This package includes accommodation at a 5-star deluxe hotel in Kathmandu, such as Hotel Yak & Yeti or a similar centrally located luxury property.

The hotel provides easy access to markets, restaurants, and cultural sites—plus a hearty breakfast each morning to start your day right. 

If you’d like to extend your stay, we’re happy to arrange it. Extra nights are available at USD 135 per night, including breakfast and taxes.

Yes, absolutely. You can safely store your extra luggage at the hotel in Kathmandu while you're on the trek. This is a free service, and your belongings will be securely kept until your return.

We recommend packing only the essentials for the trek to keep your load light and manageable.

Yes, travel insurance is required to join the Everest Luxury Trek. Your policy must include emergency medical coverage, helicopter evacuation from altitudes up to 4,000 meters, and trip interruption protection, especially for potential Lukla flight delays or cancellations due to weather. 

We recommend reviewing your policy thoroughly to ensure it meets all these requirements before your departure.

Booking is quick and easy. To confirm your trip, simply pay a 20% non-refundable deposit and settle the remaining balance upon arrival in Kathmandu—either by card or in USD cash. If your plans change, you’ll receive full credit to postpone your trip for a future date.

To book, visit our website’s Dates & Cost section, select your preferred departure, and proceed through our secure payment gateway.

If you need to cancel your trip, simply send us a cancellation request—we’ll make the process smooth and straightforward. 

Please note that the 20% deposit is non-refundable and will be retained as a cancellation fee.

However, you're free to postpone your trip to any future date, and the full deposit amount will be credited toward your next booking. 

This way, you won’t lose your investment even if your travel plans change.

The Luxury Everest Trek is easy to moderate, ideal even for beginners with basic fitness. No previous trekking experience is required. With well-paced days, comfortable lodges, and expert guidance, it’s the most relaxed and enjoyable way to experience Everest.

To prepare, start cardio training (like walking, jogging, or swimming) at least 1–2 months in advance. Short hikes with a daypack can help build the stamina and leg strength needed for the trail.

The Everest Luxury Trek covers approximately 45 km (27.9 miles) in total, following the scenic route: Lukla – Monjo – Namche – Tengboche – and back to Lukla.

Designed for comfort and enjoyment, you’ll walk 6–10 km (3.7–6.2 miles) per day, with plenty of breaks, shorter walking hours, and time to relax. It’s a shorter and easier alternative to the full Everest Base Camp trek—perfect for those who want to experience Everest in style.

If you notice symptoms like headache, dizziness, nausea, or shortness of breath, tell your guide immediately. Our expert team is trained to respond quickly and will take the right steps—whether it’s rest, medication like Diamox, or descending to a lower elevation.

We also check your oxygen level daily using an oximeter for early detection.

That said, the Everest Luxury Trek is designed with a safe, gradual pace and lower elevations, making the risk of altitude sickness very minimal. With comfortable lodges, shorter hiking days, and proper acclimatization, you’ll enjoy the journey without worry.

The Everest Comfort Trek package can be done throughout the year, but for the best overall experience, we recommend spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November). These seasons offer clear skies, stable weather, and stunning mountain views.

While winter and monsoon treks are possible, they come with challenges like snow or rain. Choosing the right season ensures a safer, more comfortable, and truly rewarding journey.

You should have a physical health examination before going on the Everest if you are unsure about your physical condition. If you suffer from serious health problems that impact your breathing, coordination, balance, or other functions, you must consult your physician and get feedback.

This trek is designed for luxury travelers who value top-tier comfort. You’ll stay in 5-star hotels in Kathmandu and the best luxury lodges in the Everest region, offering heated rooms, electric blankets, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, and Wi-Fi.

For meals, expect freshly prepared, high-quality dishes served with care—perfect for those who are particular about food standards.

If you’re fussy about accommodation or dining, this is the most comfortable and refined way to experience the Everest region.

No vaccinations are required to join the Everest Luxury Trek. However, if you’d like to take extra precautions, you may refer to CDC or consult your doctor for recommended travel vaccinations. Please inform us of any existing medical conditions when booking.

At Nepal Hiking Team, your safety is our top priority. All our lead guides are professionally trained in First Aid and altitude response, and they monitor your condition throughout the trek.

We carry a comprehensive First Aid kit, oximeter, essential medications, and have emergency evacuation plans in place. If needed, our team can quickly arrange descent or coordinate a helicopter evacuation to ensure your well-being at all times.

No, it's not necessary to bring a full First Aid kit. Our guides carry a complete medical kit, including an oximeter and essential first-aid medications. However, if you take any personal medication, please make sure to bring it with you. 

We recommend bringing a 20–22-liter daypack to carry 3–4 kg of essentials like water, phone, wallet, camera, sunscreen, and other valuables needed during the day.

Your main luggage will be carried by a porter, with one porter assigned for every two trekkers, carrying a combined maximum of 25 kg. Please pack your trekking gear accordingly to stay within this limit.

We recommend bringing well-fitted hiking boots with good ankle support. Be sure to break them in before the trek to avoid blisters and ensure all-day comfort.

Also, pack a pair of lightweight slippers for use at the lodges.

Note: If you're trekking during the winter season, make sure your boots are compatible with microspikes or crampons for added safety on snow or ice.

Pack seasonally appropriate clothing and keep it light—this is a short trek, so there’s no need to overpack. Essentials include a hiking jacket, trekking pants or trousers, quick-dry shirts, a warm layer, and a good pair of hiking boots.

Also, pack enough undergarments, as laundry service is available in Namche, but limited beyond that.

For a complete list, please refer to our Equipment Checklist to ensure you're well-prepared without carrying unnecessary items.

The Everest Luxury Trek is available for solo travelers, but the cost is slightly higher since our listed price is based on a minimum of two people to keep the rate lower.

To receive the updated solo rate, please contact us via email or WhatsApp with your preferred travel dates. We’ll be happy to assist you.

Direct flights between Kathmandu and Lukla are available only during the low season. If you book your trek during off-peak months, you may fly directly from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu.

However, during peak trekking seasons—from late March to mid-May and late September to late November—all flights operate via Ramechhap (Manthali) Airport due to heavy air traffic at TIA.

Ramechhap is about 132 kilometers from Kathmandu and requires a 5-hour drive. We arrange early morning transport from Kathmandu to Ramechhap to ensure timely check-in and smooth flight operation during these busy months.

If your flight to Lukla is canceled or delayed, you have two options. You can wait and fly the next morning, if the weather permits, which will use the reserve day planned at the end of the trek.

Alternatively, you can take a shared helicopter, which costs an additional USD 450 per person, plus the cost of a seat for your guide. This helps you maintain your original trekking schedule without adjustments.

Since Lukla flights depend entirely on clear weather and can be affected at any time of year, we’ve included one buffer day in Kathmandu to manage such situations smoothly.

Yes, you can upgrade to a shared helicopter flight from Kathmandu to Lukla or vice versa. The cost is approximately USD 450 per person one way, after adjusting for the regular flight ticket, plus the cost of the guide’s seat. 

This option lets you avoid the long drive to Ramechhap and fly directly—advance booking is required.

The total baggage allowance for the Lukla flight is 15 kg per passenger, including both your duffel bag (carried by the porter) and your daypack.

This trek blends Himalayan adventure with refined comfort, featuring luxury lodges, gourmet meals, and breathtaking views of Everest—all without long or strenuous hiking days.

Perfect for families, seniors, or first-time trekkers, it offers shorter walking hours, safe altitude levels, and the care of our expert guide team.

You’ll enjoy scenic flights, deluxe accommodations, and authentic Sherpa hospitality along the way. So why not choose this trek and comfortably experience Everest?

The Everest Luxury Trek is offered as a private trip only—there are no fixed group departures. This allows us to provide a smoother, more personalized experience, tailored to your pace and preferences.

You can customize the itinerary based on your travel dates, interests, and needs, ensuring maximum comfort and flexibility throughout your journey.

Yes, it’s possible to extend your trek if you wish to spend an extra day in the mountains. Since this package includes exclusive luxury lodges that are often booked in advance, extensions are subject to availability at the time.

We’ll do our best to accommodate your request, and any additional cost will vary based on the lodge rates and services for the added day.
