This is Everest Base Camp like you’ve never experienced before
In just nine unforgettable days, we bring you the heart of the classic EBC trek, elevated by a private helicopter flight over Gokyo Lakes and luxury lodge recovery. At high altitude, the journey unfolds with purpose, framed by breathtaking scenery and a deep immersion into Sherpa culture. Intense, dedicated, and unforgettable, this is the perfect way to experience Everest without committing to a full month.

What sets this trek apart is how we maximise time in the Himalayas. While standard EBC treks take 14–18 days, we streamline the return journey with a private helicopter. You’ll still trek to Base Camp and summit Kala Patar, but instead of retracing your steps, we take to the air – flying over the incredible Gokyo Lakes region, with views of Cho Oyu and the Ngozumpa Glacier, before returning to Kathmandu.

Activity Grade: MEDIUM

This is a trek, not a climb - there are no ropes, no crampons, no ice axes. The terrain can be challenging, but it doesn’t require technical mountaineering skills. Over six consecutive days, you’ll cover 7–10km each day, pushing through stunning landscapes, before a dramatic helicopter extraction from Gorakshep.

While the trek is high-altitude, reaching 5550m, it’s still accessible for those with a solid level of cardiovascular fitness and trekking endurance. You’ll be on your feet for 4–7 hours most days, with a light day pack and altitude to challenge your lungs. Acclimatisation days are placed after every two days of trekking to help your body adjust to the higher elevations.

Comfort levels are simple but inviting, with cosy teahouses where you’ll rest each night. While the mountain lodges are modest, we enhance your experience with premium touches, including 5-star hotels in Kathmandu, private helicopter flights, and comfortable road transport. This is a physically demanding adventure, not a technical one, and with the right preparation, it’s a highly achievable and incredibly rewarding journey.

✅ Elite Training & Preparation – A 6-month training program led by your trek guide, building physical strength, technical skill, team connection and mental readiness.

"Hands down the most incredible experience of my life. The Rossfit leaders ran a fun and professional expedition, and the build-up training was priceless!"
Michelle

"Being able to do the expedition with people who you'd met and trained with before you went away was a fantastic thing. There was such an amazing connection and comradery within our group particularly."
Ash

“We had an experience of a lifetime hiking to EBC. This was only possible because of the guidance we received from the Rossfit team. We were prepared for the challenges ahead thanks to, firstly, exercise schedules prepared by Ross, secondly, dietary and lifestyle guidelines, and finally, meticulous planning of our hike (from accommodation to choosing the right Sherpa for us). We could not have done this hike without Ross’ encouragement, preparation, insights, and his 24/7 support. It was indeed an amazingexperience.”

Amitabh

“Rossfit uses a tried and tested method to help bulletproof the body for the rigours of the mountains. With years of experience and knowledge, Rossfit has developed this approach that can also be tailored to individual needs. Rossfit provides a first-class experience allowing the client to focus on themselves and their journey as the fantastic guides are there to support every step of the trek.”

Chris

“It was an excellent group that he had formed for the venture; like-minded individuals who quickly became a solid, supportive team under Ross’ care and mentoring. The training was full on but enjoyable, and we were eventually ready to go - not just able to survive the trek but also enjoy every step of the way.”

David

“I chose to join Ross and his program because of his incredible experience in the Himalayas and other iconic locations, like the Dolomites in Italy. The comprehensive training program, combined with the group’s commitment to regular weekend hikes, made all the difference. These shared experiences built a strong bond within our team, which was invaluable when we faced challenges in the Himalayas.”

Katrina

"The buildup training and getting to know the team made the expedition run so much more smoothly. Being able to understand the strengths and weaknesses and different personalities of the team makes a world of difference when you’re together almost every day for nearly a month.”

Chris

“As a group preparing for a major expedition, Ross carefully structured our training, tailoring sessions to meet our needs. This included weekend trips away, which helped build both our endurance and confidence. His expertise and support allowed us to fully embrace the experience in Nepal, appreciating the breathtaking landscapes without being hindered by lack of preparation.”

Richard

“From the first training sessions to finishing the trek in Nepal, the entire experience was transformative. The guided preparation not only built my physical endurance but also strengthened our group’s camaraderie, making the adventure even more rewarding. Trekking through the Himalayas, facing challenges at altitude and pushing beyond physical limits could have been overwhelming but with expert guidance and encouragement from Ross (and the sherpa guides) every obstacle became an opportunity to grow.”
