Overview Details

The iconic Everest Base Camp trek is one of the most famous treks in Nepal. As the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest is a well-known place for tourists. It is also known as the highest fascinating adventure mountain throughout the world. It is one of the 6th best-traveled destinations of the mountains due to its natural beauty along with calm, charming, and attractive features. These features make it one of the best vacation destinations among trekkers. This camp trek is the highest trekking endeavor from where you will get to see the entire Himalayan mountain range which is quite spectacular. This camp is also known as a south base camp with 5,364 meters in height. So this camp is one of the most favored places for trekkers and climbers that gives you extra satisfaction with the natural scenarios.

The Everest base camp trek is one of the most famous trekking destinations and this destination is visited by 40,000 people every year because of its natural beauty and enthralling locations. Another important and convenient feature of Everest base camp is easy access to flight, from where trekkers can easily take an air–flight to Lukla and visited Namche Bazar. First-day accommodation at Namche Bazar, second days trek to Dingboche including one-day acclimatization, two days treks to Everest base camp. On the last day, the tourists will reach from Gorakshep to Kala Patthar and get an opportunity to have a close view of the mountain Everest.

14-days Everest Base Camp Trek gives details Itinerary makes a Short Trek is a great option for travelers who have fixed holiday and traveling time in Nepal

Staying in Nepal for two weeks. Wanted to do the EBC & Kalapathar offers far superior views With the highest mountain in worlds It called Mt.Everest 8,848m. At the end of the trip, the tourists return to Namche Bazar and Lukla airport to take an airplane to Kathmandu city.

When is the best time to hike to Everest base camp ( EBC) 2022/2023?

What is the best season to do Everest Base Camp via Kalapather trekking and Hiking?

Spring and autumn two sessions are the best time to visit and hike to EBC. Trekking in these seasons mean a clear sky and tolerable temperature during a trek and expeditions too

Trekking and Hiking to Everest Base Camp in spring (March to May)

Spring is one of the best trekking seasons to hike to EBC. Clear sky and moderate temperature aside, spring offers an array of beautiful flowers during an EBC. This includes Nepal’s national flower rhododendron that will make your hike uphill very pleasant.

Spring is also climbing season in Nepal and one can see many colorful tents pitched on the Everest base camp.

In Nepal, spring runs from March to May. However, late May may see some clouds. Mid-March is really the perfect time in terms of weather and April in terms of rhododendron and other flowers during a trek. These are also the busy times trekking and Mt . Everest expedition and will most probably be crowded during at trail and guest houses

Trekking to Everest Base Camp in summer/ Monsoon (June to August)

From June to August is monsoon time in Nepal, though the clouds stay around till mid-September but must

of time clear weather first of September

Monsoon is not a good time to do an EBC hike. First, views will be blocked most of the time due to rain clouds. Trails will be muddy. It can rain anytime and the next village could be still an hour away. And, snowfall or snowstorm at higher elevations.

Another problem is the delays Ktm-Lukla-Ktm. Flights to and from Lukla can be delayed for as long as a week some time In my guide experience I stuck in Lukla for 7 Days from Bed weather. Even buses and jeeps can be delayed. In fact, they can get stuck in the soft mud en route and it is a real hassle.

The only good news is that leeches aren’t a problem in Everest. However, all things considered, it is better to travel to rain shadow areas like Narphu Valley, Annapurna Circuit, Mustang, Dolpo, and Tibet Lasha (Mt

Kailash) etc. during monsoon.

Trekking to Everest Base Camp in autumn ( September to November )

Autumn is the best and all most crowded season in Nepal Trekking and Travelling, especially October and November. Autumn lasts from September to November.

A clear sky and tolerable temperature are the features of trekking in autumn. Also, by the end of November, it starts to get cold. This does not mean that trekking is not possible, just some extra layers for warmth. People have comfortably traveled to Everest Base Camp well into December too.

Trekking and Hiking to Everest Base Camp in winter :

Winter is not a good time, though not as bad as monsoon it is cold you need warm trekking gear during the trek.

The air is drier and clearer in winter and trekking is absolutely possible but it is not as simple as in peak seasons.

It gets very cold at night so a proper down jacket, down trouser and a good quality sleeping bag is a must. Also, expect heavy snowfall at higher altitudes.

Most of the lodges will be closed during the winter. But then, plenty enough will be open to accommodate the few trekkers ebc trail who travel in winter. This is because the Everest trek is a very popular destination in Nepal.

Permits required to Hike to Everest Base Camp

To do EBC trek, two permits are required :

1: New local permit system is enforced and it can be obtained in Lukla. This will cost Rs 2000

(Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality)

2. Everest National Park Ticket: This is an entrance ticket to Everest National Park and costs Nrs.3000 (around the US $30). ( Sagarmatha National Park Regulations to follow An entry fee of Rs.3000 per person per entry (foreigners) and Rs. 1500 per person per entry (SAARC national) must be paid at the designated ticket counter in Jursalley Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality )

Everest base camp Trek Tea houses/ accommodations

One of the popular treks and at lower altitudes most tea houses will have flush toilets and hot water showers; usually at a cost of around US$ 5/6USD, you can find a suitable accommodation/tea house during Everest base camp trek. The communal area in tea houses tends to be the dining room, in the center of which will be large yak dung burning stove to heat the whole guest house. So if going to Everest base camp during high season like Oct November and April, May. It is much difficult to find a guest house/accommodation because they are a large number of trekkers on a trail they are already reservations a room one or two months before they get very easily room /accommodations.

How fit should you be before you go Everest Base camp Trek?

You should be in the best physical shape possible before embarking on your trek and preferably do some Trekking at altitude a few months before heading to a different party county to help your body acclimatize. If you don’t have mountains near where you live, try to get out for a few multi-day hikes to help your body become accustomed to the

routine of Trekking over consecutive days.

How much money do I need to bring with me?

Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included during a trek , but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 35 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money bring with you. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Bhaktapur/ Patan before or after your trek

Important Message Regarding Kathmandu to Lukla Flight [2022 updated]

Kathmandu to Lukla Flight
We like to let you know all of you that the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal has announced Kathmandu to Lukla flight was changed from Ramechhap Airport to Lukla airport, starting from 1st October 2022. So it means all Lukla flight will be Operated from Ramechhap airport.

How to trek to Everest Base Camp 2022/23

Mount Everest has captivated intrepid men and women since the 1920s. The exploits of legends such as George Mallory, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay put the mighty mountain on the map; thousands have followed, making huge sacrifices – many with their lives – in their own attempts to the summit.

But today, the trek to Everest Base Camp has become an achievable goal for people from all walks of life who want a glimpse of the world’s highest peak. In 2012, between 35,000 and 37,000 people trekked in the Everest region.

What’s it like trekking to Everest Base Camp?

Aside from breathtaking scenery, travelers to the region can experience unique Sherpa culture by visiting monasteries and museums along the way. Days are filled with walking for the sheer pleasure of it, past colorful prayer wheels and across swing bridges straight out of an Indiana Jones movie, while evenings are rewarded with hot food and conversation with like-minded people around the dining-room fire.

The heady mix of natural beauty, fascinating culture and a personal sense of achievement, as well as warm Nepalese hospitality from the people of the solukhumbu region, makes the Everest Base Camp trek one of the world’s most unforgettable.

When should I make the trek?

From March to May and from September to December. It gets hot in May, just before the monsoon season; be prepared for possible rain. December reaches below-zero temperatures but the days are still beautiful and there are fewer trekkers (but remember to wrap up warm in the evenings).

Do I need a guide?

The Nepal government is considering making the hiring of a guide compulsory this season, after the disappearances of some lone trekkers and the death of a Belgian trekker in the Langtang region in June 2012.

But the solo trekking ban has been put on hold, so for now it’s still possible to go it alone. But hiring a guide or porter has many advantages: for US$15 to $20 a day you’re giving someone a valuable job and in turn you will learn plenty about the local culture and natural environment.

A trekking company offers the advantage of having everything arranged for you, including airport transfers, accommodation and porters and/or guides and their insurance. You can book before you go with western tour companies, though you’ll pay significantly less by booking in Kathmandu – ensure they’re registered with the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN). For a list of registered companies visit www.taan.org.np. www.nepalguideinfo.com

How do I get in shape?

Nothing can really prepare you for the trek’s extreme hills and altitude of up to 5545m. But don’t be put off – people with average fitness can do this trek. ‘Slow and steady’ is the key to achieving, and enjoying, your trek.

Prepare with cardiovascular training several times a week: cycling, swimming, hill climbing and lots of walking. Aim for a five-hour walk once a week. Seek out hills or find a tall building and repeatedly walk up and down the stairs.

What should I take?

Pack lightly – aim for 10 to 15 kg. Consider your porter’s load before you include that big bottle of shampoo or pair of jeans.

A fleece jacket, down jacket and thermal underwear are a must, as the Himalaya gets cold above 3000 m any time of the year. Also take two pairs of long pants, two or three T-shirts (synthetic fabrics – not cotton – that wick away sweat), and another warm jumper or light fleece.

Footwear requires lightly broken-in boots, trekking socks, and sneakers or sandals for evenings. You will also need a raincoat, gloves, woolen hat, sunhat and polarized sunglasses. A good sleeping bag (rated to -20°C/0°F) is essential; if it’s winter, a thermal liner makes it extra toasty.

Opt for travel-size toiletries, including a good sunscreen, lip balm, travel towel and tissues. Baby wipes are handy for days when you can’t shower.

Your first aid kit should include medication for diarrhea, antibiotics for a chest or sinus infection, and adhesive bandages for blisters. Visit your doctor for Nepal-specific immunizations. Using two 1 L water bottles with water purification tablets is a reliable and safe way to drink water – and more environmentally friendly than buying bottled water from lodges.
