Experienced Sherpas, porters, and guides are frequently included in luxury trekking packages, and they will help you every step of the way. They can also carry your personal stuff, such as additional clothing, sleeping bags, and other necessities.

It's important to remember that there can still be a weight restriction on the amount of luggage you can bring. This restriction often falls between 15 and 20 kilograms (33 and 44 pounds). As a result, it's a good idea to pack lightly and give priority to necessities.

It's usually advisable to review the precise information and contents of the luxury trek package you select, as different businesses may offer different services. To find out exactly what is given and what you might need to bring on your own, you can contact us, here.

The trekking permits are a requirement enforced by the Nepalese government to regulate and manage trekking activities in the region.To reach and trek in the Everest region, you need three distinct permits:

Sagarmatha National Park Permit: Rs. 3,000 per person

The spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons are best for making the Everest Base Camp trek luxurious in terms of the weather and overall trekking experience. The Everest region's trekking conditions are best during these times of the year.

The days lengthen and the weather begins to warm up in the spring. The mountains may be seen in incredible detail because the skies are typically clear. Rhododendrons in bloom and other vibrant blooms decorate the paths, enhancing the trek's natural splendor.

EBC Luxury trek is also perfect in autumn. With pleasant temperatures and bright skies, the weather is stable. Excellent visibility throughout the fall months makes it simpler to take in the expansive views of the nearby Himalayan peaks.

It's important to remember that while spring and autumn are considered to be the best seasons for luxury treks, these seasons are also the most crowded, leading to higher demand for accommodation. Though weather conditions may be a little more difficult, you can think about going in the shoulder seasons of late autumn or early spring if you're looking for a quieter and less crowded trek.

Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek is as equally physically demanding as a standard trek, it still requires a moderate level of fitness but the plus point of the Luxury Trek is the level of comfort and services you get during the trek. Trekkers should be able to walk 5-6 hours per day, sometimes at high altitudes. Prior experience of high altitude trekking is not mandatory, but a certain level of physical fitness and mental preparation is important.

Toilet facilities in the higher altitude regions are very basic and often consist of squat toilets. In recent years, some luxury lodges have been built in the Everest region, which offers Western-style toilets and hot showers. However, it is still advisable to bring your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

Luxury accommodations are offered during the Everest Luxury Trek, typically high-end lodges with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and hot showers. Some lodges also offer spa and sauna services, fine-dining restaurants, and Wi-Fi services.

The best time for an Everest Luxury Trek is from mid-September to November and from mid-March to May. These months offer the best weather conditions for trekking with clear skies, mild temperatures, and minimal precipitation.

The Everest Luxury Trek is less physically demanding than a standard trek to Everest Base Camp. However, it still involves trekking at high altitudes, which can be challenging for some trekkers. Proper physical preparation and acclimatization are important for a safe and enjoyable trek.

The main differences between a Normal EBC Trek and an EBC Luxury Trek are the level of comfort and exclusivity. Luxury trekking to Everest Base Camp offers high-end accommodations, unlimited gourmet food, private guides, porters, helicopter transfers, and other hightech amenities with exclusive services, while a Normal EBC Trek involves more basic accommodations and services.

Most luxury lodges in the Everest region offer electricity and Wi-Fi services. However, it is advisable to bring a portable charger and spare batteries as the electricity supply may be limited at higher altitudes.

Luxurious changes in the Everest region include the construction of high-end lodges with modern amenities, helicopter transfers, private guides and porters, gourmet food and drink options, and spa services. These changes provide a more comfortable and exclusive trekking experience while still being able to enjoy the natural beauty of the Himalayas.

Client Reviews

Great Service at Every Step, worth the Luxury Package

Steven.K,United States

From the initial preparation and planning phase with Sharan to the actual treks to Everest Base Camp and back, Footprint Adventure delivered excellent service. Our lovely and knowledgeable Guide Ashish and the firm took care of every little aspect. The entire time, we got genuine white-glove service, and our guide took fantastic care of us by making sure our lodgings were suitable and we always had access to delicious meals. The company managed ALL the logistics and technicalities around our nightly lodging, meals, general health, local flights, park admission fees, etc. after the airlines caused our bags to be delayed during our walk. People frequently inquired about Footprint Adventure from us along the Trek after noticing how kind and attentive our guide and porter were.
As an example, our guide would often be the first person in the tea house to awaken once I realized I was always waking up early so he could get me coffee as soon as the kitchen was open. That was definitely over the top!
On the vacation, my son became a little ill, and our guide immediately acted, giving the kitchen instructions on what to prepare to make him feel better and always putting his health and safety first as he recovered.
The accommodations were always the best available, making the Luxury Package a great value. The Welcome and Farewell dinners were lovely and a wonderful way to get to know other trekkers and the staff at Footprint Adventure.
I honestly can't say enough good things about this organization because I didn't have a single issue or complaint the entire time! This tour organization and its guides are highly recommended for this once-in-a-lifetime event!

A luxury trek to EBC, The dream come true

Phil.B,France

When my wife and I decided to accomplish a 5-year desire of trekking to Everest Base Camp, we chose Footprint Adventure. There are a lot of businesses to pick from, but their website caught our attention, and we loved that they were a Nepali business. Sharan was easy to get in contact with and quick to respond. He always replied as soon as he could (within a maximum of a 4-5 hour time difference). He took care of all the small details, and the booking went smoothly. Dipak, our tour guide, and a vehicle waited for us when we arrived in Kathmandu. 
Our group of seven people was swiftly transported to our accommodation. That afternoon, we held a meeting in the Footprint's office to finalize the details and plan our city trip for the next day. The city tour was a fantastic way to view the Kathmandu Valley's highlights.
Dipak has extensive industry knowledge and the proper connections. Flying into Lukla to start the trek can be weather-dependent, as it was for us. When it appeared that flights would not take place, Dipak and Sharan organized a helicopter journey for us. So that our expedition may begin promptly. Dipak's expertise and reputation became clear once we were on the trail. Without our knowledge, he took care of any necessary alterations for our walk, kept an eye on our health, and secured our lodging. 
Dipak would give us the itinerary briefing for the following day at dinner every night. Each morning he was up early to greet us and give us a rundown of the day over breakfast. He is a funny and well-knowledgeable guide. As soon as we arrived at the airport, he hurriedly took care of our luggage and security, and before long, we were tearing down the runway. We still don't understand how he managed to get us on that aircraft! Dipak was making arrangements for our hotel rooms in Kathmandu at the same time.
Again, I'll repeat that when changes need to be made to a trip and those changes appear to guests to be seamless, it is an indication of an experienced company and guide with valuable contacts. As your trekking company, I strongly recommend Sharan, Dipak, and Footprint Adventure. They are trustworthy, understand your needs, and act professionally.

"A Himalayan Adventure to Remember: EBC Luxury Trek with the Exceptional Guide Ganesh"

Sarah.G,Netherlands

I recently had the incredible opportunity to complete the Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek organized by Footprint Adventure, and it surpassed all my expectations. From start to finish, the trip was flawlessly organized by Sharan, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The luxurious accommodations along the way provided a welcome retreat after challenging days of trekking. My knowledgeable and experienced guide Ganesh from Footprint Adventure was not only passionate about the Himalayas but also deeply committed to ensuring our safety and well-being throughout the journey. The breathtaking views of towering peaks, majestic glaciers, and the iconic Everest Base Camp itself left me in awe at every turn. The itinerary allowed for acclimatization and exploration of key highlights, including the thrilling Lukla Airport, Hillary Bridge, and Kala Patthar Viewpoint, offering unforgettable vistas of Mount Everest. The team's attention to detail, excellent communication, and warm hospitality made this trek an unforgettable adventure.

I highly recommend Footprint Adventure to anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable journey to Everest Base Camp.

Marvelous Organization and Execution of our Luxury Trek

Caitlyn. L,Italy

Footprint Adventure took excellent care of us! We couldn't have been happier with everything, from our guide's greeting at the airport to the pre-trek briefing of our forthcoming trip at the office in Kathmandu to the days spent on the trek!

Abhishek, our tour guide, and Chhiring, our porter, were both excellent. They took care to make sure we were at ease and were aware of what to expect. The health checks at the conclusion of the day provided additional comfort that we wouldn't run into any major problems when we made our way to base camp.

On the Luxury Trek to EBC, Footprint Adventure chose superb accommodations. The Yeti Mountain Homes exceeded our expectations by a wide margin! Because of the altitude, there are fewer options for lodging above Namche. Along the way, we changed the itinerary a few times, and everyone was happy to cooperate.
Without a question, the trek is difficult, but with Abhishek's motivation and understanding of our capacities, we took our time and walked to the best of our abilities. Without his leadership and assistance, we would not have reached base camp.
We would want to express our gratitude to Abhishek, Chhiring, and Sharan (our planner), who kept in touch with us during the trip to ensure that our expectations were met. Would Highly Recommend Footprint Adventure's EBC Luxury Trek!
