The celebrity of all peaks- the mighty Everest!
It is safe to assume that almost everyone knows about Everest and a few of you might have also considered trying to summit it. Unfortunately, not many take the first step of actually going forward with it, so first of all congratulations on considering doing EBC and visiting our page. You are on the right trail already!
To reach the summit of Everest is a legendary, humongous task and not within reach for a majority of us, but the Everest Base Camp trek at 5,600 meters, definitely can be. It is no easy task in itself and requires commitment, but it certainly is an achievable goal for people from all walks of life.
Surrounded by countless high peaks, lofty glaciers, alpine lakes, and breathtaking scenes, you will be trekking through the mightiest of them all. Now that we have your attention, we will get right into the details.

Day 1: Kathmandu to Lukla to Phakding
Flying into Lukla is hands down one of the best flights you would ever take. So make sure you get the window seat on the left and enjoy the ride! The sight of the tiny village nestled in between the mighty Himalayas is mesmerizing. Added to that, is the fact that it is one of the most dangerous runways in the world! Thrilling, isn't it? And then you start your trek to Phakding post-lunch. It’s a three-hour trail and it's at a slightly lower altitude, so you can ease into it, most of it is a descending trail.
Day 2: Phakding to Namche Bazaar
Crossing a couple of bridges and trekking on the well-established trail will get you to Namche. And believe us, you will see it all in this little town. We like to say - it is the capital city of EBC Highway.
Day 3: Rest day at Namche Bazaar
This day will be about resting and getting acclimatized so you can visit the museum or roam around the city exploring its culture. The best part of this day will be that you will be able to catch the first glimpse of the mighty Everest!
Day 4: Namche to Tengboche
This day will be about trekking through some serene and beautiful jungles/forest. As you slowly start ascending higher up, you will notice a gradual change in landscape.
Day 5: Tengboche to Dingboche
On this day of the trek, you will officially get closer to the higher altitudes and dry lands.The dry arid landscape takes over the lush green one.
Day 6: Dingboche Rest Day
Get ready to feel the altitude this day.
Day 7: Dingboche to Lobuche
You will also get to eat at the world’s highest bakery and maybe depending on your energy level, get to see more Gokyo lakes.
Day 8: Lobuche to Gorakshep (Excursion to EBC)
This day will be the most magical and heartfelt experience on the trek, hands down. This day has a lot of action, and as you trek you will understand why. We trek to EBC post lunch and spend most of the day at EBC. By late afternoon we head back to Gorakshep. We will touch the highest altitude of the trek at Kalapatthar 5,643 m and watch sunset on the worldest highest mountain in the evening. And at night you will sleep at the highest Tea house in the world!
Day 9: Gorakshep to Pangboche
Hike upto Kalapatthar in the morning and retreat trek to Pangboche. Going up the mountain is optional but getting down is mandatory. So this day begins your journey down and there will be a lot ahead to be excited about.
Day 10: Pangboche to Namche/Jorsalle As you descend lower, we can say this can be the day when it’s okay to visit some of those party houses if you want and choose your poisons. Here, we either stop at Namche or head to Jorsalle, which has a tea house by the river, a serene place. You can either shorten the next hike to Lukla by heading to Jorsalle or celebrate the evening at Namche.
Day 11: Namche/Jorsalle to Lukla
Arguably one of the hardest days on the trek if you choose to stop at Namche, with a lot of trekking Steep uphill and downhill involved. But then you can have the best sleep you have ever had at the end of the day!
Day 12: Fly back to Ramechap
What goes up comes down! And so, this day will be the end of this journey. From Lukla, you will catch a flight back to Ramechap and get on a transport to Kathmandu to end your trip on a bustling note.

Helicopter rescue missions in such cases are covered by the insurance. However, you must check with your medical insurance before signing off on the documents. If not please make sure you get one before your trek. Please get in touch with us if you need any help regarding this.
7) Trek Permits A permit required to trek in Nepal will be provided by Beyond The Wall.
8) Mobile network and connectivity
About connectivity, since you are traveling to a different country, you can buy a local sim card or update your SIM for international travel. But it is not mandatory as Nepal is a wifi-enabled country with every hotel, cafe, and even tea house throughout the trek having wifi connectivity, although at additional cost. If you still want to buy a sim you can buy it from the airport in Kathmandu. We recommend you buy a SIM from the operator called Namaste. To buy a sim you will need your Passport / any form of ID, a passport size photo, and around 1200/- Nepali rupees, ie. about 750/ INR.
9) Use of Electrical Devices and Connectivity Electrical appliances use 220-240 volts and 50 MHZ of power to operate in Nepal (Some countries use 110-120 volts of electricity, and accept very specific shaped plugs.) If your appliance’s plug doesn’t match the shape of these sockets, you will need a travel plug adapter to the plugin. These adapters help fit your appliances in any socket.
10) Local Currency and Payments For any of your personal needs, it is better if you exchange currency at the airport. Although many places in Kathmandu do accept Indian Rupees, it would be ideal if you exchange your currency there. There are many licensed money exchangers in the city. Make sure you carry enough Nepali Rupees for the trek if you want extra facilities like hot water (for bathing), packaged drinking water, etc. There are ATMs in Kathmandu where you can withdraw money using your International debit/credit cards, but they will charge a nominal fee for each transaction. Please check with your bank that your debit/credit card can do transactions in Nepal. Keeping some spare US Dollars is a good idea.
11) Batch size We as an organization believe in giving the best of the experience that comes with the outdoors. We also understand that nature is something that is better experienced without much disturbance around and in calm solitude so, on the basis of keeping it a truly uplifting experience, we keep our group size limited to 6 trekkers for Package 1 and 10 trekkers for Package 2.
12) Tipping custom for guides and porters. It is a part of the trekking culture to tip your porters and guides.
We as an organization put in our hundred percent to make sure that you get the best experience throughout the trek with us. To do so, we personally book tea houses for each of our trekkers prior to the trek date and ensure good quality and service.
However, we do understand that due to unforseeable circumstances, you might have to cancel your trek. We will process the refund as below-
More than 30 days before the start of the trek or due to natural calamities: 4% cancellation fee
15 days - 30 days before start of trek: 15% cancellation fee
14 days - start of trek: No refund can be provided.
The money will be transferred to the bank accounts from where the payment was made within a week.
