    Everest Base Camp is not an easy trek. Most of the trekking days involves long rocky path that go uphill and downhill.  Average fitness is required not to be in the pain make sure you have enough walking experience to enjoy the trek. Most of the days include 4-7 hours walking. Altitude can be the problem too so  drinking lots of fluids and going slowly is important to avoid altitude sickness.

Your Trekking guide has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns.  Since this adventure entails travelling in remote mountainous regions, we cannot guarantee that we will not deviate from it. The Guide will try to ensure that the trip runs according to plan, but please be prepared to be flexible if required.

However, the temperature during winter could be harsh for most guests and there chance to get snow too.

    This trip was once in a life time adventure. We were met at the airport with huge smiles and friendly faces. We were driven accross the chaotic Khatmandu straight to our hotel and much needed beds after a long journey. The guides made us very relaxed and were incredibly knowledgeable on all things trekking and Nepal. They looked after every one of us and were always watching us to see how each of us were coping with the altitude (a tricky job as our group was 16 strong!) We took internal flights to Lukhla airport and from there began our 10 dat trek. We had been advised of all the things we needed to pack by the tour company. Anything that we didn't have witg us could easily be purchased on the trekking route. The trek itself was not too taxing however with the addition of altitude sickness some days proved pretty tough. Again the guides were always on hand to give advice and tend to us and made sure all of us were fit for the nect days travelling. We had a 100% success rate with 16/16 making it to base camp and enjoying the stunning views on the way up. I was very surprised at how well we were fed on the trek. I packed a vast amount if snacks to supplement the meals but these were really not needed. I'd like to thank Saligram, 'Neymar', 'Dick' and all the wonderful porters that made this an adventure I will never forget. Too many highlights to mention but Nepal is a wonderful country with great hospitality. Thanks Mountain World Namaste[ Back ]
