Private Everest Base Camp Trek & All-Inclusive 14-Day Tour

Summary

Sherpa Heartland Trekking Adventure with Guided Acclimatization

This is your chance to trek from Lukla through Sherpa villages and Sagarmatha National Park all the way to Everest Base Camp—with private guides handling every detail. Visit Namche Bazaar’s lively market, climb up to Kala Patthar for sunrise views of Everest, and share laughs with fellow trekkers over hot tea in mountain lodges. It’s a journey you’ll feel in your legs—and remember forever.

What’s the experience like?

“You’ll want to keep your eyes open for the first glimpse of Everest,” our guide grinned as we crossed the Hillary Bridge, wind whipping prayer flags above us. The trek started with that wild flight into Lukla—my stomach did a little flip as we landed on that short strip, but the excitement in the air was contagious. From there, every step along the rocky trails felt like joining a moving caravan of trekkers, porters, and yaks, all heading deeper into the Khumbu Valley.

Namche Bazaar buzzed with life—shops selling yak cheese, trekkers swapping stories over mugs of sweet tea, and kids darting between stalls. We spent an extra day here to get used to the altitude; I remember waking up early just to watch the sun hit the peaks from the Everest View Hotel’s terrace. The cold bit at my fingers but I couldn’t stop staring at Ama Dablam’s sharp outline against a cloudless sky. Our guide shared stories about Sherpa traditions and pointed out tiny details I’d have missed—like how locals stack stones for luck along the path.

The higher we climbed, the quieter it got. Passing through Tengboche Monastery, monks’ chants drifted out into crisp mountain air while incense mixed with pine needles. At Dingboche and Lobuche, everything slowed down—breathing took effort and even zipping up my jacket felt like work. But reaching Everest Base Camp itself was surreal: colorful tents scattered on gravel, climbers prepping gear, everyone pausing for photos under that famous rock marker. On Kala Patthar before sunrise, my boots crunched over frozen ground as we waited for golden light to spill across Everest’s summit.
