What is it Like to Go on The Everest Base Camp Trek?

Mount Everest Base Camp Trek starts with the flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. The thrill begins to take over your soul immediately after landing at the world’s most extreme airport, the Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla. The Khumbu region of Nepal, where Mt. Everest is situated, is much more diversified in terms of nature and culture.

After a night of rest in Phakding, the trek to Ebc continues towards Namche Bazaar. Along the way, trekkers will encounter the thrilling Larpchen Bridge, a highlight that never fails to captivate.

Where Does the Everest Base Camp Trek Take You?

Lukla

Lukla is a small town in the Khumbu region of Nepal. It is located at an altitude of 2,860 meters (9,383 feet) and is the gateway to the Everest region. The town is home to the Tenzing Hillary Airport, which is the only airport in the Everest region. The airport is known for its steep runway and short landing strip, which makes it one of the most dangerous airports in the world.

Namche Bazaar

Namche is a larger town located about 9 kilometers (5.6 miles) from Lukla. It is the main town in the Khumbu region and is a popular stop for trekkers on their way to Everest Base Camp. The town is home to several shops, restaurants, and teahouses, as well as a few hotels. Namche Bazaar is also a good place to acclimatize to the high altitude before continuing your trek.

The Sherpa Culture Museum in Namche Bazaar provides insight into the culture and history of the Sherpa people, who are the indigenous people of the Khumbu region. The museum has several exhibits on Sherpa culture, including clothing, tools, and religious artifacts.

Tengboche Monastery

The Tengboche Monastery is one of the most popular destinations on the Everest Base Camp trek. It is located at an altitude of 3,860 meters and is home to a large community of Sherpas. The monastery is a beautiful example of Tibetan Buddhist architecture and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, including Mount Everest and Ama-Dablam.

Dingboche

Dingboche is a small village located at an altitude of 4,410 meters. It is a popular stop for trekkers to acclimatize to high altitude. There are several teahouses in Dingboche where trekkers can stay and eat.

One of the best things to do in Dingboche is to hike to Nagarshan Hill. Nagarshan Hill is a small mountain located just outside of Dingboche. The hike to Nagarshan Hill offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Amadablam.

Gorakshep

Gorakshep is a small village located at an altitude of 5,164 meters. It is the last village before Everest Base Camp. There are several teahouses in Gorakshep where trekkers can stay and eat.

The Everest Base Camp is located at an altitude of 5,364 meters. It is a popular destination for trekkers to visit. From Everest Base Camp, trekkers can get stunning views of Mount Everest and many other surrounding mountains.

Kala Pattar

Kala Patthar (5545m) is a small mountain located just beneath Mount Pumori. Kala Patthar is one of the most popular viewpoints for trekkers to get even better views of Mount Everest and the surrounding mountains. The hike to Kala Patthar is steep and would be very cold, but it is worth it for the views. This place is probably the highest place to witness a sunrise to remember.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp: Is This Trek Right for You?

Even though the trek to Everest base camp is not an easy mission, nearly anybody who can hike and carry a load (5-6 kilograms) can undertake it given the right conditions. If you are physically fit and don't suffer from any serious illnesses, you can prepare for this Himalayan adventure. In preparation, you should do some exercise and one hour of hiking a day with some load a month before the trip starts. Your training will make it easier for you to complete the trip. Your trek to Everest base camp will be worthwhile and may become a lifetime memory.

How to Prepare Yourself for the Everest Base Camp Trek

To make your EBC hike a more enjoyable experience, it is important to prepare yourself physically and mentally. The Mount Everest base camp trek is a challenging one, and you will be hiking for up to 12 days up and downhill on an uneven trail with a 5-6 kilo daypack. It is therefore important to start building your strength and endurance a few months before the trip.

Regular exercise, including hiking with some load, can help strengthen your muscles and prepare your lungs for the lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes. You should also focus on building your cardiovascular fitness by doing activities such as running, swimming, or cycling.

In addition to physical preparation, it is also important to prepare yourself mentally for the trek. The EBC trek can be physically and emotionally challenging, so it is important to be mentally strong and determined. You should also be prepared for the possibility of altitude sickness, which can cause nausea, vomiting, and headaches.

Here are some additional tips for preparing for your trek:

  • Eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water.
  • Pack the light and bring only the essentials.
  • Be aware of the risks of altitude sickness and take precautions to avoid it.
  • Listen to your body, hike slowly, and take breaks when you need them.

    Absolutely Incredible Experience

    This trek was absolutely incredible and I highly recommend it! Raj is an incredible guide and human in general, and it was a pleasure to work with him. He is very knowledgeable about the names of mountains, history of them, and plants and wildlife, so learning along the way was a bonus. If you’re thinking about doing this trek just do it, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend booking directly with a Nepalese company (preferably with Raj and Green Society Adventures!)

    A worthwhile & awe inspiring adventure

    I had the opportunity to do the EBC this past April with Raj & Green Society Adventure. He, the porters (who hauled our packs from teahouse to teahouse and back - so thankful for them!), and his assistant guide Sange made our experience a memorable one. Everything was planned out and organized prior and during the trip. The itinerary and hike times sent out were accurate! Raj took care of the teahouse and trail meals for us on the trip which was a nice plus. Amongst 4 trekkers, it was a nice convenience to have the check dealt and managed for us so that all we had to worry about was the hiking, eating & hydrating!

    In regards to logistics: For 4 hikers, there was Raj (our main guide) and an assistant guide. 1 guide per 2 hikers. This is nice in case any hiccups on the trail/trip occur, some hikers may be faster or slower than others etc. There were 2 porters. Two packs at max 12kg per hiker, which to them is not heavy at all! I saw multiple heavy packs on porters throughout the trail and I am happy to say that Raj and his company are mindful of the weight the porters are carrying making sure to not overload them. :)

    My friend who I did EBC with has hiked with Raj in the past. As a past reviewer mentioned, it is nice to cut out the 3rd party and directly work with a Nepalese company. I am happy to support and would highly recommend Raj & Green Society Adventure in the future!

Checklist: What Should You Pack for the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Preparation is essential when you book the 14-day trek to Everest base camp. For easy and comfortable travel, do get prepared as early as you can. Some of the equipment can hire when you arrive here in Nepal. So, keep in mind that you don’t have to buy all the equipment, which is very expensive and not usable after the Everest base camp trek.

Basically, you need a comfortably fitted day backpack since you are carrying it every day for 5 to 6 hours. Make sure your backpack is waterproof, or it has a special cover. Check the link for the trekking equipment list and pick up all the essential needs for yourself. And if you need to discuss more the equipment, please feel free to ask us.

Best Time for Everest Base Camp Trek

Basically, there are two best seasons for the Everest base camp trek. One is from March to May. At this time weather normally get clear and the view of the Mountains is breathtaking. This is the blooming time of Rhododendron, if you love flowers then the mesmerizing colorful forest steals your heart. Temperature is expected to be 25°C to -5°Cduring this season pretty much warm.

September to November is another best time for the EBC trek. During this time, we can expect some rain and snow, but the weather normally gets clear & cooler. Temperature is expected to be 20°C to -15 during this season and the view of the mountains is amazing.

Everest Trek - Flight to Lukla

An exciting flight to Lukla is the least demanding way to reach and bring your Everest base camp trek. The Tenzing-Hillary airport in Lukla is one of the highest and most extraordinary in the world and it has its claim challenges. The Topmost among them is the weather. Surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the world, the weather in Lukla is unpredictable and changes often. It would be clear and sunny one minute, and soon after could be cloudy, and everything would turn hazy. Flights work as they were when the climate is steady and permeability clear.

The chances of getting canceled the Lukla flight is dependent on weather condition. Which happens frequently. If so, your EBC Trekking may get extended by a day or two. So please be prepared and keep barrier days so that you may not miss your international flight.

If there is a long delay due to bad weather, we will secure a space for you on a helicopter flight. The cost for the Heli flight is not included in the trip price and should be taken by you.

Due to overcrowding at the Kathmandu airport during the high season (Spring- March, April, Autumn - October, November), flights to and from Lukla operate from Manthali Airport in Ramechhap. The airport lies 132km (4hrs drive) from Kathmandu. If you book your trip early, we can try to secure a place for you on the direct flight to or from Lukla. It will be easier and more comfortable

Altitude Sickness & Acclimatization

Keep in mind, that will be trekking to the world’s prominence Mount Everest base camp, the height level is over 5000 meters. At each height, you pick up the oxygen level is gotten low. Less oxygen within the climate may make trouble a bit for breathing. Quick walking without appropriate rest and acclimatization increases the chances of AMS or elevation affliction. To acclimatize your body to thin air, you wish to walk gradually and relentlessly with a bounty of rest and keep your body hydrated to avoid altitude sickness.

Drinking Water

Drinking enough purified water and keeping your body dihydride is very important while you are on the trip to Everest base camp. During the trek, one should drink 3-4 liters of water every day.

On this trek buying bottled water is expensive ($1 to $5) and water bottles add up to the thrashing problem in the mountains, so we highly recommend carrying a reusable water bottle with you. You can fill the water bottle in lodges and can use an inbuilt filtration system like Life Straw or Steripen. You can also use water purification tablets to treat the water.
