Everest Base Camp Trek Physical Preparation: Your 3-Month Fitness Guide
The journey to Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek is an adventure of a lifetime, and your success begins long before you set foot in Kathmandu. While the EBC trek doesn’t require technical climbing skills, it is a demanding high-altitude, multi-day hike that heavily tests your cardiovascular fitness, leg strength, and mental resilience.
To ensure you not only complete the trek but truly enjoy every breathtaking moment, feeling strong and confident, we’ve prepared this comprehensive 3-month physical fitness guide. This plan is designed to help you build the necessary endurance and strength, empowering you for the incredible challenge ahead.
Important Disclaimer: Before starting any new fitness regimen, especially one preparing you for a high-altitude trek, it is crucial to consult with your doctor or a healthcare professional. This is particularly important if you have any pre-existing health conditions or concerns. Listen to your body throughout your training and do not push through pain.
Core Principles: Your EBC Training Success Guide
Consistency is Key: Regular, dedicated workouts are essential for building trekking endurance. Make fitness a non-negotiable part of your routine.
Progressive Overload: Gradually increase the duration, intensity, and resistance of your workouts. This systematic approach ensures continuous improvement in cardiovascular fitness and leg strength.
Tune In to Your Body & Rest: Understand the difference between muscle fatigue and pain. Rest and recovery are as vital as the workouts themselves for successful high-altitude preparation.
Fuel Your Adventure: A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients and consistent hydration will support your training, aid recovery, and prepare your body for the demands of the trek.
Cultivate Mental Grit: The EBC trek will challenge you mentally as much as physically. Use your training to build mental fortitude – pushing through discomfort in a controlled environment will serve you well on the trail.
Month 1: Building Your Foundation – Aerobic Fitness & Basic Strength
This first month is about establishing a solid, consistent exercise routine and building your fundamental cardiovascular and muscular strength.
Month 1 Weekly Routine: Ignition Phase
Cardio Power (4-5 days/week): Focus on steady-state cardiovascular exercises to build your aerobic engine.
Examples: Brisk walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, or using an elliptical.
Duration: Begin with 30-45 minutes per session.
Intensity: Moderate effort – you should be able to hold a conversation but feel your heart rate elevated and be breathing noticeably.
Strength Sculpt (2-3 days/week): Concentrate on full-body functional movements, with a particular emphasis on your legs and core, crucial for stable trekking.
Examples (aim for 3 sets of 12-15 repetitions):
Legs: Squats (bodyweight or light dumbbells), Lunges (forward, reverse, side), Calf Raises, Trek-Specific Step-ups (using a sturdy bench or a set of stairs).
Core: Planks (hold for 30-60 seconds, gradually increasing), Russian Twists, Leg Raises.
Upper Body (for carrying your daypack): Push-ups (on knees or toes), Dumbbell Rows (light weights), Overhead Press (light weights).
Focus: Perfect your form before increasing weight or repetitions.
Embrace the Trail (1 day/week): Get accustomed to being on your feet for extended periods.
Duration: 1-2 hours.
Terrain: Seek out varied terrain if possible – local hiking trails, parks with inclines, or even long walks on uneven pavement. If you’re in an urban area, prioritize stairs or an inclined treadmill.
Backpack Acclimation: Start by carrying a light daypack (2-3 kg / 5-7 lbs) to get used to the sensation.
Flexibility & Recovery (Daily or Post-Workout):
Examples: Gentle yoga, dynamic stretching (e.g., leg swings, arm circles) before workouts, and static stretching (holding stretches for 20-30 seconds) after workouts. Target hamstrings, quadriceps, calves, hips, and lower back.
Importance: Prevents stiffness, improves range of motion, and aids in faster muscle recovery.
Sample Daily Schedule (Adapt to your lifestyle):
Monday: Cardio (40 min) + Strength Training (Legs & Core)
Tuesday: Cardio (40 min)
Wednesday: Strength Training (Full Body)
Thursday: Cardio (40 min)
Friday: Active Recovery (light walk, dedicated stretching) or Rest
Saturday: Longer Walk/Hike (1.5-2 hours with light pack)
Sunday: Rest or light stretching/yoga
Month 2: Increasing Endurance & Specificity – Momentum Building (Strength & Endurance Boost)
This month is about elevating your training. You’ll increase the duration and intensity of your cardio, challenge your muscles further, and integrate more trek-specific movements.
Weekly Routine:
Cardio Expansion (4-5 days/week):
Duration: Increase to 45-60 minutes per session.
Intensity: Introduce one session of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) per week. For example, alternate 1-2 minutes of very high effort (e.g., fast uphill walk/jog) with 2-3 minutes of moderate recovery. This significantly boosts your cardiovascular efficiency.
Focus: Continue incorporating activities that directly mimic trekking, such as prolonged stair climbing, steep inclined treadmill sessions, or hill repeat training.
Strength Fortification (3 days/week): Increase the resistance or weights for your strength exercises, and introduce more challenging variations.
Examples: Add light weights to your squats and lunges, perform step-ups onto higher platforms, consider Romanian deadlifts (if you have proper form and guidance), and integrate more advanced core stability drills (e.g., side planks, bird-dog).
Focus: Building the muscular endurance needed for sustained effort on varied terrain.
Extended Hikes (1-2 days/week):
Duration: Extend your hiking time to 2-4 hours.
Terrain: Actively seek out uneven, hilly, or mountainous terrain. If you’re in the USA, consider trails in state parks or rolling hills. In the UK, the Peak District or local “Wainwrights” provide excellent varied terrain. In Australia, bushwalking trails in national parks are ideal. If you’re urban, find multi-story buildings for stair climbing or set your treadmill to a high incline for the entire duration.
Backpack Load: Gradually increase the weight in your backpack to 5-7 kg (11-15 lbs). This prepares your body for the sustained carrying of your daypack on the trek.
Flexibility & Balance: Continue daily stretching. Add balance exercises (e.g., standing on one leg for 30-60 seconds, walking heel-to-toe) to improve stability on uneven trails.
Month 3: Trek Simulation & Peak Performance – Ascent Prep (Fine-Tuning & Tapering)
The final month is all about fine-tuning your fitness, simulating actual trek conditions, and then gradually reducing intensity to ensure you arrive in Kathmandu feeling refreshed and ready, not exhausted.
Weekly Routine:
Cardio Refinement (4-5 days/week):
Duration: Maintain 60 minutes or more for your primary cardio sessions.
Focus: Continue with a balanced mix of steady-state and interval training.
Strength Maintenance (2-3 days/week): Maintain your strength, but in the final 2-3 weeks before your departure, gradually reduce the intensity and weight of your lifting to avoid muscle soreness or injury. Focus more on muscular endurance.
Long-Haul Hikes (1-2 days/week): This is your crucial trek simulation.
Duration: Build up to 4-6 hours of continuous hiking.
Terrain: Prioritize terrain with significant ascents and descents. If you have access to larger hills, national parks, or long, steep stairs, utilize them. If not, simulate long ascents on an inclined treadmill.
Backpack Simulation: Carry the approximate weight you expect to carry daily on the trek (e.g., 5-6 kg / 11-13 lbs). This conditions your body and builds confidence.
Gear Practice: Crucially, wear your actual hiking boots during these long treks to ensure they are fully broken in and comfortable. If you plan to use trekking poles on EBC, practice using them on varied terrain.
Tapering Phase (Last 1-2 weeks):
Gradually reduce the duration and intensity of all your workouts. Your goal is to conserve energy and allow your muscles to fully recover before your trek.
Focus on shorter, lighter walks, gentle stretching, and ample rest. Prioritize quality sleep and excellent nutrition. You should feel energized and eager to begin your adventure, not fatigued.
Vital Considerations for Your EBC Preparation:
Footwear is Fundamental: Your trekking boots are your most important piece of gear. Break them in thoroughly during your training hikes to prevent blisters and discomfort on the actual trek.
Mental Fortitude is a Muscle: The EBC trek will challenge your mind as well as your body. Practice pushing through perceived limits in your training. Visualize yourself successfully navigating the trails, enjoying the views, and reaching Base Camp. A positive and determined mindset is invaluable.
Hydration, Always: Carry water with you during all your training sessions and make sure you’re consistently hydrating throughout your day. Good hydration starts now.
Balanced Fuel: Maintain a balanced diet rich in complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, lean protein for muscle repair and growth, and plenty of fruits and vegetables for essential vitamins and minerals.
Conclusion: By diligently following this progressive physical preparation plan, you’ll arrive in Kathmandu feeling strong, confident, and ready to embrace the majestic journey to Everest Base Camp. Your investment in your fitness now will pay dividends in unforgettable experiences on the trail.

Yes. Beginners can complete the Everest Base Camp Trek with proper preparation and acclimatization. Our itinerary is designed with rest days and a gradual ascent to help first-time trekkers adapt safely.
Our average success rate of trekkers reaching Everest Base Camp is around 95%.
Success rates are highest during spring and autumn due to better weather and trail conditions.
In Kathmandu, your accommodation will usually include an attached bathroom and facilities such as air conditioning, reception, and dining services. The level of accommodation is Nepalese 3-star and is comfortable and clean. If you require an upgrade of accommodation in Kathmandu, there are many 4-star and 5-star options available at an extra cost. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require an upgrade.
Once you start your trek, you will be staying in “Teahouses.” You will be sharing a twin room at these teahouses. The bed mattresses are usually firm and not sprung mattresses that you may be used to at home.
Everest Base Camp Trek accommodation is very basic, and there will usually be shared shower and toilet facilities. There is a communal dining hall in all teahouses offering limited meal choices. Although basic, the teahouses are clean and provide a welcoming, friendly, and warm resting place after a day of trekking.
We organize both fixed and customized tours. Fixed tours are operated on a group-joining basis, with dates available under the ‘Dates/Availability’ tab. We also operate tailor-made itineraries for the trek. For those trekkers wanting to do short and longer treks, we have different itineraries, such as 20-day EBC and Gokyo Lake trek, Everest Panorama trek, Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter trek and so on.
These are customizable itineraries that you can modify depending on your convenience. You can lengthen or reduce the number of trekking days from these itineraries. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in booking a customized trek to EBC.
You will find many tea houses on the trail that offer a wide variety of food and drinks. From typical Nepali dishes to continental dishes, you can find all types of food and drinks on the trekking trail to EBC. You can enjoy popular Nepali dish – Dal Bhat with seasoned vegetables and pickles. Additionally, you can enjoy pizza, momo, noodles, macaroni, sizzler, sandwich, burger, and more. You can also enjoy different types of coffee, fruit juice, and alcoholic drinks. However, since this is a high altitude trek, it’s important to maintain body hydration, so it’s a good idea to avoid alcoholic drinks.
We ask that all our customers bring water purification tablets and a water bottle with them. (They can be bought in Kathmandu if forgotten.) Mosaic Adventure supports responsible tourism, so we do not encourage trekkers to buy bottled water in the Himalayan region. Although it is available, there is no proper disposal system for plastic bottles, and we would like to keep our mountains clean and trash-free.
There will be plenty of water available along the way to fill your bottles, and most brands of purification tablets take just 30 minutes before you can drink your water. You can carry a water bottle of about 1.5 liters and fill it as you go; there’s no need to carry water for the whole day. We recommend that you drink a minimum of 3 to 4 liters of water per day while on your EBC trek.
Showers are available at the teahouses, usually in shared bathrooms, especially as you go higher up. You will have to pay for a hot water shower per person. The higher you go, the colder it gets, and you may find that you do not want to shower as often. You can wait just a few days until your descent. If you do not want to take a shower, you can use wet wipes to clean your body. You may not find them during the trek, or if you find any, they may cost more. So it’s a good idea to buy them in Kathmandu.
Walking poles are not compulsory but can be useful, especially on the way down. Poles help you balance on the way down and take the strain off your legs (quad muscles) on some of the steep climbs. You can buy poles in Kathmandu, and they easily collapse, so you can attach them to your backpack when they are not needed.
There are plenty of trekking shops in Kathmandu selling equipment inexpensively compared to the prices you would normally pay at home. However, the quality of these products cannot always be guaranteed.
If you do not want to take the risk, we recommend that you buy major items, such as trekking shoes, before you arrive in Nepal. It is also recommended that you buy your shoes well in advance of your trek so you can “break them in” and avoid blisters during your trip.
If you want to manage the trek cost, you can even rent some gear after paying a deposit amount.
Or, if you happen to forget some gear in Kathmandu, you can buy them at Namche Bazaar as well.
Yes, you can recharge your electronic devices in the teahouses. Please remember that the plugs might be different than those at home, so don’t forget to bring adapters with you or buy them in Kathmandu before the trip. You will have to pay for the use of electricity to recharge your electrical items, usually at a cost of $3-5 US per hour.
The local currency in Nepal is Nepali Rupees. We recommend that you bring US dollars or other widely accepted currencies like Euros, GBP, etc. to Nepal and exchange them here as it is easily done and widely accepted. Make sure to exchange them to NPR before heading out on the trek as teahouses might not accept other currencies. Also, you will not find ATMs in places higher than Namche Bazaar on the trek. Even those available at Namche or Lukla might not work all the time. So it is wise to carry enough NPR cash on hand.
The amount of money you will need on a daily basis depends on your spending habits. A guide would be $15 per day for extra drinks and the bar bill during your trek and $20 per day to cover lunch/dinner while in Kathmandu.
You will need to carry a reasonably sized daypack, big enough to carry personal items, water, camera, snacks, sunscreen, a hat, a fleece jacket, and gloves for higher altitudes.
For the trek to Everest Base Camp, the most important things you should carry in your daypack are personal items that you need for the day.
Do not forget to carefully go through packing list for Everest Base Camp Trek including enough snacks and a water bottle. Also, include lip balms, moisturizers, sanitizers, and sunscreen.
While you carry the light pack, your porters will carry the bigger packs with your clothes, etc. They will carry packs up to 20 kilos (10 kilos of each participant).
Please note that on a flight to Lukla, the weight limit is 15 kilos – 10 kilos for check-in and 5 kilos for carry-on, and the weight is combined. So your check-in and carry-on bag should not exceed 15 kilos in total. If you have any items that you don’t need on the trek, they can be stored in the hotel in Kathmandu without any additional cost.
If you feel unwell, our guide will assess the situation and may recommend rest or descent. In serious cases, helicopter evacuation can be arranged.
Our guides carry first-aid kits and basic medication, and health posts are available in Lukla, Namche, and Pheriche.
Common symptoms of altitude sickness include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, and difficulty sleeping.
If symptoms worsen or include confusion, difficulty walking, or shortness of breath at rest, immediate descent is required. Our guides monitor symptoms closely throughout the trek.
A high-altitude trek like EBC definitely requires reliable travel insurance. The chances of unexpected accidents and altitude sickness are common during the trek. Sometimes, trekkers fall seriously ill and require immediate helicopter evacuation.
In such emergencies, the cost of evacuation can be quite expensive. Due to these reasons and to ensure the safety of you and your belongings, travel insurance is a must. When obtaining insurance, you should check if it covers you up to a height of 6000 meters.
You will spend your nights in tea houses where you will be provided with a room containing a bed, mattress, blanket, and pillow. However, the blanket provided may not be sufficient. To be on the safe side, it is a good idea to pack a proper sleeping bag.
Yes, it is Everest Base Camp for beginners as well as experienced trekkers. Even a novice trekker can opt for this trek. To prepare yourself physically for the trek, you need to involve in physical fitness training a few months before the actual trek. Additionally, you must prepare yourself mentally as well because the trek is not going to be easy at high altitudes for many days.
To prepare yourself physically, you can do cardiovascular training like running, swimming, cycling, and so on. For strength and endurance training, you can do squats, lunges, aerobics, push-ups, sit-ups, and so on. Also, it’s recommended to do some short hikes frequently before the actual trek so that your body gets adjusted to walking on uneven terrain.
The Everest Base Camp trail is considered one of the safest trekking routes in Nepal. Trails are well marked, teahouses are available along the way, and serious incidents are rare.
The main risk is altitude, which is managed through acclimatization and experienced guides.
Not every season guarantees an encounter with the Everest expedition team. However, if you plan your trek during April and May, you have a chance to meet and interact with the team preparing to climb Mount Everest. The mountaineers typically spend months preparing for the summit, and you may find them doing so while on the trekking trail.
Additionally, you can meet the expedition team at Tyangboche monastery, where they collect their final blessing before starting their ascent.
If you book with us, the package will include staff (guide and porter). Although hiring a trekking staff or booking an organized tour for the Everest Base Camp trek is not mandatory, doing it individually without experienced staff is not recommended.
Solo trekking to the Everest base camp is possible. However, it’s only recommended for experienced trekkers with prior experience of high-altitude trekking and other treks in Nepal. Otherwise, novice trekkers walking alone may encounter several unexpected problems.
The Everest base camp trek is among the most popular treks in Nepal, and there are well-developed tea houses serving basic to higher-end facilities. So, a “luxury” stay is possible during the Everest base camp trek, but only up to Namche Bazaar.
On these treks, you will spend nights in high-quality teahouses with the finest services and food. The cost of luxury trekking may be high for the EBC trek, but the services you will enjoy there will make you forget the amount you’ve paid. Luxury lodges are available up until Namche Bazaar only, so beyond that, you have to go for basic teahouses.
Tipping the guide and porter is expected and has become a custom to show gratitude to those who have helped you throughout the journey. You can give them a certain amount depending on your choice at the end of the trek.
The Lukla airport, which rests under the lap of Himalayas, experiences frequent weather changes every hour. Even a hint of bad weather can lead to flight delays in Lukla. Sometimes, when the weather worsens, the flight even gets canceled. So, it is good to be mentally ready to face such unforeseen situations and plan your return flight accordingly, keeping some buffer days.
You will encounter some Buddhist monasteries on the trekking trail, and they are open to all. However, the monasteries have certain opening and closing times. So, you can only enter those monasteries during the opening hours. Also, do not forget to take off your shoes before entering the monastery and ask your guide before deciding to enter.
The spring months (March, April, May) are the time for wildflowers and rhododendrons in Nepal, and it is the same in the Everest region.
If you plan your EBC trek in March, you will see the forest shining in flower buds. While in April and May, you will find flowers blooming everywhere on the trekking trail. The views of the forest shining in different colors under the glistening view of the chain of mountains will leave you in awe during the trek.
In many places, it is acceptable to take pictures of the locals, monasteries, chortens, and mani walls. However, some locals you encounter on the trail may not appreciate being photographed. Furthermore, taking photos inside some monasteries is prohibited. Therefore, it is a good idea to research on do’s and don’t in Nepal and ask locals or your guide for permission before taking any pictures.
Although the trek to Everest Base Camp is challenging due to the altitude and uneven terrain, there are no technically difficult sections that require special climbing gear, such as ice axes, harnesses, and crampons. Therefore, you do not need to bring such equipment.
However, if you trek during the winter months, we recommend packing micro spikes for your shoes and gaiters.
Almost all teahouses along the trekking trail offer internet connectivity, and telephone services are available, particularly at lower altitudes. However, these services are not free. You must pay a fee to use the Wi-Fi service.
In general, most teahouses charge USD 5 for Wi-Fi access. Telephone service charges vary depending on the teahouse and the duration of the service.
Nowadays, prepaid Wi-Fi cards are available at teahouses. You can purchase them at Namche and access internet on EBC as you climb higher.
For trekkers who wish to trek to Base Camp and Kala Patthar but do not want to return on foot, we offer an Everest Base Camp helicopter trek package. During this tour, you will walk to Base Camp but return via a direct helicopter flight to Kathmandu. If you become too fatigued or bored to walk back along the same trail from Base Camp, you may choose helicopter fly-back Everest Base Camp trek.
Many people love standing at the Everest Base Camp, which is 5364 meters high. But not everyone wants to undertake a trek that takes around two weeks. Alternatively, some may be physically unfit to join this long walk. For such travelers, there is an option of an Everest Base Camp helicopter tour. With this tour, you can fly over the Khumbu region and land at the base camp or Kala Patthar to catch the finest views of the Himalayan chain.
Yes, you can take your children on this trek to Everest Base Camp. But make sure they are above 12 years of age. Kids below 12 years of age find it difficult to cope with the increasing altitudes. Besides, it is difficult to detect the symptoms of altitude sickness in them as they may not be able to communicate properly or identify what is happening with them.
Trekking also requires physical strength. Therefore, before trekking with your kids, you must prepare them physically and mentally. Additionally, you must spend a few more rest days than the scheduled itinerary to help your kids adjust to the changing weather.
Alternatively, you can choose short treks like Everest View trek AKA Everest Panorama trek if you are trekking with your children.
The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is an easy and convenient way to start the trek. However, this is not the only option for the trek.
Suppose you want to avoid this flight. In that case, you can take a jeep ride from Kathmandu to Salleri and start the trek from there. Or, you can take a bus ride from Kathmandu to Salleri and start the trek from there. These rides will add extra days to your trek but will take you to Lukla without taking the flight.
Most countries’ people can obtain a visa on entry to Nepal. as of 2024, there are some countries where a visa will need to be obtained prior to traveling (you can find a list of these countries at www.immigration.gov.np).
If you want to avoid the sometimes lengthy queues at the airport, you can obtain a visa from the Nepali embassy in your home country before you travel. Please visit the appropriate websites in your country for details.
If you want to obtain a visa on arrival, you will need to fill in a landing card (most airlines provide these before landing in Kathmandu; if not, they will be available in the airport), pay a fee (cost differs depending on your length of stay), and provide a passport photo. Don’t forget to bring one in your hand luggage to present to the immigration officers.
Updated Visa fees for 2024 are as follows:
30 USD for 15 days.
50 USD for 30 days.
125 USD for 90 days.
(information from the Nepal Immigration Department)
We would advise you to bring US dollars to pay for your visa. Most major currencies are usually accepted. Although there is a currency exchange in the airport (if they will not accept your currency), you may not get the best exchange rate. Therefore, it is always a safe bet to bring US dollars.
Yes, they do. We carry a comprehensive first aid kit including medication for Everest Base Camp, and our guides are adequately trained to use it. All of our guides are fully trained, hold the required certification and license.
Any luggage that you do not need to take with you on the Everest Base Camp trek can be kept securely in the hotel in Kathmandu or in the store room of our office.

From the Everest Base Camp, you can see the following mountains: Mount Lhotse (8,516 meters), Mount Pumori (7,161 meters), Mount Lingtren (6,749 meters), Mount Khumbu Yui Lha (also known as Khumbila, 5,761 meters) and Mount Changtse (also known as Tibetan Mountain, 7,543 meters).

Get ready for an amazing adventure!

Overall Trip Rating:
- Verified Purchase By Kevin W December 15, 2025 Thrilling Trek with Trusted TeamWe completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Mosaic Adventure, and everything was well organized from start to finish. From the Lukla flights to daily trekking plans, the trip ran smoothly and felt safe and well managed. The changing landscapes from busy Kathmandu to forests, valleys, and high-altitude terrain made the journey truly memorable. We booked a private trek, and our guide Rudra and porter Dorje were outstanding. Rudra was always attentive and carefully monitored our well-being, while the acclimatization hikes helped us gain confidence at altitude. The trek became more challenging after Dingboche, but every tough day was worth it once we reached Everest Base Camp. The views were incredible throughout. Food was simple but sufficient, and the bakery in Tengboche was a nice surprise. A fantastic experience overall, and we would gladly choose Mosaic Adventure again.
- Verified Purchase By June Dixon December 13, 2025 Heart-Pounding Himalayan HighlightsI chose Mosaic Adventure because of the great reviews, and I’m really glad I did. The team truly knows what they are doing. Our expert guide and porters were professional, friendly, and flexible, and they took us all the way to Everest Base Camp with incredible views and unforgettable memories. Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar, and of course the Lukla flight were the highlights of my trip. Our guide, Madan, was especially inspiring for us women in the group. He handled the different needs and pace of each group member calmly and professionally. Standing at Everest Base Camp felt like touching a piece of history. If you want a trek that pushes you, this is it. And if you want peace of mind, choose the team at Mosaic Adventure.
- Verified Purchase By Colin S December 10, 2025 Perfect from Lukla to EBC and BackMosaic Adventure made my Everest Base Camp dream feel achievable. The Lukla flights were not smooth, but the journey from Lukla to EBC and back was excellent. The team did everything they could to keep everyone comfortable. Our guide Ramesh was a true legend, and the porters were just as great. He was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced on the EBC route. You could feel his confidence every day. The teahouses were simple but the best available at each stop. The rooms were cold, but the heated dining rooms with the stove were a big comfort. Climbing Kala Pattar early in the morning was tough because of the cold, but the 360-degree views made it all worth it. The only thing I did not enjoy was the Lukla flight, which was outside Mosaic Adventure’s control. Overall, it was a 5-star experience from the entire Mosaic Adventure team, with nothing to fault.
- Verified Purchase By Claire J December 9, 2025 Challenging but Rewarding TrekMosaic Adventure handled everything very well on our EBC trek, from the hotel in Kathmandu to our final flight back from Lukla. The itinerary was planned at a good pace and the rest days really helped. The hike to Everest View Hotel on our rest day showed us some amazing scenery. The trails toward the first week of December were peaceful and beautiful. Our guide Rurda and assistant guide Deb were very helpful and even taught us some simple Nepali words. The climb from Dingboche to EBC was the hardest part for me, but our group supported each other and that made a big difference. It was a challenging trip, but also very rewarding. Thank you to the whole team. We hope to join you again for another trek in Nepal.
- Verified Purchase By Andrew C December 7, 2025 Majestic Mountains and Memorable MomentsThe EBC trek was a huge bucket list goal for me. For this trip of a lifetime, I chose Mosaic Adventure based on recommendations, Madhav’s quick responses and their affordable and flexible booking options. I’m truly glad I chose them, because everything went really well. Our guide, Sonam, shared Sherpa stories that made the long walks feel easier. Experiencing stunning scenery while also worrying about altitude was a unique mix of emotions. The teahouses had a warm, friendly vibe and I met so many trekkers from around the world. I was lucky with the weather throughout the trip. Kala Patthar was foggy when we first arrived, which made me a bit sad, but later the sky cleared and we got incredible views. I appreciate that Mosaic Adventure supports local staff and treats them well. I still think about the trek with pride and I really hope I can do another trek with Sonam in the near future.
- Verified Purchase By Devang Desai December 1, 2025 Epic Views and Solid SupportI did the Everest Base Camp trek with Mosaic last month and the whole experience went beyond my expectations. The flight into Lukla was wild. Seeing that tiny runway come closer had my heart racing. Our guide Purna knew every part of the trail and even pointed out animals and plants I would have completely missed on my own. We were a small group of six, which made the trek feel personal and relaxed. The porters were amazing and kept our bags safe the entire way. I only wished drinks were included, but the meals provided were good and we could choose from the lodge menus, which I really appreciated. Purna checked our oxygen levels every day and that made me feel safe at high altitude. Overall, there is nothing more they could have done to make the trip better. I highly recommend Mosaic for the EBC trek.
- Verified Purchase By Marco G November 29, 2025 Pushing Limits in the HimalayasI joined the 14 day Everest Base Camp trek shortly after turning 50. It felt like the right time to take on a personal challenge. Mosaic Adventure made the entire journey smooth and stress free. The acclimatization days helped a lot, especially when I felt slight headaches in the beginning. Our guide and porters were incredible. I truly could not have done this without them. A special thanks to Pralhad, our guide and to Lila our porter, for supporting us on the tougher days. When I was struggling between Lobuche and EBC, Lila even helped carry my daypack. They carry the loads like it is nothing and still manage to joke and keep everyone in good spirits. The overall logistics handled by the Mosaic Adventure team were excellent. I am very grateful for their thoughtful teahouse selections along the trail. The mountain views were amazing, the trek was rewarding and the people of Nepal made the experience even more special. If you are looking for a meaningful challenge and a big personal achievement, this trek is perfect. Do it for the views, for the journey and for the warm people of Nepal.
- Verified Purchase By Ryan E November 26, 2025 Trek of a lifetime to Mt Everest Base CampI just returned from the Everest Base Camp trek with Mosaic Adventure. From the initial enquiry, booking process, post-booking information, to arrival and departure, everything was well taken care of by Mosaic Adventure. The welcome with a flower necklace from the guide and the pre-trek meeting with Madhav, including a question and answer session, made it feel personal and well managed. The trek itself was tougher than I expected, but honestly worth every step. If you are reasonably fit and ok with the altitude, this trek is great. Our guide Ramesh kept us motivated and supported us throughout the journey. The sunrise from Kalapatthar is something I won’t forget and I highly recommend not skipping it like a few people in our group did. They regretted it later after seeing my photos. Mosaic Adventure handled the flights, accommodation, meals, permits and everything else without any problem. I can highly recommend this trek, Mosaic Adventure and its team. I also suggest preparing both physically and mentally, because no amount of training ever feels like enough for this trek.
- Verified Purchase By Phillip D November 22, 2025 A Perfect Family Adventure to Everest Base CampWe completed the EBC trek as a family of four with our kids, aged eleven and thirteen. From the very beginning, the planning was thoughtful and the team patiently addressed all our concerns about altitude, pacing and trekking with young hikers. Our guide, Pralhad, made the journey especially memorable. He kept the kids engaged with games, fun stories and exciting wildlife spotting along the way. The children loved the daily hikes, the stunning scenery and the thrill of finally standing at Base Camp. Watching the sunrise from Kala Patthar was a proud moment for all of us, one we’ll never forget. Meals, porter support and logistics were all handled with families in mind. This experience brought us closer together and sparked a true love for the mountains in our kids. Highly recommended for adventurous families looking for a meaningful journey.
- Verified Purchase By Anna S November 18, 2025 A Life Changing 14 Day Everest Base Camp TrekMy partner and I from New Zealand loved every part of our 14-day EBC trek. Communication before the trip was excellent and the team even helped us arrange a Kathmandu city tour. Our guide, Buddha, kept the mood fun and relaxed. He shared great stories, set a comfortable pace and we felt completely safe with him by our side. Reaching Everest Base Camp and watching the sunrise from Kala Patthar were incredibly emotional moments; and we even got engaged at EBC. The porters were amazing, the teahouses and meals were great and everything felt very safe and well organized. A perfect experience for anyone looking for adventure and genuine connection.
- Verified Purchase By Sue Moore November 13, 2025 Best Adventure of My LifeI did the Everest Base Camp trek as a solo female traveler from the USA and it truly became the best adventure of my life. The team answered all my questions quickly and even arranged a Zoom briefing before I arrived. That call helped me feel confident and well prepared. My guide, Buddha, was patient, kind and very knowledgeable. He helped me pace myself during the climbs, explained the local culture and checked in often to make sure I was doing okay. Reaching Everest Base Camp and watching the sunrise from Kala Patthar felt unreal. The teahouses, food and all the logistics were smooth and I never felt unsafe at any point. This trek was empowering and unforgettable. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about doing it.
- Verified Purchase By Frida O November 11, 2025 Money Well Spent!The trip was worth every cent I paid for it. I had a guide and a porter who carried my 11-kilo bag while I carried just a small daypack. I got full-board meals throughout the trek, nice teahouse accommodation, round-trip Lukla flights and all the necessary permits. The best part was the personal service from locals who know the trail and provide excellent customer care. They even let me rent a sleeping bag, down jacket, duffel bag and a pair of walking poles without charging extra. The trek was amazing and both the guide and porter were fabulous. I made it to EBC with lots of memories, lifelong friends from Nepal and much more. I would love to come back to Nepal and will definitely choose Mosaic Adventure again. I’d also love to be led by our guide, Purna Adhikari!
- Verified Purchase By Gina M November 5, 2025 The Couple Celebrating 10 YearsBooked this 14-day adventure for our 10th anniversary. No kids, no work, just us and the mountains. EBC has been on our bucket list for quite a long time, but we were engaged in family matters for a long while. We finally managed to take some time for the two of us and decided to book it just for the two of us. We did some research and chose Mosaic Adventure based on the communication, online posts and TripAdvisor reviews. It was a good decision and we really had an incredible time. Our guide Sonam was the best, our porter Lila was fantastic and the whole arrangement by Madhav was flawless. Highly recommend Mosaic Adventure if you want to tick EBC off your bucket list. Thank you and we look forward to doing another trek with them soon.
- Verified Purchase By Kristina W October 29, 2025 The Solo Traveler Who Found a FamilyI joined the trek solo and left with nine new friends for life, each one now connected on Facebook and WhatsApp. From the moment our plane landed in Lukla until we flew out, everything was well organized. The first five days took us along rivers, forests, and traditional villages. As we approached Dingboche, the landscape changed completely and looked like something out of a postcard. I did this trek in early October when the weather was challenging because of heavy rain and snow, but our guides Ramesh and Baabu, along with all our porters, took great care of us. Thanks to them, we made it safely to Everest Base Camp. It was freezing because of the heavy snowfall, but the dining halls were warm and cozy with heaters. I really liked the tea houses chosen by Mosaic Adventure. The food and accommodation were lifesaving, and everything was managed very well. The pace was perfect, the guides were amazing, the other trekkers were wonderful, and overall it was a great trip and the best money I have ever spent.
- Verified Purchase By Rob S October 21, 2025 Dream Anniversary Trek to Everest Base CampMy partner and I did the Everest Base Camp trek for our anniversary trip and it was everything we hoped for. The Himalayas were just magical. From the start, Raj from Mosaic Adventure helped us a lot with planning. He answered all our WhatsApp questions about gear, Lukla flights and more. It made everything super easy and stress free. We met our guide, Purna and flew to Lukla together. There we met our porter, Suman. The four of us became a dream team. Purna was calm, friendly and full of knowledge about the Khumbu region. He paced us just right so we could avoid altitude sickness and enjoy the trek. Suman, who’s small but super strong, carried our 20-kg duffel bags like they were nothing and still reached every teahouse before us with a big smile. Highlights: Sunrise at Kala Patthar (5,644 m) – the view of Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse glowing pink was unreal. Tengboche Monastery – monks chanting in the early morning. Acclimatization hikes to Everest View Hotel, Khumjung village and Nagartsang Peak – amazing views of Ama Dablam and the yeti skull at Khumjung Monastery. Namche Bazaar – the vibe there is great! Reality check: Teahouses are pretty basic, so bring a warm sleeping bag. Our Lukla flight was delayed for 3 days, so keep a couple of buffer days in your plan. EBC isn’t an easy trek, but with this team, it felt totally doable and unforgettable. We’re already thinking about our next trek with Mosaic Adventure.
- Verified Purchase By Brenda E October 18, 2025 Journey of Strength and GratitudeCompleted Mosaic’s Everest Base Camp trek feeling invigorated and deeply thankful. The adventure began with the thrilling landing at Lukla’s airstrip and ended in the peaceful stillness of Kala Patthar, offering a breathtaking mix of awe-inspiring beauty and raw challenge. Our guide, Ramesh, joined me for a second trek (did Manaslu few years ago) together, bringing his unmatched expertise. His experience on the trail and inspiring stories of past journeys kept our spirits high. The porters, Lila and Prabin among them, were the true heroes, carrying heavy loads up steep paths and sharing warmth and laughter over card games at night. Standing above the clouds with Everest in view was nothing short of transformative. The teahouse meals, like the delicious honey-ginger cake at the bakery in Tengboche, fueled our journey, while the lodges offered stunning views despite the unbearable cold. Raj in the office ensured our itinerary was perfectly planned, making the experience seamless. Mosaic Adventure delivered an unforgettable blend of heart, grit, and flawless organization, a trek worth every single step.
- Verified Purchase By Larry B October 16, 2025 Dream Come TrueIt was a memorable 14-day journey with 2 extra days in Kathmandu. The trail led us through colorful villages filled with prayer flags, spinning prayer wheels, and intricately carved mani stones. Each turn revealed a view more breathtaking than the last. Our guide, Sonam, was a true gem. He was patient with my slow starts, full of trail wisdom, and always ready with a joke to lift our spirits. Bala, our porter, was equally kind and dependable, always there to help during acclimatization hikes and along the route. We enjoyed masala tea, momos, and dal bhat in teahouses whose simple rooms kept out the howling Himalayan winds just enough. Altitude sickness hit us slightly in Lobuche, but with Sonam's care, some garlic soup, and well timed rest stops, we recovered quickly. A big thank you to Madhav at the Mosaic office for his wonderful support, from helping us with the booking to answering all our questions on WhatsApp throughout our stay in Nepal. Overall, Mosaic Adventure made the entire experience personal, safe, and unforgettable. If you have ever dreamed of standing beneath Everest, go book your spot!
- Verified Purchase By Bill McClain October 9, 2025 Everest Base Camp TrekOur group of 11 went on a 14-day trip to Everest Base Camp with Mosaic Adventure, and it was something we’ll never forget. We walked through misty mornings in Sagarmatha National Park, feeling the pull of the mountains all around. Madan was the perfect guide. He was kind, smart, and always ready with help for sore knees or tired feet. He shared stories about mountains, Sherpas and country, that made the trail feel alive. Our porters, Rabi, Tashi, Lhakpa, and three others whose names we didn’t catch, carried our bags and lifted our mood with their big smiles. The bright blue ice at Base Camp and the wide sky above were just amazing. Teahouse dinners of rice and veggies warmed us up every night, and the wooden lodges felt cozy after long days of walking. The climb above Dingboche was tough, but Madan’s steady pace made it safe and fun. Mosaic Adventure turned strangers into friends. Five stars and a huge thank you!
- Verified Purchase By Pauline B October 8, 2025 Thank you, Mosaic, for helping me reach EBCEverest Base Camp was on my bucket list, and Mosaic Adventure made it happen without a hitch on their 14-day route. Madhav arranged our different arrivals without hesitation, answered our numerous questions, and made us feel well prepared before arriving in Kathmandu. We hiked from the green valleys below Tengboche to the white world above the clouds, and it was humbling. Rudra, our guide, was like a big brother, always watching over us and sharing information about the country and its people. Our porter team, including Leela, whom I personally talked to a lot, was incredible. He helped us take photos and carried our packs with a big smile. The views along the journey, with prayer flags flapping in the wind, will stay with me forever. Meals were simple but tasty, and the accommodation selection was good too. Overall, the Mosaic team felt like family after two weeks. Book them and trek on!
- Verified Purchase By M Sorokin October 4, 2025 Great Himalayan Adventure!I just returned from the 14-day Everest Base Camp trek with Mosaic Adventure, and it was truly unforgettable. The flight into Lukla was both scary and exciting, and from there the journey was mostly uphill. Our guide, Ramesh, was outstanding. He has many years of experience in the Himalayas, and he kept us entertained with his mountain stories while also making sure we walked at a safe pace for the altitude. The views along the way were breathtaking. The towering peaks around us looked like something from a dream. The porters were real heroes as well. Pasang carried my heavy backpack with ease and even shared his snacks with us one afternoon. The food in the teahouses was surprisingly good. Fresh dal bhat and momos were exactly what we needed after a long day of trekking. We stayed in lodges with warm dining areas, which felt wonderful after hiking in the cold. The climb to Kala Patthar was tough because of the thin air, but Ramesh encouraged us at the right moments. Watching the sunrise over Everest from the top made every step worthwhile. Madhav in the office planned our itinerary perfectly before we started the journey. I would recommend Mosaic Adventure to anyone planning the EBC trek. It is truly a five-star experience.
- Verified Purchase By Tricia D October 2, 2025 Trek to EBC and KalapattarAs a solo traveler, I chose Mosaic Adventure because of their great reputation for small group treks and they went beyond my expectations on my 14-day journey to Everest Base Camp and Kalapattar. From the moment I arrived in Kathmandu, the team made everything smooth, including the flights to Lukla. My guide, Sonam, was amazing. He was always attentive, set the right pace for acclimatization and shared stories about the local communities. Highlights of the trek included Lukla Airport, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, the view from Nangkartshang, Kalapattar and reaching Everest Base Camp. I went in September when the trails were less crowded, which gave a peaceful feeling surrounded by stunning landscapes. Even with a bit of rain and the challenges of high altitude, Sonam’s experience made the journey safe and manageable. The company’s focus on safety and sustainability really stood out. If you are looking for a genuine, reliable, and worth-the-money trekking company, Mosaic Adventure is the best choice!

He made sure we were safe and told us cool stories about the people and the Himalayas. The trek was tough, especially the long walks and high altitude, but Ramesh helped us take breaks and checked our oxygen levels every day. I loved seeing the views from Kala Patthar, it was like a postcard! The teahouses were comfortable. Ramesh made the trip fun by teaching us some Nepali words. I’d totally recommend this trek with Ramesh to anyone who loves adventure!
- Verified Purchase By Linda Beth September 25, 2025 Our Unforgettable Everest Base Camp TrekWe just finished the Everest Base Camp trek with our family of four, including our two teenage kids and it was the best trek we’ve ever done! During the planning phase, Madhav from Mosaic Adventure helped us create a customized itinerary tailored to our family’s needs. He gave great suggestions to make the trip safe, ensure proper acclimatization and enhance our experience, setting us up to reach EBC successfully. Our guide, Purna, was amazing! He was always one step ahead, keeping the kids entertained with snacks and fun stories that had them laughing. We trekked in September, so some days were rainy and the views weren’t always clear, but we still caught incredible glimpses of the Himalayas and made it to EBC. My husband and one of our sons also climbed Kala Patthar and raved about the stunning sunrise over the mountains. The teahouses were cozy and comfortable, and the food was solid, everyone loved the dal bhat! Our two porters were absolute champs, carrying our gear while chatting about their villages, which added such a personal touch. Madhav and the Mosaic Adventure team handled everything smoothly, from flights to permits, so we didn’t have to stress about a thing. It felt like a true adventure without any hassle. Purna’s energy kept it fun for all ages and we’re already looking forward to booking with them again!
- Verified Purchase By Andey K September 22, 2025 Highly recommend them to anyone chasing that mountain highIt was our first multi-day hike of this length and our very first big trek and we chose the Everest Base Camp Trek with Mosaic Adventure. Honestly, it changed me forever. Over 14 days, we went from the busy streets of Kathmandu to the quiet trails of the high Himalayas. Our guide, Pralhad, made everything feel easier. He has this calm energy that keeps you steady, always sharing stories about the places we passed. He was by our side the whole time and always seemed to know what to do. You can tell he is really experienced. The porters were amazing. Om carried our heavy bags up those steep switchbacks and still greeted us with a big smile every morning. The sunrise view from Kalapatthar was magical, with Everest peeking through the clouds. It was a moment I will never forget. Food and teahouse stays were much better than I expected. Nights were freezing, but the warm dining rooms were so cozy we often stayed there late instead of going to our rooms. Raj planned the whole trip so well, with an itinerary that matched our group’s pace. Mosaic made my dream trek come true. I would highly recommend them to anyone chasing that mountain high.
- Verified Purchase By Gabriel Rossi September 6, 2025 A Life-Changing Adventure with Great SupportMy trek to Everest Base Camp with Mosaic Adventure in August 2025 was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we landed in Kathmandu, our guide Purna made us feel completely taken care of. The pre-trek briefing given by owner Madhav was thorough, covering safety and what to expect, which eased my nerves as a first-time trekker. The journey from Lukla to EBC was tough but rewarding. The logistics were seamless, even when our Lukla flight was delayed due to weather. Madhav quickly arranged alternative plans, keeping us informed and stress free. The tea houses were basic but cozy, and our porter Sere was a superhero, carrying our gear with a smile. This trek pushed me physically and mentally, but the support from Purna and the team made it achievable. I am already recommending this to friends. Tip: Choose the right season. I chose August as it was the only time available for me, although Madhav had suggested in his emails during my pre-trek inquiries to come in spring or autumn and to avoid the monsoon. I still made it to the top and achieved my dream, even though I was not able to see the spectacular views often shown in pictures from the EBC trek.
- Verified Purchase By Tom Cagle September 5, 2025 Ticked the Bucket-List AdventureTrekking to Everest Base Camp was a dream come true! The 14-day itinerary with Mosaic Adventure was well organized, and our guide Ramesh was a gem. He was always cheerful and full of stories about culture, people, and adventure. The trail was stunning, with prayer flags fluttering against Himalayas and lodges offering warm dal bhat. The acclimatization days in Namche and Dingboche were especially important for adjusting to the altitude. The only real hassle was the flight from Ramechhap to Lukla. Due to cancellations, we had to take a five-hour drive to Ramechhap, which was exhausting. Madhav, the owner, and his team managed everything with jeeps and support, but it still threw our schedule off. Our porters were amazing, but a word of advice, pack light, otherwise you will regret the extra weight. Despite the bumps, including a one day delay because of flight cancellations and the drive to Ramechhap, finally reaching Base Camp felt like conquering the world. I would do it again in a heartbeat and will definitely choose Ramesh to lead me!
- Verified Purchase By Rena G September 5, 2025 Special Trek of a LifetimeMosaic Adventure made our EBC Trek an extraordinary experience. Organizer Madhav was exceptional, providing clear communication and a tailored itinerary that matched the pace of our small group of 5. From airport pickup to the trek itself, with an amazing guide and the flexibility we needed, every detail was perfectly handled. Our guide, Ramesh, was a true highlight. His calm and caring nature, combined with his deep knowledge of the Everest region, made the trek both enjoyable and educational. He shared insights about the people, culture, and traditions, and always pointed out the best spots for photos. His encouragement during the early morning Kalapatthar hike rewarded us with breathtaking views of Everest and the entire Himalayan range. Our porters, Laxman, Sonam, and Prem, were outstanding. They carried our gear with ease and supported us throughout the trek, from start to finish. The journey through Sagarmatha National Park, with its beautiful landscapes and awe-inspiring views, left us amazed. Mosaic Adventure’s organization, Ramesh’s expertise, and the dedication of the porters made this trek unforgettable. I highly recommend Team Mosaic to anyone planning to trek to Everest Base Camp or explore Nepal.
- Verified Purchase By Steven B August 9, 2025 Challenging but Worth Every StepI have done several treks before, but the Everest Base Camp trek was on a completely different level. Mosaic Adventure planned the itinerary very well, with acclimatization days that made it easier to adjust to the altitude. Getting the flight to Lukla was a challenge, but once we did, the landing at that tiny airstrip felt like something out of a movie. The trails were stunning, especially the climb to Namche Bazaar where I saw Everest for the first time. The guides were excellent, checking our oxygen levels daily and keeping the group in good spirits. This trek tested me physically and mentally, but standing at Base Camp and seeing Everest up close made every step worthwhile. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys active adventures.
- Verified Purchase By Carl Dennis August 4, 2025 Perfect AdventureThis trek was everything I had hoped for and more. Madhav’s organization was excellent, from smooth airport transfers to the detailed pre-trek briefing. Our hotel in Thamel was comfortable, and the lively market nearby was perfect for exploring and buying souvenirs. The trek was both challenging and rewarding. With a group of 11, we had two guides, Buddha and Prem, who were patient and supportive throughout the journey. The porters were incredible, carrying our gear with ease. The views from Kala Patar were beyond anything I could have imagined, and the photos do not do them justice. Visiting Tengboche Monastery and enjoying its warm bakery felt like a well-earned treat after a long day of walking. Reaching Base Camp was an emotional moment. My advice to future trekkers is to pack light but bring warm clothing for the higher altitudes. The guesthouses were more comfortable than I expected given their remote locations. This trip was a wonderful mix of adventure, culture, and personal growth. I am already looking forward to my next trek with the Mosaic Adventure team.
- Verified Purchase By Bryan Lozano July 31, 2025 A Life-Changing AdventureThe Everest Base Camp trek with the Mosaic Adventure team was truly extraordinary. From the moment we arrived in Kathmandu, everything was well organized. The hotel was cozy, the airport pickup went smoothly, and the trek briefing was clear and helpful. The trek itself was breathtaking. Walking through Sherpa villages, crossing suspension bridges, and visiting the bakery at Tengboche Monastery (those pastries were unforgettable) made each day special. Madhav, who coordinated everything, and our guide Pralhad were both incredibly knowledgeable. Pralhad made sure we acclimatized well and always felt safe. Reaching Everest Base Camp was a surreal experience. The energy practice there felt deeply moving, as if we were connecting with the spirit of the mountain. Watching the sunrise at Kala Patar was the perfect ending, with views of Everest that took our breath away. The only challenge was the basic accommodation in Lobuche and Gorakshep, but we understand this is part of trekking in the mountains. For anyone with a reasonable level of fitness who wants to truly feel the heart of the Himalayas, I would highly recommend this trip. Thank you, Madhav and Pralhad, for an adventure I will remember for a lifetime.

- Verified Purchase By Sarah Shaw July 13, 2025 Exceptional JourneyI had wanted to do the Everest Base Camp trek for years, and I preferred to go with a local agency. After reaching out to multiple companies online, I found Mosaic Adventure to be the best choice. Raj got in touch with me over WhatsApp after my first inquiry and helped set everything up right away. I joined their 14-day trek to Everest Base Camp and added a couple of extra nights in Kathmandu before and after the trip. From the moment I landed, they made me feel welcome. They welcomed me with a flower garland at the airport and took me to Kathmandu Suite Home, a fantastic hotel that was part of the package. The trek to Everest Base Camp turned out to be unlike anything I’ve ever done, and I made it all the way there. Our guide Ramesh helped us a lot after we reached Lobuche where the altitude began to hit hard. His support mattered to me and the rest of the group when things got more challenging. I decided not to join the Kalapatthar hike myself, but if you get the chance, you should do it. The others in our group went, and the photos they brought back looked amazing. The weather stayed clear, the scenery was beyond beautiful, and both the guide and porters stayed supportive at every stage. The whole trip was arranged - it was the best journey I’ve taken so far. If you’re thinking about trekking in Nepal, I can’t recommend the EBC trek and Mosaic Adventure enough.
- Verified Purchase By Vicky T July 6, 2025 Bistaarai Bistaarai to Base Camp2 of us trekked to Everest Base Camp starting in late June and we’ve just completed the journey and returned to Kathmandu. We only have positive things to say about everyone at Mosaic Adventure. From the initial planning stages with Madhav, to the actual trek with our guide Manoj and porter Kaji, the entire Mosaic Adventure team was incredibly helpful and supportive. Communication was clear and prompt throughout the process. A special thanks to Manoj and Kaji, without them we definitely wouldn't have made it to base camp! From setting the pace (bistaarai, bistaarai) to constantly checking our vitals, their care and guidance played a big part in our success. We did the trek during Nepal’s monsoon season, and aside from a one-day delay due to a flight cancellation at Lukla (caused by low visibility), our travel plans went smoothly. There was very little rain, just some occasional drizzle, and because we were well-prepared, the weather posed no real issues. You can 100% rely on the team at Mosaic Adventure. They went above and beyond with their kindness and support, and they’ll take care of you every step of the way to EBC and back.

Right from my first email, things worked out . Their office staff answered all my questions and made booking super easy. They explained everything and were so helpful even before we started the trek. Our guide Buddha, stood out as an incredible expert. He had deep understanding of the area, its traditions, and the mountains, which made the trip much richer. He paid attention to every little detail to keep us safe and comfortable along the way. At key places like Dingboche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep, he watched us to check how well we handled the altitude. The trek left an impact we’ll never forget. We walked over swaying suspension bridges and visited legendary places such as Tengboche Monastery. Reaching Everest Base Camp itself felt surreal as we took in the breathtaking view of the Khumbu Icefall. We stayed in clean and cozy places both in Kathmandu and on the trail. The porters worked hard and stayed upbeat, which made the trip more fun. Mosaic Adventure took care of everything so well that we could focus on enjoying the experience. I suggest Mosaic Adventure if you want a dependable and well organized trekking company for Everest Base Camp. Their team is professional and always willing to help.

- Verified Purchase By Joachim N June 20, 2025 Highly Recommended!Trekking to Everest Base Camp with Mosaic Adventure was an unforgettable and life changing experience. Reaching the EBC marker was incredibly emotional, it's one of those moments where words fall short. We chose Mosaic based on a friend’s glowing recommendation and they exceeded all expectations. From the moment we landed in Kathmandu, we were impressed by the warm hospitality. Even though we arrived a day early and stayed a couple of days after the trek, Madhav from the Mosaic team went above and beyond to arrange our airport pickups and drop offs outside the scheduled dates, something most companies wouldn't do. We were greeted with a traditional Nepali flower garland upon arrival and given a heartfelt farewell with a scarf at the end. It’s these small, genuine touches that made a big impact. The entire trip was extremely well organized and seamless from start to finish. Our trekking guide, Madan, was exceptional, knowledgeable, kind and truly passionate about his work. He checked in with us regularly, encouraged us on tough days and made sure every part of the journey was safe and enjoyable. We developed a strong bond with him and felt fully supported throughout the trek. We also enjoyed learning a few basic Nepali phrases like “Namaste,” “Tapailai kasto chha?” and “Ma bhat khanchu” which added a fun cultural element to the experience. This Everest Base Camp trek was everything we hoped for and more. If you’re searching for a trusted trekking company in Nepal that truly listens to your needs and delivers an authentic, well supported Himalayan adventure, look no further than Mosaic Adventure. We left Nepal with full hearts and incredible memories. Highly recommend Mosaic Adventure for anyone planning their EBC journey!
- Verified Purchase By Angela Allen June 7, 2025 Unforgettable Trek, but Prepare for ChallengesI completed the Everest Base Camp Trek, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Nima, was knowledgeable and kept our small group of three women motivated, especially during the tough stretch from Lobuche to EBC and Kala Patthar. The scenery was breathtaking, and the sunrise from Kala Patthar was a highlight, with Everest glowing in the distance. We had specifically requested a female guide, and Nima, the only female guide at Mosaic Adventure, was assigned to lead us. She was excellent, and the entire Mosaic Adventure team handled everything professionally, from our arrival to our departure. That said, the trek is not easy. We began to feel the effects of altitude around Dingboche, but Nima’s advice and encouragement helped us push through. After returning from EBC and Kala Patthar, I became unwell and had to be flown back to Kathmandu by helicopter. To my surprise, Raj, the owner, was at the hospital to check on me and make sure I was okay. This thoughtful gesture meant a lot and showed genuine care from the company. Overall, the trek was worth every step, as long as you are prepared with good boots, determination, and a sense of adventure!
- Verified Purchase By Elena Long June 4, 2025 Phenomenal Experience!Our Everest Base Camp trek was absolutely amazing! I’m excited to highly recommend the Mosaic Adventure team, not just for the EBC trek, but also for other trips in Nepal like the Kathmandu city tour and Chitwan safari. We spent three weeks in Nepal, including a tour of Kathmandu, the Everest Base Camp trek and a safari in Chitwan. From the moment we arrived at the airport to our final transfer back, everything was smooth and well organized. A special shoutout to our guide, Sonam Lama, for his constant support, focus on safety and for helping us , even as lazy trekkers, reach the top at base camp. Thank you to the whole Mosaic team!

The EBC trek is an incredible journey, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was a fantastic adventure filled with breathtaking scenery and the chance to meet some of the kindest people on earth. Our guides were amazing! Friendly, helpful and professional. We couldn't have done it without the support of the Mosaic Adventure team.

- Verified Purchase By Aerin D May 17, 2025 Life Changing ExperienceEmbarking on the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek with Mosaic Adventure was truly life-changing—an experience that will stay with me forever. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking scenery and the spirit of adventure. Our guide, Purna, was absolutely incredible. He wasn’t just knowledgeable about the trails and the local culture; he was genuinely understanding of everyone’s needs. Whether it was adjusting the pace, offering encouragement, or sharing a laugh during the more challenging moments, Pna made the journey unforgettable. His kindness and sense of humour kept our spirits high, and his expertise ensured we always felt safe and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Mosaic Adventure to anyone considering the EBC trek. The professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail they provide are unmatched. If you’re looking for a trekking experience that’s seamless, memorable, and filled with moments of joy and connection, this is it. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Mosaic Adventure, for the adventure of a lifetime!
- Verified Purchase By Zachary Clark May 13, 2025 Great Experience with Mosaic on Everest Base Camp TrekI recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Mosaic Adventure and it was a fantastic experience. Raj in the office was super responsive on WhatsApp and made the whole booking process smooth and stress free. Our EBC guide, Pralhad, was knowledgeable, supportive and easy to connect with. He really made the trek enjoyable while keeping us safe and well informed. The porters were friendly and strong, the teahouses were comfortable and the food was better than expected. We had some challenging moments with altitude and weather, but the team handled everything calmly and professionally. If you're planning to trek to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, I highly recommend Mosaic Adventure. Huge thanks to Raj, Pralhad and the whole crew for making it such a memorable trip.
- Verified Purchase By Jeremy W May 11, 2025 Simply the BEST!The team at Mozaic are simply outstanding. From first contact to completion of the trek, Madhav organised everything superbly. We are a couple with combined age of 125, and wanted a tailored trek, not in a group, with maximum comfort. Pralhad was our guide and he became mentor, friend, doctor, and is just a real treasure. We recommend asking for him, he is the BEST! Our Sherpa was Luxman, a true gent, keeping us company along the trail, and always having our bags there ahead of us. This trek is very tough, and without Pralhad, I would not have completed it. My wife bossed it, I survived it. Mozaic are so experienced they simply know how to make it happen for you. We had to make changes on the fly, e.g. plane and car to helicopter return and nothing phased this team, all done without fuss and at the most economic way possible. If you want to do this trek, go no further than Mozaic. Simply the BEST!
- Verified Purchase By Milton D May 6, 2025 Wonderful trip to EBCMy daughter and I had a wonderful trip to EBC. Everything was organised and co-ordinated perfectly. Our guide -Purna was an absolute delight and caring. Very informative with a great sense of humor. Fully recommend Mosaic
- Verified Purchase By R. M. Smith May 4, 2025 A dream come true!Reaching Everest Base Camp has always been a dream of mine and now it’s finally fulfilled! I'm incredibly grateful to Madhav, Raj, Sonam and Lhakpa for making this journey possible. I chose to go with Mosaic Adventure and I’m so happy I did. All 7 of us made it to base camp and shared an unforgettable adventure. A huge thanks to our amazing guide Sonam and assistant Lhakpa, we truly couldn't have done it without you. This was my first time trekking at such high altitude. It was definitely a challenge, but I pushed through and came back with a heart full of memories and a sense of achievement. Thank you to the entire Mosaic Adventure team for your support and care. You helped turn my dream into reality!
- Verified Purchase By Laura M May 3, 2025 Once in a Lifetime JourneyDid the Mt. EBC trek in April 2025 and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our guide Madan was excellent. He was calm, knowledgeable, experienced and always making sure we were safe and enjoying the journey. From the green forests around Phakding to the rocky trails above Dingbuche, the landscape kept changing and kept us amazed every day. Reaching Everest Base Camp at 5,364m felt surreal, cold, windy and emotional in the best way. Madan paced the trek perfectly, always reminding us to go slow and stay hydrated. The teahouses were basic but comfortable and the views were worth every step. Big thanks to the whole team for organizing everything so smoothly. If you’re thinking about trekking in Nepal, I highly recommend the EBC route, and ask for Madan if you can!
- Verified Purchase By Clair T May 1, 2025 Our Everest Base Camp Trek Was an Incredible ExperienceWe did our first trek in Nepal and it was an amazing experience with a great local company. We compared several international and local companies before finally choosing Mosaic Adventure. The pre travel information was detailed and helpful. Once we arrived in Kathmandu, the pre trek briefing was well organized. We got to meet our guide, Ngima and also met Madhav, whom we had been communicating with for a while. It was great to have a face to face meeting to answer our last minute questions before starting the big adventure. At the start, we couldn’t fly to Lukla due to bad weather. Ngima quickly suggested an alternative plan to drive to Phaplu/Surke and begin our journey from there. Since the weather remained poor for three consecutive days, taking the jeep turned out to be a smart decision. Thanks to Madhav for swiftly organizing the ride at the last minute. Because of this change, we lost one trekking day and had to skip the acclimatization day in Dingboche. Still, Madhav managed the revised logistics seamlessly even during the busy season and we all successfully reached Everest Base Camp, even without the extra acclimatization day. It all worked out well, thanks to the amazing support from our guide and the hardworking porters of Mosaic Adventure. A big thank you to Ngima, Madhav and the incredible porters. We hope to return to Nepal for another trek soon!
- Verified Purchase By Chris D April 29, 2025 Incredible Everest Base Camp Experience!We had an unforgettable trek to Everest Base Camp! Our guide, Madan, was experienced, knowledgeable and responsible (yet not afraid to challenge us when it counted). After all, it is an adventure trek! Everything was top notch from the teahouse selection and food to the seamless transfers. Huge thanks to Madhav for being incredibly responsive and helpful throughout. Can’t wait for our next adventure with Madan and Mosaic Adventure!
- Verified Purchase By Cheyenne Kiefer April 26, 2025 Trek is hard, but possible with the right peopleLet’s be real, Everest Base Camp Trek is tough. But with Sonam, our guide and the amazing team of porters, it felt like a privilege. Even when we were struggling to catch our breath on steep trails, our guide and porters sang folk songs and laughed, their energy was contagious. It all started with the flight to Lukla, where you’ll see hundreds of people trying to get on limited flights. Then on the trail, with only a few teahouses available and the challenge of finding rooms, everything was seamlessly handled by Mosaic Adventure. I can’t even imagine managing all that logistics on my own. During the trek, Sonam was incredibly supportive, along with our strong porters, especially Dhan and Laksman. Honestly, the trek is so tough, I can’t imagine doing it without Sonam and the team. This wasn’t just a trek! It was a masterclass, stunning views, amazing people and so many unforgettable moments along the way. Book the EBC trek, then thank me later!
- Verified Purchase By Alex from Canada April 24, 2025 Trekking to EBC with Mosaic AdventureChoosing Mosaic Adventure for my Everest Base Camp trek was easily one of the best travel decisions I’ve ever made. From my first conversation with Madhav, I could tell this was a team that truly cared. Everything was handled smoothly, from permits and flights to the teahouses along the way. The heart of the experience, though, was hiking with Buddha Lama and Leela. Buddha was more than just a guide, he was like our mountain mentor. Calm, thoughtful and full of stories about the region and people, he made sure we were always safe, especially as we got higher. He checked in often about how we were adjusting to the altitude and was flexible when we needed to slow down or take a longer rest. His love for the Himalayas really shows. And Leela… what a powerhouse! Carrying our duffel bags day after day without a single complaint and somehow still managing to be the most cheerful person in the group. His energy and kindness kept us going when the climbs got tough. Seeing him smile at the top of a steep pass was all the motivation we needed to keep pushing. The trek itself was beyond beautiful, mountains, prayer flags fluttering in the wind, yak caravans and peaceful monasteries. Sunrise at Kalapatthar was surreal and sharing that moment with this amazing crew made it even more special. If you're on the fence about which company to go with, stop thinking and go with Mosaic. They know what they’re doing and they do it with heart. Huge thanks to Madhav, Buddha and Leela for making this journey one I’ll never forget.
- Verified Purchase By Cecilia V April 20, 2025 Everest with Heart (and a Lot of Laughter)I’ve done treks in the Langtang and Annapurna regions before, but the EBC trek felt different. From day one, the Mosaic Adventure team prioritized people over checklists. Our guide, Buddha, was amazing. He shared fascinating stories, cultural insights and always had a cheerful smile. He was supportive, helpful and genuinely took care of everyone. The acclimatization days were thoughtfully planned and took us to stunning viewpoints. Evenings at the teahouses were fun, filled with card games and warm meals from the local kitchen. The final push to Kala Patthar was tough, especially with the early morning start, but it was absolutely worth it. Pure joy. Mosaic Adventure truly understands the human side of trekking. Highly recommended!
- Verified Purchase By Paul April 15, 2025 Excellent experience!It was one of the best guided treks I have ever experienced. The team members and guides were amazing. Our guides, Manoj and Lhakpa, played a key role in the successful completion of our trek to EBC. They were knowledgeable and professional throughout. Out of 9 people, everyone made it to EBC and 4 of us went on the Kalapatthar sunrise tour. It was an amazing, life changing experience that everyone should do at least once in their lifetime.
- Verified Purchase By Fiona April 12, 2025 Easy to Book, Plan and Enjoy the EBC TrekWe found Mosaic Adventure’s website super helpful and the booking process was simple and straightforward. Everything went smoothly online with instant confirmation, no complications at all. After we paid the 20% deposit, Madhav reached out to request the necessary documents and offered to connect via WhatsApp. That made communication so easy and efficient, we got all the info we needed right away. Madhav was responsive, polite and clearly very knowledgeable. It’s such a bonus to get advice from someone who’s actually been on the trek themselves. Thanks to his suggestion, we added buffer days after the trek, which turned out to be a lifesaver when our flight from Lukla got cancelled for two days. On the trek itself, our guide Manu was truly outstanding. He anticipated our needs, spoke good English and brought valuable experience from guiding many EBC treks. Manu is a real asset to Mosaic Adventure. Overall, it was an amazing experience with Mosaic and we’re already thinking about doing the Manaslu Circuit with them next!

He ensured that every detail was taken care of and that each member of our group made it safely to Base Camp. Despite some unfavorable weather conditions and the cold temperatures, the experience was truly unforgettable. The scenery along the route was breathtaking.

We’re already hoping to return for another trek!

From start to finish, their coordination was on point—like a well-oiled squad! Communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, making us feel supported every step of the way. The team was always on time and handled everything with sincerity and professionalism. They set the right expectations, which, when you're breathing thin air and questioning life choices at 5,000 meters, really matters. The accommodations and restaurants along the trail were thoughtfully chosen—cozy, and just what we needed after long hikes. Huge shoutout to our incredibly kind and attentive guide, Pralhad, and the ever-helpful porters who were the silent heroes of the trip. And Raj—the man behind it all—was approachable, lightning-fast with responses, and a goldmine of guidance. Mosaic Adventure didn’t just guide us to Base Camp—they made the journey unforgettable.

He ensured we stayed safe, comfortable, and well-informed throughout the trek, sharing valuable tips and advice that helped us all complete the journey while thoroughly enjoying every moment. The camaraderie we experienced in the tea houses and along the trail was unmatched. Pralhad and his team went above and beyond to share fascinating local knowledge and stories, enriching the entire experience. What stood out most was the honesty and transparency—we were never given unrealistic expectations and were always prepared for the challenges ahead, which made all the difference.

I wholeheartedly recommend this trek to everyone. The teahouse selection was excellent, the food was delicious and the people in our group were lovely. The entire team of guides and porters was outstanding, and all of us in the group made it to Base Camp, largely thanks to the support of these hardworking and dedicated team members. The guides maintained a good pace during the hike and did their best to keep the group together. Madhav was incredibly helpful and responsive during the planning phase. He went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly. It was a truly wonderful experience with a fantastic company.
- Verified Purchase By Freddy H April 7, 2025 More than a trekA totally unexpected, incredible experience that we will never forget. The trip exceeded our expectations in terms of accommodation, meals, guides and porters, difficulty level and more. The trek was well organized and carefully planned, allowing us to acclimatize properly and soak in some of the most stunning places on the planet. When I lagged behind on the steep climb to Lobuche, one of the porters stayed with me, cracking jokes to keep my spirits up. Even with a heavy load in his backpack, he was right there eager to lift my energy. Hats off! Mosaic Adventure has a lot of experience organizing this trek locally and I truly think they are the right people to go with! The guide/porters they assigned and the teahouses they chose along the way, made it a fantastic trip.
- Verified Purchase By Anika Schmidt April 3, 2025 Just wow!I previously trekked with Mosaic and did the Everest View Trek, which goes to Tyangboche Monastery. This time, I had more time to see Everest much closer than before. For the second time with Mosaic, I booked the EBC trek and it lived up to all my expectations. There are 8 people in our group, mostly individuals and couples, led by our guides Rudra and Lhakpa. Rudra was our main guide, while Tashi worked as an assistant. After 11 days on the trail, they felt more like family. Since it was a small group, everyone could walk at their own pace, receive great service from the team and learn more about the people and culture of Nepal through our guides. Reaching Base Camp was a dream come true, but the real magic was enjoying the views along the way and laughing with our group. And Kala Patthar at sunrise? Tears. Actual tears. Mosaic Adventure nailed every detail, even when our Lukla flight got delayed, and handled it smoothly. To truly enjoy the trip, don’t think of it as a vacation. It’s a life lesson in resilience and community, learned through 11 days of trekking from Lukla to EBC and back.
- Verified Purchase By Rokun M April 2, 2025 Fantastic trekThank you, Mosaic Adventure, for making my bucket list trek to Everest Base Camp truly unforgettable.

- Verified Purchase By Mohammed Naeem April 1, 2025 Incredible Everest Base Camp Trek!The EBC trek was an incredible experience that exceeded all our expectations. The journey through the Himalayas was filled with breathtaking views, challenging yet rewarding hikes and unforgettable moments shared with a fantastic group of fellow trekkers, our small group had just five members. From lowland forests to towering peaks, every step brought new wonders. Standing at Everest Base Camp with a sense of accomplishment after days of trekking at high altitude was overwhelming. Another highlight was witnessing the sunrise over Everest from Kala Patthar. Though only two out of five in our group made the climb, it was truly a sight to remember! Our guide, Purna, made the trip even more special. His knowledge of the mountains, warm personality and constant encouragement kept the group motivated. He was always there to help. If you’re thinking about trekking to Everest Base Camp, stop hesitating and just do it! With the right mindset and a great team like Mosaic Adventure, this will be the adventure of a lifetime.
- Verified Purchase By Mark Kiely March 29, 2025 Incredible trek to EBC with Mosaic Adventure!I booked this once-in-a-lifetime bucket list trek with Mosaic Adventure, as recommended by a colleague and it went perfectly. Our guide Rudra, was phenomenal and bonding with fellow trekkers made the experience even more special. Our group consisted of 6 people and we all connected well during the 12-day journey to Everest Base Camp and back. Rudra was exceptional, keeping us safe, motivated and energized throughout. Teahouse accommodations along the trek aren’t luxurious, so if you’re hardy enough to tolerate cold mornings and evenings, book this trek without hesitation. But if luxury is a priority, consider other options. Thanks to Rudra’s expert pacing and acclimatization strategy (climbing high and sleeping low), all of us reached Base Camp without needing Diamox. The trek is challenging, unforgettable and something everyone should experience once in their lifetime. Do it with Mosaic Adventure and guide Rudra; you definitely won’t regret it!
- Verified Purchase By Ken Pascoe March 27, 2025 Don’t call it a vacation - it pushed my limitsEBC trek isn’t a “holiday” It’s a full on challenge! But holy wow, those views?! Nepal’s raw beauty is next level. Met some wonderful people along the way and our guide Ramesh was the key, super attentive, always making sure we weren’t dying (lol). Teahouses were basic but did the job. Altitude? Yeah, it kicked my butt-pack meds! Trails can get busy, but the energy’s awesome. Big props to Madhav from Mosaic during booking! Dude replied lightning fast to every question I had. That’s why we picked them over a zillion other companies. Yeah, it’s pricier than some, but you get what you pay for (and then some). These guys have 15 years in the game and still crush it. If you’re crazy enough to tackle EBC, go with Mosaic Adventure and request Ramesh. 10/10 would suffer again for the views
- Verified Purchase By Rochelle Thorpe March 22, 2025 Successfully Reached EBC With Team MosaicMy two friends and I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Mosaic Adventure, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the initial inquiry to the final day in Kathmandu, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Raj, the owner, made booking easy and was always quick to respond. The hotel we stayed at before and after the trek was clean, cozy and served delicious food. It's a perfect base before hitting the trail. Our guide, Ramesh, was outstanding. He set a comfortable pace, checked our vitals each evening, and ensured our safety and comfort at every step. His knowledge of the mountains, attention to detail, and care for each member of the group stood out. The porters were equally impressive. They are always ahead of us, carrying heavy loads with smiles on their faces. Their strength and dedication were humbling and inspiring. Reaching the Everest Base Camp marker was an unforgettable moment, made even more special by the incredible team supporting us. We can’t thank Mosaic Adventure enough. If you're planning a trek in Nepal, this is the company to trust.
- Verified Purchase By Jordan A March 22, 2025 Incredible Everest Experience with a Local LegendWe did the Everest Base Camp trek and it was one of those once-in-a-lifetime kind of trips. Everything went so smoothly and that was thanks to our amazing guide, Madan. From day one, he made us feel comfortable, prepared and excited for the journey ahead. Madan really knows the mountains. He was always checking on us, reminding us to stay hydrated, walk slowly and enjoy the views. When one of our friends had a bit of altitude sickness in Dingboche, he handled it calmly and made sure we had enough time to rest and recover. His experience really made a difference. The trek itself was incredible. Every day brought something new. From the flight into Lukla to walking through little villages and crossing suspension bridges with prayer flags everywhere, it all felt like a dream. The views of Ama Dablam, Pumori, Lhotse and of course Everest were just breathtaking. We stayed in tea houses along the way. Some were basic but all were warm and welcoming. The food was actually better than we expected. Lots of dal bhat, noodles, eggs and hot ginger tea. It felt so good to sit around the stove in the evening and chat with other trekkers. Reaching Everest Base Camp was emotional for all of us. The last stretch from Lobuche was cold and tough but totally worth it when we saw the Khumbu Icefall and the famous base camp marker. It was a mix of exhaustion and pure happiness. Huge thanks to Madan and the rest of the support team. The porters were incredible too, always smiling and helping out without hesitation. If you’re thinking about doing this trek, I highly recommend it. Just go with someone experienced like Madan and you’ll be in good hands.

Reaching base camp felt like a huge achievement after struggling above 3500 meters for a few days, but it was worth every push. The views from Kala Patthar were absolutely breathtaking. Our guide, Rudra, played a key role in our success. He was amazing, more like a close friend who was always there to help, especially with altitude challenges. The trail was busy, but honestly, when you’re surrounded by the Himalayas, it doesn’t even matter. Every moment was incredible... I’d go back in a heartbeat!
- Verified Purchase By Bella R March 20, 2025 Hard but EpicThis trek to EBC was tough, but I’m so glad I did it. The scenery was incredible... lush forests one day, rocky terrain the next and then suddenly, you’re surrounded by the Himalayas.

And seriously, pack warm clothes...it really gets freezing up there!

- Verified Purchase By Alex Weare March 10, 2025 An incredible journey – unforgettable EBC experience!We recently returned from an epic trek to Everest Base Camp and it truly exceeded our expectations. Rudra, our tour leader, was phenomenal. His expertise, strength and decisive guidance made all the difference during this challenging trek. The porters were outstanding; every bit of praise they’ve received in other reviews is completely justified, as their dedication to our comfort was remarkable. The trip was impeccably organized and it was heartwarming to see so many friendships develop along the way. Everything was seamlessly arranged, which made the adventure even more enjoyable. The variety and abundance of food options ensured that everyone enjoyed satisfying meals throughout the journey. There are plenty of places to buy snacks along the trail, so you don't need to pack too much. The flight to Lukla has a 15-kilo weight limit, so pack wisely. I wholeheartedly recommend this trek 100%. While Mosaic Adventure might be a bit pricier than some other local operators, the exceptional quality and support you receive make it worth every penny. Thank you all for an adventure I’ll never forget!
- Verified Purchase By David Cooper March 8, 2025 The most amazing and challenging trip we’ve ever had!My wife and I had always wanted to do the Everest Base Camp trek and we decided to make it happen for our 15th anniversary. We researched various companies, both Nepalese and international, to find the best one to handle our trip. After months of evaluating our options, we chose Mosaic Adventure. But beyond finding the right company, we also had other concerns, would we make it? Were we training enough? Did we have the right gear? More training, more gear and plenty of preparation later, we set off on our journey. We needn’t have worried. Madhav, who managed our booking from Kathmandu and his incredible team ensured everything was seamless. During the trek, our guide, Ramesh, played a key role in helping us reach our goal. He made sure we ate well, stayed hydrated and followed the right steps to prevent altitude sickness. Thanks to his guidance, everything was well managed and we successfully made it to the top as part of our anniversary celebration. On a trek like this, having an experienced guide makes all the difference in ensuring everyone in the group reaches their goal. We had a small group of eight and each of us completed the trek without major issues other than the usual mild altitude symptoms like coughing and slight headaches above 4,500 meters. We did see some trekkers being airlifted from Dingboche, Lobuche and Gorak Shep, but thankfully, our group walked all the way to EBC and back without any complications. The exceptional arrangements by Mosaic Adventure made this possible. This trek was physically and mentally challenging, but the teamwork and friendships we formed along the way were truly unforgettable. If you're planning to trek to Everest Base Camp, don’t underestimate it, prepare well and book with Mosaic Adventure for an amazing experience!
- Verified Purchase By Lachlan Harvey March 2, 2025 Mind blowingOkay, wow. Trying to put the Everest Base Camp Trek with Mosaic Adventure into words is…ugh, impossible?

Those Himalayan views? Felt like a screensaver but real??? Reaching base camp was surreal - kinda cried a bit ngl. Our guide Ramesh (or maybe Ramays) was an absolute legend. Dude knew everything about the mountains, cracked jokes when we were gassed from altitude and somehow made sure nobody in our group got left behind. Teahouses were cozy (you’re not getting the Ritz, but hey, hot tea after hiking = bliss) and the dal bhat…I miss it already? Like, you’d think rice and lentils would get old but nope. Seriously, if you’re even half thinking about this trek, book with Mosaic. Flawless? Nah, but that’s adventure right? Just pack good socks and thank me later!
- Verified Purchase By Danny M March 1, 2025 Great EBC trekDid the Everest Base Camp trek with a group of 6 and honestly, it was such a good experience. Pralhad was our guide - super chill, knowledgeable, and just a really decent guy to have leading us. He kept the pace just right and was always checking in on how we were doing. We had three porters with us (I only remember Laxman’s name, he was a total star, always smiling and somehow always ahead of us with our bags at the next stop). The whole setup was smooth - accommodation, food, permits, everything sorted. Madhav helped with all the booking and planning over WhatsApp before we arrived, which made things way easier. There were tough days for sure (those last few altitude hikes are no joke), but the team made it feel manageable and fun. The views were unreal. Definitely one of those “glad I did it” kind of trips. Would go with the same company and team again for sure. Thanks again to Pralhad, Laxman, and the rest of the crew!
- Verified Purchase By Greg Lambert February 21, 2025 A truly unforgettable experience!Trekking to Everest Base Camp had been a lifelong dream for my group and this December, we finally turned it into reality with the incredible support of Mosaic Adventure and our guide Purna. While the journey was as challenging as we’d imagined, grueling altitude gains, basic lodges and unpredictable mountain weather, every step felt worth it thanks to Purna’s expertise and the team’s seamless planning. Purna wasn’t just a guide, he felt like a trusted friend. His deep knowledge of the trails, weather patterns and local culture kept us safe and engaged throughout the trek. He patiently adjusted our pace for acclimatization, shared fascinating stories about the Himalayas and even taught us a few Nepali phrases! What stood out most was how attentively he monitored our health, ensuring we stayed hydrated and energized despite the thin air. Mosaic Adventure nailed the logistics, from teahouse stays to hearty meals that fueled our days. If you’re considering EBC, don’t hesitate to book with them and request Purna. Trust me, you’ll return with sore legs, a full camera memories that’ll outlast the Himalayas themselves.

- Verified Purchase By Jacqui O'Brien September 26, 2024 Unforgettable EBC trekNamaste Ramesh and Nima (my angel ), I wanted to thank you for the personal care and support I received during the EBC Trek. Without your unwavering assistance and patience I would not have been able to finish it. Your steady hand under my elbow guided me when the going got tough for me. The last three difficult days walking through the relentless monsoon rains Ramesh never left my side. And he never lost his cool during the frustrating days thereafter waiting to get out of Lukla. His constant reassurance that all would be well calmed us down. Madhav, your company is a one in a million and I will give a 10 star review. A huge thank you to all of you.

- Verified Purchase By Giovanni Freschi August 18, 2024 Trip of a lifetimeWe chose Mosaic Adventure based on recommendations from people who had done EBC trek with them. I contacted Madhav based on these recommendations and booked a trip for August. Madhav clearly informed us about the monsoon season and its effect on the trip, suggesting that we consider moving to a better season like spring or autumn for clearer views during the drier months. However, August was the only time my two friends and I could achieve our dream of reaching EBC. We managed to complete the trek with our guide and two porters without any issues, aside from the weather conditions. Thanks to Madhav, we were well prepared with rain gear and had set aside some buffer days post trek to ensure we didn't miss our flight home due to Lukla flight cancellations. Flights were canceled for three consecutive days, and the weather wasn't good enough for helicopters to fly. We spent those days wandering around Lukla, playing cards with our guide and porters. Our guide Madan, and porters Tashi and Lhakpa, were the best human beings. We couldn't have accomplished our goals without the support and professionalism of the Mosaic team. Thanks to everyone!
- Verified Purchase By Caroline D July 24, 2024 Great company with a wonderful guideWe chose Mosaic Adventure out of many companies due to their good prices and the fact that they are locally owned. Their quick responses and reliability during the initial inquiry process stood out. My friend and I went on our trek in mid June, right as the monsoon season was starting. When we first contacted Madhav, he was honest about the weather conditions and warned us about potential cancellations of flights to Lukla due to the monsoon. Unfortunately, our flight to Lukla was canceled for two days, but luckily, our return flight was not affected. As Madhav suggested, we had kept three buffer days, which worked out well for us. During the trek, we were guided by Manoj and our porter was Khum. Both of them took excellent care of us and were very patient. Manoj, our knowledgeable guide, went above and beyond to ensure our safety and the success of our trip to EBC and back. I can't recommend the Mosaic team enough for their exceptional support and organization.

Manoj was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and kind hearted. We had the trip of a lifetime with Manoj and some other supporting porters. Thanks to the team and good luck with more trips in the future.
- Verified Purchase By Christina Lo October 15, 2023 Trip of a LifetimeEverest Base Camp trek had been on my checklist for a while, along with a few of my close friends. Mosaic Adventure played a really great role in helping all of us tick it off the list. None of us were regular hikers, but we were determined to do it anyway. With the help of Madhav from Mosaic, we started planning four months before the trip. He assisted us with all of our questions. When we arrived in Kathmandu, we met Madhav who introduced us to our guide, Sonam. The next day, we began our adventure with a flight to Lukla. Sonam patiently accompanied us throughout the journey, providing professional yet friendly service. He really helped and encouraged us a lot to make sure we reached the base camp. It was difficult but a fun trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Sonam. He made it happen and we returned with high recommendations for both the guide and Mosaic Adventure. We hope to see you on other adventures in Nepal.
- Verified Purchase By Alexis Portnova October 4, 2023 Challenging Trek - made possible by RameshIt was one of the most amazing yet challenging treks that I have ever done, all made possible by Ramesh and his continuous support. Ramesh is a professional and expert in what he does, and probably the best guide you could ask for when trekking to Everest Base Camp. I can't recommend Ramesh highly enough for making our experience one to remember for a lifetime.
- Verified Purchase By Robyn Harvey September 29, 2023 10/10Trekking to Everest Base Camp was the best trip ever. It was a well organized tour with a great guide and the best sherpas. I was able to meet the most amazing people from different countries. Our small group of 6 came from various countries, so now I have lifelong friends in different parts of the world. All credit goes to Mosaic Adventure for arranging such a great trip on fixed dates, allowing people from around the world to sign up. Every one of us reached base camp, although only 2 reached Kalapatthar, and I wasn't one of them :). But, I am happy with what I have achieved. Highly recommended guide Purna, owner Madhav and everyone at Mosaic Adventure.
- Verified Purchase By Christian August 20, 2023 Great trip to Everest Base CampJust got back from a great trip to EBC. We did it in the month of July. Although our trip was affected by rain on most of the days, we made it to the base camp and had a great time accompanied by guide Purna and porter Tika. While planning this trip, Madhav from Mosaic Adventure told us that July is the monsoon season and if possible we should plan to come for the trip in spring or autumn. However, due to my work schedule, my wife and I decided to go in July anyway. Madhav gave us the right information that really helped us prepare ourselves for this trek in July. If you are planning this trip in the monsoon months like July, make sure you keep some extra days after the trek. Our flight got cancelled for three consecutive days, and we flew back to Kathmandu after spending three days in Lukla. However, we enjoyed our stay in Lukla, exploring places and bars. In our case, we bought our return ticket after getting back to Kathmandu, so we didn't have to worry about missing the flight home. Be prepared for a great adventure with them. No matter when you do it, I am sure you are going to have a good time on the trail. Hope to return to Nepal in 2025 for another great trek in the Himalayas of Nepal.
- Verified Purchase By Beatrice N July 15, 2023 Incredible 14 DaysI had an incredible 14 days trekking to Everest Base Camp. Special thanks to our guide Purna and all of the porters who helped us along the trail. It was the most beautiful two weeks of my life, with stunning views and wonderful people that I will never forget.
- Verified Purchase By Stuart P June 30, 2023 Remarkable JourneyApproximately two months ago, idea of embarking on a motorcycle journey across India began to occupy my thoughts. During my research Mount Everest kept making frequent appearances in the articles I came across. Intrigued I gradually became obsessed with the idea of including Everest in my trip. After extensive internet searching, one company stood out: Mosaic Travel. Their exceptional reviews led me to promptly reach out to them, kickstarting the adventure. Madhav, a representative from Mosaic Travel, promptly addressed all my inquiries. Initially, I doubted whether I was prepared for the Everest Base Camp (EBC) experience. However, with Madhav's unwavering support I gathered the courage to go for it. Upon my arrival in Kathmandu, I was warmly greeted by my guide, Purna who would accompany me throughout the next 14 days. That evening, I had the pleasure of meeting Raj, who ensured I was fully prepared for the journey ahead. Purna arranged to pick me up at the hotel at 5 a.m. and together we embarked on a trip to Lukla, renowned for its perilous airport. Remarkably, we arrived without encountering any problems. Throughout the journey, Purna proved to be an exceptional companion. Fortunately, the weather remained favorable allowing us to savor remarkable moments like enjoying tea at the world's highest hotel with an incredible view of Everest. Witnessing the magnificence of Everest for the first time left me deeply moved. The experience of beholding such beautiful mountains is truly extraordinary. As the journey drew to a close the weather began to change. I made the decision to opt for a helicopter ride back, as it would grant me additional time to explore Kathmandu and avoid potential delays in Lukla caused by the weather. Raj and Purna maintained constant communication and following our visit to EBC and a night in Gorakshep, they managed to secure the only available helicopter back to Lukla. It was a truly unforgettable experience. Upon arriving in Lukla, the weather had deteriorated further and no planes were able to depart. Through their resourcefulness, Purna and Raj secured an empty seat on the first helicopter due to a cancellation. Unfortunately, it was unable to depart that day. Nevertheless, this unexpected turn of events allowed Purna and me to enjoy local beer and pizza, finding a silver lining amidst the circumstances. The following morning, I successfully made my way back to Kathmandu being one of the last individuals to leave for a couple of days. Purna and Raj collaborated closely to ensure my safe return. Their dedication went beyond their responsibilities enhancing my trip in numerous ways. During my adventure I had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful people and forging lasting friendships. The memories we created will undoubtedly endure a lifetime. In Kathmandu, Purna and I met for a coffee, where I expressed my profound gratitude once again for the incredible journey. Mosaic Travel proved to be an extraordinary travel agency, displaying the utmost professionalism and going the extra mile to provide me with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone considering the Everest Base Camp to seize the opportunity without hesitation. Rest assured, Mosaic Travel is the optimal choice to accompany you on this remarkable journey.

- Verified Purchase By Arek Schwarz April 9, 2023 Cost of the Everest Base Camp trek with Mosaic Adventure is worth the serviceWhile comparing various companies for the Everest Base Camp trek, I approached many companies and found that there is a kind of price war between them. Although I found other cheaper offers, I chose to book with Mosaic Adventure due to the quick response from the owner, Madhav. I did the trek with 3 other people and their service was worth the price we paid. The EBC trek was absolutely amazing and offered truly breathtaking views surrounded by high Himalayan peaks. Our guide, Purna, and porters, Buddi and Makar, went above and beyond to make it super easy for us. The overall arrangement, including the selection of the Kathmandu hotel, teahouses on the trek, quality of food, guide and porter, exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Mosaic Adventure to anyone planning on doing this legendary trek to EBC.

- Verified Purchase By Jessica Anderson December 7, 2022 Extremely Comfortable and Enriching AdventureIt was my first time ever taking a trekking trip outside the country and I was quite nervous about the whole experience. However, according to recommendations from friends, I booked the Everest Base Camp Trek by Mosaic Adventure and they made the whole trip extremely comfortable and enriching for me. Everything, from the hotels to the food, was amazing but it all fell short in front of the iconic sights. The morning hike to Kalapatthar was extremely exciting as it was the first time; I truly experienced the Everest in all its glory. Our guide Pralhad was an absolute professional and took special precautions to make the trip more comfortable. This entire trip has given me the confidence to travel alone thanks to Mosaic Adventure and Pralhad.

I will definitely recommend friends and family to take this trip with Mosaic.

I would highly recommend anyone who wish to take adventure trip in Himalayas to travel and book their trip with Mosaic.
- Verified Purchase By Melissa Lawrence November 27, 2022 Incredible TripThis was my first trek and I couldn't recommend Mosaic Adventure more. initially I was nervous especially as the scale of Everest Base Camp Trek was huge compared to anything I have done before. But on arrival to Nepal, Mosaic team made me feel at ease and I started to feel really excited. The entire trip was incredible and I couldn't have done it without Mosaic Adventure. I definitely will be back.

- Verified Purchase By Tom Sheehan June 18, 2022 Excellent experienceMy recent EBC trek was an excellent experience. Our guide, Pravin, was top notch. Knowledgeable, compassionate and equally concerned with both our enjoyment and keeping us safe. The trek itself was definitely strenuous and the higher we got, the more difficult it became. Scenery, mountains and valleys, local villages and omnipresent animals were perfect. Weather was great until we got back to Lukla, when the rain and fog trapped us for 5 days. Finally got out by helicopter. Now it's two weeks later and I read that no planes have been to Lukla for three weeks. Be prepared.
- Verified Purchase By Kieran Grant April 26, 2022 Amazing Everest Base Camp TrekWhat an amazing trip to EBC with Mosaic adventures. Due to Covid the trip was delayed by 2 years but Madhav was always flexible about amending the dates and really quick to respond to queries. The trek itself was managed excellently by Rishi who safely got me there and back. Due to issues at Lukla there was often a bottleneck of people at the Tea Houses but Rishi always managed to somehow find me a room when others were being turned away. Overall, from initially booking the trip to finally getting to Nepal and completing the trek I can’t recommend Mosaic Adventures enough.
- Verified Purchase By Jaryn Rodriguez March 15, 2022 Trekking the Himalayas with Expert GuidanceGoing to the Himalayas was like a dream come true. It was even better than I imagined! Even though it was tough sometimes, seeing all the beautiful mountains and meeting friendly people made every moment special. I had been waiting for this trip for years because of the pandemic. Watching videos and reading stories couldn't prepare me for how amazing it actually was. Every morning, I woke up excited to see the sunrise and explore more. The trek to EBC was hard, especially getting used to the cold. But that's what adventures are all about, right? A big reason why our trip was so great was because of Pralhad and Tashi from Mosaic Adventure. They took such good care of us and taught us a lot about Nepal. I'm really grateful for their help. I also want to thank Madhav from Mosaic Adventure for planning everything so well. His hard work made the trip even better. If you're thinking about going on this trek, I say go for it! It's an experience you'll never forget. I'm so thankful to Mosaic Adventure for giving me this amazing adventure.

My experience with Mosaic Adventure and their guide and porters exceeded expectations. From swift responses to precise information, Mosaic ensured a smooth journey from Kathmandu to EBC.

Not only me, but other trekkers part of our group praised their professionalism and the dedication of the guide and porters on the trail. Thanks to Mosaic Adventure's exemplary service and expert guidance, reaching EBC was not just a dream but a remarkable reality.
- Verified Purchase By Filippo and clementina August 22, 2020 A great experienceWe had a EBC trek organized by the Mosaic adventure and it was amazing. We were able to organize everything from Italy, getting all the information we needed very quickly. They organized our trip exactly as we wanted and every detail was perfect. The staff (both the ones in the office and the ones who did the trekking with us) were very competent and careful. A great experience!!! For sure when I'll go back to Nepal I'll organize another trek with them!
- Verified Purchase By Martine Ciappareli November 5, 2019 An Amazing TrekNo hesitation for my 2nd trip to Nepal: I will go again with Mosaic Adventure! It was another amazing trek from Jiri to Everest Base Camp, perfectly organized from the moment we landed in Kathmandu to the time we left. We had the very best team we could hope for: Bn our guide and the two porters Ram and Santos! They were always ready to help, patient (we were not exactly the fastest trekkers!), had a good sense of humor, and Bn planned our tour to perfection, making sure we were happy and comfortable at all times. He was very experienced, caring, helpful, and funny. It was a real pleasure to spend time with him. He took us to these marvelous villages, stopping at the most amazing lodges (a room with a view of Everest!), and eventually took us safely to Ama Dablam BC for a memorable picnic! What a treat! Many thanks and hoping to see you again one of these days!
- Verified Purchase By Andrew Scot October 9, 2019 Incredible trip from start to finishFrom start to finish this was an incredible trip! Really impressed. Professionally organised and well run throughout, with all staff always willing to help out and go the extra mile. Excellent standards of accommodation (compared to all other tours spoken to) and a good selection of food options. Brilliant guides leading the way, with friendly porters supporting. The itinerary was exciting without being too strenuous, and the scenery was simply breathtaking every day. I can't recommend Mosaic Adventure highly enough, and would certainly look to use them for future Nepal adventures!

- Verified Purchase By Ryan Zielinski August 13, 2019 Trip of a lifetimeIf you're looking to do trekking in Nepal then stop looking at other companies because this is the one you want to go with. In the main office, Madhav does an excellent job of planning your trip and making sure everything is to your liking. Even half a world away, he answered all of my emails within 24 hours. He will do everything within his power to make sure your stay in Nepal is nothing short of amazing. On the Everest base camp tour, my guide Rishi was equally impressive. So if you have the opportunity to request a guide, request him. He always made sure we stayed at clean and comfortable teahouses with good food. It was also nice to have someone looking out for signs of altitude sickness and checking up on your health and acclimatization, daily. He also knows all the good places to take pictures and is very knowledgable of the surrounding mountains and wildlife. You should also bring some cards with you and ask Rishi to show you some of his magic tricks. The trek itself is the trip of a lifetime and I can't accurately describe it here, so you should just do it! In Kathmandu, Keshar was a fountain of knowledge. During my city tour he told me everything I wanted to know and more. I got so much more out of the places he took me to with his keen insight. Keshar is a great student of Nepalese history and culture and is very enthusiastic about it. I couldn't have asked for a better city guide. If I ever have the fortune to make it back to Nepal I will certainly be booking my trip with Mosiac Adventure.
- Verified Purchase By Sue Sann Ong June 3, 2019 Impressed and pleased with the EBC trekWe are very impressed and pleased with the EBC trek organised by Mosaic Adventure - the process has been very seamless and Raj has been very responsive to our emails, including accommodating to our requests of staying the night at Ramenchap before flying out to Lukla the next morning. Bhumi Amgain's (our guide) professionalism, friendliness and thoughtfulness has been exceptional from start (picking us up at the Kathmandu airport) to end (when we left Lukla to Kathmandu). His advice on renting the duffel bag to prevent our backpacks from being dusty was very thoughtful and we truly appreciated his hospitable touch on providing freshly cut apples and pomegranate after every dinner. As it was just two of us in the group, Bhumi was very patient in letting us walk at our own pace and taking breaks when necessary as well as offering to carry our backpacks on short day hikes to reduce fatigue. Bhumi also demonstrated good knowledge in educating us of the surrounding mountains throughout the EBC trek and also the local sherpa culture or the Nepalese culture in general. A notable incident whereby Bhumi was very helpful was helping to tape up a friend's hiking boots which was coming apart with duct tape to ensure it lasted till the end of the trip. All in all, we would definitely strongly recommend Mosaic Adventure and Bhumi as the guide for any friends who are interested in doing the EBC trek in the future.
- Verified Purchase By Adam and Schloss May 16, 2019 Incredibly delightedMy wife and I used Mosaic for a Everest Base Camp trek and were incredibly delighted with the Mosaic experience. Our guide was spectacular, the group was small, and there was personalized attention that the larger tour companies cannot provide. I can not recommend this company high enough.
- Verified Purchase By Mike Orgill May 16, 2019 Professional and responsive teamI used Mosaic for the Everest Base Camp Trek and had an amazing experience. They were very professional and responsive before I ever arrived. Everything went smoothly (pick up, accommodation, flights, etc). I had an amazing guide (ask for Pralhad if you can) who was very focused on keeping me happy, safe and comfortable. What sets Mosaic apart from many of the other tour companies that I saw was the level of personal attention that they give to their clients.
- Verified Purchase By Alejandra Brito May 9, 2019 Recommend your serviceIt has been a delight to deal with Mosaic Adventure; we appreciate our very excellent guide. We will recommend your service especially to all my friends and colleagues. Many thanks!
- Verified Purchase By Wessam Badr May 5, 2019 Probably the best company out thereMy friend and I (both from Australia) did a two weeks trek to Everest base camp (5365m above sea level) and Kala Pathar (5545m above sea level) through Mosaic Adventure. The company was amazing, probably the best out there (based on quick comparisons with people that we met during the trek). They were also very reasonably priced. They explained to us all expected costs before arrival to Nepal and before we left for the trek. They were absolutely correct and there were no hidden costs or anything. They were extremely helpful as well. One particular example was a flight problem to Lukla. The weather was bad that day and our flight was cancelled due to that. We were asked to come back the next day. This was not the company's fault or anything. My friend and I really didn’t want to spend one more day in Kathmandu and cut one day from our trek. So we enquired about helicopters. Many people in the airport travelling to Lukla were doing the same. We got very expensive quotes for helicopters and so did other westerners. Madhav (Trek Coordinator) knew that we were interested in catching a helicopter but our budget was low. So he made some phone calls and managed to get us on a helicopter for about half of the price that other westerners were paying that day. The Company is also extremely organized and very professional. You get to meet your guide the day before. And they gave us an awesome Kathmandu city tour as well. Unlike other companies that were just trying to sell, this company was actually concerned about us. About our comfort, safety, enjoyment etc. whenever we had some reception in the mountain, Madhav would call our guide and check up on us. He would then talk to us quickly to make sure that we are ok and that we are having fun. As beginners in the trekking world (not very fit and didn’t train before the trek or anything), we felt very safe and comfortable. The company’s support helped us reach our goal/destination successfully. Our mountain guide (Hari) was awesome, really awesome. Best mountain guide ever. He became a good friend of ours. Other mountain guides were not as friendly and as funny as he was. He made us laugh and laugh that we had no problems with altitude sickness or anything. He was very responsible and supervised us really well without us feeling that he was doing that. He gave us the exact amount of freedom that we wanted. Other hikers would finish their trek, get to the tea houses, get changed, have a quick dinner and then go to bed. With us, it was finish the trek, get to the tea houses, get changed, eat dinner, play cards and laugh for a few hours, socialize with our guide and all his awesome mountain friends, then we would go to bed. This socializing exercise and constant laughing really helped in ignoring the lack of oxygen in the air. So overall, our guide was awesome. In conclusion, we loved the company and felt very comfortable and safe with them. We recommend it to everyone. They do have many other tours and treks. And if I am ever planning to go to Nepal again to seek adventure, I would definitely be doing it through Mosaic Adventure.
- Verified Purchase By Matthew Sage April 25, 2019 Excellent trekking experienceMe and my partner had an excellent treking experience with mosiac. We did the two week everest base camp trek and had an absolutely amazing time. Everything about the trip was well organised from the tour of kathmandu before the trek (which took in 4 of the major sites and was extremely informative and fun) to the transport and accommodation throughout the trek. Our treking guide, Pralhad, was really good, always making sure we were okay, he was really patient encouraging us to walk slowly, answering all our questions and he also took good care of us both when we got a little bit sick towards the end of the trip! The accommodation on the trek was basic of course but the places we stayed always seemed pretty nice compared to some of the other places around. Mosaic were very accommodating, for example we had to put the trek date back just a few days before it started and they arranged this immediately with no complaints, answered all our questions throughout and were extremely organised and efficient (every time someone was suposed to collect us from somewhere they were on time with their mosaic sign, friendly and helpful) also they arranged to donate our unwanted treking clothes to a local orphanage for us. Mosiac are a really great company with helpful staff, I would definitely use them again if I had the chance to return to Nepal.
- Verified Purchase By Winnie Wa November 9, 2018 Wonderful experienceI joined Mosaic for Everest Base Camp trek in May 2014. In fact, I joined its Poon Hill Trek in 2012. It was my second time going a trek in Nepal with Mosaic. The tour coordinator, Madhav is helpful and reliable. He responded quickly to our request and tailor made the itinerary to suit our needs and gave professional advice. The tour ran smoothly with the support of the guide, Rishi and the porters, Rhim and Hita. Meeting Madhav and Rishi again is like reunion with old friends. It is a wonderful experience. Thanks.
- Verified Purchase By Sam Arthur March 3, 2016 Amazing and challenging trekThe adventure I had was both amazing and challenging. I rushed my body to the limits and also had my eyes opened to the most beautiful sights. I made lifelong friends with other trekkers and shared moments of sickness, happiness and achievement, all with the trust and joy of my excellent guide Pralhad who I will never forget.
- Verified Purchase By Blethyn Mitchell October 10, 2014 Can't wait to come backI highly recommend Mosaic.I booked with Mosaic at the last minute, and they helped me with everything. I arrived in Kathmandu a week before my trek and they still offered to pick me up and take me to my accommodation at a different hostel from which they use at no cost. They explained what I would need to buy and where to buy it and what to look at before our Everest Base Camp Tour. We had an amazing guide with us on our trek who seemed to have more patience than any one I know. There was 4 of us on the trek and one of the guys was 62 but our guide Shanker managed to get us all to our daily destinations safely. When I arrived back in Kathmandu I fell really sick and had to go to Hospital, When Mosaic heard of this they immediately contacted me and were willing to make arrangements to take me to a good hospital. Further more my Bank stopped my cards working and Mosaic happily offered and lent me money to cover all my costs until I sorted my my bank out. All this based only on trust having no idea if they would see me again. Thank you so Much Rajendra, Madhav and Shanker for making my Trek and time in Nepal amazing. Cant wait to come back one day.
- Verified Purchase By Joe and Soph. August 14, 2014 Reliable company with well priced Everest Base Camp TrekWe went with Mosaic tours in Kathmandu to do the Mount Everest Base Camp Trek in August this year. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is keen on doing the EBC or any other trekking in Nepal. They are reputable, reliable, well priced, trustworthy and most importantly they put our personal safety above all else. All ran smoothly from start to finish. We started our experience with Mosaic Tours the day we arrived in Kathmandu with our guide Pralhad and tour organizer, Madhav. They met us at our hotel in Kathmandu and gave us an in depth run down on everything we needed to know for our upcoming 12 day trek. They lent us down jackets and Sleeping bags (free of charge) which saved us lugging them half way around the world. The morning of the trek, Pralhad meet us again at the hotel and we were off on the most amazing adventure ever! If you can get Pralhad as your guide, we would highly recommend him. He really knows his stuff! He is extremely experienced, kind, understanding (especially appreciated by my wife who was a novice trekker), knowledgeable, good fun… and good at cards! Between Prahlad and our fantastic porter Jetha, we had an awesome experience. When we arrived back at Lukla it was too foggy for planes to fly in, so we ended up having to get a helicopter at our own expense. We were escorted by Pralhad to the spot where we were collected (about 1.5 hour trek) where he dropped us and then trekked back up the mountain to Lukla, which we appreciated SO much. One week after leaving Nepal we noticed our credit card had been charged an EXTRA $1000 USD for the helicopter trip, which we had organized using another company outside of Mosaic. Although the helicopter was arranged completely externally from Mosaic tours, we contacted Madhav and asked if he could help us retrieve our lost funds. Within 2 days Madhav had resolved the issue with the helicopter company for us and had our money refunded! If you are looking to trek in Nepal- Mosaic are awesome, they are the real deal. They are a reliable, safe and a ‘no-stress’ trekking company in Kathmandu, Nepal!! Cheers Madhav, Pralhad and Jetha! ?
- Verified Purchase By Siew Yan April 9, 2014 Everest Base Camp with RameshTrekking with Ramesh from Mosaic Adventure to Everest Base Camp was an absolutely amazing experience. Ramesh, our guide, showed expertise, patience and humor throughout the journey. He ensured our safety and comfort at every step, making the experience truly unforgettable. Alongside his assistant Tekraj, they offered unparalleled support and knowledge, enriching our cultural immersion in Nepal. Whether it was attending to an unwell member or accommodating slower paces, Ramesh and Tekraj remained by our side, making us feel secure and cared for. If you seek a remarkable trekking experience with seasoned guides, look no further than Ramesh and Tekraj. I can't wait to return to Nepal with them for another adventure!
- Verified Purchase By Adam Schloss April 4, 2013 It could not have been betterMy wife and I recently completed an 11 day Everest Base Camp Trek through Mosaic. We did not know who to use and relied upon Mosaic's high tripadvisor rating. We are so happy that we did. Everything went as planned and our tour guide could not have been better. He was 30 years experienced while other guides we met on the trail were quite young. Our group was just the 2 of us while other groups were 10 to 15 people. Madhov responded quickly to my emails, met us at the airport, and was wonderful to work with. They also provided down jackets and warm sleeping bags which is not common with other tours. Could not offer a higher recommendation. Just be warned that the Everest base camp trek is incredibly difficult and you must be in good shape.

- Verified Purchase By Llanos Lopez Perez May 5, 2011 Highly recommend Mosaic and GokulWe went on Everest Base Camp trek in July from Mosaic Adventure Trek with Gokul who was our trekking guide.

- Verified Purchase By Bernie Stewart May 5, 2011 Highly recommend their servicesNepal is a beautiful country. It's natural resources in the Himalayas as well as the southern jungles are completely unique. Any person with an adventuresome bone in their body would be thrilled and delighted seeing this country. Mosaic Adventures did an excellent job of providing a first time visitor to Nepal the guidance and framework for experiencing the beauties of the country. My trip was well planned and well managed and everything went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend their services to anyone contemplating visiting Nepal. The trip would be memorable.
- Verified Purchase By Alun & Anthony August 8, 2009 Great trip with lovely viewsA great trip with some lovely views, interesting guide and good accomodations+food. Unfortunately we didn't get the best view of Mt. Everest but after all it was the monsoon. However, we did get a fantastic view on the way down. A highly recommended organization and a friendly team of people.
