This is it! Our huge day kicks off with an early, moderately easy hike from Lobuche to Gorekshep. The following, straight trail to Everest Base Camp is tougher, covering rocky dunes and moraine, formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris. On the way to our destination, we’ll approach the famed Khumbu Glacier and icefall, located on the slopes of Everest. At the Base Camp, our goal, you’ll have the chance (during the spring climbing season) to meet climbers attempting to scale the mountain’s summit. Break out your cameras for unbelievable views of breathtaking beauty. As the afternoon sun starts to wane, we’ll head back to Gorekshep for some much-needed rest and relaxation after a grueling and busy day.

Kala Pattar is not a Nepali name but a Hindi name and translates to "black rock". From these black rocks above the peak, the views are stunning. Most eyes are locked on the mass of Everest and its rocky buttresses directly before us. Many of the famous ascent routes are quite clear. Below us, the Khumbu Glacier snakes towards the icefall and Western Cwm. We can see the area where expeditions set their base camp but the original site was at Lake Camp, now known as Gorak Shep. Take a look in every direction and soak it in. The view south and our route out are exceptionally stunning.

In the afternoon we make the return trek to Pheriche a small Sherpa town for overnight sleep. From Lobuche, you follow the path down as far as Dughla, and then instead of taking the trail back to Dingboche, you descend to the flat valley bottom. It is then quite a short distance on the flat to reach Pheriche where you will stay for the night.

This morning will seem much easier as you are descending and are at a lower altitude than you have been at for the last five days. If you did not have a chance to visit the gompa in Pangboche on the way up it would be worth a quick visit now. Leaving Pangboche you descend to cross a bridge over a terrifying gorge before making a short climb in the forest to Tengbocheto watch out for musk deer and pheasants in the woods along here. From Tengboche, you descend to the river at Phungithanga and then make the final climb of the day up through the pine forest to reach the very beautiful Sherpa village Namche. It will seem delightfully warm at this altitude and the air definitely packed with oxygen!!

If you are considering trek to Everest base camp in luxury way then we would highly recommend to join with Mountain Sherpa trekking and Expeditions. Everything is provided for and your satisfaction is supreme. So much so we experienced like a rich traveller on an excursion in beautiful Himalaya. This was one of the most flawless trips we have ever experienced.


We selected to stay best heritage Hotel accommodations in Kathmandu as well as best accessible luxury lodge in Everest base camp trek and we were never dissatisfied. The meals were hygienic and the food plentiful.

Our local Sherpa guide Rinji Was the greatest! He knew everyone everywhere we went. Having grown up in the Everest regions Khumbu Valley, he knew the Everest regions and Sherpa people in Khumbu like the back of his hand. I cannot sing the praises of this 100% pure Sherpa local Trekking agency, our trip designer, or our local Sherpa guide loud enough!

Big thank you to the team at Mountain Sherpa Trekking. I kindly recommend them to anyone interested in Luxury Everest base camp trek. We are planning to return Nepal next year for another great adventure in Annapurna.

Overall, I could not recommend Mountain Sherpa trekking and Expeditions enough! Not to mention, if you go with this local Sherpa Company your dollars are going to good causes. Pasang told us they have paid for in a rural community charity particularly sponsoring orphans home children’s and helping school materials in Khumbu Regions.

We were privileged enough to trek Mount Everest base camp in 2018. Mountain Sherpa Trekking & Expeditions family made our experience wonderful, from the moment we were met at the airport, to delivering comfortable Hotel and luxury lodges and hygienic meals. Possibly most of all we loved our very friendly and honest Sherpa guide Rinji, who was passionate about his hometown inspiring us to experience and understanding of Sherpa culture of Khumbu. During our luxury Everest base camp trek, we stayed at the best available luxury mountain lodge in Everest regions. Most of the lodges have good rooms, hot showers and best local foods.


We truly had a trip of a lifetime, going on to the base camp of tallest mountain in the world all without any worries in the excellent care of Mountain Sherpa trekking team.

Vital Information

Why Book your Best Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek with Mountain Sherpa Trekking

1). Top-notch Sherpa Guides

Our whole guides & staff are 100% Local Sherpa people from the Everest region. As you know “Sherpa’s are highly regarded as elite mountaineers and experts in their local area. They were immeasurably valuable to early explorers of the Himalayan region, serving as guides at the extreme altitudes of the peaks and passes in the region, particularly for expeditions to climb Mount Everest”

We have extremely professional, reliable, and experienced climbing Sherpa’s working with us. We have four expert Sherpa guides for each group of ten trekkers on the trail in order to make sure all of our teams have the best chance at safe success in their goals. Since we will employ experienced Sherpa guides, they will take care of everything and will make your trip easy and wonderful.

2). Supporting Our Community

We believe that we all must give back to our society, as a responsible Sherpa Company, we know the importance of giving and supporting those in need. Hence, Mountain Sherpa Foundation has been established to help address the basic needs problems of the deprived people and low-income families of a remote part of Nepal. We work directly with the local communities to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice. We seek to help and to be helped to ensure that poor people can improve their lives and livelihoods.

We continue to help the local community and have helped our Sherpa guides, porters, and staff. As things get worse for tourism workers amid covid-19 pandemic, Mountain Sherpa Trekking director Mr. Pasang Sherpa distributed relief packages to more than 450 Sherpa trekking guides, porters, and climbing guides on 25 May 2020, Similarly, He supported to Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) that has established a food bank for the tourism workers in Nepal during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Mountain Sherpa Trekking donates up to 15% of its annual revenue to Mountain Sherpa Foundation (MSF) Nepal’s projects, which cover regular maintenance of school buildings, Suitable-learning supplies for children in remote areas, providing necessary medical equipment to health posts of the lower part of Everest and so on.                       

3). Quality Run Journeys

Unlike most companies, the Mountain Sherpa Trekking guide will not control the food menu during your trek in Nepal, which means you can select any food from the lodge menu as per your taste. Our guides will provide you with enough meals on their trek as part of the trip price. A lot of times people are only given the same food each day for every meal, and we don’t do this. You are allowed to pick what you eat for each meal in all the lodges we stay in.

Our guides will make sure that you get good quality lodge accommodation & enough hygienic food during your treks and climbs in the Himalayas which is most important for a successful trip.

4). Ethical and Responsible Treatment of our Porters:

Most people would not be able to handle the challenges of these treks if it wasn’t for the porters helping with all the lifting, preparing, and cheering.

The importance of Insurance:

Travel insurance is necessary for any trip but is mainly important when undertaking activities such as high-altitude trekking in remote regions where medical facilities or assistance may not be close at hand. You’ll enjoy your adventure better with the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the right insurance cover in place should a mishap occur. This can be anything from lost or stolen luggage to a full helicopter rescue of a mountain.

For the Everest base camp luxury lodge trek, you need to confirm that your travel insurance covers Helicopter Rescue with a height limit of no less than 5,5000m. Most standard policies provide cover for walking up to a maximum of 2,500 meters.

The Nepal Trekking Activity Pack add-on extends cover to include trekking between 4,600m and up to 7,000m within Nepal and also includes all activities in the Extreme Activity and Activity packs.


Mountain Sickness:

When we hike above 3500 meters our bodies have to acclimatize to the decreasing amount of oxygen available. To allow our bodies to adjust we have designed our trek's itinerary so that you walk gradually, allowing acclimatization to occur. However, during the acclimatization process, You may experience some of the following symptoms.

  1. Tiredness
  2. Minor Headache
  3. Troubled sleep
  4. Loss of appetite/nausea
  5. Shortness of breath
  6. Cough
  7. Palpitation
  8. Swelling of the hands and face

Each Person acclimatizes at different rates. Our best suggestion is to take your time and drink plenty of water. These symptoms may not indicate the onset of A.M.S. and if you experience them it does not necessarily mean that you should not continue. All our Sherpa guides have extensive first aid training and we urge you to talk with the Sherpa guide at all times should you believe you have any symptoms in order that we can efficiently monitor your symptoms. The only cure for Acute Mountain Sickness is to descend. Please note that your guide has ultimate responsibility and may ask you to descend if symptoms persist.
