The Everest Base Camp Trek via Basa Village is a unique and rewarding alternative route to reach the base camp of the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest. This journey begins from the lower elevations of the Solukhumbu district, allowing trekkers to gradually acclimatize while experiencing authentic rural life in Nepal. Unlike the standard Lukla route, this trek starts with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Salleri by jeep, or an optional domestic flight to Phaplu followed by a short drive to Basa Village. Beginning from lower altitude makes the trek safer and more comfortable, especially for proper acclimatization before reaching higher elevations.

Autumn (September - November) and spring (March - May) is the best season for trekking and mountaineering in Nepal. Weather is mostly clear and temperature is moderate in these seasons which offer beautiful views without any obstruction. Spring grants you beautiful flowers, plants and rare animals. Walking is favorable during these seasons. Summer (June - August) and winter (December - February). Though summer has heavy monsoon rainfall, it is very much clearer to trek around Upper Mustang Trek, Upper Dolpo Trek and Nar Phu Valley Trek since they are rain shadow areas. Everest Base Camp Trek, Langtang Valley Trek, Annapurna Base Camp Trek, as well as Pikey Peak Trek are always better to trek in winter season.
Trekking can be challenging and exhausting. So you might need some fitness training and experience for some tough trial.
