Overview
The Phaplu to Everest Base Camp trek is a renowned and demanding route in the Everest region of Nepal. Phaplu, a small town situated in the Solukhumbu district, serves as the starting point for this journey. As you follow the trail, you will traverse beautiful forests, Sherpa villages, and high-altitude landscapes before arriving at the base camp of the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest.
Typically, the trek from Phaplu to Everest Base Camp spans approximately 14 to 16 days. It depends on the chosen itinerary, and covers a total distance of about 120 kilometers. Notably, this route is often referred to as the “alternative” Everest Base Camp trek due to its relatively fewer crowds. In contrast to the more popular route starting from Lukla, this trail offers a more authentic experience.

Similarly, this trek is a challenging yet rewarding journey. It provides stunning views and rich cultural experiences. Additionally, it offers a rare chance to see one of the world’s most iconic mountains up close.

Phaplu to Everest Base Camp Trek - Fantastic experience
This is my second excellent trekking experience with Gokyo Treks in Nepal. We planned to do EBC + Gokyo but we couldn’t fly to lukla due to bad weather. Luckily our guide Kamal KC arranged a direct jeep to Phaplu. The walk from Phaplu to Lukla is amazing as you can see the real villages and how people lives.
Regarding, our guide, Kamal, we are so grateful. He has so many years of experience in the Himalayas. He help us all the time and explained everything about the mountains and villages. He also selected very good lodges that were warm and clean. Furthermore, we needed to go to visit a doctor and he arranged an appointment quickly in a very good medical center. Basically, he became a very good friend of ours during this trek.
Overall, the trekking to Gokyo valley was amazing, and we had incredible views of many mountains and lakes. If you are looking for a serious company you can trust Gokyo Treks. Ammar (owner) did a very good job planning the Trek and provided the best guide that we know in Nepal. – Enric Paucal and Lucia ST, Barsilona, Spain,
