Eid al-Fitr 2027 is expected around 10 March, at the end of Ramadan (the exact date depends on the moon sighting). With the public holidays and a few days of leave, it is the perfect window for a Himalayan adventure. We have timed two departures from the UAE to start right at the beginning of Eid.
Everest Base Camp Trek: 10 – 23 March 2027
Fourteen days in the Khumbu valley, from Lukla to Everest Base Camp at 5,364 metres: suspension bridges, monasteries, Sherpa villages and the highest mountains on Earth getting closer every day. No technical experience is needed, but you do need good fitness to walk several days in a row at altitude. See the Everest Base Camp trek. Or read our complete Everest Base Camp guide.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek: 10 – 21 March 2027
Twelve days through rhododendron forests, rice terraces and Gurung villages to the Annapurna Sanctuary, a natural amphitheatre of peaks over 7,000 metres. No previous experience needed. See the Annapurna Base Camp trek.
Why Nepal for Eid
Kathmandu is a short direct flight from Dubai, and March is one of the best months to trek in Nepal: clear skies, mild days in the valleys and the rhododendrons starting to bloom. If the Eid date moves by a day with the moon sighting, we adjust the departure.
Book early
Flights from the UAE get more expensive as Eid approaches, and trekking permits and domestic flights in Nepal need to be arranged in advance. Interested? Message us and we will send you all the details. You can see every date in our upcoming departures calendar.
