Group joining treks are fixed departures that you join as an individual, couple or small party. You trek with other travellers on a shared itinerary, so the cost of the guide, porters and logistics is spread across the group.
How group joining works
We run Everest-region treks on set dates. You choose a departure, send an enquiry, and the Thamel office confirms the dates, the group size and what is included. You meet the group in Kathmandu for a briefing before the trek begins. Solo travellers are welcome, and many people join alone.
Our group joining treks
- Group Joining Everest Base Camp Trek, 14 days: the classic route to Base Camp and Kala Patthar.
- Group Joining Gokyo Lakes Trek, 13 days: the Gokyo valley, its lakes and Gokyo Ri.
Is a group trek right for you?
Good fit: solo travellers, couples and friends who are happy to walk at a shared pace, and people who want the cost shared. Think twice: if you need exact dates, a faster or slower pace than the group, or private lodging, a private trek may suit you better.
