The pull of Mount Everest is strong; many aim for Base Camp, a challenging path, a tick on a list. However, the mountain, along with the entire region of Khumbu, offers more. Here, we introduce the best of the best luxurious Everest Luxury package, offering a premium trekking experience in the Everest region without reaching Everest Base Camp.
This 11-day Everest Luxury Trek focuses on experiencing the beauty of the Himalayas while prioritizing a premium experience, comfort, and convenience with private transfers, upscale accommodations, and personalized services. However, it does not include reaching the final destination, EBC.
Along the way, guests stay in upscale mountain lodges, the best luxurious accommodation in the Everest region, offering en suite facilities, heated rooms, gourmet meals, and impeccable Sherpa hospitality. Think Hotel Everest View, or it's like one of the highest windows in the world. This carefully crafted itinerary ensures minimal physical strain while maximizing exposure to giants like Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and the formidable crown of Sagarmatha itself.
You’ll see the Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries clinging to impossible slopes, and the raw beauty of the Khumbu. The days are yours to walk, to see, to absorb the scale without the brutal attrition of chasing a single point on a map.
This trip showcases the finest features that Khumbu has to offer, and we assure you of the best travel services to make your holiday the best of your life. Thus, do not miss this chance of glorious opportunity!
The itinerary begins with your arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. One of our staff members will greet you and then escort you to the hotel. The next day, you’ll set out on a guided tour of the city, visiting key heritage sites—places like Swayambhunath, Pashupatinath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square.
Subsequently, you’ll catch a flight to Lukla and hike to a small Sherpa settlement named Monjo. Continue trekking along the banks of the Dudh Kosi River, crossing high-hanging bridges, to the bustling Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar. Here, you will stay overnight in a selected superior lodge.
The route continues with a steady walk to Hotel Everest View, famed as one of the highest-placed hotels. You’ll stay the night here, with truly direct and expansive views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam directly from this vantage.
The next day, you will go on an excursion to Tengboche, home to the Khumbu’s largest and most important monastery. After your visit, return to Monjo for the night, via Namche and finally to Lukla.
Taking one last look at the mountains, you’ll end your trip by catching a flight back to Kathmandu.
If you are looking for a comfortable Himalayan adventure that is both accessible and rewarding, the Everest Luxury Trek is perfect for you!
The trek is considered an easy to moderate adventure. It is an excellent option for trekkers of varying experience levels. The trek involves long hiking hours through the high altitudes and rugged terrain. Hence you need to be physically fit for the trek.
Having said that, with the proper preparation and mindset, you'll be able to enjoy the region's stunning beauty while unwinding in the region's most luxurious lodges.
So, are you ready to take on the Everest Luxury Trek and create memories that will last a lifetime?

A 5-star hotel in Kathmandu with excellent facilities, luxury lodges at Lukla, Phakding, Namche, and the Everest View Hotel, and the best available guesthouses with en-suite bathrooms at Dole, Machharmo, and Gokyo Lake.

Read our genuine feedback from past travelers with Nepal Hiking Team sourced from TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot.
The Short Everest Trek with cultural tours was perfect for me and my friend because we had a limited time in Nepal because of our deadline. We were still able to enjoy the mountains with the Short Everest Trek and the experience was just amazing! From our first commutation with Mr. Ganga, we knew that we would be fine doing the trek because he was very prompt with the responses and very reassuring. Narayan was our guide and he was perfect at his work as well. The schedule was followed to the tee and fortunately, we did not have any delays during the Lukla return flight either. Everything worked out extremely well, and we are both very happy with the experience. We got good transport to the airport, the guesthouses were good, we enjoyed our meals, the village people were very friendly, the mountain sceneries from the villages were also amazing, everything was done in the most professional way and we had the best time of our lives! Nepal Hiking Team is the best!
A comfortable trek in the Himalayas!
Thank You Nepal Hiking Team for a very comfortable, well-thought-out and smooth trekking journey for me and my wife! The Luxury Trek was the best trekking journey that we had ever done in our life! It was filled with top-notched accommodations that were very cozy and comfortable to stay in, and the trek itself was amazing and filled with best moments! The view of the mountains like Thamserku and the Kongdi RI from the guesthouse in the mountain was just an ethereal experience! From the first conversation with Mr. Ganga, everything was arranged and information was convoyed very professionally. We were provided the option for a customized itinerary as well, but the existing schedule for the trek was perfect for us to begin with. We had a good Kathmandu City Tour on our first day with the team, and then the rest of the trekking journey was filled with problem-free relaxing trek and hike. We really enjoyed places like Namche Bazaar and Tengboche and truly felt the beauty of the region while at Kalapatthar and when we were at Gorakshep getting ready to hike to the base camp. At instances, we were joined by a couple of other trekkers as well, and we loved the setting of staying at one giant table during breakfast with people from places like Japan and Canada. Stories were exchanged and it was just a lovely time that involved good socializing in the midst of the Nepali Himalayas. We had contact with the head office at Kathmandu the whole time and our guide was one of professional and competent skills. He handled all of the arrangements quite well and it was a problem free experience for us to follow his lead in the mountains without having to worry about anything. We completely enjoyed the mountains (the view of Everest, Lhotse and the Nuptse from Kalapatthar were just phenomenal!) and the villages (Sherpa people are the most warm and friendly people in all the world!) and that was thanks to Nepal Hiking Team and their impeccable organization of the services. It was a grand adventure that we are glad we did and are happy and fortunate to have done it with an agency that is the best in the country!
The Everest Luxury Trek was considered by my family for its best accommodations and services. While consulting Mr. Ganga about the trek as well, we are provided with good reassurance and everything was then arranged very quickly. The date was set on the time-frame that we wanted it to, but when the plans were changed about the initial date, Mr. Ganga was understanding and rearranged it for us, which was simply the best! Finally, when we arrived in Kathmandu in the beginning of May, Mr. Ganga was there to greet us at the airport. My family, consisting of my wife and my 15 year old son, were just over the moon about the whole thing and starting off the trek with a city tour was great for us to learn about the country as well. Overall, where services are concerned, we absolutely have no complaints whatsoever. We cannot praise the arrangements and the organization of the trip, everything was taken care of, it was pre-planned and we did not have to do anything extra except enjoy the journey. We were provided with our own rooms in the guesthouses, we enjoyed our breakfast and dinner in the front porch of the Yeti Mountain Home with the view of the Everest mountain right in front of us. The trek was comfortable and our guide was understanding. He adjusted the pacing and luckily, none of us suffered from altitude sickness, or any problem for that matter. The mountains were clearly visible for a majority of the trek and the villages like Namche Bazaar and Tengboche were lively and vibrant! It was the best trek and we are so glad to have been under such good care, management and guidance by Nepal Hiking Team! Thank you for a phenomenal trekking experience.

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.

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.
