Everest Base Camp Trek Package: What's Included and Cost

Why Trek to Everest Base Camp

The Everest Base Camp Trek is the most recognized trekking route in the world, and for good reason. Over roughly two weeks, the trail climbs from the Lukla airstrip through Sherpa villages, pine forests, suspension bridges, and glacial moraine to the foot of the world's highest mountain. Along the way, trekkers pass through Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, Dingboche, Lobuche, and Gorak Shep before reaching Everest Base Camp at 5,364m and, on most itineraries, the sunrise viewpoint of Kala Patthar at 5,545m.

Nepal Himalayas Trekking has organized this route since 2012 under the direct guidance of Managing Director and licensed trekking guide Prakash Lamsal, who has personally led trekkers from around the world through the Khumbu region on the Everest Base Camp Trek, Everest Three Passes Trek, Manaslu Circuit, Langtang Valley, Kanchenjunga Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Base Camp, Mardi Himal, Ghorepani Poon Hill, Chisapani–Nagarkot, Dhampus–Sarangkot, and Lower Dolpo treks.

What's Included in the Everest Base Camp Trek Package

A standard guided package from Nepal Himalayas Trekking is built to cover every major logistical piece of the journey so you can focus on the walking, not the planning. The core inclusions are:

• Airport transfers – pickup and drop-off in Kathmandu
• Kathmandu hotel accommodation on a bed-and-breakfast basis, as per the itinerary
• Kathmandu–Lukla–Kathmandu domestic flights
• Sagarmatha National Park entry permit
• Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality permit
• A government-licensed, English-speaking trekking guide
• A porter (typically one porter for every two trekkers, carrying up to ~20kg)
• Teahouse/lodge accommodation throughout the trek
• Three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) while on the trail
• All government taxes, VAT, and official service charges
• A trekking achievement/completion certificate and duffel bag on many itineraries

Because Prakash Lamsal personally guides and manages trips through Nepal Himalayas Trekking, trekkers deal directly with the person responsible for permits, staffing, and route decisions — not a third-party reseller.

What's Not Included

To budget realistically, plan for these separately:

• International airfare to and from Nepal
• Nepal tourist visa (US$30 for 15 days / US$50 for 30 days / US$125 for 90 days)
• Travel insurance covering high-altitude trekking and helicopter evacuation
• Personal trekking gear (rentable in Kathmandu if needed)
• Drinks, bottled water, hot showers, Wi-Fi, and device charging on the trail
• Tips for your guide and porter
• Extra hotel nights caused by flight delays or itinerary changes
• Personal shopping and souvenirs

A realistic personal-spending allowance is US$150–200 for a budget traveler, US$200–300 for a standard traveler, and US$300–500+ for those who want extra comfort on the trail.
