The Luxury trek to Everest base camp is the best possible convenient trek in the region. The magnificence of the mountains will first leave you speechless, the comfortable luxury with which you experience it will then turn you into a lifelong storyteller.
Thanks to prompt services, facilities, and a carefully prepared itinerary, anyone can complete the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek with ease. First of all, trekking to the Khumbu region, a paradise of its own, is a luxury. The Everest Luxury Trek then adds the best services and refinement to it.
After you arrive in Nepal, you will be hosted at The Kathmandu Marriott Hotel, a 5-star establishment. This luxury trek to Everest Base Camp ensures the finest services, hospitality, and indulgence, whether you are acclimatizing in the bustling Namche Bazaar, sitting by the communal teahouse heater at Dingboche, or sleeping at Gorakshep.
You will spend 3/4th of the nights in luxury lodges. Lodges till Deboche have complete luxury amenities - hot shower, hot bags, electric blanket, towels, free hot beverages, unlimited food and soups, and comfortable bedding.
Higher up at Dingboche, you will stay two nights in rooms with attached bathrooms and electric blankets. Sublime Trails provides hot showers in the common shower room. Meanwhile, Lobuche and Gorakshep have modest lodges but ensure the finest services possible in the region, with an adventurous undertone. Nonetheless, you will get hot water to wash.
Second, you’ll take a scenic helicopter ride from Kathmandu to Lukla. This avoids having to board a plane to Lukla. During trekking seasons, plane flights to Lukla are operated from Ramechhap, which requires extra travel. Meanwhile, this Luxury EBC Trek allows you to take a helicopter straight from Kathmandu. Helicopter flights also have less stringent weather restrictions and hence encounter fewer delays.
Third, acclimation days on our Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary are intentionally longer than on the standard EBC trek for a reason. You’ll get a total of four acclimatization days - two days in Namche and two in Dingboche. Furthermore, you'll also avoid the grueling trek from Namche to Tengboche by staying at Tasinga instead. This way, you will avoid the toughest day on the trail and get a taste of our luxury value addition at the Teahouse Lodge in Tasinga.
Furthermore, we’ll be spending a significant number of days (and nights) at altitudes of 3,000 to 4,500m. You will have eliminated, if not significantly minimized, risks of altitude sickness when you trek to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar. Resting well lets you get the most out of the entire trek, ensuring you don’t lose the view to fatigue and weakness.
Higher up into the Everest trail, teahouses at Lobuche and Gorakshep are slightly modest yet the best of what is possible in the region. No teahouses will have attached bathrooms, yet Sublime Trails will make the best arrangement according to the services available. You will still get electric blankets, the cleanest of shared toilets, and rooms close to bathrooms for convenience at night. Nevertheless, this trip will make up for these modest couple of days with gorgeous views from Kala Patthar and triumph at EBC.
Additionally, we consider our staff and team to be a part of the luxury experience on this trek. Your private trek guide will ensure the delivery of promised services and standards of luxury lodges. They will keep track of your health condition during the trip and assist you in setting an appropriate pace. Experienced and hospitable, our guides are trained (and encouraged) to guarantee a pleasant experience for you. Your guides and assistants for the EBC Luxury Trek will be motivating, supportive, and flexible, apart from being great storytellers with a good sense of humor.
Finally, you’ll conclude the Luxury Everest Trek by boarding a helicopter from Gorakshep to Kathmandu.
The Best Available Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek Accommodation
With Sublime Trails, you will experience the best available Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek Accommodation. Our team has visited the Everest region numerous times. From our experience and past client reviews, we have shortlisted the best accommodation on the Everest trail.
Rooms in our luxury lodges have comfortable bedding, thicker mattresses, and better insulation to keep you warm at night. Unlike basic lodges, our luxury lodge rooms will have en-suite bathrooms, sometimes even with hot water. Many of these luxury lodges have heating systems or provide warm blankets for cold nights in high-altitude areas.
Furthermore, you will have access to hygienic, energizing, and well-prepared meals, with international and local cuisines prepared by skilled chefs. Most dishes will have locally sourced ingredients - fresh vegetables, herbs, Himalayan potatoes, apples, and more. After all, a warm Thukpa soup or Sherpa stew after a long trekking day is all you need to feel at home away from home.
From your room window or balcony, you will also be treated to stunning views of the surrounding mountains like Everest, Lhotse, and other peaks on your Luxury Trek to Everest Base Camp.
Private and Personalised Guide on Luxury Everest Base Camp Treks
In the Everest Base Camp Luxury Lodge Trek, Sublime Trails will assign you a licensed private trekking guide with years of experience in the Everest region.
If you are in a personal group, your private guide will help you customize everything from when to reach a destination to extending your trip with detours in the beautiful Khumbu region. They will ensure you get the Best Accommodation on Everest Base Camp Trek.
Additionally, your Everest Base Camp Trek Private Guide will attend to all your needs in the Himalayan region. We train our guides to be flexible and willing to modify the best course of action that the trekker deserves. This way, we ensure that each trekking trip is personalized to the trekker’s needs and offers a unique experience.
What does this mean? On the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return, your private guide will listen to your needs regarding trekking pace, culinary preferences, and side quests you’d like to do during rest/acclimatization days.
Unlike shared guides who only follow a standard schedule and a to-do checklist, private guides are a lot more approachable and will accompany you throughout the trek. With our private Everest Luxury guides, you can ask more questions, get more help, and have more fun.
Furthermore, your personalized and private EBC Luxury Trek Guide will carefully note your physical and mental state throughout the trek. They will check your overall adaptation with a pulse oximeter and heart rate monitor. In case of emergency, you can rest assured that your guide is trained well in all essential evacuation and crisis management procedures.
Fly into Lukla by Helicopter to Escape from a Plane Flight
In contrast to the classic EBC Trekking itinerary, you do not have to board a mountain plane for the journey between Kathmandu and Lukla. Instead, you can take a comfortable, spacious helicopter flight to and from Lukla.
This comes with many advantages. First, planes flying to Lukla get cramped during the peak trekking and climbing seasons. You will also have to expect sudden flight delays for maintenance or weather-related issues. The planes are small in size. Although this makes them efficient at high altitudes, you will have to compromise on legroom.
The helicopter flight, on the other hand, seats only a handful of passengers in a single trip, and you will most likely get a window seat for yourself with an amazing view of the Himalayan range.
Second, mountain flights to Lukla are rarely operated from Kathmandu during peak seasons. To manage runway crowding, the government directs mountain flights to the Ramechhap Airport. To get to Ramechhap Airport, you will have to wake up early from your hotel in Kathmandu and get on a 5-hour journey by road.
And even if you manage to see the positive side of this ride at the beginning of your trip, it won’t get any more fun when you return from Lukla. On the other hand, on your Ultimate Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek, your helicopter will shuttle you directly from Kathmandu to Lukla and back with no worries of a tiring road trip, flight delays, or limited legroom.
Furthermore, in our experience, helicopter flight operators are more agreeable and flexible when it comes to the weight limit of your gear and belongings.
Helicopter Return from Gorakshep to Kathmandu to Avoid the Same Way Walk Back to Lukla
Here’s how the standard itinerary goes: you plant your flag in Everest Base Camp, witness a surreal view from KalaPatthar, and celebrate your achievement. One item crossed from your lifetime bucket list. What now? More days of backtracking down the Everest trail.
Meanwhile, the Everest Base Camp Trek with Both Way Helicopter lets you conclude your trek right at the climax of your journey. After reaching the Everest Base Camp and watching the sunrise from Kalapatthar in the morning, a helicopter will pick you up right from Gorakshep where you have your backpack.
This is especially helpful for people who want to experience the classic Everest trail itinerary but are short on time. You follow the standard schedule till EBC and Kala Patthar, but save half the time with a quick helicopter return.
The chopper will shuttle you to Lukla and then to Kathmandu, all on the same day! With this, you can avoid the downward trek from Gorakshep to Lukla on the same trail. This saves you multiple days, saves your knees, and adds helicopter views to your overall trip experience.
Additionally, the direct helicopter return takes you straight from the modest teahouse in Gorakshep to the 5-star Mariott Hotel in Kathmandu. Imagine flying back from one of the most rugged places on earth and relaxing at a 5-star establishment, with a jacuzzi, spa, bar, multicuisine menu, or a casino - you name it.
5-Star Luxury Accommodation in Kathmandu Pre-Trek and Post-Trek
Apart from the Best Accommodation on the Everest Base Camp Trek, When you are in Kathmandu before and after the trek, we will host you at 5-star luxury accommodation which is the Kathmandu Marriott Hotel. This way, you can start your trek feeling refreshed and end it with a luxurious retreat to unwind.
Trekking in Nepal’s Everest region is a challenging adventure, but your stay in the nation’s capital does not have to be. This luxury accommodation allows you to rest and rejuvenate before and after your journey to the Khumbu region. Elegant rooms, exceptional service, and world-class amenities - The Kathmandu Marriott Hotel has it all.
From indulging in gourmet cuisine and hot saunas to relaxing with a drink on the rooftop pool, The Kathmandu Marriott offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience.
Best of the Best Way to Trek to Everest Base Camp for Everyone
The Ultimate Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek package is getting more popular every season. Trekkers are starting to realize that while the Everest region is a rugged wonderland that demands sacrifices, the overall experience does not have to be miserable.
The luxurious Everest trekking plan includes highly experienced personalized guides, a well-planned itinerary, luxury lodges, and a helicopter shuttle to and from the Everest region. This makes the trip suitable for people from all walks of life, even if they would otherwise not be able to make the EBC Trek.
The luxurious EBC plan opens the Everest adventure to people who would otherwise struggle with the cold and the region's ruggedness. The helicopter return also eliminates the risks of knee issues on the downward trek.
Additionally, the luxury Sublime Trails Everest arrangement has made the Everest trip family-friendly. Now, you can do the trek with a less-athletic partner, spouse, parents, or children.
With the EBC Luxury Trek itinerary, we have taken children as young as 10 to seniors well past their retirement age to the Everest Base Camp. All in all, this trek has expanded the horizon of what adventure lovers previously considered impossible.
Electric Blanket Provided in All Accommodations on This Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek
All luxury lodges on the EBC Luxury Trek provide electric blankets to trekkers for their night stay.
Even during the otherwise favorable spring season, nighttime temperatures at resting stops on the Everest trail get cold at night, from 5 degrees to -15 degrees Celsius. An insulated room and an electric blanket are just the right necessities to shield you from the extreme cold outside.
Furthermore, your private guide will ensure you will get hot shower facilities everywhere. A hot shower at the end of a hard trekking day cures half of the fatigue and soreness so you can look forward enthusiastically to another day of adventure.
