Idolized by people throughout the world, it is no wonder that the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek might be on the travel bucket list of many peripatetics. However, everyone doesn’t have the daring attitude to spend a clumsy night for several days on their journey. Thus catering to the luxury needs of such ardent trekkers this Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek is introduced.
We believe that one shouldn’t deter himself/herself from joining the EBC trek just because of one’s admiration for comfort.
This Everest Luxury trek serves best for all those trekkers out there, who are reluctant to spend the vacation away from the lavish accommodations but still hold the predilection to reach the foothill of the mighty Mount Everest.
The audacious journey to the Everest Base Camp accompanies you with a plethora of mountain range vistas. Spinning prayer wheels, quivering prayer flags, stupas, mani walls, shortens and monasteries satisfy your spiritual needs. A jaunt to the Sagarmatha National Park caresses your eyes with the occasional fleeting views of Himalayan wildlife, flora, and bird species. Surrounded by small stone walls and stupas, your arrival at the Everest Memorial makes you emotional to some extent.
During this trek, you cannot ignore the caravans of Yaks and Dopziu on the trekking trails. Furthermore, the thrill of walking across several suspension bridges including the popular Hillary Bridge gives you sheer happiness.
Initiating the trek from Lukla and reaching up to the maximum elevation of around 5545m at Kalapatthar, no wonder you will get bewildered by the bewitching Himalayan beauty of Everest. To your astonishment, Sherpa culture and lifestyle have made a great contribution. Your encounter with the legendary Sherpa people sometimes lets you indulge in their festive celebrations too.
Giving proper justice to the word luxury, we have designed this package to provide trekkers with full comfort and joy. Whether you are a solivagant or a group trek lover, this package befits both types of trekkers.
This Luxury EBC Trekking follows the same trekking route as that of Standard Everest Base Camp Trek. Unlike the normal Everest Region Trek, this luxurious Everest Lodge Trek lets you spend a relaxing time in some of the commodious lodges and lavish hotels in the Everest Region.
By joining this package you needn’t have to carry your duffle bags by yourself. You will be provided with a porter to carry your bags. Furthermore, an English-speaking licensed trekking guide will also be there for your guidance.
Despite our willingness to provide you with comfort during your day’s hike, you still have to be able to walk for a minimum of around five hours every day. The walk each day gets tougher and tougher as you will gain height in each day’s walk. However, to make you able to cope with the increasing altitude, we have included some acclimatization days on your Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary. Moreover, no matter, how much you struggle for your day’s hike, your stay in the lavish hotel will be there to compensate for all your hardships.
Starting with the scenic flight from Kathmandu to the tiny airstrips of Lukla, the trek will take you via the Sherpa land of Phakding, Namche, Tengboche, Deboche, Pangboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, Gorakshep, and finally to Everest Base Camp. Furthermore, a trek to Kalapatthar from Gorakshep lets you experience more thrill and adventure.
If you have enough budget then Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek is the one you should go on for. Otherwise, the standard Everest Base Camp Trek is there to suit your budget.
Overseeing the luxury needs of the trekkers we have arranged accommodation and food service at the opulent hotels and lodges in the Everest Region. By booking this trek package you no longer have to compromise with your lavish lifestyle.
The names of the commodious hotels that you can choose during your Everest Region stay are Yeti Mountain Home, Everest Summit Lodge, Everest View Hotel, Revindill Lodge, and Italian Pyramid Lodge. During your stay at Gorakshep, Lobuche, and Dingboche you might not get to spend the night with full luxury. But, even at these places, we will select the best available places.
Observing the daily lives of the sherpa people you will realize that life in the Himalayas is not always happening and cheerful. Even after going through various hardships in daily life, these sherpa people greet you with their ever-smiling faces. Those smiling faces and their benevolent nature motivate you to proceed on the journey of the Luxury Base Camp Trek.
Starting the trek from Lukla and reaching the Kalapatthar, you will be facing a huge altitude gain each day. Due to the high elevation gain, you might likely get caught by acute mountain sickness. No, any trekker is immune to Acute mountain sickness. The efficient way to cure altitude sickness is proper acclimatization rest.
So, keeping this thing into consideration we have included two acclimatization days on our itinerary. On these days we will be spending the day at the higher altitudes and at night we will descend low.
The trek will let you make your visit to several monasteries located in the Everest region. Thus it is somehow like your monastery tour. Some of the monasteries we will be visiting on this trek are Namche Monastery, Thame Monastery, Tengboche Monastery, and Pangboche Monastery.
The pleasure that you feel standing at the foot of Mount Everest is nothing similar to that of other experiences in your journey.
Even if many trekkers make the prior decision of trekking to the Kalapatthar. Merely some people stay at this decision when the time comes. Conquering Kalapatthar is not everyone’s cup of tea. However, with our carefully designed itinerary plan, you are more likely, you hold this decision at last. After all, we deliberately want to make our visitors proud and happy upon the completion of the journey.
The name Everest Base Camp is very popular throughout the world. But when it comes to enjoying the spectacular Mt. Everest view, Kalapatthan grabs all of the attention. Along with Mt. Everest, the view of Pumori, Nuptse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, and many other mountains makes you reminisce about this memorable time again and again.
Many considerations must be taken into account when determining if trekking to the Luxury Everest Base Camp (EBC) is the best option for you. Here are some important concepts to think about:
Therefore, you can decide if the Luxury Everest Base Camp trek is the best choice for you by taking these facts into account. You should think about any particular preferences or concerns you may have before making your choice.
There is no prerequisite for previous climbing experience for the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek. It’s not that difficult to make your way to Luxury Everest Base Camp. All you need to do is prepare a little before you start.
Trekking experience is not necessary for the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trekking, But it would be beneficial if you have one. As trekkers pass through the dingboche region, they have to be aware of a number of challenges on this trip. However, with the pre-tour routines and appropriate warm-up exercises, we will simplify the Everest luxury lodge trek.
Note: Luxury Lodge is Available only in Monju, Phakding, Lukla, and Namche. Other lodges have electric Blankets and Inside toilets only.

You can take shower in every lodge where you stay. Many of the tea houses have a gas shower and you need to pay US$3 to US$ 6 per shower per person. The shower cost in lower elevations is cheaper and increases in upper elevations because they bring the gas from Lukla.
The gas brings by airplane to Lukla and the porter carries it to base camp. In lower elevations, some tea houses have solar showers and electric heater showers.
We can charge the battery in every tea house but you can charge only in the dining hall.
You can charge phone cameras and other small electronic devices with an extra cost of US$ 2 to US$5 depending upon the device and elevation you stay. Some tea houses have electricity some have solar charging.
Almost every tea house has wifi available and they charge the extra cost for using wifi.

We can organize the groups from 1 to 15 people in one group. If the number of travelers is more than 15 we divide it into 2 groups handled by two experienced guides and other numerous assistant guides.
The group can be a mix of different individuals, couples, or friends traveling together. MHTAE like to organize a private trip of your own group rather than join you with other individuals.
The first season Is called Spring(From March beginning to May ending) and is the warmest trekking season. Another dry season is Autumn(September to November) is the best time to trek Everest base camp. At that time the sky is clear and the busiest and most crowded time for the trek.
December January and February is the winter season in Nepal. Snow covers in high elevations. The temperature decreases until negative 15 to 30 degrees. June July August is called the worst season for trekking to Everest Base Camp trek.
Because of that time many chances to cancel your flight to and from Lukla. It’s quiet to trek in this season. And many flower blossoms. But some trails are slippery by rain and many leeches in lower elevations. Sometimes Lanslide can happen.
MHTAE normally organizes the staff crews depending on your group size. mainly you have a main trekking leader or guide and a porter sharing with two paying persons.
If your group size is more than 4 people we organize a trek with other assistant guides and if you have more than 8 people 1 main trekking leader and 2 assistant guides and 4 porters or sherpa.
For the domestic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and return there is an allowance of 10 kgs luggage and 5 kgs hand carry. Choose lightweight clothing during trekking. If your weight luggage is more than 15 you need to pay an extra US$ 1 per kg for the flight.

However, tips are a common way for people in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and throughout Nepal to express gratitude to staff members who have performed well for them.
You might pay for tips once they provide you with excellent service and effort. Hence, we advise you to give each tip separately rather than giving it to your leader in its entirety.

Note: 230 Volt c and d type of travel adapter useful in Nepal trekking and traveling. In case you forget to bring you can buy this in Kathmandu for a couple of dollars.
Normally Nepal squat toilets are popular in Nepal. For many of our Luxury Yeti Mountain homes, you will be in private western toilets. In some higher elevations the toilet is squat and outside sharing with many trekkers means not being attached to your personal rooms.
Many of your time in the teahouse you can use toilets in teahouses. but during your trekking, you cannot find a toilet middle of the way. You can go toilet to see your privacy outside in shadows or unseen places of trekkers.
Many lower elevation teahouses provide wifi for 3 to 5 us$ per 24 hours. You can buy a sim card in Kathmandu with a data package and use it during trekking but the signal is poor and strong depending on the place.
You can use this phone for domestic and international calls too. In case some places your sim card not works properly you can use the guesthouse phone without paying the cost.
Nowadays Many teahouses provide the Everest Link wifi. If you Buy US$ 30 for 20 GB or US$v 20 for 10 GB you can use almost all places during the trekking until your GB is finished.
Of course yes.
All the tea houses and hotels sell toilet paper in Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek. They do not provide toilet paper freely in the toilet. The cost of toilet paper starts from US$ 2 to US$ 5 in higher elevations.
Lower elevation teahouses have a hot shower either by solar or by Gas whereas higher elevation provides hot water in the bucket because of the flowing water freezing. Normally they charge US$ 3 to 5 for a hot shower per person per shower.
Only some teahouses have laundry facilities during the trekking. During your acclimatization day in Namche and Dingboche, we will suggest you do laundry. But other days it is not good for laundry because sometimes the clothes cannot dry due to time and cold weather.
After completing your trekking you can give all your clothes in Kathmandu for laundry. They have fast laundry and dry services.
The best way of traveling to a higher elevation is slowly ascending to a higher elevation and acclimatizing after 3500m 1 day at the same altitude. after 1000m altitude gains you need to stay another night again for acclimatization. Otherwise, you might have acute mountain sickness.
All the guides are highly experienced with Symptoms of Ams and other related mountain sicknesses. So they carry an oximeter and Diamox in higher elevation trekking.
Some trekkers can trek without acclimatization. If you have a limited time frame you can consult with us for a short trek then you can fly back from Gorakhshep to Kathmandu by helicopter. We can Customize your trip according to your holiday and wants so please consult with experts.
Our trekking leaders are experts to handle such problems. In case you are unable to trek lower or higher elevation during your injury or AMS they will consult with your travel insurance agents according to your policy.
We will send a helicopter for emergency evacuation. If you are normal we will give you good advice with first aid treatments to reduce sickness and bring your nearby health post or HRA post.
Yes, we can tell it’s safe according to our past trekking experience. But before eating your food please check if it’s well-cooked or not. Water needs to be treated safely before drinking because our natural water has lots of minerals. we can digest it but trekkers cannot.
Do not eat uncooked vegetables in Kathmandu. During the trekking meat is not fresh so beware before you eat meat items.
Nepal mountain is obviously cold no doubt. Depending on the season and timing the temperature a lot of changes. Trekking in higher elevations will be much colder than in lower elevations.
Normally during the high season of trekking day time hike is not very cold you can hike with normal light hiking gear but in tea, houses say at night it will very cold.
The temperature falls until negative 20 degrees at Everest base camp. But depending on elevation the temperature is different. Trek to Everest Base Camp in the wintertime is Very cold So the temperature falls to negative 40 degrees in Everest Base Camp. To prepare your trekking gear please consult with us before your departure.
Due to weather anytime, the Lukla flight was delayed or canceled. If you have a buffer day you can make your trek flexible.
But if you have no extra day you can decrease your acclimatization day or you need to fly back from Everest Base camp to Lukla or Kathmandu by helicopter with an extra add-on cost. Sometimes the weather is bad but the chopper can fly to Lukla.
For this flight, you need to pay an extra US$ 500 per person per way. So prepare your contingency add-on cost for this flight. If you have a buffer day you can back to the Kathmandu hotel that day’s cost you can pay yourself in hotel lodging and flooding.
The flight can be rescheduled for the next day without extra add-on cost in flight. Sometimes the airlines change the flight from Kathmandu to Lukla change to Ramechap to Lukla.
