Escape the ordinary and dive deep into the Khumbu Valley's magic with the Everest Comfort Trek. This leisurely adventure caters to travellers who thirst for exploration and a relaxed pace. Witness charming villages, and breathtaking Himalayan giants like Everest, and soak in the serenity of the mountains – all on your terms.
Our carefully designed treks prioritize acclimatization, featuring a comfortable pace and strategically placed stops. If you're physically fit and have experience with multi-day treks, the Everest Comfort Lodge Trek is an excellent choice!
The trails begin wide but narrow into rocky paths as you gain altitude. While the overall ascent is gradual, there are a few steeper sections, particularly to Namche, Tengboche, and Kalapatthar. Expect to walk approximately 5 to 7 hours per day on average. You'll only need to carry a daypack, as porters will handle the rest of your gear. Most nights will be spent in comfortable mountain lodges with clean rooms, except in Lobuche and Gorakshep.
The best time to trek to Everest Comfort Trek is during the spring (March-May) or autumn (September-November) seasons. These periods offer stable weather, clear skies, and minimal rainfall, providing optimal conditions for trekking. However, remember that these are peak seasons, so expect more crowds and higher prices.
This journey is more than just a trek; it's a personal adventure. We can customize the itinerary to fit your timeframe, interests, and preferences. Create your perfect Everest experience with the Everest Comfort Trek.

Luxury Mountain Lodge: The Everest Comfort Lodge Trek offers top-tier lodge accommodations featuring twin beds, comfortable mattresses, and blankets. Most rooms include charging ports and attached bathrooms, except in Lobuche and Gorakshep villages. Many lodges also have dining halls heated with yak dung and an on-site restaurant. For added warmth, we recommend bringing your own sleeping bag and liner. Meals are typically provided at the lodge where you stay. Rooms are usually shared with one other person, but you can request separate arrangements, with single rooms available for an additional fee.
Battery Charging: After Namche Bazaar, charging stations are typically located in the lodge's dining area, with fees ranging from USD 1-3 per hour, depending on the device. Charging power banks usually incur a higher fee. Many lodges rely on solar panels for power, which can be unreliable during bad weather. To ensure you have enough power for multiple charges, it's recommended to bring a portable battery charger with a capacity of 15,000-20,000mAh.
Cellular Network: Consider an international calling plan from your home provider for reliable service. If you prefer a Nepali SIM card, Nepal Telecom (NTC) generally offers better coverage in remote areas compared to Ncell, though reception may still be limited in some places. SIM cards cost $1-2 and can be purchased in Kathmandu. You'll need to provide a passport copy and a passport-sized photo for their records. A 10GB data pack, costing $5-10, should be sufficient for 1-2 weeks, depending on your data usage.
Wi-Fi: After Namche Bazaar, you can purchase Wi-Fi at teahouses each night for $5-10. They typically offer plans with unlimited access for 12 or 24 hours. However, internet speeds can be slow and unreliable in remote areas.
Hot Showers: After Namche Bazaar, hot showers (solar or gas) are available for a fee of $4-7 per shower. Above 4,000 meters, only bucket showers are provided.
Toilets: Until Dingboche, we provide rooms with attached toilets. However, in Lobuche and Gorakshep, only basic mountain lodges are available, so you'll need to use shared toilets. These are typically common facilities, with both Western and squat-style options. Attached toilets are rare at higher elevations, and running water may not be available. Be sure to bring your toilet paper and soap.
Mountain Flights: Mountain flights operate exclusively in the mornings, offering a thrilling and picturesque experience. These flights use Twin Otter planes, which can accommodate approximately 18 passengers. Common carriers include Summit Air, Tara Air, and Sita Air.
Vehicle: We provide reserved private vehicles for all your transportation needs, including pick-ups and drop-offs according to the itinerary. The type of vehicle-whether a car, jeep, or will be chosen based on the number of passengers and the terrain.
Food: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in the price, except for desserts, giving you full flexibility to choose meals based on your appetite and preferences. The lodges offer a decent selection of food and drink options. For vegetarians, vegans, or those with dietary restrictions, please inform us at the time of booking so we can make appropriate arrangements.
Water: Carrying your own water bottle or hydration pack is mandatory. It’s recommended to have a bottle (1.5-2 litres) and a thermal flask (1 litre or smaller) during the trek. You can refill your bottle with boiled or bottled drinking water available at lunch spots and hotels. We strongly discourage buying plastic water bottles during the trek to minimize environmental impact.
Snacks: It's recommended to bring snacks like chocolates, dried fruits, and energy bars to enjoy during the trek.
Shops Along the Way: You'll encounter several well-stocked shops along the trails, especially in the lower elevations, where you can purchase water, snacks, and toiletries. There are also shops selling tea and beverages between lunch stops.
Our team consists of experienced and reliable tour leaders, guides, trek leaders, climbing leaders, and porters who are used to living in high altitudes.
We are committed to providing our clients with the best possible Himalayan experience. Our team is dedicated to your safety and enjoyment, and we will do everything we can to make your trek a success.
Additional Expenses: Beyond meals, potential expenses include drinks, laundry, tipping, and shopping. Please review the "Prices" section carefully to understand additional costs you may encounter during your trip.
Emergency Fund: While our trips are meticulously planned, unforeseen circumstances (like political unrest, strikes, bad weather, natural calamities, poor road conditions, airport closures, flight cancellations, etc.) can arise. For this reason, we recommend setting aside Rs. 25,000 as an emergency fund.
Currency: It's advisable to carry Nepali rupees for the trials, as most service providers transact in this currency.
ATMs and Credit Cards: Cash is the preferred payment method in most areas outside major cities. While some hotels and eateries in popular towns accept cards, reliability can be an issue. Card transactions may incur a 3-4% transaction fee. ATMs are limited in smaller towns, so carrying sufficient cash is recommended.
Tipping: Most hotels and eateries include a service charge with tips in their bills. You're encouraged to tip the trekking crew if you're satisfied with their service. A suggested guideline is USD 12-15 per day for guides and USD 7-10 per day for porters. Feel free to tip more if you're particularly pleased. Tips can be given in Nepali rupees or US dollars. Typically, the group pools money together to tip guides and porters on the final day of the trek during dinner.
Cancellations and Refunds: In case of flight delays or cancellations due to bad weather or unforeseen circumstances, we'll reschedule at no extra cost. However, any additional expenses incurred due to changes (including transportation, accommodation, and food) will be the trekker's responsibility.
Altitude Sickness: We take altitude sickness seriously and design our itineraries for a gradual ascent, covering shorter distances at higher elevations. To acclimatize, we stay an extra night at the same location or similar altitude after significant elevation gains.
During the trek, we prioritize hydration, avoid alcohol, and conduct acclimatization hikes as needed. Our guide will monitor your vitals with an oximeter daily to assess your body's response to altitude changes. If you experience AMS symptoms or headaches, please inform your guide immediately. Mild headaches can often be managed with food, hydration, and rest. While we generally don't recommend Diamox (altitude sickness pills), you may consider taking them as a precaution if you're coming from sea level.
Trail Safety: Our guide carries a well-equipped first-aid kit at all times. Please review our equipment and medical checklist for better preparedness, as common issues like foot blisters and knee pain can be addressed with proper packing. If you have pre-existing health conditions, please inform us upon booking.
Keep your passport, flight tickets, phone, wallet, camera equipment, cash, and valuables in your daypack or waist belt. Avoid bringing expensive items like jewellery or large amounts of cash for security reasons.
Insurance: Obtaining travel insurance that covers emergency evacuation (including helicopter rescue) and medical expenses up to 5,500 meters (18,044 feet) above sea level is mandatory.
Drinking Water: Water safety is paramount. To avoid waterborne diseases, we recommend drinking only boiled water or using steriPEN, LifeStraw, or purification tablets during the trek.
Immunization: Recommended immunizations before trekking in Nepal include Hepatitis A, Typhoid fever, and chickenpox. While not strictly enforced, they are for your safety.
Emergency Contacts: In case of issues or emergencies, please contact the lead guide or any team member. They can assist with contacting nearby hospitals, transportation, ambulances, police offices, army checkpoints, and embassies, and facilitate rescue operations. We'll provide a list of relevant emergency contacts before your trip.
What to Pack: Kathmandu offers many gear shops where you can purchase or rent essential items. If you forget anything, Thamel is a convenient place to buy it before your trek. You can rent items like a sleeping bag for around USD 2-3 per day.
What Not to Carry: At the airport, items such as oxygen cylinders, drones, satellite phones (without permission), and sharp objects like knives and scissors may be confiscated.

The Everest Base Camp Comfort Trek with Community Trek and Team Ramesh was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for my family. We were fortunate to have Ramesh as our guide, an exceptional leader with a wealth of knowledge about the Himalayas. Not only did he navigate us through the challenging terrain with ease, but he also captured the breathtaking beauty of the journey with his expert photography skills. Above 4,000 meters, the altitude presented a real challenge, but thanks to Ramesh's well-planned program and the incredible support of the entire team, we made it to the base camp and back, filled with unforgettable memories. We highly recommend Ramesh and Team Community Trekk to anyone seeking an unforgettable Himalayan adventure!
