  Everest Base Camp Trek of a lifetime with iTrekNepal - I booked an Everest Base Camp trek with iTrekNepal in November of 2022. Overall it was an incredibly enjoyable, rewarding, and seamless experience and I am so grateful to the... read more entire team at iTrekNepal for the memories I was able to make!

I arrived at Kathmandu airport before the trek where Shree and a friend were able to get me through airport security quickly and efficiently. I was driven to Shree’s wonderful hotel, Bhaktapur Paradise, where I was given a comfortable room and enjoyed some incredible meals.

We spent the first 2 days prepping for the trek- acclimatization hikes in town, shopping, reviewing the itinerary; and come the 3rd day we were on our way to Ramechhap airport. This airport is 4 hours away from Kathamandu and is used during peak trekking season to reduce traffic at Kathmandu airport.

We woke up at 2 in the morning and drove until 6 am. Depending on the weather you will have to wait a little to get up to Lukla but the weather for us was okay so we made it up that morning.

The flight, although it seemed liked it would be scary, was actually very smooth and it felt very safe. We used Sita Airlines and it’s about a 13-passenger propeller plane. I myself am VERY scared of flying and even more scared of small planes but I found this flight to be very easy and manageable.

Once we got to Lukla the trek began after a brief coffee break. Day 1 involved lots of downhill so it was a really easy start and a way for us to get our mountain bearings. After a quick dinner at the first tea house and a good nights sleep, it was already day 2.

Day 2 to Namche started off with a mix of up and down hill. After lunch it was straight uphill until Namche. That is the first part of the trek where you need to start putting in a lot of effort. Namche is a hub on the EBCT where you can purchase pretty much anything if you find yourself needing extra supplies for the rest of the trek.

After Namche it’s pretty continuously uphill from there with standard terrain ranging from dirt paths to slightly rocky paths. On our way up we did a few acclimatization hikes to get us used to the altitude. Although tough, these were VERY helpful and made getting to base camp much easier in my opinion. Not to mention, these hikes were accompanied by unbelievable views.

We got the privilege of seeing Amadablam base camp and meeting the famous Nepali climber, Nimsdai. It was a really awesome treat for us and I’m so stoked to have met such a huge name in the mountaineering community.

Days 7-9 involve the highest/rockiest terrain of the trek. This includes Gorakshep, Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar, and then all the way back to Thukla. This is definitely the hardest part of the trip as it’s the coldest and the highest. Of course this particular part was also the most rewarding and it was such an incredible and fulfilling moment reaching base camp. We celebrated with a photoshoot, some chocolate, and many thanks to Amrit our guide for getting us there in one piece!!!

By this point I was starting to feel under the weather but we pushed on and our guide Amrit, as usual, was incredible. Always encouraging me to take my time, slowing the pace as needed, making sure I was comfortable/okay. It made this tough part doable! I recommend buying multiple buffs and wearing them as MUCH as you can on the trail, covering your nose and mouth constantly. A lot of dust is kicked up by you and others trekking that you’re inhaling, even if you don’t see it. I didn’t wear it nearly as much as I should have and I had a pretty bad cough as a result. Amrit and my other trekking partner wore their buffs almost all the time and they never had a cough!

After Thukla on the way down, it’s much more manageable terrain and you’re able to cover a lot of distance per day. The last 3 days of the trek we covered about 18 km per day (give or take).

The last few days were long and hard but having put the more difficult stretch of the trek behind us, it was very manageable and we had lots of fun the last few days.

Finally, we made it back to Lukla where we did a little shopping, said goodbye to our porter, Ram (who is incredible by the way), and had 1 final trek dinner.

We got up the next morning on day 12 and made our way over to the airport (about a 1 minute walk ). Due to some technical difficulties with one of Sita’s planes, we were delayed a few hours but we made it back to Ramechhap safely and the car was there to pick us up immediately to drive us to Kathmandu.

Every detail front to back was taken care of and arranged by Shree and our guide Amrit. I was never without help/assistance/anything I needed the entire journey and it was a breeze going through Itreknepal. Not only were they extremely accommodating to my strict travel schedule, they were also very flexible and willing to make any last minute changes as needed. It truly is a personalized trek suited to your needs.

After a welcome home dinner and a little sight seeing the next morning, I was brought to the airport where Shree’s brother was able to get me into the exclusive airport lounge and through security VIP style. I was able to board my outbound flight on time and even got an upgraded plane seat.

I would highly recommend anyone looking to trek to EBC to use Shree and his team as they were professional, helpful, punctual, and overall just a pleasure to work with and made my first trip to Nepal so incredible!! When I return it will be with iTrekNepal <3
