Everest Base Camp 1-day itinerary

Begin your day at Everest Base Camp early to beat the crowds and catch the best light. The trail is most atmospheric in the morning when the air is cool and the landscape catches the first golden rays. Take time to explore the main highlights and capture photographs in the soft morning light. This is the most rewarding time to visit.

Spend the afternoon exploring further afield. Follow the trails deeper into the landscape for more secluded viewpoints and quieter corners. Grab lunch at a local eatery for authentic flavours and budget-friendly prices.

End the day watching the alpenglow light up the peaks. The evening light at Everest Base Camp is spectacular and worth waiting for. Find a local restaurant for dinner — aromatic local curries and fresh bread.
