Mount Everest Base Camp trek is accessible short scenic flight from Kathmandu. The mountain scenery is stunting and live hood of Sherpa and their culture are really interested. This trip will bond with local people to seek their culture, tradition, belief have been centuries. Everest trekking you need 2 different permits;
[I] TIMS Cards (Trekkers Information Management System)
[II] Sagarmatha National Park Entry permit.
Regarding, porter; of course, if you are able to carry all your bags why you spend money for the porter. But you will find your trip huge difference using porters and not. Some time while you carrying your bags by own, you may miss some exclusive picture shut or cannot fully enjoy such a beautiful nature. So, I also would like recommend you, if your budgets will able support, than it will be batter to hire a porter too fulfill you dream in real.
Basically EBC trek can do 11 days to above 16 days also, but I would like to recommend you 13 days. Nepal Mother House Trek organizes Mount Everest Trip by local expert Sherpa Guide and Porters. And it will be batter couple days extra to get back to Kathmandu, if in case delay your flight due to weather.
