What is the best time to do the Everest Base Camp Trek?

The best times to trek to Everest Base Camp are during the pre-monsoon (March-May) and post-monsoon (September-November) seasons. These periods offer the best weather conditions and clear mountain views.

How difficult is the Everest Base Camp Trek?

The trek is considered moderate to challenging. It requires good physical fitness, as trekkers will be walking 5-8 hours daily, often at high altitudes. Proper acclimatization is essential.

What kind of accommodation is available on the trek?

Accommodation during the trek is in teahouses, which provide basic facilities including a bed, meals, and shared bathrooms. The teahouses are comfortable but do not offer luxury amenities.

Do I need prior trekking experience?

While prior trekking experience is beneficial, it is not mandatory. However, good physical fitness and preparation are essential due to the challenging nature of the trek and the high altitudes involved.

What happens in case of an emergency?

In case of an emergency, such as severe altitude sickness, our guide will assess the situation and decide on the best course of action. This may include descending to a lower altitude or arranging for a helicopter evacuation, which is why travel insurance is strongly recommended.

What should I pack for the trek?

You should pack warm clothing, a good quality sleeping bag, trekking boots, a daypack, trekking poles, and other essential items like a first-aid kit, sunscreen, and a water purifier. A detailed packing list will be provided upon booking.
