    We enjoyed every bit of trip! I would like to thank the entire team of Oriental Journeys for providing this beautiful, memorable and lifelong experiences in the top of the world. Trekking to Everest base camp was my dream and it comes true because of you! Flying back to Kathmandu from EBC is really thrilling and it minimise your days but fulfil your dream to see Everest. Really enjoyed the trek and fly. The payment was east and the price was really competitive. I would recommend this trek to everyone.

We are 6 in a group and had a wonderful trekking experiences to Everest base camp and Kalapathar. We return back in a helicopter and It was an amazing experience we ever felt. We saw lots of mountains from the helicopter while returning back from Everest to Kathamndu. We really enjoyed the entire trek and the professional services of the company.”

    Asked on July 26th, 2023

    Still debating if I can do this. Turning 60 later this year but I am in relatively good shape. Work out 6 days a week on treadmill, bike, and/or elliptical. Mentally I can do this but don't know if my body will hold up. Can you please provide me with your experiences with other 60 something's that have done this trip.

    • Oriental Journeys Pvt. Ltd.OperatorWritten July 2023

      We have some previous clients who have done this trek. They have done it at their 60 years. Some of our clients have trekked up to the Everest View Hotel and trekked back at thier 65 plus age. You may do it easily, if you have been trekking in high altitude as a part of your training. We have other options for your Everest BaseCamp dream to bring a success. Either, you may trek upto Everest View hotel and fly up to Everest Basecamp and flyback to Kathmandu.
