Similarly, autumn (mid-September to November) offers clear and unhindered views of the mountains, making it the most popular season for the trek. If you trek during October, you will have the unique opportunity to witness the important local festival of Mani Rimdu, celebrated at the monasteries of Tengboche, Chiwong, and Thame.
You'll need the Everest National Park Entry Permit, Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit, and TIMS Card. (need to confirm)
Your luggage, other than your personal belongings (required during the trek), will be carried by the porters.

You have the option to either rent or buy your clothes & gears in Kathmandu.

Equipments
It’s important to obtain comprehensive travel insurance. The policy should cover all activities and altitudes up to 5,550 meters. Despite safety precautions, risks like Acute Mountain Sickness and physical injuries are inherent to high-altitude trekking. Therefore, your policy should cover costs related to potential injuries, emergencies, helicopter evacuation, and hospitalization. Also, check for any mandatory vaccination requirements in your policy.
All ground transportation in a comfortable private luxury vehicle. You’ll be enjoying the view of the mountains on your flight via helicopter. The trek will be along the rocky trails, at a comfortable pace.
The luxury EBC is a relatively easy trek, as compared to other treks in the Everest region. A reasonable level of fitness is required for the trek. You can prepare for the trek with cardio exercises, strength training, and hiking. However, if you have any underlying health conditions, you need to inform prior.
The Luxury EBC Trail has luxury resorts & lodges that provide the best amenities, ensuring the most comfort for your trek.
Electricity and charging ports are usually available in the lodges. However, they may be limited, so it’s always advisable to carry a portable solar charger and power bank.
While internet connection is available in the region, they may not be the most reliable. Wifi are available in some lodges and they can be either free or you might need to pay a small amount for hotspot connectivity. Mobile data is more reliable as the network, barring some places, is more stable.
You can purchase Ncell or NTC sim cards in Kathmandu from local shops. In case of emergency, our guides will be carrying satellite phones as well.
Each trekker is offered a private room equipped with comfortable bedding to ensure a restful stay. En-suite bathrooms are standard in these lodges, offering privacy and convenience. The facilities also include toilets, which are well-maintained and clean. These lodges are designed to provide a comfortable and luxurious experience, a step above the basic accommodations traditionally found on such treks.
The lodges usually provide hot showers, at an additional cost. This is because most of the hot showers, especially at higher regions, are only possible with gas (that’s brought from Lukla), making it expensive for the lodges.
The luxury Everest base camp trek with a helicopter is the most comfortable trek to Everest Base Camp. Your safety and comfort is taken care of at each step, and it’s the most pleasant way to experience the beauty of the roof of the world.

A most excellent Everest Base Camp trek with Earthbound Expeditions!, I must praise Earthbound Expeditions! Everything they do from start to finish has the customers’ interests in mind. This is evident with how Earthbound Expeditions conducts business and how they conduct themselves on the trail. They instill their values in everything they do. They ensure the customer is safe and accomplishes the goal. They offer a high level of quality for a reasonable price. And they offer flexibility not many other outfitters offer. I am returning to Nepal and will book with Earthbound Expeditions again!

Everest Base Camp Trek with Heli return, My husband and I just returned from Nepal where we did the 12-day Everest Base Camp Heli Trek with Earthbound Expeditions. Everything was perfect! Rajan was extremely helpful, friendly and responsive to all of our inquiries when booking the trip and extremely welcoming and accommodating once we arrived in Kathmandu. Our guide Namaraj and our porter Abas were absolutely fantastic. Namaraj was an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guide who clearly loves his country. He shared so much about the culture, the natural beauty and the people of Nepal which made our trek so special. He was also incredibly connected in the trekking community which was so helpful when we were making our way back to Kathmandu via helicopter along with hundreds of other trekkers. I highly recommend his services along with those of Earthbound Expeditions. We hope to return one day to explore other parts of this amazing country.

Unforgettable Everest Base Camp Trek We just completed a 12-day trip to Everest Base Camp with Earthbound Expeditions. We have been on a number of trekking vacations, but this was by far the most amazing trip. The Himalayan mountain range was stunning and humbling. The Nepalese people, particularly those in the Khumbu region, were incredibly kind and hospitable. And of course, the food was delicious. We look forward to returning to Nepal again in the future and will definitely be using Earthbound Expeditions. Special thanks to the following individuals who made this a memorable, safe and joyful experience: (1) Rajan: Earthbound’s incredibly responsive and thoughtful leader. He patiently answered all of our questions about the trip prior to our arrival and accommodated many of our requests without question. He even picked us up at the airport and met with us again the day we came back from Base Camp. (2) Kumar: our Kathmandu city guide who shared his knowledge of Nepal’s rich history and culture by taking us to some World Heritage sites in Kathmandu. (3) Raju: our wonderful Kathmandu driver who ferried us safely back and forth to various destinations in Kathmandu and joined us our final night for a Nepalese cultural show. (4) Tiger: our wonderful porter who was never without a smile. He was kind and funny and always made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable on our trek. He was with us every step of the way and thoughtfully checked in to see if we were tired along the way. (5) Shreeram: last, but not least, our fearless guide. Shree was incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. He answered our many questions about food safety, high altitude sickness and hot showers with good humor and patience. He made sure we were hiking at a good pace to allow for altitude adjustment and shared his love of dal bhat with us. Most importantly, he instilled in us a deep appreciation for Nepal’s beauty, diversity and resilience.

Most Amazing Time of Our Life Thanks to Earthbound!! , Book with this company!!!! We cannot recommend Earthbound Expeditions enough!! We had the best, most fun and soul touching trip thanks to Rajan and Naresh! From our first communication w Rajan everything went so smooth, he is super accomodating! He does an amazing job organizing everything and checking in with us throughout our trek! Naresh, our guide, became like family to us! We felt so well taken care of and comfortable with him. He was 200% the most knowledgeable guide on the trek, and the most kind person we’ve ever met, always willing to help everyone. Other trekkers and guides were even asking him for advice!! We felt so safe with him and want to come back to do another trek with him! We will miss Naresh so much. We were so glad we were with Earthbound for our trek we felt so safe. This was a life changing trip thanks to Earthbound! Another perk is that this is a locally owned Nepali company! We would recommend Earthbound to anyone coming to Nepal a million times over and will trek with them again! Thank you so much for everything Rajan and Naresh! Truly life changing experience!

Unforgettable EBC trek Nepal, My fiancé and I completed the EBC trek with Earthbound Expeditions using Helicopter also and have nothing but extraordinary things to say about the whole experience! For months leading up to our departure, Rajan answered all of our many inquiries and made sure we were all set for a life changing journey. Once in Kathmandu, we met our wonderful guide Gopal! We truly felt in the best of hands with Gopal who so generously shared the amazing Nepali culture with us throughout our trek. He ensured we were always comfortable, ate enough, rested enough and walked slowly to ensure we make it all the way to EBC. We cannot thank him enough for helping us achieve one of our dreams. And a big thank you to our porter Kancha! We truly had a dream team!! Looking forward to returning to this incredible country for another trek with Earthbound!!

Really happy.. “This company Earthbound is amazing, we arranged to go to Everest base camp through them. They were so professional and organised the whole trip, they looked after us at each stage even after when we planned to go to Pokhara for a sort break after our Everest trek. They arranged flights to hotel accomodation, transport so we didn't have to worry about it. Nothing was a big thing for them. Thank you to Rajan, Badri and all the team for making our dream come true. I would definitely be going back to Annpurna and would go through them to arrange everything for me. Giving you 5*s.. All the best..” from UK.

Everest Base Camp Nepal Heli Trek 12 Days... My life dream was to climb Mountain Everest after climbing Kilimanjaro mountain in Africa. The dream I had for many years became true when I landed at Kathmandu Airport and meet beautiful people from Earthbound Expeditions. The trek itself was very wonderful and organized professionally, great Sherpas, great mountain scenery and great value. It was an everlasting memory provided by this great team for more than two weeks in the great Everest mountain. I recommend this team of Rajan for their great help during my trip to Everest and valuable information they provided to us which contributed a lot to the success of our trek to Everest. For sure I'll come back to climb this Mountain with my family and grand kids when they grow well and we will climb another trek again with Earthbound Expeditions. Thanks and highly recommended.
