VIP Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek

What is the VIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek?

We have come up with the VIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek concept to provide a private and exclusive trek service for this famous trek. The trip includes trekking to the base of the tallest mountain on Earth, Mt. Everest.

The catch is that you will spend nights in the finest high-end lodges and have the most delicious meals during the trek. Not only that, but you will also stay at the Marriott Hotel (a 5-star hotel) in Kathmandu and trek with a very experienced and professional mountain guide.

In addition to that, you will take helicopter flights in and out of the Everest region. We have designed the VIP Everest Base Camp itinerary for a short and successful trip.

It has two acclimatization days, which is good enough to adjust to the high altitude environments and avoid altitude sickness. We work closely with our helicopter flight operators and rescue team.

In case of any change in weather or an emergency, we will immediately retrieve you from the mountain and bring you back to Kathmandu. Travel insurance, including helicopter evacuation, is a must for anyone planning to trek to the Everest Base Camp with us.

If we have to talk on a deeper level, then the VIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek is not just about witnessing stunning Himalayan mountains or reaching the lap of the highest mountain in the world.

It is about the journey and the unparalleled experience that only a few privileged get to experience. We do not often hear about mountains and luxury together, but our VIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek package defies this image and brings out the hidden opulence of the mountains in Nepal.

Imagine spending the daytime challenging yourself and pushing your limits while the nights and mornings comfort you with sumptuous amenities such as a relaxing mattress, an en-suite washroom, hot showers, on-demand beverages, and a sleek space to socialize with fellow trekkers.

Adventure with comfort, privacy, and opulence is what we strive to provide during the VIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek!

Why the VIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek might not be for you?

High cost: Compared to the standard Everest Base Camp trek package, a luxury EBC trek package is way more expensive. For budget travelers, this package may not be the right choice.

You do not care about premium accommodation and services: One of the main highlights of the VVIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek is premium accommodation and services. If you are not particularly interested in luxury accommodation and amenities, then this trek is not a good fit for you.

You want to experience an authentic mountain lifestyle: If you want to experience traditional teahouse/lodge nightstays and wish to have a close glimpse of the locals' lifestyle, the VVIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek is not an ideal choice for you.

Same Views, Same Trails: If you have a mindset of the same views and same trails, and why you pay a high price for that, then the VIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek is not for you.

Budget traveler: You enjoy traveling on a budget and experiencing little local things.

You love to upgrade comfort as per your mood: You are not interested in luxury accommodation during the trek, but do not mind upgrading accommodation in some villages as per your wish.

Do you need prior trekking experience to do the luxury Everest Base Camp trek?

A prior trekking experience is not required for the luxury Everest Base Camp trek. In fact, the comfort and luxury EBC trek package offers make this trek much more achievable.

Beginner trekkers, students, parents with their kids, elderly trekkers, friends, couples, colleagues, everyone can finish the luxury EBC trek without any issue.

However, there are a few things to consider before joining the Everest Base Camp luxury trek. We have mentioned them below:

Physical fitness:

Trekking to Everest Base Camp is easier said than done. It requires a lot of effort, and you have to be physically fit for that. Imagine walking 6 hours a day on uphill, rugged terrain without good fitness.

The journey will become only challenging and hectic for you. Now, with good stamina and strength, you can enjoy the trek much more, and physically it will be less burdensome.

So, even if you are not a very physically active individual, we recommend exercising and waking regularly for a few weeks before the trek starts.

Trek awareness:

Learn about the Everest Base Camp trek. What is it like doing this remote trek? How does it feel walking at high altitude? How are the locals?

Even though a luxury trek offers much better accommodation and meal services, there are still things like a poor network that you have to deal with.

Who is your trekking guide and porter? What if you get sick while trekking, and how will the varying climate affect you?

The more you learn about the trek, the better you will be prepared mentally. And this makes a huge difference to the overall trek experience.

High altitude challenges:

Even with the top-notch facilities, you can have a hard time during the Everest Base Camp trek due to the high altitude. High altitude effects are not the same for everyone.

Some trekkers, even without any previous high altitude exposure, do just fine when exposed to high altitude during the EBC trek. However, some trekkers do not.

Note that with the increase in elevation, oxygen level and air pressure decrease. It may lead to altitude sickness if you are not acclimatized, or you may get exhausted sooner than usual.

So, what can you do to bypass the high altitude challenges during the EBC trek?

Have acclimatization days. Our VIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek itinerary already has two acclimatization days. Likewise, hike slowly, keep yourself hydrated, maintain a steady pace, and prepare for all kinds of climates.

What are the main attractions while trekking to Everest Base Camp in a luxury style?

The luxury Everest Base Camp trek is an attraction in itself. The experience it offers is unlike anything you will come across.

For your information, we have shared some of the top attractions or things you will experience on this once-in-a-lifetime trek in Nepal below:

One full day in Kathmandu for sightseeing and shopping

Usually, the EBC trek itinerary does not have a full day in Kathmandu. So, most trekkers do not get a chance to explore this beautiful city of temples.

However, we believe Kathmandu is a big part of the Everest Base Camp trek, and exploring this city will make your trip even more remarkable.

So, we have kept one full day in Kathmandu for sightseeing and shopping after your return from trekking. We can arrange a guided sightseeing of historical sites and local markets if you wish.

Or you can stroll on your own. Likewise, you will also have ample time to do shopping beyond the typical products in Thamel.

We have many amazing brands in Nepal, and most of them have outlets spread all over Kathmandu. Whether you are into clothes, jewelry, home decor, art, etc, you will have many options to explore and purchase.

The helicopter flights at the start and end of the trek

Helicopter flights make traveling in and out of the Everest region comfortable and convenient.

Additionally, you will also get to witness the aerial view of the mountains and the trail and villages you used while hiking to the Everest Base Camp.

Then it also carries the touch of luxury and privacy, which only a handful of travelers get to experience. Let's say it adds more edge to the overall trip.

Adventurous trail through Sagarmatha National Park

The Everest Base Camp trek is an adventurous journey. The trail goes through the Sagarmatha National Park, which is home to a variety of flora and fauna, several Nepali indigenous groups, mountains, glaciers, and all the natural wonders in the Everest region.

As you start walking from Lukla, you will hike through lush rhododendron hills, crossing rivers and streams on the way. The trail follows steep hillsides and passes by small settlements.

With the rise in elevation, the terrain changes. It becomes much steeper and rockier. You will walk through the lateral moraine of Khumbu Glacier just before reaching Everest Base Camp.

Thrilling suspension bridges, gushing rivers, and glacier streams along the trail

Between Lukla and Namche Bazaar, you will cross numerous suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River. The longest one is the Tenzing Hillary Suspension Bridge.

Imagine walking on swinging iron bridges high above deep gorges and gushing rivers. It will be quite thrilling.

Sleek and elegant accommodations with delicious meals

The best thing about the VVIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek is the luxury lodges. After a long day of exhausting walks, you will be treated to luxurious amenities and delicious meals.

You will have a soft mattress and a hot shower available to relax. Enjoy the evenings with your groups, enjoying excellent service.

Get to know the Sherpas and their cultural heritage closely

Sherpas are the natives of the Everest region. They are famous for their endurance, strength, and climbing skills. The VVIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek gives you a close glimpse of their life that goes beyond their resilience and climbing skills.

Breathtaking landscapes and mountain views

The landscapes and mountain views are incredible during the Everest Base Camp trek. From the very first day of the trek, you will see beautiful scenery.

Likewise, you will also get to see many gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. The change in elevation will present diverse landscapes, which will keep you amused.

Amazing trekking community and support

One of the best things about trekking in Nepal is the amazing trekking community. The locals are very welcoming, friendly, and supportive.

Even the fellow trekkers will not hesitate to say hello and wish you good luck. It is wonderful to see how everyone leaves behind their differences while hiking to EBC.

A region that people from around the world travel to, a place where you will experience the peak of humanity

Everest Base Camp trek is a trip that people from all around the world strive to do at least once in their lifetime. And you will see all age groups and literally people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, and countries on this trek.

The Everest region is even known as the melting pot of humans from all around the world. And most importantly, all of them are kind.

Ancient monastery visit along the trail

Trekking to Mt. Everest Base Camp may sound more like an adventurous journey, and it is. But it also includes a fair share of cultural encounters. For instance, you will meet with several Nepali mountain communities and have a glimpse of their traditions.

Likewise, you will see many stupas, colorful prayer flags, prayer wheels, and chortens all over the trail. Tengboche and Pangboche monasteries are two major monasteries you will visit during the VVIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek.

A visit to these monasteries will show you the locals' beliefs, roots, and perseverance towards their faith in this remote part of the world.

Exciting side hikes for acclimatization

We have two acclimatization days in our VIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek itinerary. So, you will go on two side hikes. We go on a side hike to a higher elevation and return to the same village to spend the night.

It helps in acclimatization. You will take a side hike from Namche Bazaar to the Hotel Everest View and from Dingboche village to Nagarjuna Hill.

Stand at the base of the tallest mountain on Earth

Reaching the Everest Base Camp is definitely the main goal of this trek. If you think you know how enormous and tall Mt. Everest is, then you don't.

Unless you don't see it in front of you, you cannot tell how big the tallest mountain on Earth is. And standing at its base is definitely one of the finest feelings you will ever experience.

A gorgeous sunrise from Kala Patthar

Kala Patthar is the final destination on the EBC trek. It is a viewpoint. As Mt. Everest's summit is not visible from its base camp, the trekkers go on the last ascent to Kala Patthar.

Located 5,545 meters above sea level, Kala Patthar offers an outstanding view of Mt. Everest as well as an incredible sunrise. You will literally see a sea of mountains in front of you from here.

Cost of luxury Everest Base Camp trek

The luxury Everest Base Camp trek does not cost tens of thousands of dollars. However, this trek is definitely a bit more expensive than the standard EBC trek.

Our luxury Everest Base Camp trek cost starts at USD 15,949 per person. You can get up to USD 700 off per head if you are in a group of 7 or more trekkers.

Kindly check out the luxury Everest Base Camp package for more information. If you have any specific requirements, feel free to contact us. We will quote you the package price as per your requirements.

Conclusion

Our VIP Everest Base Camp luxury trek aims to provide the most exclusive and comfortable/lavish service during this trip. We go all out during this trek. There will be no compromise in service, safety, and privacy.

You do not necessarily have to be uncomfortable and adjust to bare minimum services just because you are trekking in the Himalayas. If better service is available and your budget allows, why not go for it?

And a luxury Everest Base Camp trek doesn't nullify the efforts you have put in. At the end of the day, you will be following the same trail, walking the same hours, and experiencing the same exhaustion and high altitude.
