Everest Base Camp Trek at Christmas, Nepal
A wonderful, life enhancing holiday experience. The organisation was superb and the trek team were a joy to be with - competent, helpful but very friendly and approachable. I would recommend this trek to anyone.
Mr H, Glasgow
Christmas is a fantastic time to do the Everest Base Camp trek as we often had the trail completely to our ourselves, the tea houses were quiet and the clear skies made for stunning views every day. Standing on top of Kala Pattar on Boxing Day, looking across to the summit of Everest, made it our most special Christmas ever. Thank you Mountain Kingdoms.

The magic of Everest lures trekkers from all over the world to trek along the best-known trail in the Himalayas – this classic Everest Base Camp Trek is a once in a lifetime opportunity to stand in the shadow of the tallest mountain in the world. We have been perfecting this route for over twenty years, and it combines an outstanding trek, allowing you to fully acclimatize to the altitude while trekking to Everest Base Camp. You couldn't spend your Christmas holidays in a more special place.
With Mountain Kingdoms, you can expect the very best service and specialist knowledge on your trek to Everest Base Camp. All our Everest Base Camp treks are led by experienced Sherpa guides, most of who have been to the summit of Everest itself, and there is also plenty of time at the start and end of your trek to enjoy the hustle and bustle of Nepal’s medieval capital, Kathmandu. A walking tour of some of the highlights of Kathmandu is included and we use a recently refurbished 4 star hotel.
Our Everest Base Camp trek starts with a spectacular flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. From here, we take an unusual route away from the crowds on Everest’s main walking paths deep into the heart of Sherpa country. We stay in rural tea houses along the way, allowing you to experience traditional Nepalese hospitality and relax in rustic comfort after a hard days walking. We now also spend two nights in the Sherpa capital Namche Bazaar - the perfect place to enjoy an acclimatisation day. All our Everest Base Camp Treks also include all meals en route, hot drinks, drinking water, supplementary snacks, sleeping bag, fleece liner and four solar showers.
After fourteen days of tough trekking, this long, challenging Everest Base Camp trek culminates with either an early morning ascent of Kala Pattar or a visit to Everest Base Camp itself. We highly recommend ascending Kala Pattar (5,545m/18,188ft), which overlooks Everest Base Camp – the views out over Everest are magical, and the sense of achievement is simply unforgettable. For those who would like the option to visit both Kala Pattar and Everest Base Camp, we are offering three special departures in 2010 - 12th April, 1st November and 8th November. See the Special Departures itinerary for more details.
