The Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek is the ultimate way to experience the world’s highest peak without compromising on comfort. This specially curated 11-day journey combines the thrill of trekking to 5,364 meters with the indulgence of the best luxury lodges in the Khumbu region.
During your return, you will find a spectacular helicopter ride from Gorak Shep directly to Lukla, saving you days of downhill walking and offering a bird’s-eye view of the Khumbu Icefall.
Away from the basic teahouse accommodations, featuring plywood walls and shared bathrooms, our 11-day Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek offers top-class hospitality services, even in the high altitudes of the Khumbu region. This trek is designed for those looking to achieve their Himalayan dreams without compromising on comfort and luxury.
Our trek utilizes the Yeti Mountain Home circuit in Phakding and Namche, where you can find the warmth of electric blankets and the comfort of en-suite bathrooms. More than just perks, these are necessities in the chilling Himalayan conditions. Another major advantage of our package is the overnight stay at the Hotel Everest View. While most trekkers stop for a quick coffee, you can spend the night and enjoy the private sunset over Ama Dablam.
Due to our years of experience, we understand the luxury changes above 4,000 meters. In high-altitude destinations like Dingboche, Nature Lovers Treks and Tours guides hand-pick lodges with the best available insulation and hospitality services to ward off the infamous “Khumbu Cough.”
You will experience the real highlight of this trek on Day 10. Avoiding the knee-shredding hike through the familiar trails, you will find a helicopter transfer from Gorak Shep to Lukla. Soar above the Khumbu Icefall and relish the exclusive views reserved for summit climbers.

Here are the top reasons to book this 11-day Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek in 2026/2027.
Comfortable Lodging: Trekking at 4,000 meters is a difficult task in itself. Moreover, the chill of the night can make your experience more brutal. In standard teahouse treks, you will often find yourself fighting the cold in a poorly insulated room. Our luxury trek prioritizes comfort that will further help in your recovery. You will stay in the Yeti Mountain Home, where you can find electric blankets and pressurized hot showers.
Inside the Sherpa Circle: You are not just another guest in these lodges. The luxury trek allows you to immerse yourself in the local Sherpa culture and lifestyle. However, we advise skipping the usual Yeti talk and shifting your attention to the solar greenhouse. While most trekkers rely on canned food, you will be eating fresh greens grown in the 3,500-meter altitude. On this luxury trek, you will witness small miracles of high-altitude engineering that most backpackers never even see.
Exclusive After-Hours View: The Everest View Hotel is a staple for all EBC goers. While most stop for a coffee, you will stay in the hotel and experience. The overnight stay offers a surreal and exclusive experience. By 2:00 PM, most hikers head down to Namche, leaving the entire terrace to yourself. Watch the sunset over Mount Everest and Ama Dablam, and experience the serenity of the Himalayas with a hot cup of latte all by yourself.
The Helicopter Transfer: Ask any veteran guide, and the descending trek back to Lukla is the hardest part. Your knees are shot, and the excitement will have settled down. On our luxury trek, you will depart the high-altitude destination of Gorak Shep in a helicopter. You will soar over the Khumbu Icefall, enjoying a bird’s-eye view, usually reserved for Everest summiters. The journey back to Lukla is a 15-minute flight, eliminating several days of strenuous trek.
Your mornings on the luxury Everest Base Camp trek begin with a soft knock and a steaming cup of “Bed Tea” brought straight to your room. This is a Sherpa tradition that also serves as your wake-up call. After tea, you will head for breakfast, often consisting of eggs and coffee, not the packaged instant one.
You will hit the trails by 8:00 AM. The early start keeps you ahead of the massive mule and yak caravans, ensuring you don’t spend your morning breathing in trail dust.
Throughout the trek, you will hear your guides yelling “Bistarai” (slowly), to ensure you are walking at a comfortable pace. Even if you are fit, the 4000-meter altitude demands respect. You will keep the pace steady, yet comfortable, maintaining your heart rate low.
By 3:00 PM, you will experience the Himalayan Chill. The sudden drop in temperature pays off as you reach your luxury lodge. While standard teahouse treks compel trekkers to linger in common rooms, you can head for a pressurized hot shower, a rare treasure at these altitudes, before changing into warm clothes.
In the evening, your guides will perform the Oximeter Check to ensure your blood oxygen levels are in check. Dinner is served before you retire. Contrary to most Himalayan treks, you will find more than just “Dal Bhat.” We prioritize high-protein meals and fresh vegetables grown in a local greenhouse.
The 11-day Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek is a premium trek that swaps the traditional teahouse accommodations of the standard treks with high-end lodges. On this journey, Nature Lovers Treks and Tours handles all logistics, from navigating the tricky Manthali flight diversions to securing rooms at the exclusive Everest View Hotel.
This trekking package also comes with porters (1 porter for every 2 trekkers) and experienced guides. We handle all complicated logistics to ensure a memorable and safe journey. Our 11-day Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek is an all-inclusive package, but we still recommend carrying extra cash for the additional Khumbu expenses, like high-altitude Wi-Fi, or a well-earned celebratory drink or two at the world’s highest Irish Pub in Namche.
The 11-day Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek is a premier way to experience the roof of the world. But we understand trekkers have different and unique requirements. While our standard luxury route is designed to cater to comfort and safety, we offer fully customizable options. With this option, you can include an extra night at the Hotel Everest View to soak in the panorama at a slower pace, or arrange a private helicopter side-trip to the turquoise Gokyo Lakes before your final flight to Kathmandu.
Consult your interests with our travel experts, and together we will create a fully tailored Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek that best fits your requirements.
Timing the Everest Base Camp Trek in the Khumbu region is pure science. For luxury trekkers, October remains the best time for trekking. The monsoon rains have completely subsided, making the private terrace views at the Hotel Everest View surreal. However, the spring months from March to May allow you to witness the spring transformation with vibrant lower hills and the base camp turn into a lively tent city of summit expeditions.
For premium sun-facing rooms at your luxury lodges, we recommend aiming for the very start of the season. Also, considering the unpredictability of the Himalayan weather, it is best to stay prepared for the Manthali diversion. But you can avoid this grueling 5-hour drive from Kathmandu by booking a heli-shuttle to Lukla.
In recent years, the effects of global warming have been evident across the Himalayas. Monsoon now extends into late September, and the Khumbu Glacier is rapidly receding. The final moraine walk to EBC is trickier than ever before. Making the helicopter return is now a smart safety choice, not just a luxury.
The Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek transforms a brutal expedition into a manageable adventure. Despite being a luxury trek, it is crucial to remember that the Himalayas are still the boss. You will need to trek for six hours daily into the thin atmosphere, where the chances of altitude sickness are always present. The trek is physically demanding, but your days end with luxury accommodations, allowing you to get proper rest amid modern amenities.
Luxury is a recovery tool. You will find heated rooms and high-hygiene nutrition to prevent the cumulative fatigue that usually triggers altitude sickness. The ultimate cheat code is the helicopter return, which allows you to skip the grueling 60km descent.
The 11-day Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek is built for those who want to achieve the joys of standing at the roof of the world without sacrificing their physical well-being. This trek is specially suited for:
