About Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek

The Everest Base Camp luxury Trek is an adventure trip to the world's highest mountain base camp. This trek offers a luxury lodge stay from starting to the end. Usually, the Everest base camp trek is a 12-day itinerary for most trekkers. But this Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek has 14 days itinerary.

The Luxury Trek to the Everest Base Camp is highly recommended to those who prefer to stay in luxury lodges with luxury facilities along the walk. Suppose you have limited time and want to do a Luxury Base Camp Trek. In that case, it is also possible returning by helicopter after visiting the base camp direct to Kathmandu.

The Luxury Trekking to the Everest Base Camp begins with a scenic mountain flight to Lukla and treks to the base camp in 8 days and six days to Kathmandu from the base camp. After the flight to Lukla, you walk to Phakding for the first night's stay and trek to Namche Bazaar the next day. Namche Bazaar is one of the most beautiful towns in the Everest region, so you will spend two days practicing altitude here. Then you trek to Dibuche, Dingboche, Lobuche, and base camp.

After visiting the base camp and Kala Patthar, you slowly trek back to Thukla, Dibuche, Namche, Phakding, and Lukla, then take a flight back to Kathmandu.

Luxury Base Camp Trek For Slow Trekkers

The Luxury Everest Trek itinerary is perfect for slow trekkers who cannot walk 7-8 hours daily. Staying in ordinary rather than luxury lodges and following this itinerary is good for them. But you need to consult with us about the cost.
