Overview

Everest Base Camp budget trek offers the most comprehensive budget trek of the region. Follow the footstep of legends to Sherpa villages that climbs, between the soaring peaks, towards Everest. Once above the tree line, you will get the close glimpse of mighty peaks than on any other trail in Himalayas.

14 days Budget Everest Base Camp Trek Package is designed to minimize the risk of mountain sickness (AMS) by limiting the altitude gain. We included two resting days, as the altitude increases. The first day of acclimatization is at Namche Bazaar; we spend whole day exploring the culture, lifestyle and belief of Sherpa people.

Climb up to the delightful village of Tengbohce which is famous for vibrant Buddhist Monastery. Further, continue to Dingoche through well-explored trail and halt for second acclimatization day. Climb a ridge rising just above the village to get the unrivalled view of Himalayan peaks.

As we start gaining the elevation, temperature drops: forest line gives way to dwarf vegetation and then further to rock and ice. Further trek leads us to Lobuche and then to Gorak Shep. Continuing alongside the Khumbu glacier and ice fall, we reach the base camp of world’s highest peak – Everest. Base camp is nestled at the lap of Everest; on the ice opposite to the ice fall. Retrace your step back to Gorak Shep for overnight stay.

A pre-dawn climb to Kala Patthar, a popular vantage point, displays the grand view of Everest, south Col, Nuptse and the lower glaciers.

Cheap Everest base camp budget trekking offered by Adventure vision treks is customized package that lets you enjoy the trek within budget but without compromising the safety, adventure and discovery. The discovery and adventure is similar to other trekking package in Everest.

So why spend extra days and bucks!

In contrast to the hustle and bustle Kathmandu, Lukla, the gateway of all treks in the Everest region, is enveloped with the tranquility of the Himalayas – a patch of blue sky with snow-tipped mountains furnishing the ground, the air crisp and the wind slight. From there, we start our trekking journey. Today’s trek is relatively short and easy - we trek for about 3 hours to Phakding. During the gradual descending path to Phakding, you would be surrounded by towering mountains and rolling hills.

Hello

Pushpendra Khadka

6th Jul, 2023


Wow what an incredible experience. The 9 day trek into Everest base camp was truly out of this world. I highly recommend to hike to Kala Patthar view point if you have time. The last day I took the helicopter from Gorak Shep to Katmandu. The views from up above are a completely different experience. It was the perfect way to end the trek. Jeeban and his team from Adventure Vision Treks and Travel are on another level. So many moving parts to set up something like this and to also see it all the way through. He really treats you like family. I look forward to getting back soon.
