As two young girls arriving in Nepal, we were concerned about finding a trekking company that could give us peace of mind along with the trek we wanted. Amrit the manager was amazing and totally accommodated our needs and understood that we were students so not wanting to spend a crazy amount. We did the Everest Region trek, and it was the best experience of my life. Our guide Prakash made the whole experience for us, not only was he very knowledgable and helpful but a great person who really tailored our trek for us both. As two young girls, they put our minds at rest about safety. I could not recommend them enough to anyone wanting a short to long or cheap to expensive track. They have it all and will accommodate in the best way for all.

I just feel the vertex holiday is a professional travel company that runs by experience local. I recommend as a solo traveler and not an experienced trekker, that vertex holiday makes the whole trips very easy, convenient and a trip to look forward to! throughout the whole trek was extremely entertaining with such a great guide. I also have to thank Amrit who was very understanding and helpful throughout my whole process from the initial conversations to even after the conclusion!!! Highly recommend this company!

Graded as a moderate trekking trip, Everest Base Camp trek is a challenging due to its high altitude. EBC is not recommended for beginners, children and elderly, instead it will be better to check other trekking destinations in the lower elevated regions like Langtang, Ghorepani Poon Hill or Pikey Peak trekking. However in some rare cases, some of them manage to complete successfully on their first attempt.
No, the Everest Base Camp is elevated at 5364 meters above sea level; the highest point of this trek is Kalapathar (5555 m). A side hike from Gorakshep (5130m), to the popular viewpoint ideal for sunset and sunrise over the Everest Himalayas.
On average it takes around eight to nine days to reach the base camp, where the flight from Kathmandu to Lukla takes around 35 minutes. If you are thinking about avoiding the flight, then it will take around 14 days.
Foods available during the trek are from wide range of menus; including Nepali, Indian, Continental, Chinese and local Sherpa dishes. The hygiene of the foods are taken care of and most of the produces are sourced from the lower parts of the Solukhumbu region.
As the temperatures fall significantly low proper clothing to keep you warm including down jacket, woolen cap, sleeping bag , durable trekking boots ,trekking poles ,sunglasses ,windcheater, water thermos, personal medications and toiletries are among necessary equipment. Visit here for detailed list of recommended equipment checklist. Yes you can rent or purchase all necessary items in Kathmandu.
Normally we do not recommend our clients to use normal drinking water as their body might not be able to metabolize the composition of the water, instead it will be wise to use some sort of water purification methods. Besides, you can refill purified water from lodges or teahouses in your personal water bottles for certain amount of cost. Attached baths with hot water are available but comes with a little extra higher cost than the common sharing bathrooms. However in the higher altitude regions, the availability may depend on various factors. During the high tourist season, you might just need to settle with sharing bathrooms; therefore pre booking must be done.
Yes, charging your electronics and batteries are possible at teahouses and lodges and the particular accommodation will charge you with certain cost for the service.
On average, the walking duration ranges from five to seven hours per day depending on your stamina and the speed. However, there will be plenty of breaks for rests and during lunch and whenever a client needs to catch a breath
Normally our trip packages include most of your necessary expenses; you can take some extra cash with you ranging from 20 to 30 thousand rupees for your personal expenses. Technically you can use US dollars during the trek; however the exchange rates will be not as it is in Kathmandu. There are ATM in Lukla and Namche, and currencies are possible to exchange in the lodges.
