We allow you access to achieve your goal in real life for a small amount of money through Everest Base Camp Budget Trekking, which enables trekkers to enter Mt. Everest Base Camp on a small budget and make the journey cheaper.

Our special Budget Everest Base Camp Trek is a cost-effective way to see the varied landscapes of the Everest Khumbu Region as well as gorgeous majestic mountain views, glacier moraines, rich biodiversity, spectacular and tranquil landscapes, charming Sherpa villages with their unique culture and way of life, lush green Rhododendron, pine and birch woodlands in the lower area and dwarf and shrubs vegetation with the altitude increment. 

You will pass through communities nestled beneath massive glaciers in this epic 12-day economic trip. The region is where old civilization collides with incredible natural beauty to create an aura of unique splendor in the planet's farthest reaches.

Furthermore, the breathtaking journey up to Kala Patthar (5,550 m), the trek's highest point, will capture your curiosity. The spectacular view is surrounded by the snowy walls of Mount Pumori, Ama Dablam, Everest, Nuptse, and Lhotse.

In general, this Everest Base Camp Inexpensive Trip introduces Nepal's natural beauty and cultural heritage. If you have Everest Base Camp Trek on your bucket list and want a spectacular journey but don't want to spend a lot of money on extras, this is a fantastic option.

EBC Trek Difficulty

Because the Everest Base Camp Trek is essentially a long stroll at altitude, it does not require any technical training or mountaineering skills. Despite the fact that the trek is non-technical and accessible to anyone with some basic fitness, there are a few things to consider before embarking on the Everest Base Camp Budget Trek.

Length: Since you'll only be walking for 9 of the 12 days, you'll be traveling roughly 15 kilometers every day. However, the 15 kilometers each day will not be on a flat paved path. Instead, you'll be trekking over rocky and sometimes icy terrain, which will certainly slow you down.

Altitude: The most difficult component of the journey is altitude. Therefore, we recommend consulting your doctor to confirm that you are on this journey. 

While you don't need to hire a personal trainer or quit your day job to get in shape for the trek, some gym time and longer treks will help you prepare for the mountainous climb up to Everest Base Camp.

Best time for Everest Base Camp Budget Trek

The Everest region is accessible all year, but the best for Everest Base Camp Budget Trek is in the spring and autumn. The weather is pleasant throughout the spring months (March to May), there are plenty of daylight hours, and you may view beautiful wildflowers and rhododendrons.

Trekkers who want to see the Himalayas in their best condition should go hiking in the autumn (September to November) because there is less rain, the skies are clear and magnificent, and you get fantastic views of the near horizon. This is a very popular time to go hiking there. Naturally, you are free to do whatever traveling you choose over the remaining months if wanted.

Nonetheless, the off-seasons i.e. monsoon and winter are a fantastic opportunity to get a more distinctive Everest Base Camp experience. The sky frequently clears up after you ascend above Namche Bazaar, even during the rain. During the winter, there will be relatively few people on the trail, and the villages and valleys will be lightly dusted with snow.

EBC Trek Permits and Entrance

The following permits are required and are managed by Himalayan Trekkers (included in the price).

  • Sagarmatha(Everest) National Park Entry Permit: USD 30.00 for Foreign Travelers 

  • Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit: 30 USD for Foreign Trekkers

  • TIMS  CARD USD 10.00 for Foreigner Trekkers

Affordable EBC Trek for Students – Unreal Experience!

We were a group of 5 university students from Delhi looking for an affordable way to do the Everest Base Camp trek, and Himalayan Trekkers absolutely delivered.

The budget option didn’t feel “cheap” at all. The lodges were clean, the food filling, and the views just… beyond words.

Our guide Sushant was like a mountain guru and also super chill. Thanks to Raj for coordinating everything so efficiently.

We’ll definitely come back for Langtang next time!

Best Budget Trek Option for College Students

As a student on a gap year, I was nervous about costs. I couldn’t believe how affordable the EBC trek was with Himalayan Trekkers and how well organized it all was.

Nishan, my guide, was patient and motivating, especially during those tough final days.

I met other solo travelers along the way, and the social vibe in the teahouses was great. If you’re a student looking to tick Everest off your bucket list, this is the company.

Good for Budget Travelers, Better Than Expected!

I joined this trek on a tight backpacker’s budget and honestly wasn’t expecting much but I was surprised! Great value for the price.

Basic accommodation, yes, but clean and comfortable. Food was surprisingly good.

Karma, my guide, was a legend, funny, informative, and motivating on the tough climbs.

Loved the group vibe. Would recommend to anyone wanting to do EBC without blowing all their savings.

Perfect Balance of Budget & Adventure!

I was looking for a company that would keep costs low without compromising safety and Himalayan Trekkers delivered. My guide, Nima, was a gem.

He treated me like a younger sister and kept an eye out for signs of AMS.

The group had fellow Indians, a few Europeans, and Americans, so it was great socially too. The trek is hard, but with the right people, it becomes a memory for life. Thanks to Raj and the HT team!

Incredible Trek on a Student Budget

I joined a group departure with Himalayan Trekkers during my semester break. The price was what drew me in, but the professionalism kept me impressed.

Our porter-guide Nishan was young, energetic, and always smiling even on the toughest days. The Everest views at Kalapatthar made every step worth it.

Lodges were decent and food filling. This is definitely the best-value trek in Nepal!

Student Budget, Million Dollar Views!

We were 3 college friends from Mumbai dreaming about EBC since first year, and Himalayan Trekkers made it happen within our budget.

We had Lhakpa as a guide and he was so motivating, he even carried our bags when my friend had a hard time.

Raj (the owner) met us before the trek, which made it feel very personal. We cried happy tears at Base Camp. Thank you Himalayan Trekkers!

Life-Changing EBC Trek on a Budget!

I did the budget EBC trek in May, and it was one of the best decisions of my life.

Himalayan Trekkers took care of everything from permits to pickups. I was amazed at how well-managed it was despite the low cost.

Nishan was my porter-guide and we became like brothers during the trek. Watching the sun rise over Everest from Kalapatthar is something I’ll never forget.

HIGHLY recommended for young Indian trekkers looking for value and safety.

Everest Base Camp Trek on a budget

We were a group of friends looking to do the Everest Base Camp Trek on a budget, and we came across Himalayan Trekkers while searching on Google. Their budget package caught our eye, so I reached out to them on WhatsApp to confirm if the price listed was accurate and to get more details. Not only was the information clear and trustworthy, but their overall service exceeded our expectations.

 

Trekking with the Himalayan Trekkers team was an amazing experience, especially thanks to our guide, Geli. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about our well-being throughout the journey. A big thank you to him for helping us turn our EBC dream into reality and for the unforgettable memories we made along the way.

I highly recommend Himalayan Trekkers’ budget version of the Everest Base Camp Trek

I highly recommend Himalayan Trekkers’ budget version of the Everest Base Camp Trek to anyone who doesn’t want to spend a fortune but still wants a well-organized and memorable experience. One thing I really appreciated about this package was the flexibility. I could choose my meals based on my own preferences and budget, which gave me a sense of freedom along the way.

 

While the standard budget package didn’t include a porter, I requested one for an additional cost since I didn’t feel confident carrying my own load, and I’m so glad I did. Both my guide, Babu, and my Sherpa, Dil, were incredibly supportive and kind throughout the trek.

 

I chose to trek privately instead of joining a group, as I prefer smaller, quieter settings. But for those who like company, there’s also a group joining option available. Everest Base Camp had been on my bucket list for a long time, and this experience did not disappoint. Everything was well-managed, and the team was professional, friendly, and helpful every step of the way.

Very honest service from Himalayan Trekkers trekking agency

Very honest service from this trekking agency! My girlfriend and I felt we were in the best hands throughout the entire Everest Base Camp trek. Everything went smoothly and exactly as planned.

 

The only hiccup we encountered was the unpredictable mountain weather on our return. We got stuck in Lukla for an extra day, and it didn’t seem to be improving the following day as well. We were genuinely worried about missing our international flight. Thankfully, Raj quickly found a solution and arranged a shared helicopter to get us back to Kathmandu in time. It was a huge relief.

 

We’re extremely happy with the overall service and support from the Himalayan Trekkers team. We’ll definitely book with them again the next time we visit Nepal!

We would like to give a special shout-out to our amazing guide, Geli. If you’re planning to trek to Everest Base Camp, please ask for Geli to be by your side! He was knowledgeable, caring, and always one step ahead. Truly the best guide we could have asked for.

 

Also, we can’t thank Raj enough for everything he did before, during, and after our trek. Without a doubt, this is the best trekking company to go with in the entire Himalayas!

I highly recommend Himalayan Trekkers

I highly recommend Himalayan Trekkers to anyone looking for a well-organized and unforgettable adventure in the Himalayas — even on a low budget. I reached out to Raj at Himalayan Trekkers based on others’ recommendations, and I’m so glad I did.

 

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I signed up for the budget version of the Everest Base Camp trek. I just hoped for clean accommodation and a trustworthy guide. But the experience far exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, Raj was attentive and responsive. Throughout the trek, both he and the guide consistently checked in to make sure everything was going well.

 

The accommodation was actually a bit nicer than I had imagined for a budget package, and our guide’s experience and care really stood out. I had assumed budget trekkers might be treated as second-tier clients, but I was wrong. I truly felt like every traveller was treated equally and with genuine respect.

 

It turned out to be one of the best trips I’ve ever had. Thank you, Himalayan Trekkers!

Our trip to Everest Base Camp was expertly organized by Himalayan Trekkers

Our trip to Everest Base Camp was expertly organized by Himalayan Trekkers, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived at the airport to the very end of the program, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The entire journey was smooth and well-organized.

 

One of the highlights was how flexible and responsive the team was. We asked for a one-day extension so we could spend more time in Tengboche, even though our return flights had already been booked. To our surprise, they managed to rearrange everything, extending the trek and rescheduling the flight without any hassle.

 

We can’t recommend Himalayan Trekkers Pvt. Ltd. highly enough. They weren’t just our guides,  they felt like a dedicated, professional team who truly cared about our experience on the mountain.

We absolutely loved our time in the Himalayas, and we can’t wait to go back!

While researching trekking companies that offered budget-friendly trips, I came across Himalayan Trekkers

I recently completed a 12-day Everest Base Camp trek with my cousin, and I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Himalayan Trekkers.

 

While researching trekking companies that offered budget-friendly trips, I came across Himalayan Trekkers. From the start, their prompt and helpful communication stood out. I spent a lot of time discussing options with Raj, and eventually, we decided to go for the Everest Base Camp trek.

 

Upon arrival in Nepal, we were warmly welcomed at the airport and transferred smoothly to a hotel arranged by them.

 

During the trek, our guide Geli was nothing short of amazing — attentive, professional, and always looking out for us. When my cousin experienced mild symptoms of altitude sickness in Dingboche, Geli was incredibly caring: checking in regularly, offering garlic soup and warm water, and making sure he stayed warm through the night. Thankfully, my cousin felt much better by the next morning.

 

Raj also stayed in touch throughout the trek, checking in from Kathmandu to ensure everything was going well.

 

With the support of Geli, our wonderful porter Ngima, and Raj from the management team, we successfully reached Everest Base Camp at 5,364 meters.

 

Himalayan Trekkers have truly earned five stars from us. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy, affordable, and heartfelt Himalayan adventure.

offered a great experience at an affordable price

As someone who travels frequently, budget has always been a major factor for me. So when planning my Everest Base Camp trek, I was specifically looking for an agency that could offer a great experience at an affordable price. That’s when I came across Himalayan Trekkers through a video on YouTube. At first, I was hesitant to reach out — but I’m so glad I did.

 

They organized a budget-friendly EBC trek for me, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Considering the cost, the quality of the accommodation, the helpful guide, daily breakfasts, and overall service far exceeded my expectations. It was a great value for money, and I genuinely felt well taken care of throughout the journey.

As a solo traveller looking for a budget-friendly Everest Base Camp trek, I wanted to join a group of like-minded people, and I’m so glad I chose to go with Himalayan Trekkers. I joined one of their fixed departures and ended up meeting some truly amazing people from around the world.

 

The journey wasn’t just about reaching Base Camp — it became a life lesson. I learned so much about myself, about others, and about the mountains. Despite facing a few challenges with the weather, the overall experience was incredible.

As budget travelers, we were worried about the cost of unexpected changes

Our Everest Base Camp trek didn’t start off as planned. Bad weather kept all planes grounded, and we spent hours at the airport with no clear update. As budget travelers, we were worried about the cost of unexpected changes. But Himalayan Trekkers handled the situation so well and arranged a shared helicopter flight to Lukla for us without a huge extra cost. That really saved our trip!

 

Although the first day was frustrating, the weather turned in our favor after that, and we ended up with some of the best views imaginable. The trek itself was challenging but incredibly rewarding. The route, the mountains, the people — everything was unforgettable.

 

What truly amazed us was how affordable the entire experience was. We never thought we could do such an iconic trek without breaking the bank, but Himalayan Trekkers made it happen with great service, smooth organization, and constant support.

 

Truly one of the best adventures we’ve ever had.
