About Best Everest Base Camp Trek Packages 2023/2024 - October and November

The Everest Base camp trek is one of our most rewarding journeys here at Asia Outfitter Inc, providing a fantastic mixture of adventure and challenge.

‘Ultimate base camp trek- the Sherpa trail'

The Everest region is one of the most outstanding destinations for adventure seekers and travelers, with unparalleled views of the Himalayas. Our Base camp trek is designed to help people to make their dream of reaching Mount Everest Base Camp into reality. We take a very historic route to the base of the world's highest mountain. Our expert consultants provide the best opportunity to visit both Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar (5,550m)- a local high point. Here the views of Mt Everest, along with the surrounding Himalayan range, are at their most awe-inspiring!

Trek itineraries are tailored to the individual (and group’s) needs but include a trail along the far side of the Khumbu valley.

On Arrival, you will have a luxury day to explore the vibrant city of Kathmandu before flying into the remote airstrip of Lukla (9,186 feet) to begin your trek into the Khumbu region of the Himalayas. We follow an ancient route that takes us through farm villages, across the valley, and through the high mountains and monasteries. The views grow even more spectacular as we venture up the Dudh Kosi River to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to the Khumbu region.

Here, we will spend a night next to the western valley of Thame, a popular village, and home to many famous climbers past and present. We return to the hidden village of Khunde and Khumjung and the trail leads us to the Thyangboche monastery. The 360 degree views of Ama Dablam, Mt. Everest & Lhotse, Thamserku, Kwangde, Tawache, Khumbila, Kwandge are the spectacular reward for a long day of trekking.

Finally, our route follows the Imaj valley to Dingboche and on to the Base Camp itself, where you can indulge in apple pie and coffee at the highest café in the world!

The view from the closely located high point of Kalapathar offers spectacular views of Mt Everest and is the climax of our trip. Having submitted to 5,500m, we then begin our return journey to Lukla via Phortse village.

The Everest trekking region is situated in Sagarmatha National Park which is listed by the world heritage site, UNESCO. You will not only enjoy the spectacular view of the Himalayas but also meet many Nepalese Sherpas (said to be some of the friendliest people in the world), along the way. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife including the Musk dear, Mountain goats, and the colorful Nepalese pheasant. More rarely, some of our previous visitors have enjoyed glimpses of the Red Panda & Snow Leopard which hide amongst the Pine, Juniper, and birch trees of the forest. Why not visit in the spring to be welcomed by the beautiful colors of rhododendron flowers throughout the valley!

Perfect Everest Trek Arrangement

I spent very memorable days in the Everest region in Nepal. I used to dream to see this highest peak of the world and now I arrested it in my camera. My guide arranged everything and helped me a lot. He did not let me feel tired and boring. I have read about the Manaslu region and willing to go there with this company again. I like to make a strong recommendation.

Thank you
