Essential Info

How Can You Save Money When Trekking in Nepal, especially in the Everest base camp?

Nepal is one of the most reasonably priced destinations in Asia. You could spend an entire day in Nepal for the same amount of money, where you could barely afford a Starbucks coffee. However, It won't work on the Everest journey, so you'll need to tighten your purse strings. Thanks to Nepal's unique topography and scenery, you will never run out of breathtaking vistas in the Everest Base Camp trek. Additionally, several ethical communities coexist peacefully with various cultures and traditions. Nepal is essentially a garden filled with many flowers. The nation is more than its people, culture, scenic surroundings, and fascinating past. Trekking in the Himalayas is an unforgettable experience, but it can be expensive. Here are a few ways to save money when trekking in Nepal.

  • First, try to go during the low season. The prices are lower, and there are fewer tourists. 
  • Second, book your Trek through a local agency. They often have better deals than big international companies. 
  • Third, avoid flights and take the bus instead. It's a long journey, but it's much cheaper. 
  • To save money while climbing Everest, it makes sense to choose vegetarian meals over non-vegetarian ones.
  • You should refuel your energy after spending 4-5 hours per day walking on a trail that continuously ascends and descends in the mountains. So carrying protein bars and chocolate bars in your backpack is a good idea.
  • Try using local currency NPR and Exchange Dollars before starting the Trek to Everest Base Camp. It is best to exchange dollars while you are in Kathmandu since your money will have a higher worth in Kathmandu. Even though numerous exchanges are along the trial, it is costly and unreasonable. 
  • Stay in guest houses rather than hotels. And finally, pack your food. There are plenty of small stores and markets where you can buy snacks and meals.
  • You might want to bring everything you need when preparing for the Everest Base Camp trip. However, Overpacking might make the Trip more challenging. So, it is advised to carry necessities in your backpack backpack simply.

12 Days Everest Base Camp Trek Group Joining Route

Nepal has several routes for groups joining trekking in the years 2025 and 2026. The most popular ones are the Annapurna Circuit, Everest Base Camp, and the Upper Mustang. But first, let's take a closer look at the 12-day Everest Base Camp trek.

The Everest Base Camp trek is a classic route leading to Mount Everest's foot. It's a challenging trek that takes around 12 days to complete. You'll see some of the most stunning views in the world, including Mount Everest. It is a dream come true for many people. Many adventurers have had the opportunity to visit this magical place, but only some get the chance to do it with a group. This Trek is one for the books. There is no better way to get the most out of your experience than to do it with others. Luckily for you, we have the perfect route! Here is our recommendation for the Route to take on your adventure to Everest Base Camp!

To get to this part of the Mountains quickly, we designed this 12-day trek to Everest Base Camp, which runs directly from and to Lukla. To begin our Trek, you fly from Kathmandu to Lukla on a scenic flight. The entrance to Mount Everest region is in Lukla. Mt. Everest Base Camp trekking, a well-known mountain trek, begins in upper Phakding and follows the Dudh Kosi valley up to Namche. This bustling bazaar is a junction for trekkers, local Sherpas, and expeditions en route to the mighty Mt. Everest. 

All tourists will be mesmerized by the Sherpa culture, tradition, and heritage. Likewise, you can explore numerous historic Sherpa settlements, hotels, bars, cafes, and other establishments found in the commercial town. Villages are scattered throughout this section of the trail, which is surrounded by magnificent forests of rhododendrons, magnolia, and giant fir trees. The flowers blooming on this section of the route in both early autumn and late spring make it a walk you will remember for a very, very long. After resting for a day in Namche Bazar, we go along a high traversing trail where we get our first proper looks at Everest before doing the two-hour climb to Tengboche Monastery. In a clearing surrounded by dwarf firs and rhododendrons, the monastery is located at 3867 meters. Structure-wise, the monastery is located at the top, with excellent views of the Everest region. The view from this location is truly breathtaking and hypnotic, and it is deservedly regarded as one of the most gorgeous in the world. It is best seen in the morning. 

Afterward, we proceed to the villages of Pangboche and Pheriche before descending to the Imja Khola and finally arriving at the Khumbu Glacier. Later we hike to Gorak Shep for a break after following the glacier to Lobuche, where we can see peaks like Ama Dablam and Taweche in all their best shape and glory. On your Trek, you will pass through Kala Patthar, the best place you could ever ask to see some incredible vistas of the Himalayan giants. The scenery will leave you speechless with wonder and make up for the excruciating journey you endured to get there. Finally, after exploring fantastic views of the massive Mt. Everest's southwestern face, you will trek down to Everest Base Camp, located at the foot of Khumbu ice.

The journey to Mount Everest's base is covered in a strong aura of mystery. If you take this route, you will follow in the footsteps of famous mountaineers. 

Outlining the Trekking Route Options For Everest Base Camp

We have always felt a certain kind of charming appeal toward Mount Everest. It could be because the summit of Everest is the highest point on Earth and symbolizes some of humankind's most significant accomplishments. Or Everest inspires a simple sense of childlike wonder in our eyes. Compared to watching videos or looking at pictures, there is always something better about experiencing something in person that forges a more intimate connection. You can take several routes to and from Everest Base Camp and a helicopter ride home.  Some of the preferred route options by trekkers for the Everest Base Camp trek are:- 

Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trek Route of 19-21 days trekking  

As it uses the same trails that the early explorers in the 1950s would have taken, the Jiri to Everest Base Camp Trip might be regarded as the "purest" and most authentic Trek in the area. The Jiri version starts with a 7-hour bus ride to the town of Jiri, where the tour begins, rather than taking the quick flight from Kathmandu to Lukla.

Tumlingtar to Everest Base Camp Trek Route of 21-23 days trekking

The journey to Everest Base Camp from Tumlingtar requires a flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar. This rarely used path takes nine days to complete from Tumlingtar to Lukla, though climbers on their way to the trekking peak of Mera use the section of the track closest to Lukla.

The small village of Tumlingtar is also the jumping-off point for the groups of trekkers headed to the Makalu Base Camp. The experience from this route is quite different because of the presence of basic Bhattis (teashops with few comforts and straightforward menus. This trail is truly off the beaten path.

Gokyo Over Cho La Pass to Everest Base Camp of 17-18 days of trekking

For those who desire to hike through the uncrowded Evert Region paths, the Gokyo and Renjo La routes are ideal for them. Less than 10% of hikers in the Everest region choose to ascend the Gokyo Valley, a high alpine location that offers different viewpoints of Mount Everest. You will fully understand why Gokyo Ri is regarded as the best trekking location in Nepal once you arrive there. You are likely greeted by not one, not two, but four of the world's 14 8,000-meter peaks. However, crossing the Renjo La in one day of hiking is exciting and challenging. Since you'll be traveling along a historic trade route, you'll run upon Tibetan traders.

Three Passes To Everest Base Camp of 21 Days of Trekking

 Everest Base Camp trek and Three passes will take you through many beautiful and diverse sections of Sagarmatha National Park. The Khumbu region's Everest Three Passes Trek is among the most daring and strenuous hikes. You will climb three challenging passes, Kongma La (5,535m), Cho La (5,420m), and Renjo La, on the Everest 3 Passes trek (5,360m). You will be treated to breathtaking views of the Himalayas from each of these passes. 

EBC trek with a helicopter return of 10 Days of Trekking

The challenging ten-day Everest Base Camp trek offers unrivaled scenery, including vistas of the Khumbu Glacier and Everest itself. You will encounter the Sherpa people along the way and discover their traditions and religion. Finally, after a trek that offers views of the Himalayas few people ever get to see, you board a helicopter to return to the starting point. The hike is fantastic for tourists who want to save time or have limited vacation time. You will not take the same route back; instead, you will fly over the region to make it more enjoyable. 

12 Days Everest base camp trek in Departure and Last minutes Departure

Safety Considerations When Planning a Trip to Everest Base Camp Trek

When it comes to climbing Everest, professional guidance is essential for a safe climb. Mountain Madness and Alpine Ascents International are two reputable climbing services that can provide experienced guides, logistical support, and other essential resources. The professional guides with these services know the ins and outs of mountaineering and can help you develop a plan that considers your fitness level and gear/equipment needs. In addition to providing porters to carry your supplies and cooks to prepare food, these services can also connect you with Sherpas, who can help you summit the peak. Having experienced professionals managing all aspects of the climb is vital when it comes to safety. From planning out routes and campsites to dealing with unexpected conditions on the mountain, guides associated with reputable climbing services will help ensure that your climb goes as smoothly as possible.

Hiking to Everest Base Camp is a fantastic experience, but there are some things you should know before you go. The weather in the Himalayas is very unpredictable and can change rapidly. This can cause delays in flights and make hiking conditions unsafe. That's why adding extra days to your itinerary is essential to account for any unexpected delays or weather changes. By doing this, you'll be able to hike without worries and enjoy the experience to its fullest.

Choosing a service provider can be daunting, especially when so many options are available. Do your research, go with your gut feeling, or get recommendations from people you trust. However, choosing a local agency that has a successful history of operation and provides the best deal can be a great idea. There are many local agencies out there, and due to the immense competition, there is always the chance of getting the best deals. In addition, there are many things to consider when reading the terms and conditions of a package deal. By taking the time to read them thoroughly, you can gain an understanding of what is included and what is not. This can help you avoid potential problems down the line. For example, you will know what to do in an emergency during your trek. Knowing this information beforehand can help make your trip go more smoothly.

Challenges to 12 days Everest Base Camp Trek

No climber worth their salt would turn down the chance to summit Mount Everest, but the reality is that not everyone can make it to the top. Climbing Mount Everest is more complex than putting on hiking boots and trekking to the nearest peak. Even experienced climbers find Everest to be a notoriously tricky summit to reach.

Courage is not the only thing vital during the summit; certified training and hard work are also essential. The ability to endure some of the coldest temperatures on Earth is key, as is having the proper mountain gear. With all of these factors in mind, climbers attempting to summit Mount Everest must be prepared for the challenges.

  • Everest: A Physical and Mental Challenge 

Mount Everest is one of Earth's most stunning and treacherous peaks. Standing at 29,035 feet, it is no wonder it has been called 'Chomolungma' - "Mother Goddess of Tibet" in the Tibetan language. Mt. Everest is one of the most challenging mountains to climb. The air is thin at high altitudes, which makes it difficult to breathe. Temperatures can also drop below zero degrees Fahrenheit, leading to frostbite or even death. Altitude sickness is also a significant concern on Everest, as it can cause dizziness, nausea, and other problems.

  • Altitude: The Science Behind Climbing Everest

Climbing Mount Everest is an incredible feat. Not only do climbers have to endure the harsh conditions near the summit, but they also have to deal with the lack of oxygen at higher altitudes. So how do they safely manage to get to the top and back down?

It all starts with understanding how altitude affects the human body. At high altitudes, there is less oxygen in the air for people to breathe. This can lead to several problems, including altitude sickness, frostbite, and even death. When a person spends extended periods at high altitudes, they may experience altitude sickness symptoms. These can include headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and fatigue. In severe cases, the condition can lead to fluid accumulation in the lungs (pulmonary edema) or brain (cerebral edema).

While it is not entirely clear how climbers adjust to the lack of oxygen at high altitudes, scientists have discovered a few things about how the body responds to these conditions.

  • Natural Build: Topography 

Different people have different opinions about Mount Everest. Some think it is the most beautiful mountain, while others believe it is too dangerous to climb. What everyone can agree on, however, is that Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world.

Mount Everest is a sight to behold at an impressive 8,848 meters (29,029 feet). However, its towering height is not the only thing that makes it unique – the mountain also has a steep and precipitous topography. The Himalayan region is often struck by natural disasters such as glacier falls, heavy snowfall, and avalanches. This makes it a dangerous place to be, especially for those trying to scale the mountains.

  • Training and Preparation for the Climb

To successfully climb Everest, you'll need to be in excellent physical condition and mentally prepared for the challenges ahead. The trek is grueling, taking you through high-altitude terrain with less oxygen in the air. You'll also be taking all your gear with you, so you'll need to be very strong and have endurance.

Most climbers spend at least six months preparing for their Everest expedition. They'll hike and climb in areas of similar altitude to get used to the conditions they'll face on the mountain. They'll also engage in aerobic and strength training to prepare their bodies for the challenge. It's essential to start getting ready as soon as possible if you need to get in better shape or don't have much hiking or climbing expertise. It's not impossible, but you shouldn't take it lightly either.

  • Gear Necessary for Succeeding the Ascent

To succeed in climbing Everest, you'll need more than a positive attitude. You'll also need expensive and specialized equipment, like insulated clothing, to keep you warm even in temperatures as low as -60 degrees Celsius (-76 Fahrenheit). And, of course, you'll need crampons to help you grip the ice. Always remember to bring your extra oxygen tanks or medications and proper clothing to ensure that you don't get an illness from the sun. Traditional climbing gloves are optional but can help take some pressure off your hands so you can climb for hours without feeling exhausted.

When going on a long outdoor trip, always come prepared with all the necessary gear, including a tent and sleeping bag, waterproof matches to start fires, or enough supplies to last at least two weeks. Nothing is worse than running out of food in the wild — especially when it means having to eat bugs for energy!

  • Cost of Everest Summit

You can never stop dreaming of Everest, and dreams never come cheap. It is more than buying a new car - when it comes to climbing Everest, the price varies from $35,000 to $ 1,000,000.

The most significant chunk of expenses goes into getting a climbing permit from the government of Nepal or Tibet. It includes bottled oxygen and high-altitude gear like tents, sleeping bags, and boots.

According to Adam Arnette, who climbed Everest in 2017 for his company's fifteenth-anniversary celebrations, the average cost of mountain climbing that year was $45,000. However, there are many other factors you should take into consideration before arriving at this sum. In 2025, Everest will be a more accessible destination for climbers — the cost of climbing Everest will fall from $35,000 to $40,000.

Although costs on Everest may be going down in the future, the mountain remains a daunting challenge for novice and expert adventurers. Support costs can vary widely depending on the number of members in your team and many other factors related to your personal experience.

The Everest base trek is challenging, and it is recommended to undertake it with a guide or a local. The guide should be experienced, knowledgeable, and have experience in Everest circuit routes. Having enough money and time to do the Everest Base Camp trek is also essential. These aspects should be noticed if you plan to go on the Everest Base Camp trek, as it will take you to a beautiful place. 

Everest is the highest peak on Earth and is very famous. This peak is located in Nepal, and this peak has been the subject of many expeditions, many people have made the journey to the summit. You can also make the trip to Everest and enjoy the beautiful view of the peak.

FAQs

  • Q1. Why 12 Days Everest base camp trek in a group?

    Choosing the 12 Days Everest base camp trek in a group depends on how you define the word "beautiful." Nearly every lovely emotion you could desire while traveling to the mountains is available at Everest Base Camp. You get some breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains on the trip from Lukla to Dingboche, Tengboche, Lobuche, Pheriche, Chukung, Base Camp, and Kala Patthar. Most of us know one thing "To see something beautiful, we need to follow difficult paths." So this is the main reason E.B.C. is the first choice for travelers. It's a hiker's dream to reach Everest Base Camp. Every year, thousands of trekkers travel to this location, which is nestled in the snow-capped Himalayas. E.B.C. is a popular trekking destination around the world. It has a breathtaking view of the mountains, fantastic trekking opportunities, and warm, welcoming people. The fascinating aspect of the E.B.C. journey is the opportunity to look closely at Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world.

    Additionally, this area is home to other high peaks like Mt. Lhotse and Cho Oyu Makalu. Trekking to E.B.C. takes roughly two weeks because of its high altitude. While trekking, you must be mindful of your health. You must also adequately prepare to ensure that you can complete the hike.

    1. Quality of experience: Trekking in a group provides an excellent experience that is hard to duplicate on an independent trek. In a group, you have the support of an experienced guide and additional porters to carry your luggage. With less physical strain, you'll be able to enjoy more of the beautiful scenery as you go. You'll also have the opportunity to interact with and learn from other like-minded travelers. 
    2. Safety:One of the biggest concerns of any independent traveler is safety. With a group, you can feel secure knowing that your guide and porters have the safety of everyone in their care as their top priority. Suppose you take a solo trip on your own in the Everest region. In that case, it's important to exercise extra caution as there are no police and medical facilities in the area. Of course, solo travel can be an incredible experience. However, the decision to travel independently should also be considered carefully. If you choose to go it alone, you must take all the necessary precautions to keep yourself safe.
    3. Local guides, Sherpa, and porters:- The local guides and Sherpas are known to be some of the friendliest and most welcoming people in the world. They are experts at making their way up the mountain. So, the Sherpas and guides of Mount Everest, among the most well-known in the world, will be your trekking companions. Having a local guide who knows more about the country, mountain, history, and trail on your trip are incredible.
    4. Suitable for Non-hikers: E.B.C. offers the appropriate balance of adventure, exposure to breathtaking natural vistas, seclusion (few hikers), and affordability for a non-regular trekker. Most well-known treks are crowded, and you must fight for space. The level of service is also much lower. E.B.C. draws visitors worldwide and offers all the facilities needed for a trek at astronomical prices. It is also a highly safe walk because locals are prepared to handle practically any problem, and amenities like air evacuation are available.
    5. Everest Base Camp Trek Route: One of the original Sherpa towns, Lukla, serves as the entrance of the Everest base Camp on this route. It proceeds along the Dudh Koshi River's bank and away from the mountainside's high hills. To get to Phakding, the trail climbs a mountain and makes a few loops. From this point on, the trip travels through the Sagarmatha National Park and several isolated villages. The road stops at Namche after crossing the suspension bridge and passing Jorsale. Trekkers spend a day acclimatizing in the town before hiking to Everest Hotel View to look at Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku.
    6. Exploration of rare and endangered wildlife:- Sagarmatha National Park is one of the numerous national parks in Nepal that safeguards not just the mountain but also the local flora and fauna. On your approach to Mount Everest, you'll pass through the Sagarmatha National Park, home to several endangered animals like snow leopards and musk deer. Likewise, Himalayan Tahrs, Musk Deer, Snow Leopard, Red Panda, and Wild Yak are just a few creatures that can endure the brutal winters in the Everest region. Animals such as the Blue-sheep, Pika, Tibetan Gazelle, wild yak, and some birds can live at altitudes of up to 6100 meters.

    The world's most famous location will enchant you with the silence of the beautiful Himalayas and amazing vistas of magnificent 8000-meter mountains. More than once is needed to explore the Everest base camp, so tourists visit Nepal multiple times. You don't have to be a mountain lover to desire to see Mount Everest, which is the highest point on Earth. This hike has so much more to offer than just the satisfaction of saying that I have been to the highest mountain in the world. Unlike any other Nepali teahouse hike, it will take you in-depth into the heart of the high Himalayas. The quaint teahouses, historic monasteries, and friendly Sherpa people will add much to your hike experience. Every turn in the trail provides another photo opportunity of beautiful forests, Sherpa villages, glacial moraines, and foothills. Our entire trekking support team will bring you nearer to local cultures before opening a window to the world's top for active adventurers who aren't afraid to break a sweat.

  • First and foremost, this is a fantastic, classic bucket list expedition that is well-deserved. Anything of this kind must be lengthy enough to allow you to immerse yourself in the life that is the Everest region.

  • In terms of difficulty, the hike is classified as Moderate. However, the Everest Base Camp Trek for Beginners may be a little difficult. The walk, however, can readily performed with minimal physical and mental fitness. You will walk along a rugged terrain with various uphill and downhill sections.

  • To reach the highest point, take a one-day sight-seeing journey to the View Point of Kala Patthar, which has an elevation of 5545m.

  • At an elevation of 5,200 meters above sea level, EBC has a mountain plateau climate that can be frigid all year. The average temperature is -17 degrees Celsius, with the coldest months being mid-December to January.

  • July and August appear to average approximately -2°F-0°F (-16°C to -18°C) at night and probably a few degrees above this during the day. On still and sunny days, I would guess that the hottest temperature ever achieved on the summit was in the 10-15°F (-10°C to -12°C) range.

  • The Everest Base Camp has a moderate difficulty level. The journey usually takes two weeks. Although no prior trekking experience is required for the EBC Trek, the trekker should be determined and physically fit.

  • Improving cardio endurance, strength endurance, and being comfortable carrying a daypack uphill for long periods of time should all be part of your training for Everest Base Camp. You should start hiking or doing lengthy walks at least once a week at least 8-12 weeks before your adventure (focus on duration more than distance).

  • The visits are seasonal, with 42% of annual visitors arriving in October and November. March and April are also popular months, accounting for 31% of all annual tourists. However, as you can see, there are fewer trekkers in the Spring compared to the Autumn season. Given these numbers, the journey to Everest Base Camp is on a busy trail.

  • Every hiker who wishes to reach Base Camp must obtain two permits: the TIMS card and a national park admission permit.

  • The normal Everest Base Camp Trek is 130 kilometers round-trip and is divided into 12 days. It takes eight days to reach Everest Base Camp and four days to return. 12 days always includes acclimatization time and space.

Client Reviews

  • Into the Wild: Reliving the Thrills of the EBC trek

    If you're considering the Everest base camp trek, I highly recommend it. Be prepared for the unexpected and put in some training beforehand. It's an incredible challenge that's worth taking on. To make the experience even better, I suggest trekking with a reputable company like Mountain Rock Treks. They provide excellent support before, during, and after the trip. The company I went with had a great kit list, and their sleeping bags and extra jackets were incredibly warm. Our leader, Dawa, and our Sherpas were outstanding. So, don't hesitate, GO FOR IT!

  • From Lukla to Glory

    The guide offered excellent care, especially when I was sick due to altitude. He took me to the hospital and made sure that I was okay before he left. With all the difficulties while being a solo traveller in Nepal, I was left overwhelmed with gratitude for the warmth and support I received during this difficult time. Tour organiser Deepak even came and picked me up from the hospital and later dropped me in Lukla for my further journey back home. It was not just their unwavering dedication and thoughtful service but also the sense that they were committed to serving customer satisfaction. I highly thank Mountain Rock Treks for turning my trek into a memorable and safe adventure.
