Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon on 29th May
Organized every year in the month of May is the Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon which is a form of adventure sports that takes place in the Everest region. The Everest Marathon is an internationally renowned adventure sports event held annually on May 29th, starting from the Mt. Everest Base Camp and traversing the high Sherpa trails of the Khumbu valley. This event commemorates the historic achievement of Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary, who successfully summited Mt. Everest on May 29th, 1953.

Gyalbo Lhosar
Losar showcases the unique blend of Tibetan culture and Buddhist values to the global stage. Among the three Lhosars celebrated in Nepal, Gyalpo Lhosar holds special significance as the auspicious celebration of Tibetan New Year. Tibet and neighboring regions prepare for this occasion in their own distinct ways. “Lo” signifies year and “Shar” denotes new, collectively forming the concept of New Year.
The festivities of Gyalpo Lhosar span nearly a couple of weeks, with particular emphasis on the first three days. On the initial day, “Chang,” a homemade beverage akin to Tibetan beer, is traditionally served. The second day marks the pinnacle of celebrations, while the third day is dedicated to feasting. “Khapse,” fried twists, are a beloved delicacy during Gyalpo Lhosar, embodying the essence of love, nostalgia, and compassion associated with the occasion.
Gyalpo Lhosar holds particular significance in the Everest region, primarily celebrated by the local Sherpa community as their New Year festival. It is marked by traditional customs such as drinking chyang (traditional liquor), dancing, singing, and communal feasting, serving as a cherished occasion for family reunions. This festival is an annual highlight in Nepal. Witnessing the rich Himalayan culture and festivals in these high-altitude settlements is truly captivating. For those interested in experiencing these unique celebrations while trekking, we offer tailored packages at suitable times. Don’t miss out on these wonderful opportunities; ensure you’re well-informed and feel free to reach out to us for more details!
Route
Our trek commences with an adventurous flight to Lukla airport, famously known as Tenzing-Hillary airport, regarded as one of the most perilous airports globally due to its daring location at an altitude of 2800m. Lukla (2860 meters) serves as a small town providing modern amenities and catering to the trekking needs of adventurers en route to Everest. The trail then meanders alongside the Dudh Koshi river, navigating through hills sculpted by its twists and turns until reaching Namche Bazaar (3446m). Despite its remote location, Namche Bazaar captivates visitors with its exotic and densely clustered settlement, offering panoramic views of Mt. Thamserku (6623 meters).
Continuing onward, the trek passes through quaint Sherpa villages of Tengboche (3860m), Pangboche (3985m), Dingboche (4410m), Lobuche (4910m) and Gorakshep (5164m), leading to a narrow valley adorned with rock boulders, sand, and river deposits flowing from the renowned Khumbu glacier. Finally, the base of the world’s highest mountain comes into view. If fortunate enough to trek during the Spring or Autumn seasons, you may witness climbers’ camps as they strive for the summit of Everest. From the base camp, you will return back via the same trail to Lukla and fly back to Kathmandu.
Difficulty
The trek to Everest Base Camp is generally considered moderate as it winds through the narrow valleys of the Everest highlands. The final destination of the trek, Everest Base Camp, sits at an altitude of 5364 meters, rendering it inhospitable for human habitation. At this elevation, the air is thin with low oxygen levels and pressure, posing challenges for trekkers’ breathing.
Despite these obstacles, over 90,000 individuals from all walks of life, varying in shape, size, age, and fitness level, successfully reach Everest Base Camp each year. With adequate preparation and a positive attitude, the Everest Base Camp trek is deemed moderately difficult. Our team at Himalaya Trip has carefully crafted the itinerary to ensure a gradual ascent with proper acclimatization, thereby enhancing comfort and safety for trekkers.
Duration
On average, the Luxury Everest Base Camp trek, which starts and ends in Lukla, typically takes 14 days to complete. This duration provides ample time for trekkers to acclimatize to the higher altitudes with a well-planned itinerary. However, we understand that individual preferences vary, so we can customize the itinerary to meet your specific needs. Our standard 14-day itinerary involves approximately 5-6 hours of trekking each day. Additionally, you will need a day or two in Kathmandu for preparation and organizing your gear and clothing for the trek. If time constraints exist, it’s possible to complete the Everest Base Camp Trek in as few as 12 days.
Accommodation
Your accommodation during Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek will be unlike any other trekking experience in the Everest region. There are series of exquisite and lavish lodges that will cater to your comfort and opulence. Unlike a regular teahouse that is provided on normal Everest Base Camp trek package, you will be accommodated in Yeti Mountain home lodges during 3 stopovers : Lukla, Namche and Phakding.
Yeti Mountain Home comprises a series of cozy lodges nestled in the picturesque Khumbu/Everest region of Nepal. Positioned along the renowned trekking routes of the Everest region, including Lukla, Phakding, Monjo, Namche, Thame, and Kongde, these lodges offer comfortable accommodations for trekkers and travelers alike. Despite the remoteness of the space and geography, you will get to experience modern amenities in these lodges.
In addition to offering breathtaking views of some of the world’s tallest mountains, each lodge within the YMH collection features between 10 and 20 spacious rooms. These rooms are equipped with essential luxuries such as electric blankets, high-quality linens, and bathrooms boasting hot running water, providing the utmost in high-altitude comfort. In other stopovers beside these 3 places: Namche, Phakding and Lukla, you will have a deluxe accommodation in the best available teahouses in the town.
Meals
Throughout the Luxury Everest Base Camp trek, you’ll enjoy a satisfying array of meals. The package includes unlimited meals and hot beverages that you can consume during the trekking duration. At Yeti Mountain Home (Phakding, Namche and Lukla), buffet meals will be provided. The meals offerings feature a diverse selection of traditional, Asian, and Western dishes. However, as altitude increases, the available choices may become more limited.
It’s highly recommended to prioritize fresh vegetables and hydrating beverages such as green tea, hot lemon, lemon tea, ginger tea, and garlic soup, particularly at higher elevations. Additionally, don’t miss out on trying Nepali fare like Dal (lentils), Bhat (rice), and Tarkari (curry), as well as local specialties like Momo and Chow mein. For hygiene considerations, it’s advised to avoid non-vegetarian items at higher altitudes. Furthermore, steer clear of caffeinated drinks, hot chocolates, and alcoholic beverages during the trek.
Permits
For Luxury Everest Base Camp trek , you’ll need two essential permits: the Sagarmatha National Park Permit and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit. The Sagarmatha National Park, established in 1976 and a UNESCO Heritage Site, requires an entry permit which can be obtained either in Kathmandu or at the park’s entry gate in Monjo. This permit costs Nrs. 3000 (approximately $30) per person and contributes to the conservation efforts of the area’s ecosystem.
Additionally, access to the Everest region, governed by the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality after Lukla, necessitates a separate permit. This can be obtained in Lukla and requires a one-time entry fee of Rs. 3000 (approximately $30) per person. Unlike the national park permit, the Khumbu permit can only be acquired in Lukla or Monjo. To obtain both permits, you’ll need to provide two passport-sized photographs and a copy of your passport.
Navigating through the paperwork and permits might feel overwhelming, especially in an unfamiliar setting. That’s where Himalaya Trip comes in. We’re here to streamline your trekking experience by handling all the necessary permits and paperwork on your behalf, ensuring a hassle-free journey.

Incredible!
Hi! Im Sara, from Spain!
Good morning!
Yesterday we arrived from our 11-day trekking in Gokyo.
There were 3 people from Spain, and I don’t know how to express how happy I felt.
From the beginning, Himalaya Trip has been attentive to us, with a welcome at the hotel and explanation of the route, rental of necessary equipment, etc.
The most important thing for us has been the ease and comfort with which Ramesh (our precious guide) has taken care of us at all time.
Attentive to the food, to make sure we didn’t get cold, adapting the route day by day according to the needs of the team.
I only have words of gratitude for Ramesh, who I would recommend for any trekking in the world.
In addition to being a great guide and knowing all the mountains of Nepal perfectly, he is a great person, with a big heart.
We hope to repeat in the not too distant future and hopefully it can be with him, since he is already part of our family.
Thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks!!!!
Couldn’t recommend enough
Had an incredible experience doing the Mardi Himal trek with Himalaya Trip. Our guide Jay and our two porters Umesh and Masak were all simply incredible people.
I’m a photographer so always have odd requests for weird areas to access for better angles or even simply just extending time in certain areas and all requests were met with so much help from the team. Highly recommend
Mardi Himal: fantastic trek & wonderful guide
I had an amazing time trekking with Surpa, particularly as this was my first solo trek. Beautiful views doing the Mardi Himal trek over 4 days, Surpa was a great guide who organised everything so well for me, kept me well fed, supported a good pace the whole way and always cheerful. Would recommend, and I would happily have him as my guide again in the future. The organisation and booking with Himalaya Trip was great, really responsive on emails and Harka was so helpful in organising everything and meeting me in Kathmandu for a briefing before the trip. Thanks so much!
Once in a lifetime experience in the Himalayas
Our 4 day Mardi Himal Trek with guide Milan and porter Plekta was a wonderful experience. The manager Harka Gurung met with us over coffee in Kathmandu and briefed us about expectations as this was our first trek. After that our guide met us at our hotel in Pokhara, helped us rent equipment, and handled all logistics in between. Our first time in the Himalayas was unforgettable between all the unbelievable landscapes and scenery, and we were lucky to have MIlan and Plekta with us to experience it all. I can’t begin to describe how ethereal sunrise is over the base camp, but hopefully you’ll be able to experience it soon!
