Our Everest Base Camp Treks
We understand that everyone’s adventure goals, budgets and timeframes are different. That’s why we offer several Everest Base Camp itineraries, each designed to suit a range of experience levels.
Everest Base Camp Trek (16 Days)
Follow in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay from Lukla to Base Camp, with ample time for acclimatisation and rest days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche. This is our most popular and best-known itinerary and is the perfect balance of challenge, culture and unforgettable scenery.
Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes Trek
A stunning variation that crosses the Cho La Pass and rewards trekkers with breathtaking views of Everest reflected in the turquoise waters of the Gokyo Lakes. This trek is ideal for those with a little more time and those seeking a more remote and varied route through the heart of the Khumbu.
Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return
The ultimate Himalayan finale. After reaching Base Camp, enjoy a private helicopter flight back to Kathmandu – an unforgettable experience that saves days of walking and delivers a spectacular bird’s-eye view of the world’s highest peaks.
Each trek follows our proven itinerary structure that prioritises gradual altitude gain, rest and recovery, ensuring safety and success.

Our Story
Trek Climb Ski Nepal was founded on a friendship forged in the Himalayas. Australian expedition leader Nick Farr and Nepalese mountaineer Tika Tamang met during a Cho Oyu expedition in 2003, and since then they’ve built one of Nepal’s most trusted adventure travel partnerships.
With both Nick and Tika having climbed Mount Everest, their leadership brings unique insight into what it takes to succeed at high altitude – not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. This lived experience forms the heart of every Everest Base Camp trek we run.
