If you’re dreaming of reaching Everest Base Camp but need to stay within a budget, our budget-friendly Everest Base Camp trek is the perfect choice. Enjoy all the highlights of this iconic trek, from stunning mountain views to the unique Sherpa culture, without breaking the bank. This low-cost Everest Base Camp trekking package is designed for travelers who want an affordable and unforgettable adventure.

Why Choose a Budget Everest Base Camp Trek?

The budget-friendly Everest Base Camp trek offers a fantastic opportunity for those looking to experience the beauty of the Himalayas on a limited budget. With basic yet comfortable accommodations in Kathmandu and along the trail, you’ll still be able to enjoy the breathtaking views of Mount Everest and the surrounding peaks—all while keeping your costs down.

From the moment you arrive in Kathmandu, we take care of your travel logistics, ensuring your airport transfers and domestic flights are booked. Along the trail, you’ll stay in clean, simple tea houses with bed and breakfast provided—allowing you to manage your budget by choosing where to eat for lunch and dinner. We also provide an experienced, English-speaking guide to ensure a safe and rewarding experience on the trek.

Upgrade Options: For those seeking extra comfort, we offer the option to upgrade to services such as full-board meals, stays in 3-star hotels in Kathmandu, and full-board meals throughout the trek. You’ll also stay in well-maintained, tourist-standard lodges along the route, offering a more comfortable stay while still immersing yourself in the adventure.

This tour was very accommodating with any needs I had, and were willing to provide solo tours if no other people had booked the same dates. My guide was great and was knowledgeable about the Himalayas! I highly recommend

As part of a large group, Nepal Hiking delivered a well organised package that took care of transfers, accommodation, meals, inflights and trekking passes. On arrival at the airport we received a very warm welcome and were then transferred to a lovely hotel in Thamel with wonderful staff, clean rooms, hot showers and great breakfasts. You can also enjoy drinks and breathtaking sunsets overlooking Kathmandu, from the rooftop terrace.

The management and staff were always very attentive and most helpful to any questions or advice required. All throughout the trek the guides made our comfort and safety a priority while remaining very supportive, caring and passionate about the people and their work. What more could you ask for?

Thank you to all the wonderful team at Nepal Hiking for your professionalism, great organisation and assistance. This made my stay in Nepal, a pleasure indeed! Memories forever!

This was the third time that I have employed the services of Nepal Hiking and like previous adventures they delivered a professional attentive comprehensive and excellent value package. I took my family of 2 adult children and my wife this time on the Everest Base Camp trek.

Every aspect of our trip was seen to with friendly and prompt attention by Bhairam. Our guide Mahendra and porters were outstanding in assisting all of us to reach our potential on the trek while never compromising our safety and personal challenges.

Communication was really good as all the guides are very experienced and speak fluent English. Lots of information about the places on the trek made it a great family learning experience as well as an exciting physical challenge.

Nepal Hiking will take care of accommodation, airport transfers all trekking documents and flights, and will customise your trek to suit your level of fitness and needs.

An amazingly efficient company run by people who are passionate and ethical.
Do not look elsewhere, let Nepal Hiking make your trip to Nepal a memorable one.
