Everest Base Camp Trek

I did the Everest Base Camp trek in December 2024, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. We were a group of seven adventurers from different countries. Two of our team members unfortunately fell ill in Dingboche and had to return by helicopter. But the remaining five of us pushed our limits and successfully reached the base of the highest mountain in the world - it was truly unforgettable. After multiple rounds of research to find the right tour operator, we chose to trek with Ace the Himalaya, and I can’t recommend them enough. From the smooth booking process and informative pre-trip meeting to the actual trek, everything was handled with professionalism and care. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable, the porters were humble and hardworking, and the entire experience felt safe and well-organized throughout. We had an absolute blast, and the farewell dinner before our departure was the perfect way to wrap up this life-changing journey.

The EBC trek is moderately hard. The altitude is no joke and best to come into this trek with really good cardio. I admit I came on this trek on impulse when my friend asked if I wanted to join her. She loves hiking, I don't but the allure of trekking through the Himalayas enticed me. Magnificent views along the way. Be mindful of the locals and know that tea houses are really basic. Water is not sanitary and must be treated. You'll be far away from the comforts of home so be prepared. Everything is carried by man or animal up here. The Nepalese are tough people to live in the harsh mountain conditions. Mad respect for them.

One must do this trek to see the raw beauty of the lofty Himalayas. Enjoyed every moment of our 11 days trek. We started our trek from Phaphlu as flights to Lukla were cancelled due to bad weather. We returned from Lukla. It was almost 200 Kms plus round trip. Will always pride the efforts. We took 3 days trek to reach Lukla from Phaphlu. It took forever one day to reach Phaphlu from Kathmandu by road. While returning we took just two days reach Lukla from Gorekshep.

Fantastic trek to begin and never end!! It was awesome experience with my friends Rabi and Praveen reaching the summit of EBC. Would recommend to everyone to complete this trek once in a lifetime. It's worth it but must train ya. 😊😊

Usually eight days of hiking will get you to Everest Base Camp. What a journey it is and if you get the chance I wouldn't hesitate to book this trip. A wonderful experience and one that will stay with me forever.

Superb experience..a dream come true.... acclimatization is very important.Everest view is very small from EBC .Nepal flat...little bit up little bit down...from Gorekhshep.17.5k ft...were lucky to have clear weather.

This is one of the most amazing treks I have completed in my life super amazing and moderately hard I would say. The best mountain views of the world is here. you are surrounded by the giants of Himalaya. remeber slow and steady is key there is no room for ignorance. please respect the mountain and the locals without them the whole logistics of this beautiful trek is nothing.

It took us 10 days to get here. We wanted to have enough time for acclimatization. We could not sleep, eat, it was freezing at night. But the whole trip is worth it. It’s very hard but it was the best experience in my life. You will feel so good once you reach EBC. The way from Gorakshep to EBC is very crowded so be careful and watch your step. If you want to take picture with EBC rock, prepare yourself with lots of patience. There are many people waiting for the same thing. Many of them are mean so you need to be fast. Make sure you have your own sleeping bag during this trek and warm jacket. It’s windy all the time so always cover your head, even at night. Beware of the Khumbu cough!!! Nobody told us about this before, you just have a lot of information about how to avoind altitude sickness but cough was the worst. It took us months before it finally stopped.
