Your Everest Base Camp Journey - 2026
Your adventure begins in Kathmandu, Nepal’s bustling capital. From there, we’ll take a scenic mountain flight into the heart of the Himalayas.
Over 14 days of consecutive trekking, you’ll journey through the breathtaking Khumbu region — a land of towering peaks, fluttering prayer flags, remote Sherpa villages, and ever-changing landscapes. Each day brings something new, from lush forests and glacial rivers to rugged alpine terrain and sweeping Himalayan vistas.
Along the way, you’ll pass iconic stops like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, and ultimately reach the legendary Everest Base Camp.

*You are welcome to arrange your own international flights and meet us in Kathmandu. The cost of flights from Dublin, €1500 will be deducted from your fee.
**Important Note on Internal Flights
Flights from Kathmandu to the Himalayas are included in your package. However, due to unpredictable mountain weather, these flights are frequently delayed or cancelled.
To ensure the expedition stays on track, all participants are required to carry a €600 contingency fund to cover the cost of a helicopter transfer into the Himalayas, should it be deemed necessary by the local team.
Getting a helicopter into the Himalayas is an amazing experience in and of itself, but could become essential in terms of ensuring that we can keep the trek on a safe acclimatisation schedule, even if weather conditions disrupt our original flight plans.
Accomodation
Along the trekking route we will be staying in locally owned and run lodges, known as tea houses. These tea houses are very basic structures but have a lovely, warm and welcoming atmosphere.
In Kathmandu, we will be staying in local 3* Nepali Standard Hotel, in the bustling tourist district of Thamel in Kathmandu.
Weather and Equipment
The weather in the Himalayas is unbelievably unreliable and hard to predict. Regardless of what time of year you travel, clear views cannot be guaranteed. Whilst trekking you will be warm but cool down rapidly when stopping for lunch. During the day in the lower regions, temperatures range from 25º to 10º with the possibility of rain. At night, temperatures reduce rapidly and range from between 5 to -5 degrees.
At higher altitudes temperatures range from 5º to 15º during the day, with the possibility of bitterly cold winds. At night, temperatures can drop to -15º.
Once you sign up to the trek, you will receive an information pack which will include a comprehensive list of gear that you will need for the trek. The most important piece of equipment is a comfortable, reliable pair of trekking boots. It is worth remembering that our trekking company will provide you with a good quality down jacket and sleeping bag together with a travel bag.
At our welcome and information evening as well as on our training hikes you will also be given further tips and advice on what gear you will need and importantly what is not necessary!
Porters
Your rucksack will be carried by locally employed porters. You are permitted a maximum of 15kg in your rucksack.
You will be asked to carry a light backpack containing all you need for the duration of the daily trek i.e., your camera, water, sun cream, hat, gloves and all money/valuables.
Vaccinations
You will need to consult your doctor or Travel Medical Clinic for a medical check-up and assessment in relation to your personal circumstances and needs in terms of immunizations. Please find below the common recommended vaccinations required for Nepal.
Recommended
Tetanus / Polio /Diphtheria/Hepatitis A/Typhoid
Optional
Hep B & Rabies
(proof of vaccinations will be required prior to travel).
What is NOT included?
While we’ve covered most of the essentials, the following items are not included in the package and should be arranged individually:
- Personal travel insurance (mandatory and must include trekking to high altitude)
- Vaccinations – consult your GP or travel clinic for up-to-date recommendations
- Nepali visa – approx. $50 USD, issued on arrival in Kathmandu
- Tips for guides and porters – customary and appreciated
- Cost of participation – please note that fundraised money cannot be used to cover the cost of your place on the trek; this must be self-funded
Food
Typically, breakfast will be provided at the lodge where we sleep. We will stop along the trekking route for lunch. We enjoy a long leisurely lunch, usually up to 2 hours. This makes for a welcome break to trekking as well as aiding acclimatization. Dinner will be served in the evening at the lodge in which we will be staying.
The tea houses along the Everest Base Camp trek offer a surprisingly wide variety of meals all cooked to order. Most of the food is vegetarian and grown in the surrounding areas. Dishes are typically potato, egg, rice or noodle based with vegetables depending on the season. You will find a lot of garlic on the menu, it’s said to help with acclimatization! You can also get treats along the trail, with chocolate, crisps and soft drinks available at all lodges. Inevitably the higher you go the more expensive it gets.
In some of the lower towns you will find meat available on the menu, generally however we advise participants to go vegetarian for the trip.
Fitness
In order to enjoy the trek it is recommended that you are in good physical shape and that you are able to walk in hilly terrain for several hours per day over 14 days. Stamina and endurance are required! Whilst challenging this trek is very achievable.
The best thing that you can do to prepare yourself for this trek is to keep yourself well, and arrive in good physical condition. The trek is graded moderate to strenuous due to the effects of altitude. Previous hiking experience is not required. The fitter you are and the more training and hill walking you do in advance the more you will enjoy the whole experience!
Training hikes will be arranged pre-departure, it is highly recommended, but not compulsory that you attend these, they are entirely for your benefit. The pace will be set by the guide whilst trekking.
Safety
Your safety & security during this trek is our primary concern. All our trekking guides are fully qualified and licenced. They are also wilderness first aid trained and have over 20 years experience in hiking and leading teams in the Everest region between them.
They are extremely competent and knowledgeable. You will also be accompanied by an Irish Team Leader. Their main responsibility will be to liaise between guides and participants and ensure the smooth running of the trek.
My Everest Experience with Wild & Free
Just back from Nepal after doing the Everest Base Camp trek with Jono from Wild & Free, couldn’t recommend this guy enough. That was Jono’s 7th time completing the trek, and it shows. Was looking bad at the beginning, two day delay due to bad wheather we couldnt get flying out of Katmandu but through Jono and his contacts in Nepal they managed to secure helicopters so we could continue our adventure and still have enough acclimation days to enable us to reach base camp. Would highly recommend Wild & Free, well organised and established in Nepal.
