Nepal · EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK
Base Camp sits at 5,364 m and the walk in from Lukla takes most people eight days, with rest days at Namche and Dingboche that exist for a medical reason. The 15 itineraries below differ on total length, guide arrangements, whether the Lukla flights are included and what happens when the weather grounds them — the differences that decide the trip.

“Aufgeund des Wetters musste der Everest Base Camp Trek abgesagt werden, da kein Flieger nach Lukla ging. Die Company hat es auf meinen Wunsch mehrere Tage versucht und mit mir auf den Abflug gewartet - leider erfolglos. Alternativ habe ich einen anderen Base Camp Trek gemacht, mit dem selben Guide „Padam“. Trotz Regenzeit war es eine tolle Erfahrung. passt war ein sehr aufmerksamer Tourguide, der alles getan hat, damit man sich um alles gekümmert hat. Ich kann eine Tour mit ihm wärmstens empfehlen und werde dies auch in den kommenden Jahren tun.”
