggest you bring two pins of adapters to charge your phone, notepad, laptop, and electric device during the 12-day Everest trek.
Yes, a hot shower is available at each hotel or tea house throughout the 12-day trek to EBC, but it charges you extra. For a hot shower, a bucket and gas system are available during the tour. Some areas, including Lukla, Phakding, Namche Bazaar, and Dingboche, have attached bathrooms, and these bathrooms have gas-heated showers. And most other parts of the hotel provide a bucket system for hot showers.
With proper preparation, training, and guidance, beginners can also do the Everest Base Camp trek within 12 days. Indeed, trekking in EBC is adventurous, but those who are in good physical condition can complete the trek. Choosing an itinerary plan for a 12-day trek is necessary. Also, listening to your body, walking slowly, staying hydrated, and being mentally prepared are essential for beginners to complete the Everest Base Camp within 12 days.
Yes, the 12-day Everest Base Camp trek is adventurous due to the challenging terrain, high altitude, and relatively shorter duration. Additionally, the 12-day Everest Base Camp trek involves challenges including altitude sickness and unpredictable weather conditions and provides fewer acclimatization days, making the trek adventurous.
The Everest trek can be done in either 12 or 14 days. The 12-day trek requires a faster pace due to its shorter duration, while the 14-day trek allows for a more relaxed journey with additional acclimatization days. Both treks follow the same route from Lukla to Everest Base Camp, but the 14-day trek gives you extra time to adjust to the altitude. With the added days, you can trek at a slower pace and enjoy the journey while adapting to the changing altitude.
The optimal group size for a 12-day trek to Everest Base Camp is 45. With a larger number of groups, we provide group discounts, which reduces your overall cost. Trekking with a larger group is more enjoyable, and you’ll feel more enjoyment while trekking and forget about all the challenges that come during your trek.

Kalapathar and Everest Base Camp itself offer the best views during the 12-day trek. At an elevation of 5545m, Klapathar is near the village of Gorakshep. Trekkers go hiking to Klaapthar after exploring the Everest Base camp. Usually, trekkers start hiking early in the morning to Kalapathar for the stunning sunrise view over the top of the mountain. One of the reasons why Kalapathar is the best viewpoint on the EBC journey is that it provides a view of Mount Everest that can’t be seen from the Everest base camp.

Short Everest trek
My friends and I recently embarked on a short Everest Base Camp trek with Boundless Adventure, which turned out to be an incredible experience. I’ve trekked with other agencies in the past, but Boundless Adventure was the most professional and prioritized our safety above all else. Mr. Dambar and his team were able to customize our itinerary to meet our preferences, and from the moment we landed at Lukla Airport to the end of our journey, we were treated to breathtaking views of each area.
The first part of our journey was easy, but as we reached the upper section, the trek became more adventurous. Fortunately, our guide was there to take care of us and handle any situation calmly. I highly recommend the short EBC trek with Boundless Adventure.

12-day Everest Base Camp trek
Our group of five ladies embarked on the 12-day Everest Trek in Nepal in October 2023, with me as the leader. However, to ensure our safety during the trek, I chose Boundless Adventure, a company recommended by a friend who had previously trekked with them.
“My friend was right the team at Boundless Adventure took excellent care of us during our 12-day Everest Base Camp trek. As a group of women, we were initially concerned about our safety, but the logistics were managed very well. We appreciated the care and attention” they provided.”
Dambar Khadka kept us updated and helped us during our trek. The view of Mount Everest from Kala Patthar is unforgettable. For female trekkers in Nepal, Boundless Adventure is highly recommended.

12 days Trekking at Everest
My journey to Everest base camp with Boundless Adventure was outstanding. Due to my time limit, I requested Boundless Adventure to minimize the duration of the Everest Base Camp trek, and they suggested a 12-day itinerary. Trekking at Everest Base Camp was adventurous, and with less duration, the trek was hectic, but with the support of Boundless Adventure and its crew members, I feel so relaxed and worry less.
The landscape of the Everest region was stunning, with snow-capped peaks and traditional villages and monasteries along the way. Every day on the EBC trek was somehow challenging and rewarding. I enjoyed the journey and the service of Boundless Adventure. Highly recommended.
