The best areas to stay in Everest Base Camp
The historic centre
If it's your first time in Everest Base Camp and you're here for three nights or fewer, stay central. You'll pay a premium per night and win it back in taxi fares and walking time. Use Booking.com's map view and draw your search around the oldest part of town.
One neighbourhood out
The band just outside the centre is where Everest Base Camp gets interesting and considerably cheaper — usually 25–40% less for the same standard of room, and a ten-minute walk or one stop on public transport from everything.
Out of town
Around Everest Base Camp, staying out of town buys you silence, dark skies and better value — but you'll need a car and you'll eat at the property most nights. Decide that trade-off before you book.
