  • Short Everest Base Camp Trek reviewer 1
    · March 23rd, 2025
    I have done this trek at the end of february as solo traveler (nobody else joined). Beautiful weather, nice scenery, friendly people, very few tourists. Hotel in Kathmandu is in busiest tourist part of city - bring earplugs. Trek was hard but rewarding. 7 days up and 3 days down. On the way up the guide adapted to my pace and we managed to finished about 2-3 pm every day. The way down, on the other hand, was like a race. No time to enjoy surroundings, head down watching your step. Lodges are simple buildings. One big dining room with a stove in the middle (only place where you can warm up) which they light up around 5-6 pm when the sun is down. rooms are very simple and cold. No source of heat, feels like in the fridge, you can see your breath. You go to sleep in cold and wakeup in even more cold or freeze.Your health is your responsibility so bring medications which you might need. Food is nice and plenty to choose from. It is almost the same in every lodge just the prices go up as you go higher. Only 3 meals included, NO drinks whatsoever and you will need to drink a lot. Bring your own teabags and pay just for boiled water (you save a lot) Due to bad weather I had to stay extra night in Lukla and fly next day. Be aware Peregrine does not cover you and you will have to pay for everything (accomodation/food/drinks). If EBC is your goal go ahead, if you want to see Everest you will see just very top of it. 10 days is too short in my opinion. 1 extra day for descend would help a lot. Go in wamer months and just follow the crowd.

    The Trek was incredible. The lodges were lovely, and the scenery was spectacular. But it was the same with our tour guide. He treated you like a true friend and assisted you with all you required.

    I can't express how much we enjoyed our time with him and Peregrine Treks. Pasang, our guide, was simply fantastic; he looked after us so well, and we had much fun together. Transfers and all arrangements were handled properly, and we always felt like we were in good hands. I suggest this incredible vacation to everyone.

      The Everest Base Camp trek is considered moderately challenging, suitable for both experienced and non-experienced hikers who have a good level of physical fitness and endurance. The trek typically takes around 12 to 14 days to complete, covering approximately 130 kilometers (80 miles) round trip. Each day, you'll walk for an average of 5-7 hours. While you don't need technical climbing skills, it is essential to be in good physical health, have cardiovascular fitness, and a strong endurance level. Previous trekking experience is beneficial.

      I didn't realize when I booked this that it's a trekking tour, I thought it's a tour to Nepal. I don't think we would qualify because, we aren't that fit and or have any trekking experience. I would like to see other choices of your for us to do instead.

    • Peregrine Treks and Expedition Pvt LtdOperatorWritten July 2023

      I recommend the Annapurna Family Trekking in comfort. This trip includes short hikes, tours, and a jungle safari. This trek involves short hikes in the Annapurna Region, and you do not need any prior trekking experience. The hiking route is designed to be at a low altitude, and it can be customized during the trip based on your strength and preferences.
