Everest Base Camp Trek

DECADES OF EXPERIENCE

The pilgrimage to Nepal's Everest Base camp is a trek that should be on every adventurer's must-do list. It's a trek through the dramatic Khumbu Valley along ancient trading routes, high up in the Himalayan mountains.

Tusker brings 40 years of trekking experience to this trip of a lifetime.

TOP GUIDING TEAM

Tusker's guiding team consists of Tusker owner/guide, Amy Frank; Mel Kaida and Mingma Sherpa. Mel also guides our treks in Bhutan and Mongolia, and is an expert at high altitude safety.  Mingma was born and raised in the Himalayas and opens an incredible window into Nepali and Sherpa culture.

ADVENTURE CUISINE

Good nutritional food is one the most important elements of a successful trek.  Which is why Tusker owner, Amy Frank has designed our well-planned trekking menu. 

One of the problems in the Khumbu valley is sanitation.  A lot of travelers in Nepal fall prey to virulent stomach bugs from the local food and water.  For this reason we bring own cooking team which prepares our carefully planned meals under strict hygienic conditions. We also boil and purify all of the drinking water.

HEALTH & SAFETY

Everyone knows that adventure travel has inherent risks. What's important is how one prepares for them. Our highly experienced medically trained guides are experts in high altitude emergencies and have had many years experience guiding treks.  They monitor trekker health every step of the way.

We carry plenty of oxygen and a portable oxygen chamber.
And if you have an emergency that requires a helicopter evacuation, you are covered by RIPCORD, our air evacuation company of note. During the devasting Nepal earthquake in 2015 our guides, together with Ripcord, evacuated the entire group back home quickly and safely.
