Everest Base Camp Trek Overview

Geographically speaking, Everest Base Camp Trek is a journey between Nepal and the Tibetan plateau.

You can say Everest Base Camp Trek is the perfect trekking region to shoot photos in the world. It has what your country does not have. It is a trekking region that has a beautiful green forest and snow-covered mountains. There are foothills from where you start your trek and see the trekking trail in front of you as well as the one you have done previously. After overcoming what you can call walking challenges, there are moraines and glaciers that had been formed in course of time that needs to be respected from the bottom of our hearts, the greatest appreciation you can ever show to amazing landscapes of nature.

Travel Max Guide has swallowed all the corners of the Everest Trekking region and takes you to the base of the world’s highest mountain or to the highest elevation you occasionally reach in your lifetime. The trekking trail makes you sweat, but during this time, you will have a company of a helpful guide and a porter, who will be walking along with you or in front of you, carrying your belongings up to 30 kg (shared with two trekkers), telling you in a remote trekking region he has walked this place many times.

Everest Trekking is also the showcase of the Sherpa cultures that you see in their lodges and on the trekking trails. It is also a journey to the suspension bridges and huge boulders that have stood against the challenges of time and that had been formed naturally millions of years ago when two countries Nepal and India collided.

The quickest and fastest way to start Everest Base Camp Trek is from Lukla, the only place in the Everest region to have an airport so far.

This trek is like having an experience of the world’s greatest heights, being in the midst of the beautiful mountains which makes you can only say wow, wow, and wow, and is the only trek in the world that welcomes from moderate to experienced to beginner trekkers.

The trekking trail of Everest Base Camp heads to a higher altitude, so there is a chance of Altitude Mountain Sickness.

You may be affected by Altitude Mountain Sickness at 2000 m plus, or you may not. Some are affected by Altitude Mountain Sickness at 4000 m plus. Suppose you are affected by Altitude Mountain Sickness; you will have to descend to a lower altitude. Even after descending if there is no improvement, then you will need a helicopter. The helicopter takes you to Kathmandu. The helicopter fare comes under travel insurance. This is the reason why Travel Max Guide tells you to do travel insurance. Please read the clauses of travel insurance before signing the paper in your country. Does the clause cover 4000 m or 5000 m plus altitude?  Does your insurance company pay you for Helicopter Rescue Service at an altitude of 4000 m plus or 5000 m? Please bring a copy of travel insurance to Nepal. This is very, very important before coming to Nepal.

Accommodation in Kathmandu and in the Himalayas

In Kathmandu, you are going to stay at a 3-star hotel. During the trekking, you will stay in a tea house (lodge). The tea house is an old name that the trekking agency used for a lodge, and they have been using it since the time of Hillary and Tenzing because at that time, it used to sell only tea, now; they also provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including accommodation. Tea house differs from village to village because some have attached bathrooms and running water, while others have only basic facilities. This is so because they are located at a high altitude as well as in a remote area.

Some important information you should have before Everest Base Camp Trek

Add extra days to your Everest Base Camp Trek to be on the safe side

Very well, you know the trek takes place in the mountainous region, and the Lukla domestic airport lies on the top of a hill. The weather over there is bound to change. As a result, the Lukla flight might delay your international flight indirectly. So, it would be a wise decision to add some extra days to Everest Base Camp Trek.

Carrying some extra cash helps you

The service of Travel Max Guide includes accommodation and meals, including coffee and tea. But you should pay for beverages like beer and soft drinks. Tipping is expected by a trekking guide and a porter, and how much you should tip is completely up to you?

How will be your trekking days?

With tea and coffee, you start your day. After that you will have your breakfast, then your trek starts either from 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. Walking uphill and downhill, you will reach from one village to another. Lunch, tea, and coffee will be provided at the best lodges by a guide along the trekking trail in villages. Dinner will be served from 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. in the next village.

Travel Max Guide needs 100% physical fitness for Everest Base Camp Trek

If you have blood pressure, no problem, you can buy its medicine in Nepal. Besides this, you should build your confidence by walking uphill and downhill. Since you live in a city, you should go jogging for at least one month. Walking on the plain also builds up your confidence. In addition to this, you should have a positive attitude because you are going to head to one of the most underdeveloped countries in the world.

Please Note: The EBC Trek Package includes fixed departure dates from Kathmandu and can be suitably fitted to accommodate your needs and requirements. If the departure dates do not suit you, then let us know. The itinerary listed above is a general guideline; please be advised that it might be necessary to modify it. Travel Max Guide is not accountable for the results of delays or changes beyond its control like weather and political issues. In the event of an Itinerary adjustment or the need to redirect to other trails and areas, the Guide will ultimately make the final choice.
