Trek to Everest Base Camp

The Everest Base Camp trek was an incredible experience from start to finish. The scenery was beyond words, the journey was challenging and deeply rewarding, and what truly made it special was the team that supported us every step of the way. After this trek, mountains may never feel the same again. The experience leaves a quiet mark on you, almost spiritual in the way it humbles and reshapes perspective.

Kanchan was nothing short of amazing. He felt like a big brother on the trail. Deeply caring, knowledgeable, and always attentive to everyone’s needs, he struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. His fun personality kept spirits high even on the toughest days.

BBC was a constant source of reassurance. Every time you called out to him, his cheerful “yes, please!” made you smile instantly. Strong, reliable, and unwavering, he was always there no matter the situation, giving you the confidence to keep moving forward.

Roshan brought a very pleasant and calming presence to the trek. Always supportive and kind, he made the long days feel easier simply by being there and encouraging everyone along the way.

And Benja, truly a mountain ninja. An incredible photographer, guitar player, cook, baker, and above all, a great friend. He knows the trek inside and out and was wonderful company on the trail. As a slow hiker, I especially appreciated the long conversations and relaxed pace, which made the journey even more meaningful.

Everest herself is a shy mountain. She does not reveal herself easily, and only to those who are patient and determined. When she finally does, it feels earned. This trek was unforgettable, and I cannot recommend this team enough. They turned an already spectacular adventure into something truly special.

I had an amazing experience on the Everest Base Camp trek, made even better by the incredible leadership throughout. Kanchan ran the trek exceptionally well, with outstanding organisation from start to finish. Everything felt smooth, well planned, and professionally managed, which allowed us to fully enjoy the journey.

A huge amount of praise goes to Rosan, who went above and beyond every single day. He was caring, very organised, and often led smaller groups so we could reach destinations faster and at our own pace, which made a big difference to the overall experience. We genuinely would not have made it up Kala Pattar without his encouragement and support. Rosan was incredibly friendly, approachable, and always willing to help, making everyone feel supported and motivated.

Both Kanchan and Rosan were fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for an Everest Base Camp trek.

Trip was amazing from the first day, very well organised and catered to individuals. Kanchan and his team were very professional but also very friendly and easy going with amazing knowledge of the area and the trek itself. Food was lovely and very cheap, every step of the way is accounted for by the team with changes being made easily based on personal circumstances. I felt very looked after the entire trip and felt comfortable asking the team anything knowing that they would try their best to accommodate. Aside from that, the views, scenery and locals are incredible, it really is like nothing else, a beautiful part of the world that I couldn’t recommend enough. Great value for money

I just want to come on here to thank Kanchan and his team. They made my trip special. I completed this over the Xmas period and these guys made sure to make it a trip I will never forget. They were always providing extra information and facts as we would walk; look after us when we were sick; facilitate any of our needs and Kanchan even took us rock climbing when we got back to Kathmandu ( on his day off ) . This was already a once in a lifetime time trip, but these guys made it even more remarkable. Thank you everyone 🙌

A wonderful trip with fantastic guides. Well organised and coordinated with Kanchan leading us all safely to base camp, along with BBC, Roshan and Benja who were so supportive and helpful. The views are outstanding and the group was awesome- it’s not without challenges from the high altitude, cold temps at night (though we were really lucky with sun during the days) and long days of walking but I felt in safe hands the whole time. Big shout out to the amazing porters without whom the trip couldn’t have happened, they were incredible. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely loved our Everest Base Camp trip with Much Better Adventures – the local company Freedom Adventures totally smashed it. From start to finish it was genuinely seamless and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The itinerary was spot on, the views were unreal every single day, and everything just ran so smoothly. Huge shoutout to Konchan and the assistant tour guides – they were brilliant (especially the mighty BBC). Super knowledgeable, supportive, and honestly just great fun to be around. They really made the trip what it was and kept the vibe positive the whole way. Felt well looked after the entire time and had an absolute blast. If you’re thinking about EBC, I can’t recommend this team enough 🙌🏔️

Had the most amazing experience. Everything was organised from moment I arrived at the airport to being dropped off back at the airport again. Kanchan and his support guides were amazing!! Kept everything fun whilst having the skills to overcome any issues along the way. . could not have wished for a better team to lead us on this amazing adventure and felt supported and encouraged the whole way!! Also a shout out to the porters that made it possible carrying our bags everyday, always with a smile and encouraging us on!! Thank you so much for the memories that will last a lifetime!! 🙏🏼

A great trip to Everest Base Camp. Everything was well organised, with knowledgeable and supportive local guides and hosts along the way. The scenery was absolutely stunning and made every day worthwhile.

The trip to Everest Base Camp can be quite challenging on the body, from the altitude and temperature changes, to the wear and tear of constant ascending and descending on the hikes. But our guides did an excellent job of pacing our trip so everyone made it up to EBC, feeling proud of ourselves for completing the arduous trek.

I was so lucky to spend the 2025 hiking to Everest Base Camp with the incredible lead guide Kanchan from Freedom Adventures, his team of superhero assistant guides and porters, and 11 fellow hikers that I met on this trip. This was an adventure of a lifetime. Kanchan and his team took such good care of our entire group from day 1 to day of departure. They knew everything about the mountains, made sure we were always well fed and well hydrated, and attended to anyone who was feeling less than 100%. This was considered off season for trekking the EBC so the tea houses and the trail itself were not crowded; we had perfect weather, sunshine everyday, with mild days and cold nights, getting colder as we got higher. This was a challenging and unforgettable two weeks trek, and I could not have done it without the amazing team from Freedom Adventures and the 11 new friends I made.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to trek to Everest Base Camp, and I can confidently say that it was an experience of a lifetime, largely thanks to our amazing lead guide, Rinji Furba Sherpa.

From the very beginning, Rinji’s communication was exemplary. He kept us well informed about plans, safety protocols, and shared his extensive knowledge of the Himalayas. While we all faced varying degrees of altitude sickness, Rinji’s meticulous care and accurate documentation ensured that we not only reached our goal but also enjoyed every moment of the journey.

His enthusiasm for the mountains is truly infectious, and I thoroughly enjoyed his company throughout the trek. Trusting Rinji as my guide was easy! His strength, knowledge, and determination shine through, especially considering he is an Everest summiter himself. It was an absolute privilege to be guided by someone with such remarkable accomplishments.

I also want to give a huge praise to Roshan Rai, our assistant guide. Despite his young age, he possesses insurmountable experience in the mountains and handled communication and care with impressive maturity. Having Roshan manage our orders and payments at each teahouse made mealtimes run smoothly, and he went above and beyond to ensure everyone was happy. With a mentor like Rinji, I have no doubt that Roshan will make an excellent lead guide very soon.

Also, our three porters - Buddha, Lama and Prabesh, were huge assets to our team! They ensured our bags reached each accommodation intact and on time. Whenever we had the chance to spend time with them, they were incredibly friendly and I enjoyed learning about their love for being Sherpas. I truly admire their unwavering strength and wish them all the best in their progression to become guides.

A special highlight of the trek was celebrating a big birthday during the journey. The whole team made a lovely effort to make the day memorable, with thoughtful little touches I will always cherish. Who knew a high altitude, subzero birthday could be so epic?

Overall, this trek was unforgettable, and the guidance from Rinji and Roshan made it all the more special. If you’re considering this trek, I wholeheartedly recommend going with them!

First time using much better adventures, couldn’t recommend more, had such an amazing time. My guides Kevin and Benja were super friendly and very knowledgeable 10/10 will be booking again with MBA

Great adventure in an incredible country, would thoroughly recommend. Itinerary is well planned and carried out by a strong and experienced team in our guides Kev, Benja, Iceman and the amazing porters always working hard behind the scenes. Was blessed with perfect conditions throughout and a great group of teammates. Trip of a lifetime, 10/10.

Having dreamt of trekking to Everest base camp for many years it's safe to say my expectations were high and this trip still managed to exceed them!

From start to finish our lead guide Birdhoj and assistant guides Uttar and Tenzing made us feel safe, relaxed and so well looked after. We also had an amazing team of porters who were always smiling - Buddha, Sajor, Ramesh, Balaram and Harka Raj we couldn't have done it without you.

The scenery on this trek was nothing short of incredible and something I will always remember. Can't wait to book my next adventure with MBA!

Overall, the whole trip was incredible! The trek and views itself were spectacular, everyone in the group got on well, and our 3 guides (Birdhog, Tenzing, and Utter) were all fantastic. They were helpful, informative, and really good at helping the group feel relaxed by ensuring regular breaks, cracking jokes, and even showing us magic tricks!

Be prepared for basic accommodation facilities, with less available as you get closer to base camp, and to be faced with a similar food menu for every lunch and dinner… but if you can manage without a few home comforts, this is a trip of a lifetime!

Thank you MBA and Freedom Adventures!

It couldn’t have gone any better. I am absolutely delighted. Birdhoj, Tenzing and Uttah did a phenomenal job. Hats off to them and a big thank you. Also our porters were fantastic:)

Our EBC trek was a very successful journey first of all we were blessed with amazing weather conditions, sunny days and clear blue skies everyday, clean trials and not too overcrowded; second of all thanks to our great guides team Bir, Tashi and Utar, they made it so easy and comfortable for us , they were the ones making sure we eat properly, stay hydrated and looking after our wellbeing the entire time , they offered us their full support on and of the trails, it’s so important to have a team that you trust in such a long trip. The communication with MBA team was easy and reliable before the trek . For me the hardest parts were the cold nights in the teahouses and the lack of proper hygiene, but I had to accept it and move on quickly so I can focus on enjoying everything else the mountains had to offer . The days getting to Lukla and back are probably some of the most difficult since the drive can be up to 8h on non existent roads and the flight waiting time is quite long but it’s part of the package , you can’t expect smooth operations in such high altitudes. Even saying all that the Himalayas are the most special mountains I’ve experienced in my life and I’m already eager to return !

I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Freedom Adventures, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Our Sherpa, Asman, was outstanding—knowledgeable, positive, and always ensuring we had a fantastic time. He made the trek enjoyable and memorable for both me and my friend Josh. The support, guidance, and expertise provided by Asman and the team made the challenging trek feel manageable and genuinely fun. I would wholeheartedly recommend Freedom Adventures to anyone considering this journey—an unforgettable adventure with top-notch guidance!

An incredible experience, great itinerary and very professional and wonderful guides. Our guide leader Kushahari Phuyal and assistants guides Sebika Rai and Bhavisya jung Thapa went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time, were well looked after and were kept safe, especially during the snow storm. They were also so positive and very knowledgeable. It was also lovely to have a female assistant guide on the trip as well. Also want to thank our supporting staff who were also very friendly and kind Santa Bir Tamang, Panchaman Rai, Anmol Rai, Bahadur Tamang and Saikumar Tamang. 10/10 trip!

I had the best time on this trip - especially a big thank you to our amazing guide Jay San. It was an incredible experience, and we felt well looked after throughout the adventure. Everything was well organised and thought through. Met some amazing people and saw some amazing things! Thank you

Where to start, I think first i need to thank the 4 boys for an absolutely amazing trip. Birdhoj was such an awesome guide full of so much knowledge, Nabin was also so great super funny and always helped us when needed. Couldnt of asked for a better duo taking us up to base camp!!!

And of course a huge thanks to our porters Narmani and Arpan, i admire their strength and we couldnt of done it without them!

The trek itself was absolutely amazing, seeing Everest from Kala Patthar was the highlight for me. It was tough, some days were easier than others, but overall was so rewarding and truly was the best trip ive ever done. I really have no complaints!

BOOK THAT TRIP!!!!!

The trip was perfectly organised with breathtaking landscapes and excellent support from the guiding team despite some inevitable physical and weather related challenges. Our guide Jay San stood out as an exceptional guide – calm, organised, and encouraging. He managed the group with great care and ensured everyone reached Base Camp safely and with a smile. A truly memorable adventure.

What an incredible adventure.

We couldn't have done it without our fantastic team, who were excellent from day 1. Our team leader Birdhoj kept us safe, supported, paced us excellently and always was on hand to answer our many questions about the route, region and everything in between. There was nothing that our assistant guide Nabin Rai couldn't do for us, from making us laugh constantly to filling up our waters and sorting our meals at each stop. We loved our card game evenings every night. Finally, our phenomenal supporting boys Normani Rai and Arpan Rai, without whom none of it would have been possible, and always had our bags in each of our rooms well before we arrived. They managed to keep all of our bags and belongings dry despite the constant rain we had early on. We were so glad we could have a finally meal in Lukla with the team to thank them for everything. I would thoroughly recommend all of them for future trips.

We were struck with pretty constant torrential days in the first few days, which did affect moral, but the team kept us boosted. Nabin kindly gave me his poncho to try keep me a tiny bit more dry, after it became apparent out ponchos from Namche were completely non functional against the torrential weather. Our trusted goretex gear that had previously always worked simply reached saturation point. Thankfully, we were then blessed with perfect weather for the rest of the trip and higher up, which made the first few challenging days all worth it.

The trek itself is not that hard, but the weather conditions and altitude definitely make it harder. We went from very wet to being incredibly hot getting to Lobuche and EBC with the incredibly powerful sun at altitude. Fortunately our group faired pretty well at altitude all things considered, with a couple of off days here or there amongst us and most people not feeling that great at Gorek Shep.

The tea houses were understandably fairly basic, but honestly better than expected for the most part. It was quite significantly more basic at Gorek Shep, but not as bad as some of the horror stories we heard going up. We spent minimal time in the tea house, doing a big EBC and sunset Kala Pattar day, and off early the next morning. I managed to have far more hot showers than expected (Phakding, Namche, Dingboche - at the fantastic Dingobche Inn warm coffee shop cabin -, and Pengboche, Namche and Lukla on the way down).

I kept warm each evening with the fantastic sleeping bag I rented from Freedom Adventures, and a hot water nalgene each night. I had packed a lot of snacks, but barely used them as the portion sizes they give you in the tea houses for lunch and dinner are very plentiful.

We were a small group of four Brits, which worked really well. I was grateful for the small group when seeing the very large Intrepid and G Adventures groups being herded around.

The only changes I would suggest would be to fly between KTM and Lukla. This could avoid the 5hr drive, which was pretty dire, and the uncomfortable night in the Manthali tent.

The trek was quite significantly busier than I expected, especially our EBC day, which was frankly packed and chaotic at the rock. I assume because there had been a few days where people couldn't get through the pass due to bad weather. If I had known how busy it was going to be, I would probably have looked at the Gokyo Lakes/3 passes, or Manaslu circuit instead. If you are wanting a quiet environment without many people about, the EBC route in October is not for you.

I will miss the incredible mountains, views, and the kind and incredibly hard working Nepalese people. Thank you so much Freedom Adventures, our team, and MBA! I will be thinking of Nepal and the himalayas for a long time.

I completed the Everest Base Camp trek (26 Sept – 13 Oct), and it was an incredible experience thanks to an outstanding team. Lead guide Kushahari Phuyal was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout, even when facing the toughest weather challenges. Assistant guides Sebika Rai and Bhavisya Jung Thapa brought great energy and encouragement every step of the way.

Huge thanks to the support staff — Santa Bir Tamang, Panchaman Rai, Anmol Rai, Langa Bahadur Tamang, and Saikumar Tamang for their hard work and perseverance. We couldn’t have done it without them.

An unforgettable trek with a truly exceptional team.

A fantastic trip from start to finish. The whole event was organised flawlessly from arriving at the airport to departing. I can’t say enough about our guides, Birdhoj & Nabin & the two porters who made the whole trip possible. They were kind, patient & welcoming throughout the trip and made the experience as good as it could have possibly been. They are a credit to their profession. I can highly recommend this trip!

Our EBC trek was an incredible journey, made even more special by the team who guided and supported us every step of the way. Despite some unusual weather — including fresh snowfall that turned the landscape into something out of a dream — we always felt safe, well looked after, and in great hands. Kuchahari Phuyal, our lead guide, was calm, experienced, and always in control. His leadership gave us confidence, especially when conditions got tough. Alongside him, assistant guides Sebika Rai and Bhavisya Jung Thapa (aka Future) brought great energy and encouragement, helping us stay motivated and positive throughout. The support crew — Santa Bir Tamang, Panchaman Rai, Anmol Rai, Langa Bahadur Tamang, and Saikumar Tamang — were fantastic. From setting up camp to keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes, they worked tirelessly and always with a smile. The snow added a unique twist to the trek, and while it made things more challenging, it also made the experience even more memorable. Thanks to the team’s professionalism and care, we never felt at risk — just lucky to be part of something so special. If you're thinking about doing EBC, we can’t recommend this team highly enough. They made a tough trek feel achievable, safe, and unforgettable.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp has always been a lifelong dream of mine, and I can honestly say the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, everything was simply perfect — the guides, porters, organization, accommodation, and the breathtaking scenery.

Each day brought new challenges and even more stunning views, from the lush valleys of Lukla to the majestic peaks surrounding Base Camp. The team was incredibly supportive, professional, and friendly, making sure we were comfortable, safe, and motivated throughout the journey.

I was originally concerned as I was doing it alone, however our group of fellow trekkers were amazing, couldn’t have asked for a better group of people.

Our guides passion for the mountains and deep respect for the local culture made the trek even more meaningful.

Standing at Everest Base Camp, surrounded by the world’s highest peaks, was an emotional and unforgettable moment — truly the realization of a dream.

I can’t thank everyone enough for making this journey so special. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing Everest up close, do it — it’s an experience of a lifetime, and with the right team, it’s absolutely incredible. That’s why I can’t recommend Much Better Adventures enough, these guys were simply the best x

The trek to EBC was flawless and incredibly well organised and I want to personally thank Birdhoj, Aayush, Ramesh and Narmani for helping getting me to Everest base camp and Kalar Patthar. Not only did they physically help us, but also were incredibly knowledgable about the mountains, were continuously reassuring and would always ensure we were happy, fit and in good spirits. I hope to see Bir and the team again very soon!

Having just completed the Everest Base Camp trek with MBA Adventures, I can confidently say it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.

From start to finish, the entire expedition was seamless. MBA handled every logistical detail, from airport transfers to accommodation, with professionalism and care, allowing us to focus entirely on the journey itself.

Our guide, Birdhoj, was nothing short of exceptional. His deep knowledge of the mountains, the trail, and local culture made each day fascinating, while his calm confidence and reassuring presence gave us complete peace of mind in even the toughest moments. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, a true leader who made the trek unforgettable.

The group dynamic was also amazing. We were a team of like-minded individuals who quickly became friends, sharing laughs, stories, and challenges along the way. The camaraderie that formed on the trail added so much to the experience.

If you’re considering trekking to Everest Base Camp, I couldn’t recommend MBA Adventures more highly. They delivered an experience that was safe, inspiring, and deeply meaningful, a journey I’ll never forget.

Amazing trek in some very difficult snowy conditions. It looked like we might not be able to make it due to the heavy snowfall however thanks to Kush and our guides we continued on, making it to base camp against the odds! Couldn't recommend the trip and the staff more, incredible trip in the most tricky conditions.
