What to Expect on the Everest Base Camp 10 Day Tour
The adventure begins with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, often described as one of the most thrilling flights in the world. From Lukla, the trail winds through lush forests, suspension bridges, and mountain valleys. Trekkers pass through Phakding and continue to Namche Bazaar, the bustling Sherpa capital filled with colorful markets, bakeries, and mountaineering shops.
The route then continues to Tengboche, home to a famous monastery with panoramic views of Everest and surrounding peaks. As you trek higher toward Dingboche and Lobuche, the landscapes change dramatically, with rugged terrain and glacial valleys replacing green forests. The journey culminates at Everest Base Camp, where you’ll stand among expedition tents, ice seracs, and fluttering prayer flags. For many travelers, this moment represents the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
Best Time to Trek
The ideal seasons for the Everest Base Camp 10 Day Tour are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November). During these times, the weather is generally stable, skies are clear, and visibility is excellent. Spring also brings blooming rhododendrons along the lower trails, while autumn offers crisp mountain air and stunning photography opportunities.
Preparing for the Everest Base Camp Trek
This trek is graded as hard, which means a good level of physical fitness is essential. Prior training with cardio, hiking, and strength-building exercises is highly recommended. Trekking permits, guides, and porters can be arranged through local tour operators, ensuring that your journey is safe, well-supported, and enjoyable.
Altitude acclimatization is another key factor for success. The itinerary is carefully structured to allow your body to adjust gradually to higher elevations, reducing the risk of altitude sickness.
Accommodation and Meals
Along the trail, trekkers stay in traditional tea houses—small, family-run lodges that offer basic but comfortable accommodations. These tea houses provide an authentic glimpse into the lifestyle of the mountain communities. Meals typically include hearty Nepali dishes like dal bhat (lentils, rice, and vegetables), as well as international options such as noodles, soups, and pasta.
Sharing meals with fellow trekkers around a warm stove often becomes one of the most memorable aspects of the journey.

Reviews
Perfect day trip
Perfect day trip from Denver. Right amount of time at each stop. Much better than renting a car. With someone else driving, we got to relax and enjoy the incredible views. Our guide Monica was fantastic!
GREAT TOUR AND GUIDE
Harley was an outstanding tour guide. From the very start, he was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the area. He struck the perfect balance between sharing fascinating facts and keeping the tour relaxed and enjoyable. Harley was attentive to everyone in the group, answered questions thoughtfully, and made sure the experience felt personal rather than scripted. His professionalism, sense of humor, and deep local insight truly elevated the tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would happily recommend Harley to anyone looking for an exceptional experience.

We are definitely going back and will do the Annapurna trek with you, guys. Our trekking to the Everest Base Camp was simply amazing. We chose what I think is the best company and I am positive that their best trait, what tells them apart from other companies, is the way you can see they care for their clients and how they adapt to their specific needs. From the beginning we noticed how personal their attention was, since we felt more like guests, rather than their clients. Basu and his wife are such nice people and I'm glad we got to know them a little during our trip. As for Achut Pandey, you can notice his expertise of more than 20 years as a guide. He was so attentive all the time, as well as generous and kind. Achut is someone who you can trust with your safety because he will know how to handle any situation in the best way, always putting your well-being in the first place. See you soon, Warm regards from Madrid🤗🤗.
By far my best travel experience. Very well organized, they made me feel important from the first moment they waited for me at the airport. The team is made up of beautiful, receptive and patient people 😊
I would definitely recommend Nepal Social Treks to anyone visiting this fabulous country. I was one of a party of four who took the Wonderful Nepal Tour in November 2019. It certainly met, if not exceeded, our expectations and we had an amazing time. Our guide, Vim, was knowledgeable and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Our driver, Naveroz, was just amazing – how he negotiated the mountain roads, hairpin bends and general chaos of the roads is anyone’s guess but we were pleased he knew what he was doing! The tour covers key places including Pokhara, Kathmandhu, Chitwan National Park and Lumbini and I would recommend it to anyone interested in seeing Nepal but not wanting to go trekking. All the hotels were of a good standard, very comfortable with breakfast included in all and dinner at some (all details set out clearly in our itinerary). All entrance fees for sites were included in the tour price. We found it easy to communicate with the team through emails; they were extremely helpful and were happy to tailor the tour to fit in with our flights to and from Nepal. On arrival in Kathmandhu we were met by a representative of the company and taken to our hotel and from there we went to the office to meet Basu and Samjhana before heading off to a welcome dinner. When we arrived back in Kathmandhu at the end of the trip, we were asked to pop into the office where, to our surprise, there was a birthday cake waiting for my husband who was celebrating his 60th birthday that day. Very thoughtful and over and above what we expected so thank you so much. Tips – take the flight option from Pokhara back to Kathmandhu, it’s worth the additional cost. It will save you a day’s car journey and should give you a bit of extra time to explore Kathmandhu. I’d also recommend taking the mountain flight to the Himalayas – it was probably the highlight of our month long trip to India and Nepal.
