Getting There

  • Walking

    From Thamel, head towards the main street (Tridevi Marg). Walk north until you reach the intersection with the larger street (Pashupati Road). Turn left onto Pashupati Road and continue walking until you see the signs for the Everest Base Camp Trekking office. This is typically located near the tourist information center, which is a good landmark.

  • Walking

    Alternatively, you can head towards the busy area of Kathmandu Durbar Square. From there, navigate towards the Thamel area by following the signs pointing towards 'Swayambhunath' or 'Boudhanath', which will lead you back to Thamel and eventually to the Everest Base Camp Trekking office.

  • Bicycle Rental

    If you prefer biking, look for local bicycle rental shops in Thamel. Rent a bike and head towards Pashupati Road. Follow the same directions as walking but enjoy the breeze and the sights on two wheels. Rental costs are typically around NPR 500-1000 per day.

  • Local Trekking Company Transport

    Many trekking companies offer shuttle services from Thamel to the airport or to the starting point of the trek. Confirm with your trekking company if they provide this service. This is usually included in the trekking package cost. If not, expect to pay around NPR 1000-1500 for a shared shuttle.
