Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary: 11th - 26 October 2025
That is a detailed and well-structured 15-day itinerary for an Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek starting by road to Salleri/Kharikhola and flying back from Lukla. This route offers a good balance of road travel and trekking, allowing for gradual acclimatization and an efficient return journey.
Here are some details and general advice regarding this itinerary:
Itinerary Details and Comments

  • Day 2: Long Drive The drive to Kharikhola is a long and challenging day on mountainous roads. Be prepared for a rough but scenic journey. Starting the trek further down the Solukhumbu region helps with acclimatization by avoiding the immediate high altitude gain of flying directly into Lukla.
  • Day 3: Short Trek Day The drive ends at Surke, and the trek to Phakding is relatively short, which is a gentle way to start walking after the long drive.
  • Acclimatization (Days 4-7): The itinerary incorporates standard acclimatization practices, including a rest day in Dingboche with an acclimatization hike. This is crucial for safely reaching higher altitudes.
  • EBC & Kala Patthar (Days 9-10): The plan effectively covers EBC in the afternoon/evening and the sunrise view from Kala Patthar the next morning before descending. This is the classic approach.
  • Return Journey (Days 11-12): Trekking from Pheriche to Namche and then to Lukla are long descent days. Ensure you have comfortable gear as the downhill trek can be hard on the knees. The flight from Lukla to Kathmandu is a short but spectacular experience.
  • Flexibility: Having Day 14 as a free day in Kathmandu (or a buffer day) is highly recommended. Flights from Lukla are heavily weather-dependent and frequently delayed or canceled. This buffer day prevents stress if your flight is postponed.
