Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek different?
Same classic route and acclimatization schedule, but with the best lodges on the trail, private guiding, multi-course meals, five-star hotels in Kathmandu and a helicopter return instead of walking back down.
Where do we stay on the trek?
Luxury lodges with heated rooms and attached bathrooms in Phakding, Namche and Tengboche. Above Dingboche no luxury lodges exist, so we reserve the best premium rooms available.
How fit do I need to be?
No mountaineering experience is needed, but you should be comfortable walking 5-7 hours a day. We recommend 8-10 weeks of cardio training before departure.
When is the best time to go?
Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) have the most stable weather, clearest views and most reliable helicopter flights.
Can the trek be private or customised?
Yes. Every luxury departure can run as a private trip, and we can add extra rest days, a private helicopter to Lukla or a longer Kathmandu stay.
