Additional Info

Everest Base Camp Trek terrain & difficulty 

Everest Base Camp Trek is a moderate trek with a fair share of challenging steep ascends and descends. Mind you, descents are as difficult as ascents, so don't take it lightly and be careful on the track. You will be walking 6 to 7 hours a day at a minimum, therefore you have to be in good health and fitness. 

The trail winds through dense forests and the region get remote with an increase in elevation. You have to walk in thin air before touching EBC, which can get challenging for some trekkers. Along with that, you always have to look for altitude sickness and make sure you do not get any symptoms. You can learn more about altitude sickness here.


Best time to go on Everest Base Camp Trek

To enjoy the trek to its fullest, you have to trek in spring and autumn. Spring (March to April) and autumn (October to November) is the best time of the year to go on the Everest Base Camp Trekking. These seasons have moderate climates and stable weather. 

The trail sees hundreds of flowers bloom in the spring. And autumn adds the warmth of festivity to the environment as the Nepalese celebrate their biggest festivals in this season. 

Trekking Everest Base Camp in winter is possible, but you have to be well prepared to face freezing cold and possible trail blockage. Monsoon is not a good time of the year to trek to EBC.


Food & Accommodation during Everest Base Camp Trek

Everest Base Camp Trekking route is one of the developed trekking routes in the Himalayas, therefore you will get both luxury and budget-friendly accommodations. Our Everest Base Camp Trek package includes a lodge stay. The rooms will be small with limited furniture and a double bed. Likewise, the washroom will be shared/private depending upon the lodge. 

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be given during the trek. The food will be served as per the menu of the lodge. You can get dishes like rice, curries, momo, noodles, pasta, pizza, sandwich, soup, toast, eggs, meat, veggies, porridge, bakery items, tea, coffee, thukpa, etc. 


Tips to make the journey smooth

  • Doble checks all the gears and clothing before embarking on the trek.
  • Carry a reusable water bottle and fill it in the lodge/tea shops along the route. It will save you a lot of money and also keep the environment clean.
  • You may not find ATMs beyond Namche Bazar, so withdraw enough cash to use further on the trail.
  • Do know that you may have to pay a few extra bucks to use services like WiFi, hot shower, and charging booth at some places.
  • Carry a Nepali SIM card to use cellular data on the way (network may not be stable all the time).
  • Carry extra batteries or a solar charger.
  • You can tip any amount you like to the crew members. To give you a general idea, this is what we recommend- USD 100 to porter & guide, USD 5 to the tour guide, and USD 2 to driver.
  • Always walk on the mountainside, especially when yaks and mules are passing by.
  • Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. Hydration is the key to avoiding altitude sickness.
  • Always say Namaste to the locals touching both palms and bending little.

Memorable EBC summit

My friends from Shanghai recommended me Ramesh and Mystic Adventure Holidays for my holidays to Everest Base Camp Trekking. After having some conversation in Wechat, me and my girlfriend decided to join with him to do 14 days hike to Mount Everest Base Camp. It was an amazing experience. From arriving in Nepal to departing from Nepal Ramesh arrange first class hospitality for us. My girlfriend had a problem of mountain sickness from the village of Lobuche but Ramesh and his Sherpa really did care of us. Without the care and support from Ramesh we can't able to summit Mt. Everest Base Camp. And we returned back from Gorakshep by helicopter due to some health issues. Ramesh listen us and managed helicopter on time (next day of our Mt. Everest Base Camp summit). We really enjoy our holiday with Ramesh and his company even we had some health issues. So give him 5 star for his hard work and great hospitality. Thank you Ramesh and Mystic Adventure Holidays for making our holidays beautiful.

"14 days EBC trekking-good experience"

We searched the Internet and booked in advance for our Everest base camp trekking holiday, and we came across Mystic Adventure Holidays' Instagram. I like the appearance of this information and the apparent flexibility allowed by how you want to plan and implement your vacation. Reply to all emails in advance, fast, informative, and helpful. Upon arrival, the company MD Ramesh met us and they extended a warm welcome to us and laid the foundation for the whole trip. We did Trek, the Everest Base Camp for 14 days-we liked it very much, and the support we got from the company was great-we didn't have any worries or worries, we really couldn't ask for it anymore. Ramesh himself, our tour guide is a great guy, and he insisted that we operate as a family for a while we did this and it worked very well... We also organized white water rafting, internal flights, and Company accommodation, all these are planned. We hope to return to Nepal later and hike to Gokyo and Everest Base Camp. Of course, we will use Mystic Adventure Holidays and Ramesh again. I do not hesitate to recommend this company to you if you have any further questions, please feel free to email them.
