Everest base camp trek this beautiful hiking in Nepal cheap and easy trail, Everest Base Camp Trek is designed by Nepal Guide info Team for those who wish to experience adventure travel in the Himalaya of Nepal in budget and cheap . Starting from Lukla, the trek passes through Sherpa villages, Sagarmatha National Park and Tengboche Monastery, the highest monastery in the world, and finally conceding at Kala Patthar (5,550 m/18,204 ft). You can enjoy the unimaginable view of Mount Everest and many other renowned peaks of Khumbu valley from the close proximity of Kala Patthar.

 You have three main options on how to do the trek to Everest Base Camp; you can do a package tour through an agency, hire a porter and/or guide or do it yourself.

 You walk 5 to 8 hours a day for 12 days, with a resting day or two for acclimatization. If you are reasonably fit you should be able to do this carrying your own backpack. Having porters make it even easier.

 The biggest possibility for saving money on the Everest Base Camp trek is by going from Kathmandu to Lukla overland (mainly on foot). Flying costs about $165 one way (we flew to Lukla and ended up walking back). An alternative is to do this overland. You can take a bus to Jiri (9 hours) combined with a five day walk to Namche Bazaar. Resulting in an extra four days of trekking. You can do the same back or you can walk from Lukla to Selirri (2 days) and take a back breaking jeep journey to Kathmandu for $20.

 The Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla is considered by some the most dangerous runway in the world. You cannot buy the tickets online; on recommendation from a fellow traveler I contacted Sanjib at ‘Nepal Planet Treks &expedition (Nepal Guide Info Team )’ in Kathmandu. Sanjib was fantastic and booked our tickets for us one week before. He did not charge us and we paid him on arrival, he also gave very good advice and booked a great hotel for very cheap (contact details below). VERY IMPORTANT: BOOK FLIGHTS FOR 7AM to 9AM , late flights often get cancelled which is a big problem for you waiting few days in Kathmandu ! I discuss this very common nightmare and how we ended up walking back from Lukla a bit later

 If you organize the trek to Everest Base Camp yourself it is easy to arrange a guide and a porter in Kathmandu. You did not feel a guide would have been an advantage to us at any stage on the trek. You just follow the path and there are many other trekkers on the route and places to stay.

 You can buy all clothes and gear necessary to trek to Everest Base Camp in Kathmandu for very cheap. Most of the stuff is fakes of well-known brands e.g. The North Face but the quality was good enough for the temperatures that we experienced during the Everest EBC trek. There is bedding in the tea houses, but you will need a sleeping bag, you rented one for about 1$ a day per days in Kathmandu , ‘The North Face’ sleeping bag, it looked good but was terrible quality. A sleeping bag rated to 5C should by sufficient.
