Why go with DCXP
Our style
This Everest Base Camp Trek utilises DCXP's high pass route to explore the two main valleys of the Everest region. DCXP expeditions are always led by talented and experienced leaders. On this Everest Base Camp Trek your trek leader will be a qualified Nepalese trek guide. They are there to ensure your trek is a wonderful, fun and safe experience.
Your accomplished and friendly trek guide will help you to enjoy and appreciate the cultural, and natural attractions of the region. They will assist with daily arrangements as you eat in and stay at the teahouse lodges that make the Khumbu so accessible for visitors. The package uses a steady acclimatisation program and allows time for bad weather along the way, giving participants the maximum chance of success.
Your safety is our priority, our leaders are trained in first aid and carry a comprehensive first aid kit. Our own experienced climber and physician Doctor David Tingay advises us, and our clients, on medical issues, and is available by satellite phone in the event of a medical problem or injury arising on expedition.
Our expeditions are well planned, well led, and well resourced with good quality food, transport, equipment, first aid and communications.
