The best time to travel
Everest Base
Camp Trek is best in the fall (September through November) and spring (March
through May). During this time, you will get clear sky, and the view is outstanding.
The weather is perfect for trek without big rain. You will also enjoy lush flora
in the lower regions, particularly during the spring season.
Trekking grade:
The Everest base camp trek is a pretty
challenging journey. It's a moderately long hike that leads to the highest
mountain in the country. Therefore, travellers need more energy, and the trip
is exhausting, including 6-8 hours. (approx.) walk on the rocky edges per day.
It does not require any previous trekking hiking knowledge, but you need to be
physically healthy and better if you exercise regularly. If you like to hike
high up, this trip is for you.
Baggage:
The porters carry and transport your
luggage during the entire mountain trekking trip. You must bring a water
bottle, sunscreen, camera, spare jacket, etc. Your main baggage is your
trekking bag, and you can carry a small zippered bag that provides security. A
free Luggage room is available at the Kathmandu Hotel. The permissible weight
of the national airlines in Nepal is up to 15 kg. For more weight, depending on
the region, you'll have to pay $ 1 per kg.
One of the most common questions asked is how difficult it is to go to Everest Base Camp. It's a common question. For people who are used to walking long distances with a loaded backpack, the hike could be relatively easy for them. For people who do not have access to the hills or are not used to hiking or exercising regularly, they will consider hard for this trip and will likely find it very difficult. The older it is, the more training is required.
To date, we have traveled to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar more than 25 times and climbed to the top of Mount Everest. We and other members of our team have made the trip many times, but each time it's different! Proper travel training and preparation are crucial for your enjoyment, safety, and the success of the trip.
