Overview of Everest Three Base Camp Trek

Our Everest three base camp trek is an ambitious trekking adventure to the Nepalese Himalayas, located in the Everest region of the Khumbu Valley. This trek follows the classic route of the Everest but avoids the usual crowds and chaos.

Over the course of 14 days of our Everest three base camp trek, you will travel through deep valleys, cross rushing rivers, and ascend the endless glaciers.

And, the aim is to step into the terrain of three magnificent base camps of the planet: Ama Dablam Base Camp (4600 m), Island Peak Base Camp (5087 m), and Everest Base Camp (5364 m).

These three destinations are like the Three Musketeers of the Everest region, which every hiker dreams of reaching one day. Thus, instead of separate itineraries, we have combined these popular locations into one comprehensive 14 days Everest three base camp trek, so you can tick off your bucket list in a single trip to Nepal.

Additionally, we have also included a helicopter return from Gorakshep to Lukla, reducing your trekking days. Plus, you will have four-star hotel accommodations in Kathmandu and high-quality lodging along the route.

Thus, our Everest three base camp trek promises you complete comfort and support, making it an unforgettable experience of your life.

Our Everest three base camp trek with helicopter return departs from Kathmandu and follows the legendary path of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.

The stunning mountain landscape of Sagarmatha National Park through Lukla, Phakding, Namche, and Phortse will lead us to the Ama Dablam Base Camp, located right beneath the impressive Ama Dablam Peak (6812 m).

Then, the beautiful secluded trail through Chhukung and Chhukung Ri (5546 m) will take you to the Island Peak Base Camp, where you will stand directly under the Imja Tse Peak (6165 m).

Next, our Everest three base camp trek itinerary will take you across the overwhelming altitude of Kongma La Pass (5535 m) before you make your way to Everest Base Camp.

The next morning’s hike will carry you to the summit of Kala Patthar (5644 m). Then, a helicopter will be ready to fly you back to Lukla from Gorakshep, right where your Everest three base camp trek started.

At all these base camps, you will find yourself in the Himalayas’ highest, where you will see the most impressive silhouettes of Ama Dablam, Everest, Nuptse, Thamserku, Lhotse, Pumori, and many others.

During the entire period of our Everest three base camp trek, you will also meet the Sherpa people, known for their distinctive hospitality and solidarity, as well as their unique Buddhist traditions.

Please remember, our 14 days Everest three base camp trek is quite a hard journey, and some mountaineering experience is therefore advisable. It is particularly delightful during the spring and autumn seasons in Nepal.

Everest Three Base Camp Trek - Essential Information

Best Season

The best time for the Everest three base camp trek falls in the months just before the summer monsoons (mid-April to late June) and right after them (September to mid-November).

During these times, the Khumbu Valley will be alive with climbers and hikers. Yet, our Everest three base camp trek will also take you into those parts of the Khumbu Valley that are less chaotic, so you can truly experience the magic and peace of the valley.

The weather will also be fine as you will be far from the monsoon season. In all three camps, you may experience a slight cold in the evenings, but the temperatures will remain manageable.

In these periods, you will see only a few traces of snow, so you can literally be in the place that brims with beauty and magic with maximum peace and calm.

Difficulty Level

The Everest three base camp trek, if undertaken individually, would have been classified as a category II moderate hiking experience. However, we have combined all three base camp treks in a single adventure, which also includes crossing one of the most challenging Everest Passes.

This elevates our Everest three base camp trek with helicopter return to a demanding category III hiking experience in the Khumbu Valley. The highest point of our Everest three base camp trek reaches 5644 m at Kala Patthar, but you will also face the challenge of conquering the Kongma La Pass at 5535 m and Chhukung Ri at 5546 m.

Although the helicopter flight reduces the return trekking days, you will still need to tackle the diverse terrain of Sagarmatha National Park, which can steeply ascend and descend.

Additionally, you shouldn’t underestimate the risk of altitude sickness. Therefore, our 14 days Everest three base camp trek is best suited for those who have some mountaineering experience.

Is the Everest Three Base Camp Trek suitable for New Hikers?

Undeniably, our Everest three base camp trek consists of numerous obstacles and challenges. However, if you are prepared physically and mentally for these demands of the trek, and have a good level of fitness, then you can consider joining the 14 days Everest three base camp trek even if you are a beginner hiker.

For your convenience, you can also tailor the trip by omitting the hike to any one of the base camps, which can save you from extra exertion. However, you will not be able to avoid the strain of long day hikes each day and the tough Nepali mountain terrain.

So, before you engage in our Everest three base camp trek, we suggest our beginner participants gain experience first through the Everest Base Camp trek, the Ama Dablam Base Camp trek, or the Island Base Camp trek.

Please consult a doctor if you have cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, or respiratory issues before joining our Everest three base camp trek.

Altitude Sickness/Acute Mountain Sickness/AMS and Acclimatization

The AMS is an unavoidable part of any high-altitude mountain trekking journey. This condition arises in the form of several physical manifestations because of low air pressure and low oxygen levels at higher altitudes, along with an increased walking pace.

If we give our bodies adequate time to acclimatize to the elevation, we can effectively prevent and treat AMS to a greater degree. Therefore, please rest and sleep early each day your trek ends.

The most effective way to prevent AMS is by following the principle of trekking higher and sleeping lower, which is known as the sawtooth technique.

Following this, we have included an ascent of Chhukung Ri during your stay at Chhukung Village to ensure you are perfectly acclimatized before you tackle the Kongma La Pass.

Additionally, we have shortened walking durations on the days leading up to any base camp, so you will have ample time to rest and acclimate. However, some minor signs of AMS may still show up, such as headache, nausea, appetite loss, and sleep loss.

Drink lots of fluid such as tea, water, soup, broth, juice, etc. If the symptoms still remain, then descend and rest. You can also choose to take Diamox in case the symptoms don’t go away.

We ensure that our guides are well-trained and aware of the actions they should take to reduce the AMS.

Preparation and Training

Even if you are in great shape and have tackled the mountains of Nepal before, the terrain will still keep throwing new challenges your way every day.

Therefore, we advise all our participants, whether you are a beginner or an experienced trekker, to prepare with an appropriate fitness routine to handle whatever the Everest three base camp trek may bring.

At first, begin with gentle exercises such as walks, runs on flat terrain, and then advance to running longer distances. Choose the diverse terrain, which can be forest, hills, cliffs, or ridges.

You can also prepare yourself physically with squats, planks, or push-ups, along with some weights or some sports such as football and basketball. Yoga and deep breathing will also help you tackle AMS.

Then, you can take yourself on a real hiking adventure in your hometown, so you can also get the altitude training before your departure.

Possible Alteration (Shortening or Extension) of the 14 Days Everest Three Base Camp Trek

If you think that undertaking the Everest three base camp trek all at once will be too demanding for you, then you can also personalize your adventure by removing any of the base camps from your itinerary.

You can skip the trek to the Ama Dablam Base Camp or Island Peak Base Camp.

If you have adventure in your blood, then you can also choose to ascend any of the peaks during your Everest three base camp trek. You can aim to summit the Ama Dablam Peak or Island Peak from their respective base camps.

You can also think of including a trek to Gokyo Lake and take on the challenge of Cho La Pass, which is another outstanding Everest pass, along with the Kongma La Pass.

Sleeping, Eating, and Transport

You will spend three nights in Kathmandu at a 4-star Fairfield by Marriott hotel near Thamel, where we will accommodate you in double rooms with bed and breakfast service.

You will have access to 24-hour hot and cold showers, a private high-class bathroom in your room, WiFi, and elegant furnishings available for your use.

During the trek, you will stay in the best available teahouses that will provide you with rooms, lunches, dinners, and breakfasts. In these lodges, you can recharge your devices (cameras, cell phones, etc.), access WiFi, and enjoy hot showers.

However, please note that you may have to pay an additional fee for these services.

For your transportation needs, we offer all international and domestic private transfers to and from the airport, as well as the Kathmandu-Lukla-Kathmandu flight and a helicopter flight from Gorakshep to Lukla.

Travel Insurance

Kindly know that from April 1, 2025, Nepal has mandated travel insurance for all foreign trekkers. According to this new regulation, all trekkers must have valid insurance that covers medical emergencies, high-altitude sickness, and helicopter rescue before they can obtain a trekking permit.

Therefore, after you finalize your seat in our Everest three base camp trek, please send us your insurance copy along with your documents.

For our Everest Three Base Camp trek, please specify the maximum altitude for helicopter rescue up to 5700 meters.

Also, ensure that your insurance plan includes standard travel coverage for possible cancellations or delays in your travel plans or flights, as well as protection against damage, loss, or theft of your personal gear, and extra stays.

Permits essential for the Everest Three Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return

All three base camps included in our Everest three base camp trek with helicopter return are located within the Sagarmatha National Park of the Khumbu Valley.

Therefore, we will only require two permits to trek to all three base camps, which are:

Sagarmatha National Park permit: NPR 100 per Nepali hiker, NPR 3000 per foreign hiker, and NPR 1500 per SAARC hiker
Khumbu Local Area permit: NPR 2000 per hiker, except for Nepali people

Life Himalaya Trekking will be arranging all these permits as your representative in Nepal and will also be covering their respective fees through our total Everest three base camp trek cost.

Mobile Communication and WiFi/Internet

The most effective and economical way to stay connected through your mobile during our 14 days Everest three base camp trek is through the Namaste/Nepal Telecom network.

Ncell will also offer you a good and affordable service, but NTC will offer you a better signal in the remote mountain valleys of Nepal. You can easily buy the NTC SIM Card in Kathmandu, or you can also choose to use its eSIM Card.

It will offer you excellent signal in Lukla, Phakding, Namche, Phortse, and Tengboche, but the signal will be sporadic after that. It will also offer you a 4G network so you can use the internet on your mobile at a greater speed and lower cost.

Another option to use the internet in the Everest region is through the prepaid WiFi cards from Everest Link or AirLink. You may also have free WiFi at Lukla and the Namche route.

Upon arrival at the international airport in Kathmandu, our representative will pick you up from the airport and check you into your respective hotel. The next day you will visit some of the popular world heritage sites of Nepal like Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath (monkey temple), and Boudhanath. Later in the afternoon, you will be introduced to our trekking guide assigned during the trek and the managing director.

They will provide you with all the necessary equipment if necessary for the trek and all the required information before going on the trek.

Everest Three Base Camp trek route

After an early breakfast on the third day morning, you will take a 35 min flight to Lukla. This flight and landing in Lukla are considered one of the most enduring, jaw-dropping flights in the world. After a short break, you will start the long waited Everest three base camp trek in the Himalayas. Your trek starts by descending the river bank of Dudhkoshi river and trekking upstream to Phakding. This day is short as compared to other days as you have to acclimatize to the high altitude and terrain.

After morning breakfast we start our journey to Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa Capital. This day is longer than the earlier day. During the trek to Namche Bazaar, you will see the first glimpse of The mighty Everest for the first time on a clear day.

 Verified EBC da sogno + visita Katmandu d’eccezione Grazie a Life Himalaya Trekking, io e mio marito abbiamo potuto realizzare un sogno. Sin dal momento dell’organizzazione dall’Italia, Shiba si è dimostrato estremamente disponibile e celere nelle comunicazioni. E, una volta qui, abbiamo potuto verificare immediatamente quanto efficiente sia l’intera equipe che compone la compagnia. Shiba è di una dolcezza e simpatia infinita, ci ha coccolati accompagnandoci attraverso tutti gli aspetti organizzativi del nostro viaggio, dal trekking al Campo Base dell’Everest alle visite culturali a Katmandu e d’intorni, passando per tutte le tipologie di trasporto di cui abbiamo avuto bisogno. Grazie a lui, abbiamo avuto il piacere di trascorrere il nostro tempo in Nepal insieme a persone uniche, che ci hanno permesso di conoscere da vicino questo meraviglioso Paese e la gente che lo abita. Tika è stato la nostra guida durante l’escursione verso il EBC e, grazie a lui e al nostro porter Podam, abbiamo vissuto un’esperienza meravigliosa ed autentica! Entrambi molto preparati, sono stati bravissimi a prendersi cura di noi, grazie alla loro attenzione anche per le piccole cose, ai consigli e alle nozioni che ci hanno fornito, ma, soprattutto, grazie alla loro simpatia che ci ha permesso di vivere con leggerezza anche le situazioni più difficili. Tika è un intrattenitore eccezionale, nonché ottimo fotografo; è stato la nostra famiglia per più di una settimana e gli siamo molto grati. L’intera esperienza per raggiungere il Campo Base dell’Everest è stata totalizzante, ci ha rapiti sotto ogni aspetto, paesaggistico e umano. È stato emozionante raggiungere la meta attraverso un percorso durato circa una settimana. Ma è stato altrettanto incredibile e commovente volare con l’elicottero da Gorak Shep fino a Lukla, ripercorrendo dall’alto ogni passo conquistato e ogni luogo vissuto durante i giorni precedenti. Ci teniamo a ringraziare anche Promot, Raj, Rajan e, soprattutto, la nostra eccezionale guida turistica Ajya, che ci ha accompagnato attraverso i luoghi più iconici di Katmandu, raccontandone la storia e ogni aspetto culturale. La passione e l’amore per il proprio lavoro ci ha permesso di immergerci in un mondo che, altrimenti, avremmo compreso e vissuto solo a metà. Grazie anche a tutti gli altri membri che hanno collaborato alla riuscita del nostro viaggio. Questo è un arrivederci, non vediamo l’ora di tornare in Nepal!

 Verified Unforgettable life experience We were extremely satisfied with our Everest Base Camp trek with Life Himalaya Trekking. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, everything was organized perfectly. Due to weather conditions, the company arranged a helicopter flight for us, which made the start of our adventure even more special. Our guide, Rabin, was exceptional. He was kind, caring, and looked after us every step of the way. Whenever we felt unwell, he made sure we were comfortable and helped us recover. His knowledge of the mountains, careful approach to acclimatization, and genuine care for our well-being allowed us to continue the journey safely. Most importantly, he treated us like family, making the entire trek feel like a trip with friends rather than a guided tour. Our porter, Arjun, was equally amazing. He was always cheerful, funny, and incredibly helpful. During acclimatization hikes and challenging moments, he even helped with our backpacks when we were struggling. His positive attitude made every day more enjoyable. Both Rabin and Arjun are true gems and a huge asset to the company. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us. A special thank you also goes to Shiba, the owner of Life Himalaya Trekking. He was friendly, professional, and made our experience truly special from beginning to end. I also had a unique experience during this trip as I participated in the Everest Marathon. Rabin and Arjun came to support me, pace me, and cheer me on during the final kilometers, helping me reach the finish line. It meant so much to me and is something I will never forget. Thank you, Life Himalaya Trekking, for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We are incredibly grateful for the memories, friendships, and support we received throughout this unforgettable adventure. With love and gratitude, Dominika

 Verified Awesome experience with Life Himalayan I had a wonderful time trekking EBC. Birsha Rai was an awesome guide he made sure I had anything I needed. He made sure my accommodations were good and I had plenty of water and snacks for the trek. Dhan Kajl was my porter and he took extra care of my things my bag was always clean and dry when delivered to my room. He even carried my day pack the last stretch of EBC trek. Life Himalayan took care of me from the moment I landed and was without one bag to making sure I made all my helicopter connections. Someone was there every step of the way. I am so grateful that I chose to travel with Life Himalayan. Thank you! 😊

 Verified 5 Stars! Life Himalaya Trekking gave us an amazing experience! We had the most wonderful guide, Jal Tamang. Not only did he provide amazing conversation, high spirits, and tons of great information about the Everest region, he went above and beyond when a member of our party got altitude sickness. He worked tirelessly to bring food & water to them during their hospital stay, but also coordinated their time in Lukla after they had had to descend. I still made it to Base Camp, and throughout our journey he made the entire experience unforgettable. The accommodations were also truly top notch, with the earlier tea houses offering hot showers, readily available charging, and even heating pads under the mattresses. Highly recommend, thank you Jal!

 Verified Lifetime Experience! Life Himalaya Trekking took great care of us. We wanted to do Everest Base Camp in as little time as possible and found this company. We found out they are family owned Sheba is the owner and his son Raj were both awesome. Sheba first started as a Sherpa, then became a guide and now owns his own company. Our guide Rabin was so kind to us! Rabin always went out of his way to take care of us every step of the way. Rabin also started as a Sherpa and now is a guide. I would highly recommend this company our shortened trip to Everest Base Camp from 10 to 7 days because of our tight schedule was a success and a trip of a life time that my good friend and I will remember the rest of our lives. What an amazing experience and a spacial thank you to Sheba, Raj, and our incredible guide Rabin for making it happen and bringing us back safe.

 Verified Submitting Mera Peak - thanks to Sagar and Robin for making it happen I had a truly wonderful 11 days trek that culminated in successfully summitting Mera Peak. My guides Sagar and Robin were outstanding. They built rapport with each hiker in the group and understood each persons capabilities. They walked with us every step of the way and were always on hand to make sure we safely crossed tricky and dangerous sections. They encouraged, entertained, and gave us moral support especially during the push to summit. At one point, the going got so tough that I was almost ready to turn back. Sagar gave me the much needed encouragement, confidence, and made sure I didn't give up. I couldn't have made it to the top without them. The views from the top were just spectacular and it was worth every bit of the effort. Thanks to Life Himalaya Trekking for making it possible for me to have this beautiful once in a lifetime adventure!!!

 Verified Excellent team fantastic service My friend and I completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Life Himalaya in April 2026, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Shiba was incredibly prompt with communication and thoughtfully customised the itinerary according to our requirements and preferences, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. We were warmly welcomed at the airport by our guide, Kiran, and from that moment onward he ensured we were well looked after every step of the journey. His care, compassion, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of the mountains and local culture were outstanding. Kiran consistently prioritised our safety, comfort, and enjoyment, making the trek both rewarding and memorable. Our porters, Dhan Kumar and Asthan, were equally caring and supportive. I wholeheartedly recommend Life Himalaya for their exceptional trekking experience, professionalism, and genuine Himalayan hospitality. Kiran is truly one of the best guides we have experienced, and we look forward to returning for more adventures with Life Himalaya in the future.

 Verified The best memories and the best of times Life Himalayas were outstanding from the start to finish, every situation catered gor. I especially liked the personal touches from the owners Sheba, he needs every one ate the start of the trip and take toy out for a farewell meal at the end. Our guide Pro and sherpa Arg were both absolute hero's. Would not hesitate in recommending this comany
