Everest Base Camp Trek

RMI's EBC trek runs 21 days lodge-to-lodge through the Khumbu — handpicked teahouses, deliberate acclimatization, and two full nights at Base Camp itself. The route hits Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, Pheriche, and Gorak Shep, with sunrise on Kala Patthar (18,500 ft) as the high point. Led by U.S. RMI guides paired with an experienced Sherpa team. No mountaineering experience required; excellent fitness is.

A 0°F to -20°F bag, an expedition down parka, and 120L duffels add up fast for a trip you might do once. Our rental shop in Ashford stocks the heavy items maintained by staff who outfit RMI international programs every season — fitted and shipped to your door so you can fly with one well-packed duffel.

This collection mirrors RMI's official equipment list for the EBC trek. Every layer, bag, and accessory has been chosen to handle the Khumbu's climate range — humid lower valley, dry alpine desert above 12,000 ft, and pre-dawn cold on the Kala Patthar push — without overloading the porters who carry your duffel.
