When Should You Embark on the Everest Base Camp Trekking Tour?

Although this destination is reachable throughout the entire year, spring and autumn are deemed to be the best seasons for climbing. For those who are planning to visit Khumbu region, it is required to get TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) cards.

Special Aspects of the Trip

It is worth mentioning that Mt Everest Base Camp trek tour doesn’t require sophisticated climbing techniques and considerable experience. In fact, it is a long-distance walk that can be taken by any persistent and physically fit person. With our help along the trail, be sure you will successfully reach the camp. We have already guided people with extra and insufficient weight, kids, and the aged so they can feel all the beauty of the mountain.

You should be ready to take a long walk throughout the Khumbu region. The expedition to the Base Camp means you have to get to the destination from Lukla on foot. Otherwise, you can use helicopter services if you wish.

Everest Base Camp trek is fraught with some difficulties you should be prepared for. After the arrival in Lukla, you will face the challenge of crossing the distance of 65 km (that is 130 km when traveling back). Plus, this area is famous for its uneven terrain and zigzag trails. Cross no less than 5 km a day to stick to the trip schedule.

While getting from Lukla (2,860m) to the camp (5,364m), trekkers may have effects of high altitude. To reach the destination successfully, move at an unhurried pace according to the acclimatization instructions and other rules set by our team.

There is another potential difficulty you may face during the Mount Everest Base Camp trek trip. You should realize that the region will not provide you with delicious food and first-class facilities. However, the expedition will enable you to enjoy Nepalese hospitality and natural beauty to the fullest.

With all trip difficulties in mind, Satori Adventures recommends you to maintain your physical fitness and take exercises regularly before choosing the Everest Base Camp trekking tour. Add cardio and weight-training programs to your routine to train your legs, shoulders, and back. Such activities as swimming and cycling are also of importance to get into shape. Try to walk on foot as often as possible until you can move 5 hours without rest. Besides, you should consume high-protein food to get the most out of its health benefits.

How to book holiday trip in Nepal?

Satori Adventures and Expedition aims at giving proper information to many travelers, trekkers and climbers who have some confusion regarding the booking process of the trip in Nepal. Satori Adventures therefore desires to provide a guideline for the first-time visitors or travelers so they can comfortably start the process to book the selected package legally. Before starting the booking process we always advise our trekkers, travelers and climbers to check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel in the company’s guidance. We ask them to be acquainted with the company they want book their holiday trip with. Is the company genuine and are authorized from Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar, Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Nepal Rastra Bank ‒Central Bank of Nepal (authorized for foreign currency), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the Department of Cottage & Small Industries. Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because there are some companies in Nepal that have been running a business without abiding by the rules and regulation of the Government. Some companies were once registered but by now their licenses have already been expired and yet they have providing the services illegally.

On many occasions, Government of Nepal and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners’ tour operators, NGOs and INGOs have been involved in directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It’s been found that many individuals, freelance guides and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information. Many file complaints to Nepal Government and Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action and advanced payment refund.Hardly any justice is given to the cheated clients.Thus, so as to prevent all these probable problems we request our travelers to check the company before booking any trip to the Himalayas.

5 stars for a fully amazing EBC trip with Satori

We had a great experience with Rishi and the entire Satori team trekking to Everest Base Camp. All arrangements up front, arrival in Nepal, accommodation in Kathmandu and during the trip, and any Adhoc support required, were at the highest standards!

A two outstanding highlights:

- Rishi, who was our main point of contact, arranged on short notice a return flight from Lukla to Kathmandu during one of the busiest seasons, something which is not easy to do

- Deepan and Tenzing, our guide and Porter during the trek, were excellent, very proficient in English, knowledgeable and fun to spend time with as we completed our trip

It was a lifetime experience for us, and we look forward to returning to Nepal and working with Satori for future treks and hikes.

EBC trekking and Island Peak trek

While we are planning to go to Nepal for Classic trip, at that time we found the Satori Adventures. They guided us everything, enough to say that everything was great from the first till the last day.while there was delayed flights to /from Lukla at that time Rishi and his staffs arrange the Helicopter or the accommodation and equipment on the way, up to safety en route. Well, Rishi and his Team made sure that all this went well, and nothing was left unattended. What was especially important for me is that Rishi loves mountains and is an experienced trekker himself, plus, all what he promised and all what we agreed prior to the trip, was provided and taken care of respectively. I can recommend Satori Adventures, and I will call Rishi again, next time I plan my trip to Himalaya

Excellent EBC Gokyo Chola trekking

This is the 3rd time visit Nepal for trekking and also the 3rd time I use the service from Rishi. He provide quick response for all inquiries and very well organised for our trip. Satori Adventure's team was extremely helpful and professional. The success of this trip for all my group (15people) came from their support.

The borrowed equipment (Down jacket, duffle bag and down sleeping bag) were cleaned and working well during trekking.

They provide unexpected service that we did not aware of it; Visiting the camp at EBC and offering to stay the the base camp are very impressive services that we did not expect before.

Highly recommend to all and look forward to using again on my next trip.

Wonderful service and unforgettable travel

Everest Basecamp via Gokyo Lakes and Cho-La Pass.

I actually traveled in May 2014 with Rishi's previous company, but he has since set up a new company alone, which I fully support. It was a truly unforgettable trip. Such wonderful people both in Kathmandu and in the mountains. My guide, Lakpa Sherpa, was extremely well qualified for my trek and had summited Everest twice, and almost a 3rd. My porter Subaz was also so lovely and extremely helpful.

My body didn't deal well with altitude towards the top but I was kept safe and the situation was managed extremely well, both by Lakpa at my side and by Rishi over the phone in Kathmandu. Rishi was excellent throughout the planning phase - helpful and quick responses to emails, and tailored a trek for what I wanted to see. The price was extremely reasonable too, and I much preferred paying a local Nepalese company to a UK (or otherwise) based company who are far more expensive and don't feed as much of the payment into the local community. It was one of my favourite trip ever - the people, culture and landscape were a true pleasure to whitness and be part of. My experience was so great that Rishi and I have remained friends since my visit 2 years ago.

My recent trek to Everest Base Camp was a success thanks to Satori Adventures and Expeditions. Dan Nash and Daniela Liscio (Eat For Sport) prepared me well for the trek and Rishi Bhandari made a logistical nightmare look like a piece of cake.

Great service

We did everest base camp trek in Nepal with Satori and had an amazing experience. Rishiji,the owner met us personally and took us for a pre as well as post trek dinner at an amazing Japanese restaurant. Bibek our guide and Sunam, our psuedo guide were super helpful throughout the trip and their energy levels were commendable even after a tough day trekking. Would definitely suggest Satori to anyone wanting to explore Nepal through its numerous treks.

"Everest Base Camp Trek - Walk with Kuntal & Migma, Organized, Planned & Executed by Mr. Rishi - Satori Adventures"

Nine of us embarked on this once in a life time trek with Satori Adventures Company. The trek was very well planned. The trek leader Kuntal Joisher & Mingma Tenzi Sherpa were the heroes of such a trip, difficult to find faults with them. Places chosen for stay ie. the Lodges & halts were excellent, so was the food available in those places. I would recommend this company because it takes care of planning leaving participants to enjoy hassle free treks. We were extremely impressed with Hiking professionalism with organising the trek and making the whole experience never to forget. Satori was also were very helpful in managing the last minute changes as well and getting us evacuted in chopper during snow storm. Guides and guiding companies are not all the same. The differences lie with the people and their attitudes. Being positive and passionate about their work and the success of their clients is what distinguishes one company from another. It was my personal experience, and what I heard from the others in my group, that sets Satori & Mr. Rishi apart. He made it his business to pay attention to the small things/arrangements that not only makes for a good trek trip, but can make the difference between success and failure. Most important, leaders were positive and fun to be with. Team work and team spirit was the priority with excellent team leaders who were always there to support us. Namaste !!!

perfect organisation of our EBC trek 2017 - we fully recommend them!

Satori took care of the organisation of our trip to Nepal from start to finish, so everything work perfectly, without any worries for us.

They picked us up from the airport, drove us to their hotel, which is nice and peaceful. They organized for us sightseeing trips, in which we were picked up directly from the hotel, guided around the sights, and brought back to the hotel. They also suggested some local restaurants were we could eat safe.

They drove us from the hotel to the airport, where our mountain guide was waiting for us. He took care or all the formalities in the airport, we didn't have to worry about anything, just enjoy. The trek on the mountain was amazing, and our mountain guide Sunil was really helpful, he took care of everything. He was especially helpful with the food, since we are vegan, and he made sure we always got vegan food. The porters were also helpful, carrying our big bags which allowed us to enjoy our trek more. Several times when we needed support on the trek both the mountain guide and some of the porters helped us out. When our trek was over, again the mountain guide took care of everything in the airport, and back in Kathmandu we were taken to the hotel. They took us to a lovely cultural dinner, a really nice place, with local music and dancing. A nice activity to round up our trip. In the end they drove us to the airport, and from there we went home.

So Satori took care of everything we ever needed on our trip in Nepal, and we just enjoyed our trip, having nothing to worry about.

They are serious and trust worthy.

We fullyrecommend them!

Satori Adventures: An Excellent Choice for EBC Trek

I cannot give enough praise for Satori Adventures.

Rishi is an absolutely incredible host and guide, and now friend! He was extremely helpful in responding to our million questions before the trip. My friends and I like to be very prepared and Rishi thoughtfully and promptly responded to every question we had, whether small or big. He made us feel calm and ready for our trek to Everest Base Camp, and was more than willing to accommodate our request for an extra acclimatization day built into our itinerary. We couldn’t wait to meet him.

Upon arrival to Nepal, Rishi greeted us personally at the airport and immediately made us feel right at home. He took us to the hotel that he owns – the Kathmandu Garden Hotel – which is quite luxurious (air conditioning that works extremely well; crisp, clean sheets; and a clean bathroom). The following day we met our guide for the trip – Ganga – and he brought us around Thamel to pick up a few last-minute supplies and showed us some awesome cultural sites in the city, including the monkey temple and the great Buddha Stupa.

The next day we were picked up bright and early and we started our trek. Again, all the details of our transport and other logistics were taken care of seamlessly by Rishi, which was true of our entire stay in Nepal.

Our entire trek went off without a hitch – all thanks to the careful organization and attentive care by Rishi, the friendly and competent guidance by Ganga, and the strength and tenacity of our porters. We chose the mid-level accommodations, and they were generally wonderful. We got private rooms in every hotel along the trail, and private restrooms in most. We also were extremely grateful to have Ganga as our guide – he was patient, knowledgeable, and very goofy – just like me and my friends.

After our trek was over, we had a few extra days before we had to fly home, so Rishi organized a last-minute trip to Pokhara. We had a blast taking a tour of the city, visiting the World Peace Pagoda, and paragliding (!). Rishi organized everything for us including stay and travel to and from, so everything was a breeze.

Traveling with Satori is the way to go when trekking in the Himalayas – for a reasonable and fair price, you get treated with the utmost care and respect, every last detail is thought through and taken care of, and you will be safe and happy throughout your entire trip! I am very impressed with Rishi and his entire staff. Sending a big DHANYABAD from America! Hugs

Everest Base Camp Trek (18 Days) - Amazing, Lifechanging Experience

Two of my best friends and I trekked to Everest Base Camp in late September - early October of 2017. Everything, from start to finish, was impeccable. Rishi puts his heart and soul into his business, and stops at nothing to make sure everyone is safe and happy. Since this trip was a life dream of mine, I was the point person amongst my friends to book everything. I chose Satori since Rishi answered my (literally) ENDLESS questions promptly, patiently, and thoroughly. I can't stress enough how thoughtful he was: he emailed back and forth with me for months before I even booked anything with his company, placating all my fears and getting me really excited about the trip. So when the time came to select a trekking company, the choice was easy: Satori.

From the moment we arrived in Nepal, we were all blown away by the kindness of everyone around us. I've been to many countries and there's something indefinable and special about Nepal.

Rishi picked us up from the airport at midnight, putting scarves around our necks. From there, we were dropped off at the hotel that he owns, The Garden Hotel. The accommodations were nicer than we expected, and the staff was very attentive and polite.

We met our guide, Ganga, and after a couple nights in Kathmandu we took off for the Everest region. Satori booked our plane tickets and our flight was only delayed by an hour or so - which is insanely lucky, considering the fact that it's not uncommon for flights to be delayed for days at a time due to bad weather. I was VERY nervous about the flight in such a tiny plane, but there was no turbulence at all, just beautiful views of the Himalayas, and a smooth landing into Lukla.

We hit it off with our guide almost immediately - we couldn't have asked for better support. He answered all of our questions, goofed around with us, and gave us encouragement when we needed it most - I would not have made it up Kala Pattar without him. Our porters were also insanely helpful - we would not have made it up there without them, either.

Ganga organized all the logistics for us, making the trek a seamless experience. The Everest region doesn't have roads, and the trail winds through the Khumbu River Valley as you hike through villages. It was so cool to walk through all those villages, see and talk to the local people, and get a feel for the country. I hike in most places I travel, but I've never had an experience like this before, and I can't recommend it enough. There's also something to be said for hiking all day and then eating a hot dinner, taking a shower, and sleeping in a bed. And, to top it all off, we didn't have to worry about bills or bookings - Ganga handled everything.That's pretty much heaven to me.

One of my friends got sick during the trip, and we were all worried it was altitude sickness. Luckily, it was just a stomach bug, and Ganga took us to the local doctor where she got meds and was as good as new in a couple days. Satori gives 2 acclimatization days in their standard EBC trek, but we paid for an extra one since we wanted a cushion. This ended up being vital to our success, since we needed that rest day for my friend to recover. My other friend and I were also happy we had a rest day, since the trek is pretty hard and it's nice to have a day to read, lounge, do yoga, etc. If you have the time and it's in your budget to do so, I recommend having an extra day during your trek. You can always push on if you don't feel like you need it, and then you just have one more free day in Nepal after your trip, which is a win win.

Before I move to the next section of our trip, I want to sing the praises of Ganga one last time. When we were hiking up Kala Patar, I was struggling a lot. There were many moments when I didn't think I'd be able to make it up - I was having a lot of trouble breathing (I have asthma, so I suffer more from shortness of breath at high altitude). Ganga saw me clearly in pain and offered to take my backpack, which I gratefully gave to him. Without him carrying that weight for me, there is no way I would have made it up the last mile. None. He also ended up carrying one of my friend's backpacks as well, and he is the reason we all had the most magical moment of my life: seeing the sun rise over Everest, on a clear beautiful day. I printed and hung one of the photos that we took at sunrise, and look at it every day to remind me of that moment.

Since we had no weather delays, we ended up having a good chunk of time left in Nepal after our trek. Rishi booked an amazing trip to Pokhara for us, really spoiling us by taking care of every detail, no matter how small. We got a tour through the city, and even went paragliding! It was such a fun experience, and we all had an amazing time kicking back and relaxing after the strenuous trek.

I don't think it's possible to have had a better experience, and I can't recommend Satori enough. I am the kind of person who likes to research a topic to death, as a means of placating my anxiety, and I felt 100% safe and happy with Rishi and Satori. Thank you Satori for helping me accomplish my life dream of touching the mountain that has inspired women and men for centuries. I still can't believe I went there, and will treasure the memories forever!

Memories for lifetime on the way to EBC!

Apr 2023

My first experience with Satori and it was excellent. They came in highly recommended by my friend's network and they did not disappoint, Best service possible when we reached EBC and stayed there overnight. Rishiji is an awesome gentleman and knows exactly what it takes to make sure that his clients receive all the care amidst challenges that one is expected to encounter on the way to EBC. Will definitely repeat with them for my next adventure in the Nepal region.

Satori is your trekking guide!

Satori gave us personal, professional, flexible, experienced, and affordable service from beginning to end. In the process we befriended Satori's generous owner and chief manager Rishi Bhandari. The differentiator is that when I had a health issue on the trek with a bad hip, Satori took care of me, taking me to the doctor, with extra support at the hotel and to the airport to go home. It was unique to us that Satori also owned the hotel where we stayed and made sure we were comfortable before and after the trek, with optional guided sightseeing. The trek itself was spectacular, well supported with an expert, friendly, fun guide; a lifelong dream. Go to Everest and hire Satori!

Highly recommended - Best company to trek with for Everest Base Camp

We a team of 10 friends had an incredible experience to EBC with Satori Adventures.

When we arrive at Kathmandu and due to heavy rain and flooding all the flights got canceled but Rishi (Owner) has so many connections and he managed to get the booking to helicopter and flights were i can see other tour companies couldn't managed.

Accommodation, food, our well-being, baggage, and every aspect of our needs were taken care of our guide Sunil and Rishi and his team.

We find Sunil a well experienced, excellent and friendly guide, with several years of experience. He was giving so much support as some days we get so tired and decide I don't want to go ahead but his support and guidance help me to achieve my goal.

Bibek , Deepak, Bhakta our porter were so friendly. Well known of the surrounding area,joyful, always eager to help, making sure lour trek was comfortable.

Overall, we are incredible pleased with the service, the friendship, the professionalism and the relief of being in good hands when we were trekking with Satori Adventures.

Top quality service at a very reasonable price. We couldn't do this trek without Satori Adventures support.

We recommend them wholeheartedly!

A dream came true!

Generally speaking, Nepal is a country everyone must see (at least) once in a life time! Trekking to EBC is an unique experience in itself, BUT having a professional local agency is crucial! We were lucky to have had such an agency - Satori Adventures! Excellent organization, professional, patience and very kind guides that embodied nepalese natural style. I am grateful to have met these people and a big THANK YOU to Satori Adventure for all the efforts concentrated to secure out trip and welfare in Nepal. I strongly recommend Satori Agency for any trip/trekking/expedition you might plan to do in Nepal! Keep up the good work, guys! ;-)
