Solo Everest Base Camp Trek Overview

Solo Everest Base Camp trek can be an ideal way to rev up your holiday in the sunshine. Everest Base Camp Solo trekking is a classic journey through scenic glens with stunning landscapes that sets the heartbeats on overdrive.

We do all the paperwork that includes your trek permits and provide you with a highly experienced trek crew that leaves you free to take in the fabulous sights as you hike up above the timberline, the well-marked trails take you up to the bustling happening mountain city of Namche – the capital of the world-famous Khumbu we all know as the Everest region of Nepal’s majestic Himalayas.

Namche is rightfully known as the Nevada or sin city of Nepal’s trailblazing Himalayas. You will find some perks hereabouts above 3500m hardly available in the ancient capital city of Nepal – Kathmandu. You get 2 days to hang around in Namche to acclimatize so you get used to the thin air you experience as the elevations go higher above the tree lines.

Meeting the warm local Sherpas on the way in their colorful villages and some interactions with this legendary community gives you deep insights into the culture and what it’s like with communities living at such heights, it puts so much spice into your journey, something you’ll love for a tough trip of this kind, this is a classic trip of enormous proportions which is likely to set your emotions fluttering as the mountain winds blow above you, we hike into the famous tranquil Tengboche monastery loaded with history and enjoy some hot butter tea with the monks as they gently tell you their mystical stories of spiritual bliss as Mt. Everest stares at you from this lovely monastery which has some of the best vantage points of the highest peaks in the world, stunning view areas of epic fame worldwide for their box office views, not found anywhere else in Nepal’s spectacular Himalayas.

Acclimatization is most important before proceeding to a higher elevation. It is therefore recommended that you take a short day hike to Thame, Khunde, Khumjung, or up to Everest view hotel which provides a very close-up view of Mt Everest, or relax and explore the Sherpa culture of Namche.

Our trek lumbers on to the exciting village of Luboche and Gorakshep as we begin to feel the effects of altitude over 5000m, but the sights warm our cold bodies as we clamber on to culminate at the famous Everest Base Camp, a point that has seen world-renowned alpine legends who began their famous summits right from this point before we reach Kalapathar at 5545m where sights of the world’s most famous peaks leave us gasping for breath, we soon find it as we hike down to Lukla for our flight back to Kathmandu and a warm soft luxury bed to reminisce on a successful adventure journey that you could narrate to the future generations on a cold winter evening as you relax by the fireside in the warm confines of home sweet home. Alpine Eco Trek – A skilled operator on this front, will escort you safely all through this arduous venture.

We organize Solo Everest Base Camp Trek which is one of the most favorable trekking trips in our company for those people traveling solo. Thinking to do EBC trekking Solo?

Trip Reviews

We take great pride in taking care of our guests

  • December 26, 2022

A journey filled with gratitude, awareness and excitement

From the moment my wife and I met with our lead guide, Ram Gopal, we felt absolute connection and excitement. Ram Gopal and the support team shared so many invaluable lessons that came from the Nepalese people and land. I felt cared for when I became ill (sinus infection) at about 4900m and with that assistance, I felt strong enough physically and mentally when the morning came to hike to the top of Kala Patthar. The entire trip enriched my life dramatically and I greatly look forward to returning to Nepal with Alpine Eco Trek.
