Trek Preparation for Nepal Everest Base Camp 

Everest Base Camp starts with a moderate to strenuous hike with frequent rest to acclimatize our body to the high altitude. The trek starts with the lowest altitude at LUKLA (2,840 meters) and takes us to the highest altitude of KALAPATTHAR (5,545 meters) and EVEREST BASE CAMP (5,364 meters).

Blessed with varied flora and fauna, the Everest region is regarded as the abode of the Sherpa community and is the dream of every trekker to reach the Base of Everest.

However, trekking to Everest Base Camp requires a high level of physical fitness and, preparation before the trek is highly recommended. Here are some of the must-do lists for travelers before the trek.

Physical Fitness: Everest Base Camp Trek is considered a strenuous trek and requires a high level of physical fitness. Your trek will be through steep and rocky terrain in some parts and you will need to hike several hours every day with a light backpack.

For this, you have to prepare yourself with regular cardio exercise, which can be through swimming, cycling, or running, which will help your leg muscles.

Apart from this, train yourself with a hike, carrying a backpack before the trek.

Acclimatize with the altitude: Everest Base Camp Trek is a high-altitude trek leading you to the base of Mount Everest (5,364 meters). The highest point-to-step will be Everest Base Camp (5,364 meters) and /or Kalapatthar (5,545 meters).

Moreover, your highest point for an overnight stay will be Gorakshep (5,140 meters). This makes Everest Base Camp a high-altitude trek and hence altitude sickness might be a serious problem for first-time trekkers. Thus to avoid this, proper acclimatization during the trek makes the entire trek an easy hike.

Travel Insurance: It is highly recommended to have travel insurance covering high altitude evacuation in time of emergency. Please read the policy of your insurance.

Trekking Documents: For Everest Base Camp Trek, you will need three different permits, namely the Sagarmatha National Park Permit, Pasang Lhamnu Permit, and TIMS Card.

Trekking Gears and Equipment: You will need proper trekking clothes and trekking gear for your Everest Base Camp Trek. This mainly depends upon the month of the year you are trekking.

However, a good pair of hiking boots, a warm jacket, a sleeping bag, a trekking pole, sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, etc. are basic to have.

Mentally be prepared: Everest Base Camp Trek is challenging both physically and mentally. This trek requires effort and a certain level of flexibility and patience for long days trek, changes in weather conditions, accommodation, etc.

If trekkers follow all this guidance, their trek will be a flexible way to reach the base of the highest mountain.

We always recommend our clients consult a doctor before their high-altitude trek. This will help you to know about your physical condition and the possibility of trekking at Everest Base Camp. It is always good to carry your recommended basic medicine and first aid kit for any region where the possibility of hospitals and doctors is lacking.

Useful Info

Everest Hike in 2025-2026

Everest is a popular name for many but trekking to the base camp is a dream. This was not an easy trail some decades ago, however with the development of infrastructure everything has changed and the trail to Everest has shortened and can now be accomplished in a short period.

The Everest base camp trek, which used to be a 4-week trek, is now only a 9-day trek from Kathmandu to Kathmandu. This shortness of the trail has made Everest feasible to many and now their dream is no more a dream, it has become a reality and achievable.

Till 2019 AD, every year around 28,000 trekkers used to hike to the Everest base camp but due to the global pandemic Covid-19, trekking to all the regions of Nepal was closed by the central and local government.

This restriction was applicable for almost 8-9 months but now everything seems normal. Trekkers are allowed to trek to all the regions of Nepal including Everest without any restrictions.

Travelers coming to Nepal can now get an on-arrival visa without difficulty, YOU DON'T NEED to show proof of a 72-hour corona-negative report or proof of COVID Vaccination.

The number of trekkers is increasing and the trails are normal and open for trekkers. All the lodges and tea houses are open on the trail and trekkers are welcome. The government has already vaccinated tourism workers and hotel staff, as their safety will take trekkers to remain safe.

Nothing to worry about, it is normal now. Trekkers without any worries can now trek to the Everest base camp in 2024 and 2025 AD.

What to Expect During Everest Base Camp Trek

Accommodation and Food

Everest Trek is entirely a tea house trek, here you will be spending overnight at the local tea houses also known as lodges. These are mainly operated by local Sherpa family members, which makes your stay home far away from your home.

They are friendly members and always love welcoming travelers, Sherpa hospitality is popular worldwide for trekkers. They are very welcoming and will have an opportunity to understand their culture and customs.

Each room will have two beds with separate blankets, pillows, mattresses, and blank sheets. At the lower altitude, you can find an attached bathroom room. However, as you ascend higher this will be rare.

However, there will be western toilets on each floor which can be used as a common toilet and a separate bathroom for showers.

Moreover, the foods are locally based vegetables and they are the perfect and well-trained chefs. Foods vary from Indian, Continental, Italian, Nepali, Tibetan, and many more. You will have multiple options to choose from a menu and are the best in the Himalayas.

Electricity and Internet in Everest Trek 

Although Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the remote trekking trails in the Himalayas, the accessibility of electricity is available everywhere. At the lower altitude, you will be blessed with locally generated power from hydroelectricity, whereas at the higher tea houses and lodges have solar panels to generate electricity.

This helps trekkers to charge their mobile and camera upon payment of a certain sum of local currency.

For internet at the lower altitude tea houses and lodges will have Wi-Fi facilities, however at the higher altitude, you can carry a data pack (SIM Card). This can be used till the base camp of Mount Everest.

So, nothing to worry about electricity and internet during the Everest Base Camp Trekking.

Base Camp Trekking Trail

Upon landing at Lukla airport, your trek begins and ends stopping at the Lukla airport. This whole distance covers 130 Km/ 80 Miles. Trails are well maintained as compared to other routes of the Himalayas.

Due to the popularity of the Everest Base Camp Trek, every year thousands of trekkers visit the Everest region for trekking. This boosts local government to help maintain the trail regularly and hence it can be considered as an easy-going uphill trek to the base camp of Mount Everest.

Everest -Weather and Temperature at Base Camp

Weather in the Himalayas is unpredictable, Due to climate changes, the Himalayas experience unpredictable weather changes. Till Namche Bazaar you will experience rainfall very often. As you ascend higher above 3500M the possibility of raindrops declines.

However, during winter there will be snowfall at higher altitudes including Namche Bazaar. This will be very frequent during the night, so while hiking snowfall gets thinner and rare.

Regarding temperature, during the daytime temperature will range between 5 to 10°C depending upon the altitude, and in winter it will go below -5 to -20°C.

Flight Route and Transportation 

Lukla is the shortest gateway to Everest Base Camp Trek. Every day regularly there are dozens of domestic flights from Kathmandu airport to Lukla (both ways).

However, during peak season only one airport in Kathmandu gets very busy. This creates air traffic for international flights.

Thus, to reduce air traffic, the government in Nepal during peak trekking season diverts all the flights (both ways) to Manthali airport which is a 4-hour drive from Kathmandu. Make sure you have arranged transportation to Manthali from Thamel, This drive will start at 2 am and will take 4 hours to reach Manthali airport.

Any changes that occurred were notified by the minister of aviation some 2 weeks prior. For confirmation, please contact your local travel partner Discover Altitude.

Safety Related to Covid-19

Due to the global pandemic Covid-19, traveling in and around Nepal was restricted for more than a year. However, the government lifted the travel ban.

Now, after the vaccination mission throughout the country, the international border has been reopened for international travelers. Travelers entering Nepal DON'T need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a 72-hour PCR Negative Test report at the port of entry while entering Nepal.

Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty

Everest base camp trek starts from a moderate hike to a strenuous trek, The trek itself starts upon arriving at Lukla 2840m ( 9318ft.) Apart from these Everest Base Camp 5364m (17598 feet) and Kala Patthar 5545m (18192ft) will be our hiking places, where we are not stopping overnight.

It is an easy-going trek, where experience forehand is not required because trekkers will be hiking all through the well-maintained trail. The important point to be noted in the Everest Base Camp Trek is the altitude because we will be trekking at a high elevation where the level of oxygen will be lower than at the normal altitude below 4,000 meters. As the elevation gets higher, we feel tired to hike uphill, to get rid of our tiredness we need to be physically fit.

Trekkers will be hiking all through the well-maintained trail with frequent stops for lunch, tea, coffee, etc. as there are restaurants on the trail apart from our overnight camp.

If trekkers want to spend the extra night for acclimatization or to make the trail shorter, then there are a sufficient number of lodges as well. The only thing is we need to make sure the distance covered in a single day and the altitude we are supposed to stay at overnight should be good enough for our body to acclimatize.

If all this instruction is followed your age and locality of the nation will not be a burden to complete the Everest Base Camp Trek, only thing that matters is the physical and mental outcome with solid determination.

Best Time To Trek Base Camp Everest

Mainly Base Camp Trek is for every season... despite all this, every trekking trail in Nepal has some best times to visit.

Trekking in Base Camp Everest is better during the months of September-November which is Autumn and March-May which is Spring. This is so because of a better view of the high Himalayas with clear blue sky and better visibility as well.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp is also possible during winter which is December and January, only the equipment required will be increased.

As the temperature in the high areas may go below -10 to -15. So warm clothes are highly recommended during winter.

But to speak the truth rainy season is not recommended for the Everest Base Camp trek which is June and July, Below Namche Bazaar normally we can experience rain during the rainy season but the views up in the Himalayas may be cloudy although it doesn’t rain over there.

Trekkers can be seen in the Everest Base Camp region throughout the year but the best weather will be Autumn and Spring with less snowfall varied vegetation and high visibility.

Everest base camp trek in May

Trekking to Everest base camp during May is one of the best times of the year as this month is best both for trekkers and climbers. The weather stays clear so you can get a clear picture of the mountains beside it has a warmer temperature thus you don’t have to deal with extremely cold weather.

During these months you also can enjoy the beautiful rhododendron flower which will amaze you with its different beautiful colors as well as you can see the tents at Everest base camp with climbers preparing to go up on Everest. 

Everest Base Camp Trek with a Local Based Company

While traveling any part of the world, the first and foremost question that comes to any traveler is Can I trust a Local company? This is a normal question to any traveler and will always remain.

Now to clarify your doubt, the first thing we need to know about the local-based trekking company of Nepal is: In the context of Nepal, operating a trekking company is not an easy task.

The agency and the trekking staff member must be highly experienced and should go through all the legal procedures before applying to operate. 

Further, members from the Nepal Tourism Board and Central Bank of Nepal personally, according to their time but separately visit the allocated destination to check the location of the company.

Then, they provide a letter for further processing, which normally takes a couple of months. As per the rules of the government, local companies operating trekking and tours in Nepal must deposit a certain sum of money, making sure that in times of need or any fraud attempt government can compensate the clients and impose a fine.

Further every year, the local company needs to update its status, and every month they need to do the same with the Central Bank of Nepal also known as Nepal Rastra Bank.

The government is very strict when it comes to travel and trekking agencies, and this is mainly to make sure travelers are safe enough while visiting Nepal.

We, Discover Altitude, are a team of highly professional groups engaged in the tourism sector of Nepal for more than 2 decades.

Our experience travels further than our content, our motto is to strengthen the local dwellers while traveling, and we focus on sustainable tourism to promote and maintain the nature and ecological diversity of the region we are trekking to.

Apart from all these, Discover Altitude a local base trekking and tour company provides multiple options for any travelers; we prefer safety while trekking with us.

Moreover, while choosing a locally based company, your effort to strengthen the local economy will be highly appreciated, and also it is cheaper in terms of money as the international company charges a hectic amount of money and further sells the travelers to a local company.

They earn only as the middleman. This is what we have experienced for the last 2 decades.

So it is always suggested to choose a locally based company with a highly experienced team, who are more familiar with the local lifestyle, language, culture, and religion because they always have beautiful stories to tell you about the region you prefer to visit and Discover Altitude is one of them.

Everest Base Camp 15-Days Trek Distance

Everest Base Camp is a short-distance trek into the Himalayas from the hill. This will take us to the highest altitude of 5,545 meters (18,192 feet) at Kalapatthar and 5,364 meters (17,598 feet) at Everest Base Camp from Lukla 2,840 meters(9317 feet). Trek to Everest Base Camp starts after landing at Lukla airport and ends at the same Lukla until we take a flight to Kathmandu.

This Everest Base Camp Trek covers a distance of 130 km approximately, starting from Lukla and ending in Lukla. Apart from this, the time to cover the entire trek is just a 9-days, this excludes 2- extra acclimatization days.

As the entire Everest trek is toward high altitude, trekkers cover 10-13 km per day to accomplish the Everest trek.

15-Days Everest Trek Route

As we all know how popular is Everest trek is for trekkers, climbers, and explorers. This popularity of the Everest region is a gift from Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary when they first scaled Mt. Everest in 1953 AD.

That was the time when the Everest Base Camp trek was a 4-week long trek to reach just the Base Camp of Mt. Everest, through the only trekking route via Jiri.

Now the time has changed and the means of transportation too, have shortened the entire Everest base camp trek to just 9-11 days from Kathmandu to Kathmandu. This shortness of the Everest trek is due to the construction of the domestic airport at Lukla, also known as the gateway to Mt. Everest.

There are two different trekking routes to Everest Base Camp trek, one is via Jiri, a classical trek route to Everest which was followed by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in 1953 AD.

This trek route to Everest base camp takes 24-28 days to complete the entire trek to the base camp but can be shortened to a week if we take an alternative flight from Lukla to Kathmandu.

And the other popular trek route to Everest Base Camp which is 9-11 days is to take a 30-35-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and vice versa. This short route to Everest is one of the most popular routes as well because this is less time-consuming and cheaper as compared to the classical Everest base camp route.

Everest Base Camp Trek Packages

Although there are two trekking routes to Everest Base Camp the most popular one is to take a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and hike further uphill towards the base camp and follow the same or different trail to descend back to Lukla and further take a flight to Kathmandu. Due to its remoteness and diverse landscape reaching the Everest region is not an easy hike for many.

Keeping all this in mind there are numerous trekking packages to reach Everest base camp. All these packages apply to any age group and gender, to experience hikers to a layman, etc.

Discover Altitude Treks has numerous Everest trekking packages that can be useful to any trekkers depending upon their physical level, age, time frame, budget, etc.

Some of the popular trekking packages are Everest Base Camp Trek-15 days, Everest Base Camp Trek 16-days, 9 days Everest Base Camp Trek, Everest Base Camp for Senior Citizens, Kalapatthar Trek, Everest Base Camp Trek via Gokyo and Chola-Pass, Best Everest Base Camp Panorama Trek, Everest Base Camp and Ama Dablam Base Camp Trek, Everest Three Pass Trek, Short Everest View Trek, and Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour.

These are some of the best-selected packages for the Everest Base Camp trek, further trekkers can customize and can select their own tailor-made packages of interest.

Everest Base Camp Trek Cost and Services

Everest Base Camp is one of the most popular trekking and touring destinations in Nepal and also the most preferred trekking destination around the globe. This is so because of the diversity of ecology, culture, and vegetation at such high altitudes.

Everest Base Camp Trek Cost varies between local base inbound and outbound companies when you choose a locally-based company for Everest Base Camp Trek; the price is much cheaper. Further within the locally based company, there is variation in cost for Everest Base Camp Trek.

This is so because of the services they allocate to travelers and also the number of days for the entire trek. Discover Altitude has multiple options for Everest Base Camp Trek with different services and the number of days as well.

We normally arrange multiple options according to your physical fitness level, age group, and your restricted time frame in Nepal.

We are here to help any trekkers according to their budget limit by customizing the trek packages in their time frame, which may be through increasing or decreasing the number of days or by arranging the services accordingly.

Amazing EBC trek

I did a private EBC trek visiting Kala Patthar and Ama Dablam base camp with Discover Altitude in November 2024. The trip was fantastic and my guide Teju was amazing! Kumar and Santosh (owner of the agency and his colleague) are super friendly, they greet you at the airport and drop you off when you’re leaving, you get a detailed trip briefing before you leave. My guide Teju was very helpful and knowledgeable, he does the best practices about acclimating to altitude and keeping his clients healthy with constant reminders about proper clothing and using your buff to avoid dust. We got back to Kathmandu without the infamous Khumbu cough! Booking the private trek was a great option for me as I could customize my itinerary any way I wanted and go at the pace that worked for me.
I very highly recommend Discover Altitude, they’re an amazing team and reliable and knowledgeable partners in Nepal!

Amazing EBC and Kalapatthar Trek Experience with Discover Altitude

I recently completed the Everest Base Trek with Kalapatthar, guided by Discover Altitude, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. As a solo traveler, I felt well-supported and safe throughout the entire journey. Santosh, my guide, was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. The trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding, and the team’s professionalism made it even more memorable.
Highly recommend Discover Altitude for anyone looking to trek in Nepal

Your search for a trekking company can stop here!

I can’t say enough great things about Kumar and Santosh at Discover Altitude. They set my trip up with minimal notice, even made some custom changes and everything went perfectly. They have great connections for everything tourism in Nepal. If you want a guide to show you around Kathmandu-they’ve got you. If you want to go for a trek-it’s their bread and butter. If you want to go for an expedition at half the cost of western companies with guides whose experience will blow your mind-easy day. Whether you’re planning a trip for next year or next week they will take care of you like family. They took the time to have tea with me and discuss my trip from start to finish over a map, they held my luggage safely while I was in the mountains, and they checked in at possible friction points (like flights) to make sure everything was going well.

I’ve heard horror stories from backpackers who used other companies and there are a ton around here. It was overwhelming for me to pick one, but Discover Altitude was recommended to me so I figured I’d give them a try. This is now the second trip they planned for me. I also recommended them to some friends who did a luxury Everest view trip with them and had nothing but good things to say. You can roll the dice and try someone else, but if you want to take the safe bet and know that you’ll have an amazing trip at a competitive price there’s no other option.

Great EBC trip

With my friend, we did the Everest Base Camp 9-day trail. The experience was great, though quite intense - but we were well prepared. We saw all the peaks on the way and stayed in nice places with good views and rooms. The views on the way are really great - Amadablan, Everest, Lhotse...
It was a very mind-refreshing and inspiring trip - thanks to Rajesh, our guide, and Bala, our porter!

Everest Base Camp

The Everest Base Camp trek was an amazing experience! My guide, Bhakta, was excellent throughout the journey. He was very informative about the region. He allowed me to set my pace and lead the trek. He was always encouraging, even when the trek got challenging. I have enjoyed his company and learned a great deal about trekking in high altitude. I am grateful to have had such a wonderful human being as my sherpa. I highly recommend him as a guide.

If you want to experience true, kind Nepali hospitality and a great trek, don’t look for another agency.

I had the incredible opportunity to complete 4 different treks with Discover Altitude: Three Passes, ABC, Annapurna Circuit and Langtang. Each time, the experience exceeded my expectations! The owners, Kumar and Santosh, along with their guides are exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and attentive to every detail. Everything was very well planned for all treks, and I felt safe even at the highest altitudes, thanks to their friendly and supportive guides.

There are many agencies to choose from, and I visited many, but when I met Kumar and Santosh the quality of their personalities quickly became evident. They treated me as a friend they genuinely wanted to support, not just a client, caring only about the money. Even if I hadn’t signed up, they would have treated me the same, not as potential or lost business. This authenticity is why I chose them! This was the only agency where I had that gut feeling, which turned out to be correct. They always went the extra mile. Before each trek, they spent a lot of time going through all the details with me to ensure I had everything I needed and was ready to go. They also checked up on me along the way. During all these times, they truly became my friends!

If you want to experience true, kind Nepali hospitality and a great trek, don’t look for another agency. They are also very competitively priced for both solo and group trips! I cannot recommend them highly enough!

A short walk from Jomsom to Muktinath.

We had great dealings with Kumar and the team at Discover Altitude. Kumar was our initial contact, and Santosh was our day to day contact on-the-ground. Their communication was great, and everything went smoothly.

Before departing for Nepal, we emailed Kumar about what we had in mind, and he presented us with different options. We settled on a short trip from Jomsom to Muktinath - flying from Kathmandu to Pokhara and on to Jomsom the next day to commence our hike. (We took the same air-route in reverse on our way back.) In total, the trip was six or seven days, with three days hiking. (This worked out well due to our schedule, but next time we might spend a few more days walking.)

Our guide on the trip was Amar Magar. We really recommend him. (Ask for him by name!) He was thoughtful, organised, and provided clear information on what we were doing each day. His patience and pleasant manner made the trip really enjoyable.

The hike itself was good. The area from Jomsom to Kagbeni (where we stopped for the first night) was primarily along the road and the riverbed, and the scenery was primarily the dry and desolate scenery one might expect of the Mustang area. Kagbeni was a nice village to rest. (There are a number of tea houses, and an interesting temple where one of the monks showed us around.) The walk up to Muktinath the next day was a little bit tough - being a climb of about 1,000 meters. (Not 'technically' tough; more of a challenge due to low fitness levels!) After resting, we visited the Hindu pilgrimage site, which was quite an interesting experience as it attracts a lot of visitors. We stayed the night at a tea house in Muktinath, and then walked back to Jomsom via a different route, stopping at a village called Lupna on the way back. The route from Muktinath to Lupna was probably the highlight of our trip, with much more diverse terrain, including great alpine scenery, fantastic rocky cliffs and forests, and the picturesque village of Lupna itself, with a very old temple and some caves used for solitary retreats.

If you have limited time, then I would recommend the approach we took. It provides a glimpse of the Mustang region (without getting in to the Upper Mustang region, which requires more time and an expensive permit), and a taste of walking in the region. On our walk, we met a number of people who had walked the Annapurna Circuit, taking around two weeks. We might plan better and aim to do that next time!

In terms of practical considerations, noting it was mid-May, we found that we were able to walk in t-shirts and long pants. We carried a lot of warm clothing with us, but didn't need really it. (We were a bit cold briefly after arriving at Muktinath, but generally we didn't use our warm clothing. It would be smart to take something - but no need to take too much.) The bedding provided in the rooms was more than adequate, and we didn't need our own sleeping bags. (Taking a sleeping bag liner might suffice from a cleanliness perspective if this is a concern.)

FAQs

Q1. How difficult is Everest Base Camp Trek?

After the successful summit of Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953 Mt Everest became known to the world. People’s desire to step to the base camp of Mt. Everest increased rapidly and with the development of time new trekking routes were formed and Lukla airport was constructed in 1964 AD, this made the Everest Hike less time-consuming and easily accessible to mountain lovers.

So the Everest Base Camp Trek is now only 130 km in terms of distance and takes 11 days of the trek, of which 2 days is for acclimatization making it only 9 days of the trek. This means around 15 km per day of the hike which includes 7 hours of daily hike.

The trek to the Everest Base Camp starts from a moderate hike to strenuous but with frequent breaks and rest for tea/coffee etc making it a relaxing and enjoyable journey to the foothills of the giant Mt. Everest.

Q2. What is the success rate of Everest Base Camp Trek?

Everest Base Camp Trek is an easy hike into the Himalayas with well-maintained trails, beautiful villages, tea houses, lodges, hospitals, ATMs, banks, etc. it is normal hiking at a nominal pace. If we are physically and mentally fit for the 9 days hike then anyone can step into the base camp of Mt. Everest.

In terms of its success rate, 90 percentage of the trekkers step into the Everest Base Camp but we need to follow the same itinerary, skipping some overnight camp to further shorten our trekking distance may lead us to altitude sickness which may result in the downfall of the entire trek.

Q3. Can we trek to the Everest Base Camp individual/single?

There is no problem for any trekkers in hiking to the Everest Base Camp individual/single, as there is no restriction to trek single in the Everest region apart from some of the restricted region of Nepal like Manaslu and Upper Mustang region.

If we can manage permits for trekking to the Everest Base Camp, we can trek alone but some problems may arise while being single trekkers in the high Himalayas of Nepal.

Among them, some are like accommodation while trekking, if we are single trekkers then we may have a problem in finding room in the tea house and lodges because mainly the trekking guides and the travel agencies have direct access to the lodges and tea houses in the trekking route they booked the room before their arrival, so the lodges and tea houses give priority to the agencies and the guide for their business because they are the regular travellers.

Apart from accommodation facilities, during the snowfall the trail from Namche Bazaar is less crowded will almost no villages on the way trekkers may easily mislead them to the wrong trail because of heavy snowfall as the trail will be blocked by the snow.

This may create a problem for the individual trekkers and also if any difficulty arises while in the high altitude there are fewer possibilities of being rescue for individual trekkers.

Q4. Are there a sufficient amount of accommodation facilities in the Everest Base Camp trek?

Everest Base Camp Trek is filled with lodges, tea-house, and some excellent hotels till Namche Bazaar. Now, normally we may find Wi-Fi facilities in many of the lodges/tea houses (if depends upon the weather as well).

Everest Base Camp Trek is all to the Sagarmatha Conservation Area, so there is a restriction on the number of lodges and tea house to be operated and also the tea house and lodges are with a number of limited rooms and basic facilities due to the restriction by the conservation committee but to the lower altitude till Namche Bazaar we can find a sufficient number of lodges and tea house, as we descend uphill the number of tea house and lodges diminish due to high altitude and other problem including harsh weather condition.

Q5. Is there Wi-Fi facilities in the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal, every year thousands of trekkers prefer to trek to the base camp of Everest, due to its popularity the mobile operating company of Nepal mainly NTC and Ncell have installed their network tower in some of the regions with 4G facilities.

Trekkers can buy the Sim card of their desire network to use the internet during the trek with some data packages, but the reliability of the internet facilities also depends upon the weather condition of the mountains. Apart from these, the lodges and tea house also provide Wi-Fi facilities which are payable for day use.

Q6. Can we charge our electronic gadgets in the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Every lodge and tea house in the Everest region have a sufficient amount of electricity facilities, till Namche Bazzar they use a small community hydropower project for electricity but as we climb uphill the lodges and tea house use a solar panel for the supply of electricity, by paying some reasonable amount of money we can charge our mobile, camera and other gadgets.

But we need to may sure there will not be any charging facilities ( charging point) inside the room of the hotel, all the charging point will be at the hotel counter, so we charge our gadgets and pay the money.

Q7. How much does it cost to complete Everest Base Camp Trek?

Everest Base Camp trek is not as expensive as it used to be before the operation of the Lukla airport, now with the operation of the Lukla airport number of days to accomplish the Everest Trek has diminished to just 11 days trek from Lukla to Lukla which is the starting point and the ending point.

But normally we suggest travellers make their stay in Nepal for almost 14 days if their intention is only to trek to Everest Base Camp. This will make you easy for not being hurried for the international flight back home because sometimes due to poor weather condition the flight to and from Lukla to Manthali airport remain close for a day if this happens then we might be required to book a helicopter to or from Lukla which can be arranged on sharing basis with other travellers, in this case, the price may vary with the actual cost.

If we have sufficient time for the Everest Trek then it will cost you around 1500 to 1700 USD which includes all the permits required for the trek, a two-way domestic flight from Manthali to Lukla and vice versa along with the transportation from Kathmandu to Manthali airport and from Manthali airport to Kathmandu along with your guide and porter to assist all the way to the entire trek and also your accommodation and 3-time meals during the trek only and a couple of nights stay in Kathmandu hotel on BB basis ( Bed and Breakfast)

Q8. Can we drink normal water while in the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Water plays a vital role in the trek, now when it comes to Everest Base Camp Trek drinking a sufficient amount of water is very important for any trekkers, it helps to cope up with dehydration and also to help fight altitude sickness. If you are using some medicine for the trek as Diamox to accomplish the trek then we need to make sure the amount to drinking water level must be increased.

Now talking about the drinking water system in the Himalayas, normally local people including guides and porter use normal water to drink from river, stream, tap water, etc but for travellers, we do not suggest to use the normal water, it may cause diarrhoea, stomach problem, etc. to protect yourself from any upcoming problem trekkers can carry water filter with them or water purifying tablets which can be found in medical stores around Kathmandu.

Apart from all this, every tea houses, lodges in the trekking region has the facility of purified drinking water for the travellers, this can be refilled into your personal water bottle but for that, you need to pay extra which varies from the region and also the altitude you are in an average it may cost you from 1 to 3 USD for a litre of purified drinking water in the Himalayas.

Q9. Is it safe to trek Everest Base Camp ?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions by our valuable clients, as per your information, since the time when Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary first summit Mt. Everest in 1953, everything has changed. They were the ones who popularized Mt. Everest (8848.86M) that can be conquered. Since then lots of changes have occurred in the Everest region also known as the Khumbu region.

Now the trail is easy as compared to some decades ago, local people are helping to keep the trail maintained, the government is acting with their budget spending in these areas. Hotels, tea houses, lodges, hospitals, banks, ATM’s, police and army checkpoint has been established to make sure the safety of trekkers goes on accordingly and in time of need and natural disaster.

So, with the development of information and technology now there is access to the telephone and the internet. Thus, we can assure that Everest Base Camp is much better and safe than the 1953’s.

Q10. Is Nepal safe for women to travel?

Nepal is one of the safest countries for any travellers while being in Nepal you can experience this but need some safety as well. What we suggest in Nepal for solo female travel is that while being in Nepal doesn’t try to experience local transportation for a short distance because in short distance travel there is a limited number of public transportation and passengers more and if you have to stand because of overcrowding of passengers, you may feel you are being touched.

Maintain your full sleeve clothes this will be a sign of respect, wear proper clothes even while trekking. Make sure your clothes are not tight enough to expose or give the shape of your body parts, this may cause you trouble in some places (mainly remote areas).

In the city area normally Nepali women wear comfortable clothes as per their requirement but while being away from the city, clothes do matter a lot, in some areas even the local women may not feel comfortable with the exposing clothes travellers wear.

While trekking alone, make sure you are at your destination before it is dark because we say ‘day is yours and night is theirs’. If you follow all these instructions you will certainly feel very safe and comfortable travelling in Nepal.
