Unforgettable Trek to Everest Base Camp Trekking to Everest Base Camp was an incredible and unforgettable experience. Each stage of the journey was well-organized, with beautiful scenery and just the right amount of challenge. Our guide made a big difference—he was cheerful, supportive, and always motivating us. His encouragement inspired us to make the tough climb to Kala Patthar, where we witnessed an unforgettable sunrise over Everest. That moment alone made the entire journey worthwhile. If you're thinking about doing the EBC trek, I highly recommend it. With the right team and mindset, it’s an adventure you’ll never forget.

We are incredibly grateful to Dinesh Bhai for making our Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar trek a truly unforgettable and successful experience. From the very beginning, his dedication, planning, and constant support ensured that every aspect of our journey was smooth, safe, and memorable. Dinesh Bhai’s deep knowledge of the region, his calm demeanor, and his ability to handle every challenge with a smile gave us the confidence and motivation to push through the tough moments. His passion for the mountains and genuine care for our well-being were evident in every step of the journey. Thanks to his leadership and encouragement, we not only reached EBC but also successfully summited Kala Patt

This was an amazing trip. Himalayan Social Journey was an excellent company that took care of us from the minute we left the airport until we returned three weeks later. Our guide, Indra, was incredible and made an already excellent experience even better with his encyclopedic knowledge of the area and his genuine excitement to share his country with us. The beautiful views never stopped with some of the highlights being Gokyo Lake, the panoramic views from Dzongla, hiking across multiple glaciers, and of course reaching Everest Base Camp. I can not recommend this tour and this company enough.

Great experience! The tour company was easy to communicate with leading up to the trip. Our driver was on-time and friendly. The check-in process for the flight was quick and easy, and the boarding process was smooth! The views were incredible! The Himalayan Mountains are breath taking! I would definitely recommend this trip to others!

Frequently Asked Questions

HSJ is a family-run company with 18 years of continuous operation. All our guides are government-licensed, English-speaking, and wilderness first-aid certified. We include all permits in our quoted prices, provide 24/7 on-ground support, and give back to local communities — 7% of every booking funds children's education and Himalayan community projects in Nepal. We are a TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice award winner for 2025 and 2026.

Yes. A dedicated 7% of every booking made with HSJ goes directly to the Himalayan Community Project, which funds children's education in remote mountain villages, supports local schools, and contributes to sustainable livelihoods for Himalayan communities. When you travel with HSJ, your journey makes a direct positive impact on the people and places you visit.

Altitude sickness (Acute Mountain Sickness, AMS) occurs when you ascend too quickly and your body cannot acclimatise fast enough. Symptoms include headache, nausea, fatigue, and dizziness. Prevention: ascend slowly, follow the golden rule of climb high, sleep low, stay well hydrated, and avoid alcohol at altitude. All HSJ itineraries include acclimatisation days built in to reduce risk.

Yes. All HSJ guides carry a comprehensive first-aid kit including pulse oximeters, oral rehydration salts, and Diamox (acetazolamide) for AMS management. On higher altitude routes, guides are trained to identify early signs of AMS, HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema), and HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema) and can initiate emergency descent or evacuation.

Domestic flights in Nepal — especially the Lukla flight — are weather-dependent and cancellations are common. Our itineraries include one to two contingency days for this reason. If a flight is delayed beyond the contingency, we will arrange helicopter transfer or an alternative route, with any cost difference billed at actuals.

Most nationalities can obtain a Nepal visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu) or at land border entry points. As of 2025/26, tourist visas cost USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days, or USD 125 for 90 days. You can also apply online via the Nepal e-Visa portal before departure. Indian nationals do not require a visa.

Travel insurance is not legally mandatory, but HSJ requires all trekkers to carry valid insurance before departure. Your policy must cover high-altitude trekking up to the altitude of your route, helicopter evacuation (minimum USD 100,000), and emergency medical treatment.

Most treks require at least two of the following: TIMS card (Trekkers' Information Management System), National Park / Conservation Area permit (e.g. Sagarmatha National Park for EBC, ACAP for Annapurna treks), and Restricted Area permit (required for Upper Mustang, Manaslu, Tsum Valley, and other remote regions). All permits are included in HSJ package prices — we handle the entire process on your behalf.
