Everest Base Camp Trek -17 Days



Description
Mount Everest, elevated at 8,848m (29,028ft) above sea level, reigns as the highest mountain on Earth. The mountain was climbed for the first time by New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and local Sherpa Tenzin Norgay on May 29, 1953, and it has attracted mountaineers from all over the world since. The Everest area is known locally as Sagarmatha National Park. It is home to the famous Sherpa people, migrants from eastern Tibet who crossed over the Himalaya and settled here in the late 1400s and early 1500s. The trek to Everest Base Camp goes deep into the heart of the Himalaya. The mountain views are stunning, and the simplicity and hospitality of the Sherpa community are heart-warming. You will get to take in the awe-inspiring views of Mt. Everest and its sister’s mountains. You will also be visiting Sherpa villages and monasteries to gain insight into their culture and lifestyle. This is a beautiful trek in a spectacular region of Nepal.

We had the pleasure of completing our second trip to Nepal, and the Himalayas, with Dream Himalaya Adventures, after our first trek to EBC in 2018. The Dream Himalaya adventures team is an exceptional outfit, pure class, from the Owner and face of the business, Dawa Lama Sherpa, to our phenomenal guide Kami Dorjee Sherpa, who absolutely made the entire trek the most special possible - he is the kindest soul, with exceptional knowledge of the mountains and cultures within. And last but not least, our two incredible porters, with the biggest smiles and life of the trek, Mailah Rai and Danbardah Rai - we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. Everybody along the route, whether they were tea house owners, fellow guides, or even Sherpas, knew who Kami was and all seemed to love him - that says something. The quality of lodging in tea houses along the entirety of the trek was exceptional, far exceeding our expectations from our previous experience. The Gokyo Ri and Chola Pass route towards EBC is out of this world - the most challenging, yet beautiful experience of my life - it far exceeds the standard route to EBC, with two peak summits and two passes exceeding 5000 meters. Dawa, Kami, and the rest of the team are forever in our hearts, and are now family for a lifetime. If you are interested in trekking Nepal, or taking on an expedition to attempt a summit expedition - there is only one company to consider, Dream Himalaya Adventures.
What an experience! If it's the one thing you must do in your lifetime, this is it! And to have Dawaji support you is the best thing you can ask for. His extensive industry experience and connections are second to none. Anyone doing this circuit knows that things can change at the drop of a hat due to weather or other conditions, and that's where his support was invaluable to us. He made sure we were able to complete our itinerary with the best possible options and outcomes. Right from arranging replacement helicopter flights for cancelled flights to the best value for money accommodations to ensuring that he is constantly in touch with his team, taking updates on where we were and how we were progressing, we were in completely safe hands. He is personally involved in all discussions and planning, and makes sure that you complete your journey as seamlessly as possible. Thank you again to Dream Himalaya Adventures for an epic journey.
I had gone with Dream Himalaya Adventures and it was one of the best decision. The trip was very well organised and Dawaji made it feel like home. Our guide Kami was exceptional taking care of us and making us comfortable. Thank you so much team!
Having liaised with Dawa, and upon warm recommendation from a friend, I went for the EBC trek in April 2026. Kami was my guide, and the trek was just amazing and something I will remember for long. Great organization, friendly atmosphere, stunning landscapes, the recipe was just perfect. I am strongly recommending Dream Himalaya Adventures in case you want to test yourself in Himalaya, whether through a trekking or climbing experience. You will not regret it!
The Dream Himalaya 17-day base camp trek was fantastic. We, two teachers, took 11 high-school-going boys and 11 parents to Base Camp, spent two nights there and walked back. We were superbly looked after and supported from Kathmandu all the way to base camp, royally hosted there for two nights, and supported back to Lukla and then to Kathmandu again, which culminated in a wonderful final evening celebration for all. The Dream Himalaya team were professional throughout and dealt with issues that arose, like sorting out crampons for us, because it snowed and looked after those who needed plans adjusted, due to illness. Tricky flights back from Lukla, due to bad weather, were sorted out with little fuss. I would book with Dream Himalaya Adventures again! It was truly a wonderful experience. Dhanyabad, Dawa and team!

What an experience! Dawa and his team were amazing. They were friendly, helpful, very, very flexible and most importantly professional and super efficient. Dawa has large network of service providers which he is able to call on for a variety of services to meet the ever-changing climatic and client needs. I am happy to refer his company.
Dream Himalaya organized a wonderful 14-day trek to EBC for our Bishops school trip. We were well looked after by Dawa and his crew every step of the way. A highlight for us were the two nights spent in Base Camp. Thank you for facilitating such an amazing experience for us all.
A fantastic trip that was well organised. The team from Dream Himalayas were superb and helped our whole team reach Everest Base Camp.
It was such an incredible experience. Dream Himalaya Adventures, planned the entire trip and their organsational skills and attention to detail was absolutely incredible especially given that we were a group of 24. Most notably was the incredible team of Dream Himalaya Adventures that accompanied us. They was very experienced, and showed such compansion and care to each of us. Dream Himalaya Adventures ensure that all of our needs were well looked after, especially when reaching base camp.
Dream Himilaya provided superb comms and logistics and bespoke service for my family. Dawa and the team are real experts with good contacts. Would definitely recommend.
