The Everest Base Camp Trek is a challenging and rewarding trek that takes trekkers to the base camp of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain, through traditional Sherpa villages, lush rhododendron forests, and high-altitude passes.
The Budget Everest Base Camp Trek is a popular adventure trek that covers a total distance of approximately 130 km, with an average walking time of 6-7 hours per day. The best time to go is from March to May or from September to November. Major things to see include stunning mountain views, Sherpa villages, and the iconic base camp of the world’s highest mountain. Flora and fauna vary depending on the altitude, with rhododendrons, birch, and pine trees, and animals such as yaks and mountain goats. Budget prices for trekkers range from $40-60 USD per day, including accommodation, food, and permits.
The Budget Everest base camp trek is a great option for backpackers, students, and world travelers who want to experience the thrill of stepping on EBC but have a tight budget. Safe Holiday Adventure offers this trek for those who want to make their way to EBC and Kalapthar on a small budget.
The trek can start from several routes, including driving from Kathmandu to Salleri or taking a bus or jeep from Kathmandu to Bhandara via Jiri. This option skips the relatively expensive flight ticket. Walking below Lukla can be challenging due to the geographical features, but it is a more peaceful and classic route with natural things to observe.
Safe Holiday Adventure’s guide and porter will meet you in Kathmandu and manage transportation via jeep or bus to Salleri or Bhandara based on your budget. The trail ascends steeply every day until reaching Lukla, passing by several settlements such as Kimja, Sete, Lamjura, Junbeshi, Ringmo, Nunthala, Thaksindo, Kharikhola, and Surke. It takes about 4-5 days to walk from Bhandara to reach Lukla through lush forests and beautiful Sherpa and Rai villages.
After reaching Lukla, the trail becomes easier, following the popular Everest route. The trek passes through colorful Sherpa villages and high suspension bridges, with stops for tea and coffee along the way. Namche Bazaar is a trade center of the upper trek part of Sherpa residency with proper restaurants, coffee shops, stores, ATMs, and money exchanges. From Namche, the trail leads to Tangboche, where trekkers can witness the cultural monastery of Buddhist religion and the Everest view.
The trek continues to Pangboche, Somare, Dingboche, and Lobuche, where trekkers stay for two nights to acclimatize before trekking to EBC via Gorakshep. After spending a night at Gorakshep, trekkers hike up to Kalapathar for sunrise before descending steeply to Pheriche. The trek continues to Namche Bazaar, Ringmo, and Salleri, where trekkers take a jeep back to Kathmandu.
Safe Holiday Adventure designs this trek for low-budget trekkers who want to witness the beauty of the Everest region, especially EBC. The agency can customize your itinerary and budget for your budget Everest base camp trek in Nepal.
Preparing for a 12 days Everest Base Camp Budget trek involves several key steps. First, focus on building your physical endurance through regular exercise and training. Next, research the best budget-friendly accommodations and meals along the trekking route. You’ll also need to obtain the necessary permits and Trekking gear, including waterproof hiking boots, warm clothing, and a good backpack. Finally, consider hiring a Experienced guide or joining a group trek with Reputed Trekking Agency to split costs and ensure safety. With careful planning and preparation, you can have a memorable Everest Base Camp trek on a budget.
The best time to trek to Everest Base Camp on a budget is during the off-season from December to February when the prices for accommodations and flights are lower. However, this season can also be quite challenging due to the cold weather and snowfall. Alternatively, the peak trekking season from March to May or from September to November offers the best weather and trail conditions, but prices can be higher. At Safe Holiday Adventure Pvt. Ltd., we can customize the itinerary and provide the best possible price for our clients, whether they are students, backpackers, or budget trekkers. We can help you plan your trek to Everest Base Camp within your small budget and ensure a safe and memorable adventure.
Budget-friendly accommodations in the Everest region are readily available, particularly in the form of basic lodges/ Guest Houses that offer simple Rooms with shared facilities like bathrooms and hot showers. These Tea House/lodges are affordable and provide a great opportunity to meet other trekkers. To further save money, consider sharing a room with other trekkers and splitting the cost. In the higher regions such as at Lobuche, Gorakshep dormitories are also available, where you can sleep in a shared room with multiple beds, allowing you to save even more. These budget-friendly accommodations may not offer the same level of luxury as more expensive options, but they provide a comfortable and affordable base for your trekking adventure in the Everest region.
The cheapest way to get to the Everest region is by taking a combination of public transportation and walking. You can take a local bus or shared jeep from Kathmandu to Jiri- Bhandara or Salleri, the starting points for the Classic Everest Base Camp trek. From there, you can hike to the Everest region through beautiful landscapes and Sherpa villages. Another option is to take a flight to Lukla(2860m), the gateway to the Everest region, and then hike to your destination. Although flying is more expensive, it saves time and is a safer option during the monsoon season. Keep in mind that this option requires early booking and can be weather-dependent.
Choosing a budget Everest Base Camp trek company requires careful consideration of several factors. First, look for a company with a good reputation and reviews from previous clients. Next, check if the company is registered with the Nepal Tourism Board and has valid permits and licenses. A reliable company should also provide clear information on the itinerary, services included, and any additional costs. Be wary of companies offering unusually low prices as they may compromise on safety or quality. It’s also important to check if the company provides adequate insurance for their Guides and Porters. Finally, choose a company that offers personalized service and can cater to your specific needs and budget.
If you’re looking for budget-friendly alternatives to the Everest Base Camp trek, there are several options to consider. One alternative is the Annapurna Base Camp trek, which offers stunning mountain views, beautiful landscapes, and a more diverse cultural experience than the Everest region. The Langtang Valley trek is another great option that is less crowded and offers a glimpse into traditional Tamang culture. For a shorter trek, the Poon Hill trek is a popular choice that offers beautiful sunrise views over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. Other options include the Ghorepani Ghandruk trek, the Mardi Himal trek, and the Upper Mustang trek. These treks offer unique experiences and stunning views at a more affordable price than the Everest Base Camp trek.

The Sagarmatha National Park entry fee costs around USD 34 per person, while the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality fee costs around USD 23 per person. These fees are mandatory and must be paid before starting the trek. Be sure to budget accordingly for these additional costs.
