Overview

The Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek offers a blend of adventure and comfort amidst the world's highest peaks. This trek is designed for those seeking a premium trekking experience in the iconic Everest region of Nepal.

Starting from the bustling town of Lukla, the trek follows the legendary trail to Everest Base Camp, passing through picturesque Sherpa villages like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Dingboche. These villages are nestled in the foothills of towering Himalayan peaks and offer a glimpse into the rich Sherpa culture and traditions.

Unlike traditional treks, the Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek provides accommodation in luxury lodges along the way. These lodges offer spacious rooms with comfortable beds, hot showers, and modern amenities such as WiFi and heated dining areas. Enjoying panoramic views of the mountains from the comfort of your lodge adds a touch of luxury to your trekking experience.

The trek also includes gourmet meals prepared by experienced chefs, featuring a variety of international and local dishes. From hearty breakfasts to multi-course dinners, the meals are designed to satisfy and energize trekkers after a day on the trail.

Throughout the trek, expert guides provide insightful commentary on the local culture, geography, and wildlife of the Everest region. They ensure a safe and enjoyable trekking experience while catering to individual preferences and interests.

One of the highlights of the Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek is reaching Everest Base Camp itself, located at an altitude of 5,364 meters (17,598 feet). Standing at the base of the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, is a humbling and awe-inspiring experience. Trekkers can also opt to hike to Kala Patthar, a nearby vantage point renowned for its panoramic views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse.

The trek concludes with a scenic flight back to Kathmandu from Lukla, offering a final glimpse of the majestic Himalayan landscape. The Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek is ideal for those looking to explore the Everest region in style, without compromising on comfort and luxury.

The Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek with Ram Himalayan Trek combines the legendary adventure of reaching Everest Base Camp with a more comfortable and carefully organized trekking experience. Instead of focusing only on speed and physical challenge, this itinerary allows travelers to enjoy the Himalayan landscape, Sherpa culture, Buddhist monasteries, mountain-view lodges, comfortable accommodation, and personalized support along the trail.

The journey follows the classic route from Lukla through Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, Everest Base Camp, and Kala Patthar before returning to Lukla. The itinerary includes acclimatization days at Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, which are particularly important because the route reaches elevations above 5,000 meters. The Nepal Tourism Board also recommends spending time acclimatizing around Namche rather than rushing through the area.

Best Time for Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek

The best seasons for an Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek are generally spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November). These periods normally offer favorable trekking conditions, clearer mountain views, and better visibility than the monsoon months. The Nepal Tourism Board specifically identifies March–May and October–November among the strongest seasons for the Everest region.

Autumn is particularly popular because the post-monsoon atmosphere can provide excellent visibility, while spring brings warmer temperatures and blooming rhododendrons at lower elevations. Winter is possible for experienced trekkers but can bring very cold conditions and snow at higher elevations, while June–September is affected by monsoon rain and less reliable mountain visibility.

Best-season highlights:

  • March–May: Spring trekking and blooming rhododendrons
  • September–November: Clearer post-monsoon conditions
  • October–November: Excellent period for mountain views
  • Winter: Colder and potentially snowy at higher elevations
  • Monsoon: More rain, clouds, and flight/weather disruptions

Everest Base Camp Luxury Trekking Difficulty and Transfers

The Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek is a challenging high-altitude trek, even when operated in a luxury style. Luxury accommodation and better services can make the journey more comfortable, but they cannot remove the physical demands of walking at elevations above 5,000 meters. The route includes steep ascents and descents, rocky terrain, suspension bridges, long walking days, and changing weather conditions.

Altitude is the most important challenge. The itinerary includes acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, followed by gradual progression toward Lobuche, Gorakshep, Everest Base Camp, and Kala Patthar. The trek therefore requires preparation, sensible pacing, hydration, appropriate clothing, and attention to how your body responds to altitude.

Difficulty and transfer points:

  • Difficulty: Challenging
  • Maximum altitude: Approximately 5,645m at Kala Patthar
  • Walking: Generally 5–8 hours on trekking days, depending on conditions and pace
  • Terrain: Rocky paths, stone steps, suspension bridges, and steep sections
  • Acclimatization: Namche Bazaar and Dingboche
  • Airport transfer: Kathmandu/Ramechhap ↔ Lukla
  • Mountain transfer: Primarily trekking; no road transfer to Everest Base Camp
  • Flight conditions: Subject to weather and operational conditions
  • Support: Guide, porter support, accommodation arrangements, and itinerary coordination

Everest Base Camp Luxury Trekking Permits

Permits and trekking documentation are an important part of the Everest Base Camp journey. The Nepal Tourism Board currently lists the Everest Base Camp Trek among the Everest-region routes where trekkers must be accompanied by a licensed trekking guide and carry a trekking-agency-issued TIMS Card.

The trek also passes through Sagarmatha National Park, where an entry permit is required. Nepal Tourism Board currently lists the Sagarmatha National Park entrance fee for foreign visitors at NPR 3,000 per person per entry and also identifies TIMS and park entry documentation for Everest-region trekking. Applicable local/route fees can also apply, so your trekking agency should verify the requirements before departure.

Main permit/documentation requirements:

  • Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit
  • TIMS Card
  • Applicable Khumbu/local route permit or fee
  • Passport copy and required personal details
  • Licensed trekking guide through a registered trekking agency
  • Additional permits only if the itinerary is extended to restricted areas or climbing/expedition routes
  • Important: Permit requirements and fees can change. Ram Himalayan Trek should confirm the current applicable fees and documentation before your departure.

Why Choose Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek with Ram Himalayan Trek?

Choosing a luxury Everest Base Camp trek allows you to experience one of the world's most famous trekking routes without giving up comfort wherever the mountain environment allows it. The luxury approach focuses on quality accommodation, thoughtful acclimatization, experienced trekking support, comfortable meals, better rest opportunities, and personalized service.

Ram Himalayan Trek can position this itinerary as a premium alternative to a basic teahouse trek by emphasizing careful itinerary planning and guest comfort. The luxury concept is particularly valuable after demanding walking days, when a comfortable lodge, warm meal, hot shower where available, charging facilities, and a welcoming dining area can make a major difference.

Why choose Ram Himalayan Trek:

  • Carefully planned 14-day Everest Base Camp itinerary
  • Dedicated trekking guide and support team
  • Acclimatization days at Namche and Dingboche
  • Premium lodge accommodation where available
  • Comfortable Kathmandu hotel accommodation
  • Assistance with trekking permits and documentation
  • Flight and ground-transfer coordination
  • Porter support for trekking baggage
  • Comfortable dining and meal arrangements
  • Focus on safety, pacing, and altitude awareness
  • Personalized trekking experience
  • Cultural interaction with Sherpa communities
  • Opportunity to experience Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar

Accommodation and Luxury Experience

The luxury concept on the Everest trail should be understood in the context of the remote Himalayan environment. Kathmandu offers a wider range of luxury hotels, while higher on the trail the best available premium lodges and comfortable mountain hotels are used. The Nepal Tourism Board confirms that resorts, hotels, lodges, and tea houses are available in the Everest region.

At higher elevations, facilities naturally become more limited than in Kathmandu. Nevertheless, selecting quality lodges can provide a more comfortable experience, with features such as private or upgraded rooms where available, dining lounges, hot showers at selected properties, charging facilities, and Wi-Fi where the lodge provides connectivity.

Luxury features may include:

  • Premium Kathmandu hotel
  • Best available mountain lodges
  • Private or upgraded rooms where available
  • Hot showers where available
  • Wi-Fi where available
  • Charging facilities where available
  • Comfortable dining lounges
  • Warm meals and beverages
  • Porter service
  • Experienced trekking guide
  • Organized airport and hotel transfers

Meals During the Luxury Trek

Food is an important part of maintaining energy during a high-altitude trek. The itinerary can include nutritious breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks designed around the needs of trekkers. Popular mountain meals include dal bhat, soups, noodles, pasta, rice dishes, vegetables, eggs, Tibetan-style breads, and other locally available options.

At higher elevations, food availability becomes more limited, so a luxury trekking experience focuses on choosing the best available dining options rather than promising a city-style gourmet menu everywhere. Hydration and adequate calorie intake are particularly important during long walking days.

Meal highlights:

  • Nutritious breakfasts
  • Warm lunches and dinners
  • Traditional Nepali dal bhat
  • Soups and hot drinks
  • Vegetarian and other dietary options where available
  • Snacks for trekking days
  • Safe drinking-water arrangements
  • Meals selected according to lodge availability

Culture, Nature and Himalayan Experience

The Everest Base Camp route is much more than a mountain hike. The journey passes through the homeland of the Sherpa people and provides opportunities to experience Buddhist monasteries, prayer flags, mani walls, chortens, traditional villages, and local mountain life. Nepal Tourism Board describes the Everest region as an opportunity to observe and participate in the daily life and culture of the Sherpa communities.

The route also passes through Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape known for its dramatic mountain environment, forests, glaciers, and Himalayan wildlife. The vegetation changes significantly with altitude, from pine, hemlock, fir, birch, and rhododendron forests to juniper, alpine vegetation, and bare rock at higher elevations.

Cultural and natural highlights:

  • Sherpa villages
  • Namche Bazaar
  • Tengboche Monastery
  • Buddhist prayer wheels and mani walls
  • Chortens and prayer flags
  • Sagarmatha National Park
  • Khumbu Glacier
  • Himalayan wildlife and birds
  • Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam views
  • Traditional Himalayan architecture

Final Experience

The Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek with Ram Himalayan Trek is designed for travelers who want to achieve the dream of reaching Everest Base Camp while enjoying a more comfortable, organized, and personalized Himalayan experience. From the excitement of the Lukla flight to the peaceful monasteries of Tengboche and the high-altitude landscapes around Lobuche and Gorakshep, every stage provides a different perspective of the Everest region.

Reaching Everest Base Camp at 5,364 meters and standing beneath the world's highest mountain is the defining moment of the trek, while the sunrise hike to Kala Patthar at approximately 5,645 meters provides one of the journey's most memorable panoramic experiences. With proper acclimatization, experienced support, appropriate preparation, and carefully selected accommodation, the trek combines adventure, culture, nature, and comfort in one extraordinary Himalayan journey.

Trip Itinerary

Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, a representative from Ram Himalayan Trek will warmly welcome you and assist you with your transfer to your luxury hotel. After completing the airport formalities, you will enjoy a comfortable private transfer through the lively streets of Kathmandu. Once at the hotel, you can check in, freshen up, and relax after your journey. Depending on your arrival time and energy level, you may explore the colorful streets of Thamel, visit nearby attractions, or enjoy your hotel's facilities and comfort. In the evening, your trekking team will provide a detailed briefing about the Everest Base Camp trek, including the itinerary, safety guidelines, altitude precautions, and preparations for the journey ahead. Overnight at a luxury hotel in Kathmandu.
After an early breakfast, you will take a scenic flight toward Lukla, one of the most famous mountain airstrips in the world. Depending on seasonal flight operations, flights may operate from Kathmandu or from Ramechhap Airport. The approximately 30–40-minute flight offers spectacular views of the Himalayan range as you approach Lukla. After landing, you will meet your trekking crew, organize your belongings, and begin your first day of trekking through the beautiful Khumbu region. The trail passes through traditional Sherpa settlements, lush forests, small waterfalls, and suspension bridges while following the Dudh Koshi River. After several hours of gentle walking, you will reach Phakding, a peaceful village surrounded by green hills and Himalayan scenery. Enjoy a comfortable evening at your lodge, with time to rest and prepare for the days ahead.
Today you will enter deeper into the Everest region as the trail follows the Dudh Koshi River toward the famous Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar. You will cross several suspension bridges decorated with colorful prayer flags and pass through pine and rhododendron forests, with occasional glimpses of snow-covered peaks. The trail gradually becomes more challenging as you approach the Sagarmatha National Park entrance and begin the final uphill section toward Namche. After a steady climb, the impressive amphitheater-shaped town of Namche Bazaar comes into view. Known as the commercial and cultural center of the Khumbu region, Namche is surrounded by spectacular Himalayan peaks and provides an excellent setting for your first night at higher altitude. Settle into your comfortable lodge, enjoy a warm meal, and relax while taking in the mountain atmosphere.
Today is an important acclimatization day designed to help your body adjust safely to the increasing altitude. Rather than remaining completely inactive, you will take a gradual hike around the Namche area, following the principle of “climb high and sleep low.” One popular option is a hike toward the Everest View Hotel, where, weather permitting, you can enjoy panoramic views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and other Himalayan peaks. You can also visit the Sherpa Cultural Museum, explore the local market, or spend time interacting with the friendly people of the region. Your trekking guide will monitor your health and provide advice about hydration, rest, and altitude awareness. After the hike, return to your lodge for a relaxed afternoon and a comfortable overnight stay in Namche.
After breakfast, you will leave Namche Bazaar and follow a scenic trail along the hillsides, enjoying magnificent views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku. The trail initially offers relatively gentle walking before descending toward the Dudh Koshi River at Phunki Thenga. From here, you will begin a steady ascent through beautiful rhododendron, pine, and fir forests toward Tengboche. As you approach the village, the magnificent Tengboche Monastery comes into view, set against an unforgettable Himalayan backdrop. Tengboche is one of the most important Buddhist monasteries in the Khumbu region and is deeply connected with Sherpa culture and traditions. You may have an opportunity to visit the monastery and experience its peaceful spiritual atmosphere. In the evening, enjoy a warm meal and relax at your lodge while admiring the surrounding mountain scenery.
Today the trail continues toward the higher elevations of the Khumbu Valley. You will descend through beautiful forests toward Deboche and cross the Imja River before gradually climbing toward Pangboche. Along the way, you will enjoy increasingly dramatic views of Ama Dablam, one of the most distinctive and beautiful mountains in the Everest region. The landscape becomes drier and more rugged as you gain altitude, with fewer trees and increasingly open mountain terrain. Continuing along the Imja Valley, you will eventually reach Dingboche, a scenic Sherpa settlement surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks. Dingboche is an important acclimatization point on the Everest Base Camp route and provides spectacular views of Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Island Peak, and surrounding mountains. After arriving, settle into your lodge, enjoy a nourishing dinner, and rest for the night.
Another acclimatization day is scheduled in Dingboche to allow your body to adjust to the high altitude before continuing toward Everest Base Camp. After breakfast, you can take a gradual hike toward Nagarjun Hill or another suitable viewpoint selected by your guide according to weather and your physical condition. From higher ground, you may enjoy impressive views of Makalu, Lhotse, Cholatse, Taboche, Ama Dablam, and the surrounding valleys. The hike also helps prepare your body for the demanding days ahead. After returning to Dingboche, you can relax at the lodge, enjoy the peaceful mountain environment, read, take photographs, or learn more about the local Sherpa way of life. Your guide will continue monitoring your acclimatization and remind you about hydration, nutrition, and altitude safety. Overnight at a comfortable lodge in Dingboche.
Today marks the beginning of a more dramatic section of the trek as you climb farther into the high Himalayas. Leaving Dingboche behind, the trail gradually ascends toward the terminal moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. You will pass through rugged landscapes with breathtaking views of Cholatse, Taboche, Pumori, Nuptse, and other surrounding peaks. Along the way, you will reach the memorial area dedicated to climbers who lost their lives attempting to climb Mount Everest and other Himalayan peaks. The memorials are a quiet and emotional reminder of the challenges faced by mountaineers in this extreme environment. From here, the trail continues toward Lobuche, a small high-altitude settlement surrounded by impressive mountains and glaciers. Upon arrival, enjoy a warm meal, rest, and prepare yourself for the following day's journey to Everest Base Camp.
Today is the most anticipated day of your adventure as you make your way to Everest Base Camp. After an early breakfast, you will follow the rocky trail along the Khumbu Glacier toward Gorakshep, the last major settlement on the route to Base Camp. After a short rest and leaving unnecessary belongings at the lodge, you will continue toward Everest Base Camp across rugged glacial terrain. The trail can be demanding, with rocky sections and glacial moraine, but the incredible surroundings make every step worthwhile. Finally, you will reach Everest Base Camp at 5,364 meters, standing beneath some of the world's highest and most spectacular peaks. You can celebrate this unforgettable achievement, take photographs, and admire the dramatic Khumbu Icefall and surrounding mountains. After spending time at Base Camp, retrace your route back to Gorakshep for a well-deserved dinner and overnight stay.
Today begins with an early-morning hike to Kala Patthar, one of the finest viewpoints in the Everest region. Starting before sunrise allows you to reach the summit in time to witness the first golden rays of sunlight illuminating Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, and the surrounding Himalayan peaks. The climb to Kala Patthar is challenging because of the high altitude, but the extraordinary panoramic views make it one of the highlights of the entire trek. After spending time at the viewpoint and taking photographs, descend to Gorakshep for breakfast and a short rest. You will then continue downhill through Lobuche and the familiar mountain landscape before reaching Pheriche. The significant descent provides some relief after several days at extreme altitude. Enjoy a comfortable evening in Pheriche and take the opportunity to relax and recover.
After breakfast, you will begin your descent toward the greener and more sheltered areas of the Khumbu Valley. The trail passes through Pangboche, one of the oldest and most picturesque Sherpa villages in the region, where you can appreciate traditional stone houses and mountain scenery. Continuing downhill, you will reach Tengboche and have another opportunity to admire the monastery and its spectacular surroundings. From Tengboche, the trail descends steeply toward Phunki Thenga before climbing back toward Namche Bazaar. As you lose altitude, the air becomes noticeably warmer and vegetation gradually returns to the landscape. Arriving in Namche feels rewarding after completing the high-altitude section of the trek. Enjoy a relaxing evening, a hearty meal, and the welcoming atmosphere of this famous Sherpa town.
Today is your final trekking day in the Everest region. After breakfast, you will retrace the familiar trail from Namche Bazaar toward Lukla, descending through forests and traditional mountain villages while following the Dudh Koshi River. Along the way, you will cross suspension bridges and pass through Phakding and other settlements that you visited at the beginning of the trek. Although the trail is mostly downhill, the long distance requires a steady pace and good energy. As you approach Lukla, you can reflect on the incredible journey you have completed, from the first steps along the Dudh Koshi Valley to standing at Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar. In the evening, celebrate the successful completion of your trek with your trekking guides and Sherpa support team, sharing stories and memories from your Himalayan adventure. Overnight in Lukla.
After breakfast, you will take a scenic flight from Lukla back toward Kathmandu or Ramechhap, depending on the current flight schedule, weather conditions, and operational arrangements. The flight provides a final opportunity to enjoy aerial views of the Himalayan landscape before leaving the mountains behind. Upon arrival, a representative from Ram Himalayan Trek will assist with your transfer to your luxury hotel in Kathmandu. The remainder of the day is free for relaxation and personal activities. You may enjoy the hotel's facilities, explore Kathmandu's cultural attractions, shop for souvenirs in Thamel, or simply rest after the demanding trek. In the evening, you can enjoy a special farewell dinner and celebrate the completion of your unforgettable Everest Base Camp journey.
After breakfast at your hotel, your Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek officially comes to an end. Depending on your flight schedule, you will have some free time to relax or enjoy a final glimpse of Kathmandu before a representative from Ram Himalayan Trek transfers you to Tribhuvan International Airport for your onward journey. As you leave Nepal, you will carry unforgettable memories of the legendary Khumbu Valley, traditional Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, dramatic glaciers, and the breathtaking sight of Mount Everest. We hope your journey with Ram Himalayan Trek has been comfortable, inspiring, and memorable, and we look forward to welcoming you again for another Himalayan adventure in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek is considered moderately challenging and requires a good level of physical fitness. Although no technical climbing skills are needed, trekkers walk for several hours each day on mountain trails that include steep ascents and descents. The highest point of the trek is Kala Patthar at 5,645 meters, where altitude can make trekking more demanding. Ram Himalayan Trek recommends regular cardiovascular exercise, hiking, and strength training before arrival. With proper preparation, a steady pace, and acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, most healthy individuals can complete the trek.

Acclimatization days are essential for allowing the body to adjust gradually to the decreasing oxygen levels at higher elevations. During the Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek, Ram Himalayan Trek includes dedicated acclimatization days at Namche Bazaar (3,440m) and Dingboche (4,412m). These rest days help reduce the risk of altitude sickness while still encouraging light activity through short hikes to higher viewpoints. Proper acclimatization significantly improves safety, comfort, and overall trekking performance, allowing participants to enjoy the incredible scenery and reach Everest Base Camp with greater confidence and well-being.

Yes, altitude sickness can affect anyone regardless of age, fitness level, or trekking experience. As trekkers ascend above 3,000 meters, the body needs time to adapt to lower oxygen levels. Ram Himalayan Trek prioritizes safety by following a gradual ascent schedule, including acclimatization days and closely monitoring trekkers' health throughout the journey. Symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue should never be ignored. Staying hydrated, maintaining a slow pace, eating nutritious meals, and communicating openly with guides are important steps for minimizing altitude-related risks and ensuring a successful trek.

Yes, the itinerary includes flights between Kathmandu or Ramechhap and Lukla, depending on seasonal aviation regulations and flight schedules. Lukla Airport serves as the gateway to the Everest region and offers one of the most scenic mountain flights in the world. Weather conditions in the Himalayas can occasionally cause delays or cancellations, which is a normal part of trekking in this region. Ram Himalayan Trek assists with flight arrangements, schedule coordination, and contingency planning to minimize disruptions and ensure a smooth start and finish to the trekking adventure.

In Kathmandu, guests stay in quality hotels with modern amenities. Along the trekking route, luxury lodges and premium teahouses offer comfortable rooms, quality bedding, heated dining areas, and excellent hospitality.

During these months, weather conditions are generally stable, skies are clear, and mountain views are exceptional. Spring offers blooming rhododendron forests and mild temperatures, while autumn provides crisp air and spectacular visibility after the monsoon season. Although winter and monsoon treks are possible, they present additional challenges such as colder temperatures, snow, rain, and reduced flight reliability. Ram Himalayan Trek recommends spring and autumn for the most comfortable and rewarding trekking experience.

Packing properly is essential for a comfortable and successful trek. Trekkers should bring layered clothing suitable for varying temperatures, including thermal base layers, fleece jackets, insulated outerwear, trekking pants, gloves, hats, sunglasses, and a quality sleeping bag if recommended. Comfortable trekking boots, trekking poles, personal medications, water bottles, and sun protection are also important. Even on a luxury trek, weather conditions can change rapidly in the Himalayas.

Outstanding guide for our father-son trek to Everest Base Camp

In April 2026 my father and I trekked to Everest Base Camp with Ram Dahal as our guide, and we could not have been in better hands. Ram is patient, genuinely kind, and completely focused on safety — his constant "stay safe and alert" mindset set the tone for the whole trip. He looked after the two of us superbly, and the care he took of my father meant a great deal to me. Thanks to Ram's effort and calm judgment, we both made it up and back healthy and in great spirits. Beyond his professionalism, Ram is simply a warm and generous person — the kind of guide who still checks in on you long after you're home. If you're planning a trek in the Khumbu region, we recommend him without hesitation. Thank you, Ram — Namaste!

Ram. Un gran guía, una gran persona.

Gran experiencia en el trekking al Campo Base del Everest con Ram Dahal. Gran guia y mejor persona. Perfecto conocedor del Valle del Khumbu, sus pueblos, sus gentes, su cultura, su espiritualidad... Ram nos ofreció no solo un excelente servicio como guía, sinó también un aprendizaje constante. Ya estamos esperando repetir experiencia, la pròxima vez en sus tierras, el valle fel Manaslú. Con Ram, por supuesto!

More than a guide – a true friend

My daughter (8y) and I took a private guided tour with Ram, and we completed Everest Base Camp trek and have stayed in close contact ever since. From the very first meeting, Ram treated my 8-year-old daughter with genuine warmth, encouragement and respect. He always made her feel included, believed in her and gave us complete confidence that her safety and well-being would always come first. His kindness, honesty and passion for the mountains are remarkable. Over the months since our trip, our guide has become our friend. We are already planning to return to Nepal, and next time there is no doubt—we want to trek with Ram Himalayan Trek.
