There is a reason the Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek remains the #1 "Best Seller" at Walkers Expedition. It isn’t just a hike; it is a pilgrimage to the top of the world. Standing at the base of the highest peak on Earth (8,848.86m) is a life-altering moment that every adventurer should experience at least once.
As we move into the 2026 trekking season, the EBC trail has evolved. From the new flight logistics at Ramechhap to the upgraded "luxury" teahouses in Namche, here is everything you need to know about booking our flagship 14-Day Everest Base Camp Package.
🚁 1. The Journey Begins: The "Lukla" Experience
Every EBC adventure starts with a flight to Lukla (2,840m).
The 2026 Update: During the peak seasons (Spring and Autumn), most flights now depart from Manthali (Ramechhap) instead of Kathmandu to reduce air traffic. At Walkers Expedition, we handle all your ground transfers to Ramechhap and secure your flight slots, so you don't have to worry about the logistics.
🏛️ 2. Namche Bazaar: The Heart of Sherpa Culture

You aren't just here for the mountains; you're here for the people. Namche Bazaar (3,440m) is the vibrant capital of the Khumbu. Our 14-day package includes two nights here for essential acclimatization.
Don't Miss: A visit to the Everest View Hotel for your first panoramic glimpse of the "Big Three": Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam.
🛐 3. Spiritual Solitude at Tengboche
One of the most moving parts of the trek is visiting the Tengboche Monastery (3,867m). Set against the backdrop of Ama Dablam, it is the largest monastery in the region. Many trekkers find that receiving a blessing from the monks here provides the spiritual "fuel" needed for the higher altitudes ahead.
💎 4. The "Double Peak" Finale: EBC & Kala Patthar
Our package is designed to give you two distinct highlights:
- Everest Base Camp (5,364m): Stand on the Khumbu Glacier, surrounded by the colorful tents of elite climbing expeditions (in Spring).
- Kala Patthar (5,545m): While you can't see the summit of Everest from the Base Camp itself, the sunrise hike to Kala Patthar offers the ultimate view of the Everest summit, glowing in the morning light.
