Everest Base Camp Expedition
The expedition to the foot of Everest is a high-altitude journey to the highest point on Earth through the heart of the Himalayas. The classic Khumbu region route is designed according to expedition logistics and proper acclimatization principles: we gradually gain altitude, pass Sherpa villages, cross suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River, and ascend toward the Khumbu Glacier and Everest Base Camp (5,364 m).
The program includes a sunrise ascent of Kala Patthar (5,550 m), offering one of the closest and most panoramic views of Everest, as well as a route to the turquoise Gokyo Lakes, reflecting snow-covered peaks and glaciers. These sections reveal the Khumbu region from different perspectives — both iconic and more remote.
This is a fully organized hiking tour with complete support and safety control. On the ground, our lead guide Ashrey is responsible for route management, group condition, and all operational decisions. The itinerary includes acclimatization days, a steady pace, and professional support at every stage.
The route does not require mountaineering experience, but good physical fitness and discipline are essential. It is suitable both for those who have already trekked in the mountains and for first-time travelers who want to see Everest with their own eyes — not as a symbol on a map, but as a real presence before them.
We conduct this expedition as a continuous journey, combining safety, structure, and the depth of the place. It is more than two weeks of movement, altitude, and inner focus, where every step brings you closer to the scale of the Himalayas and your own sense of strength.
If you are ready to take this journey and make a meeting with Everest part of your personal story — join our expedition.

A little about Daria
Nepal came into my life unexpectedly. I started dreaming about mountains, receiving signs, and I felt it was time to go. I arrived without preparation — and the very next day I was already on the trail. Since then, the Himalayas have become my home, and I moved to Nepal to be closer to them — or more precisely, to her — Annapurna.
Among all the eight-thousanders, Annapurna is my special one, my favorite. She has always attracted me more than the others. I feel a unique connection with her — I believe she also chose me for a reason. My first ascent will definitely be to her.
By education, I am an Orientalist. I am deeply drawn to cosmology, symbolism, religious traditions, and ancient legends. During expeditions, I share these insights through stories and observations so that you can feel the depth of local culture, mythology, and mysticism
.
I am a Sagittarius. I speak Russian, English, and Chinese, I write music in the melodic techno genre, and I do photography, capturing the most vivid moments of expeditions. I also run a YouTube blog where I talk about the country, its people, their lives, and religions, so you can see Nepal through the eyes of someone who truly lives in this space.
If you join me on a journey, you will not just follow a route — you will feel Nepal, its strength, atmosphere, and depth. I want to show you this country through my own perception. With me, you will not stay the same — I will change something within you.

A little about Ashray
I was born in Nepal, and for us, mountains feel like something ordinary — they are everywhere, surrounding every home. But honestly, I never thought I would end up on high mountain trails myself. It happened unexpectedly: life turned in a way that I started working in tourism, and gradually began trekking in the mountains… and I fell in love.
Manaslu became my favorite peak from the very first sight. I have already been to Everest Base Camp, trekked the trails of Mardi Himal, explored Manaslu, and discovered the true magic of the Himalayas. You see, for us it may be a familiar landscape, but when you walk these trails step by step, it becomes an entirely different feeling.
I am 25 years old, and I have worked with international groups from Sweden, Australia, Israel, and Germany. I know how to make a trek safe and exciting — how to guide people through every pass, valley, and village so they can truly feel the spirit of Nepal.
Music has always been part of my life. I used to have a rock band and played guitar, but my friends moved to different cities. Now I take my guitar with me on expeditions, and in the camps, when the sun sets and we gather around the fire, I play for the group. The silence of the mountains, the fire, laughter, and songs create a magic that is impossible to forget.
In 2026, together with Darya, we are planning our first ascent of Mera Peak or Lobuche. It was through me that Darya discovered her love for the mountains, and now we are exploring the high Himalayas together, creating new routes and sharing this magic with others.
For me, a trek is not just a route. It is a way to show the true power and beauty of the Himalayas, to turn every step into an adventure, and to fill every evening in camp with music, laughter, and stories. If you join me, you will not just complete a trek — you will feel the mountains with your whole heart and perhaps discover something new within yourself.

This is a moderate to challenging route that requires good physical fitness and acclimatization to altitude, but does not require any technical mountaineering skills.
(02)
When is the best time to do the Everest Base Camp trek?
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are considered the best trekking seasons in Nepal due to the most stable weather conditions and the highest chance of clear mountain views.
(03)
Do I need physical preparation?
The treks are suitable for beginners without experience, but basic fitness is required. We recommend starting 2–3 workouts per week: running, elliptical, cycling, stair machine, or ski machine. Start with 20 minutes and gradually increase to 1–1.5 hours.
What insurance should I choose?

To participate, you must have specialized mountaineering medical insurance with the following conditions:
We also recommend baggage insurance. If you need help choosing or arranging insurance, we are happy to assist.

Important: trekking boots should be bought in advance and properly broken in before arrival.

What is altitude sickness and how does it affect the trek?
(06)
Altitude sickness is the body’s response to high altitude and low oxygen levels. Common symptoms include headache, nausea, fatigue, and dizziness.
To reduce risk, stay hydrated and ascend gradually. Diamox is commonly used and available in Nepal.
(For reference only. Consult a doctor before use.)

What are the accommodation conditions?
(07)
In Kathmandu, we stay in a comfortable hotel. During the trek, accommodation is in lodges (simple guesthouses). Each room has a bed, mattress, pillow, and blanket. There is no heating in the mountains, so it can get cold at night — sleeping bags are required.
Showers and toilets are usually shared. Electricity is available, but not everywhere, often in reception areas or cafés (sometimes for an extra fee).

How is food organized during the trek?
(08)
Three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner + tea/coffee.
The menu includes high-carbohydrate meals, momos, rice, potatoes, pasta, bread, pizza, local dal bhat, and desserts. Portions are large and filling, with many vegetarian options.

Is there internet during the trek?
Wi-Fi is available in lodges along the route. The speed is low — enough for messaging, but uploading photos or videos may be difficult. In bad weather, the internet may not work at all. Mobile network coverage is also unstable or unavailable in some areas.
We recommend informing family and friends in advance that you may be offline for several days.
We recommend informing family and friends in advance that you may be offline for several days.
When should I arrive and depart?
(10)
Arrival is required on the first day of the program, preferably in the first half of the day. Departure is allowed any time on the last day, but not earlier.
What will the weather be like during the trek?
(11)
Weather in the mountains can change several times a day, so the main rule for packing is layering.In warm conditions, you remove layers (T-shirt, fleece, down jacket, shell layer).In cold conditions, you add layers.
At lower altitudes (start of the trek), it is relatively warm — a long-sleeve synthetic T-shirt is enough. As you go higher, the air becomes significantly colder.

We recommend bringing cash in USD, EUR, or CNY. Currency exchange is widely available throughout Nepal, with exchange services offering various currencies.
What currency should I bring?

Storage of city belongings
(17)
Все вещи, которые вы не берёте с собой в горы, можно оставить в камере хранения в отеле в Катманду.
What will the weather be like during the trek?
