EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK

The Ultimate Everest Base Camp Trek — stay where few others can

​

Everest One is the only Australian-owned trekking company that offers something truly unique: the opportunity to actually stay at Everest Base Camp (EBC).

​

While most trekkers reach the edge of base camp — stopping at the iconic prayer flags for a photo — you’ll go further. With Everest One, you’ll walk past the crowds and sleep on the glacier itself, spending two unforgettable nights at Everest Base Camp during the April–May climbing season. You'll rest in private tents, enjoy hearty meals prepared in our onsite commercial kitchen, and dine in a heated tent, an experience no standard EBC trek offers.

​

And yes, if you're feeling brave… there's even a chance to take a glacier shower.

​

During the Autumn trekking season (September–November), you’ll still explore Everest Base Camp on foot during the day — but instead sleep in private tents at the base of Kala Patthar, where an afternoon climbs affords you stunning sunset views over Everest and the Khumbu Glacier.

​

This is not just a trek — it’s a rare window into expedition life on the world’s highest mountain. You'll meet aspiring Everest climbers, visit the Everest Rescue tent, and walk the lower reaches of the dramatic Khumbu Icefall, hearing its deep, thunderous crackle through the night. When no expeditions are active in autumn, you’ll experience an unfiltered, raw view of base camp, stripped of crowds — haunting, beautiful, and peaceful.

 

Trekking through the heart of the Khumbu

​

The Everest Base Camp trek is a rich, culturally immersive journey through Nepal’s legendary Khumbu region, home to the Sherpa people and some of the most iconic peaks on Earth, including Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,501m), Cho Oyu (8,201m), Makalu (8,463m) and Shishapangma (8,013m).

​

Your adventure begins in Lukla (2,840m), following the Dudh Kosi River through traditional Sherpa and Tamang villages. From here, you’ll ascend to Namche Bazaar, the bustling Sherpa capital, before leaving the main trail to explore Phortse, a quiet farming village home to the famous Khumbu Climbing School, founded by the Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation.

​

We pass through Pangboche, the highest permanent Sherpa village, and acclimatise in Dingboche, allowing your body time to adapt to the altitude before pushing higher. As we approach Everest Base Camp, the scenery becomes increasingly stark and dramatic — glacial moraine, icy winds, and towering peaks dominate the horizon.

​

The return journey includes a visit to Tengboche Monastery, the largest in the region, where you can sit in quiet reflection or attend a prayer ceremony with the monks, soaking in the spiritual heart of the Himalayas.
