    For those with limited time this is a good and varied introductory trek with 3 full days walking, starting from and ending in Kathmandu. It is also very quiet - very few other trekkers. Hotels are surprisingly good. I did this trek in mid-April, visibility was quite poor, and now most trekking trails on Day 3 have been made into roads, this is of course neither the guide or the Tour Operator's fault, I highly recommend Mountain Rock and will be coming back to do another trek with them. Dipak offers great and speedy service in the planning process and takes great care of everything.

    Our tour was incredibly comfortable, thanks to choosing your company for our trip. The presence of knowledgeable guides made our entire journey thoroughly enjoyable. Among them, our stay in Kathmandu was exceptionally remarkable. Our guide, Rabindra, showered us with great affection and dedicated his time to us for the entire duration. He patiently and kindly explained every detail, ensuring our understanding of Kathmandu. We derived immense pleasure from our trip and are considering planning a future adventure to Bhutan with your esteemed company.

    My wife and I wanted something adventurous and affordable, and boy, did we hit the jackpot with this one! First off, the team at Mountain Rock Treks was top-notch. They were super friendly and made us feel right at home. The whole journey was a visual feast for the eyes. I mean, come on, the beauty of the Everest region is mind-blowing! Majestic mountains, snow-capped peaks, and breathtaking landscapes were everywhere we looked. It was like being in a fairytale. The helicopter return was the cherry on top. We got to witness the grandeur of Everest from up above, soaring through the clouds. It was an experience like no other, and trust me, the pictures we took are envy-inducing! If you're up for an adventure that won't break the bank, I highly recommend Mountain Rock Treks for their Everest Base Camp Trek with a helicopter return. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the beauty of the Himalayas up close and personal.

    What does this mean? What are the normal sleeping arrangements on the trek? I'm looking at trekking May 2024.

    Price / Availability
    • Mountain Rock Treks And ExpeditionOperatorWritten March 2023

      The price of 2,456 is likely the base price for the trek without additional upgrades. The +3,000 is likely the cost of a private room during the trek. Most treks involve staying in shared accommodations such as guesthouses or lodges with shared rooms and bathroom facilities. The additional cost would be for a private room with an attached bathroom in most guesthouses or lodges along the way.
