Vital information

******* Climate and Seasonality *******

Nepal is subject to monsoon which determines the choice of trekking areas depending on the season: Spring Seasons [March to May] is ideal to watch the explosion of vegetation, including rhododendrons, and from around the Annapurna sanctuary trek to Everest, Generally clear skies in the morning, marked cloudiness in the late afternoon. The more we advance towards the month of May (monsoon), the more clouds rise early.

[Mid September to November] This is the main trekking season in Nepal. Day temperatures in Kathmandu are approx. above 20degC. Skies are usually clear and days on trek are sunny and mild with clear mountain views. Nights will be colder with temperatures dropping as low as to -5degC at the higher altitudes.

Summer Season Starts from June to September. Dolpo trekking and Mustang trekking of Nepal, and Tibet tour can be done in the monsoon.

Winter, from Mid December to late February, the cold is dry, the clear sky, the sunshine ... Many benefits without the tourist season. For example, short trek like chisopani and nagrkot trek, ghorepani poonhill trekking, Ghandruk Village trek would ideal for Winter Treks.

******* Travel Insurance *******

It is a condition of joining any of our holidays that you are insured against medical and personal accident risks (to include repatriation costs, air ambulance and helicopter rescue services). We also strongly recommend that you take out delayed departure and cancellation insurance, as all deposits paid are non-refundable.

A relaxed trip is not possible without good travel insurance. In the event of any sickness or injury, the cost of emergency treatment and evacuation is shocking. Therefore, travel insurance is strongly recommended for everyone who signs up with Mountain Sherpa Trekking & Expeditions.

We strongly recommend that you be careful while choosing a policy as some makes special exceptions for adventure travel. Before buying your insurance, please ensure that your insurer is aware of your MSTE itinerary and can agree to cover the activities being undertaken in the trip to Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan & India. Such as if you are planning trekking or climbing/expedition in Himalayas your insurance must cover emergency air ambulance/helicopter rescue including medical expenses.

For a group tours in urban areas, your insurance coverage of ambulance or helicopter rescue is not mandatory, however better to have with them too. Again, in Tibet, Bhutan & India trips there is no possibility of helicopter rescue, so no need to buy the air ambulance coverage.You need send us your copy of your insurance policy (e.g. your insurance certificate) or carry it with you while you come on the trip.

Wonderful Everest base camp Luxury Lodge Trek with Mountain Sherpa Trekking

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.

Best Luxury Everest base camp trekking experience

Review Posted by:

Best Luxury Everest base camp trekking experience

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.
