Quick answers to what people ask most before booking.
It is achievable for any healthy person with decent endurance: walking days of 5–7 hours, with Kala Patthar (5,600 m) as the highest point. Acclimatization is the key, so the program has two rest days and a gradual altitude profile.
Lukla is the famous mountain airstrip with a short sloping runway — the gateway to Khumbu. The 35-minute flight from Kathmandu is weather-dependent, which is why the program includes reserve days.
In tea houses: simple rooms and a common dining room with a stove, menus from dal bhat to pizza. Food costs 30–50 $ a day. Bring a sleeping bag: blankets exist, but nights above 4,000 m are cold.
Yes — the best viewpoint is Kala Patthar (5,600 m) at dawn, when Everest, Nuptse and Lhotse light up first. From base camp itself the summit is hidden — a classic surprise for first-timers.
Flights to Kathmandu and Kathmandu–Lukla, the 50 $ visa, lodging and meals (about 2,300–2,500 $ in total), an optional porter (20 $/day), tips — 250 $ for guides, 150 $ for porters — and insurance.
The classic windows: October–November and March–May. Autumn has clearer air and steadier views; spring is warmer, with rhododendrons in bloom.

Review on Yandex Maps →I want to thank the Mountain Crew team — they are real friends and guides into the world of big mountains.
I got to know them on a trip to Nepal and the climb of Lobuche (6119 m). It was one of the brightest adventures of my life. The organisation was flawless: from the airport pick-up to the logistics on the route. Clear, well-coordinated, with a full understanding of how mountains work. I felt safe every metre of the way.
But the main thing is the attitude. That is why I am writing this review sitting in a tent at Lenin Peak base camp (7134 m). I am with Mountain Crew again — coming back to them is like meeting old friends whose professional grip never lets you down.
If you are looking for a team that organises your trip end to end, with heart and without failures — this is them. I recommend them unreservedly. Waiting for good weather on Lenin!
Review on Yandex Maps →Seriously though: Nepal, autumn 2025. Everything was top notch. Ilya planned the route and the acclimatisation so well that I practically ran up to Everest Base Camp. All the lodges were good — and that is despite the route having to be reshuffled quite a bit because of the weather.
Review on Yandex Maps →I met the guys back in 2020 and we have been going to the mountains together ever since. Elbrus, Kazbek, Ararat, Kilimanjaro, Lenin Peak, the trek in Nepal, Ama Dablam... If you want to fill your life with adventure, you have come to the right place. Tried and tested.
