Budget Option: 6900 Dh (Early Bird Offer Closes Feb 28: requires payment in full
Walk Down Option: 7500 Dh
**does not include helicopter - you will pay this one week prior to departure.
11 days IN and Out. 15 with walk down option. This time of the season is ideal for those who do not want to brave the huge masses of crowds in the spring season. By far the best weeks to hike to base camp in the spring. The abundant crowds have GONE but the weather is still pretty much as close to perfect as you can get. Combined with the excitement of joining much of the groups hiking up to base camp to run the Everest Marathon on May 29th every year.
The glory of the Himalayas are always behind you!
Budget or Premium Options:
The competition in Nepal amongst tours for EBC is fierce. You can get tours for very low prices, but keep in mind you do get what you pay for and there ARE differences! We are offering a budget trek with what we feel are still the best options for tea houses, acclimatization and the helicopter exit - which is real value for money when you consider in less leave days from work. So you can rough it or take the princess route, you choose.
