How to reach Everest Base Camp by walk, jeep, bus, train?
How to reach Everest Base Camp? Everest Base Camp Trek has become the most popular trek among the avid trekkers, beginners, and backpackers. Every EBC Trek commences with a short scenic flight to Lukla, the gateway to Everest. From Lukla, we trace the Tenzing-Hillary trail and reach Everest Base Camp on foot. Being a landlocked country, Nepal doesn’t have access to road-transportation service up-to Everest Base Camp (5,364m).
Normally, every EBC trek commences from Kathmandu to Lukla on flight and marches ahead on foot through Tenzing-Hillary trails. It takes 30-40 minutes to land at Lukla from Kathmandu so EBC Trek on a flight is the quickest, easiest and most reliable means of transportation.

Trekkers who prefer economical EBC Trek or who have a flying phobia (acrophobia) can travel by bus/jeep to Phaplu and then trek to Lukla for usual EBC Trek trails. From Kathmandu, it takes 10-12 hours to reach at Phaplu on bus-jeep. During dry seasons, the drive becomes easy and the bus-jeep reaches up-to Khari-Khola.
Whereas, in the summer season (June-Sept), rain affects the road and the vehicles are forced to park at Phaplu. As airway ticket is so expensive for the local people, the road facility has become a boon to make their local life easy. If you want to experience the local life and enjoy long, bumpy, dirt or rough drive then EBC Trek on BUS-JEEP or specially Jiri-EBC Trek will be fruitful.
