About Bungee Jumping in Nepal

Planning your Everest Base Camp trek is more than just booking a package; it’s about understanding every detail: flights, accommodation, meals, permits, and daily routine. In this section, you’ll find everything you need to prepare for your journey to the Everest region, covering trek difficulty, weather, and more.

What Can You Expect on Arrival?

After landing at Tribhuvan International Airport, our team member will welcome you with a traditional Namaste and a personalized name card.

Hotel Transfer and Accommodation in Kathmandu

We’ll take care of your luggage and escort you to your hotel in a private vehicle, ensuring your comfort and safety.

If you haven’t arranged accommodation, we can assist you in booking a stay. We usually recommend Thamel, Kathmandu’s main trekking hub. Here, you can explore cultural sites, enjoy local restaurants, and buy any missing trekking gear.

You need to consider adding two buffer days beside your trek schedule:

• One night before the trek, to rest and prepare for the journey
• One night after the trek, to relax and recover from the mountain adventure

How Early Should You Arrive in Kathmandu Before the Trek?

Arriving early in Kathmandu reduces the risk of missing your departure due to flight delays or cancellations. It gives you time to explore the city, exchange currency, and enjoy local cuisine.

We recommend arriving at least one day before your flight to Lukla.

This allows you to:

• Recover from international travel fatigue
• Prepare and check your trekking gear
• Attend a detailed trek briefing
• Avoid potential delays from weather or flight changes
• Adjust to Nepal’s local time and climate
• Prepare yourself physically and mentally

By taking this extra day, you can start your trek well-rested, confident, and fully prepared. It can make your journey safer and more enjoyable.

Briefing Before the Trek

Before heading to the mountains, we will wait for you and your group at our office in Kathmandu. Paul, the head of our company, will then conduct a small briefing.

He will:

• Give you an overview of the route: Lukla → Phakding → Namche Bazaar → Tengboche → Dingboche → Lobuche → Gorak Shep → Everest Base Camp
• Review your itinerary and schedule
• Explain altitude gain, walking hours, and rest/acclimatization days
• Introduce you to your guides and porter
• Check your gear and answer any last queries
• Ensure you are ready and poised for the trek

This ensures you begin your trek fully-equipped and self-assured.
