Boiled or bottled water is available at teahouses, but it’s strongly recommended to carry water purification tablets or a portable filter to ensure safe drinking water throughout the trek.
Note: We humbly request you don’t drink/eat milky and meat items (hot chocolate, milk coffee, and milk tea) because milk is powder and not boiled.

Pre-monsoon (March–May) and post-monsoon (late September–November) are ideal for clear skies, good weather, and panoramic mountain views. Winter is extremely cold, and summer brings monsoon rains and slippery trails.
Typically 12–14 days from Lukla to EBC and back, including acclimatization days. Some itineraries can extend to 16–18 days for slower pacing or additional side treks like Gokyo Lakes.
No formal experience is required, but good physical fitness is important due to long trekking hours, steep paths, and high altitude. Training hikes, cardio, and leg strength exercises help.
Moderate to challenging, mostly because of altitude rather than technical difficulty. Proper acclimatization is key to avoiding altitude sickness.

Yes, hiring a guide and a reputable trekking company is highly recommended for the Everest Base Camp Trek. While it’s possible to trek independently, having a guide brings safety, local knowledge, and peace of mind.
Safety first: The trek involves high altitude, unpredictable weather, and remote trails. If any health issues, altitude sickness, or emergencies occur, a trained guide and agency can provide immediate support, including arranging evacuations if necessary.
Smooth experience: Guides handle permits, accommodation bookings, and navigation, so you can focus on enjoying the breathtaking scenery rather than worrying about logistics.
Local expertise: Guides share insights about Sherpa culture, traditions, and the natural environment, making the trek richer and more memorable.
Problem prevention: Without a guide or agency, you may face delays, missing permits, or difficulties in remote areas, which can turn minor issues into major problems.
Mostly tea houses and lodges with basic facilities: beds, blankets, and shared bathrooms. Larger villages like Namche Bazaar offer slightly better amenities.
Dal bhat, noodles, momos, soups, pasta, and some Western dishes. Food prices rise with altitude. Bring energy bars and snacks for longer trekking days.
Altitude sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), occurs when your body is exposed to high altitudes too quickly and cannot get enough oxygen. The Everest Base Camp Trek takes you from Lukla (2,860 m) to EBC (5,364 m), which is significantly higher than most people’s usual environment.
At high altitudes, air pressure drops, so each breath contains less oxygen. Your body needs time to adjust by increasing breathing rate, heart rate, and red blood cell production. If you ascend too quickly, your body cannot acclimatize, leading to AMS.
Headache
Nausea or vomiting
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Fatigue or weakness
Loss of appetite
Difficulty sleeping
Severe AMS can develop into life-threatening conditions such as:
High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE): Fluid in the lungs causes shortness of breath, cough, and extreme fatigue.
High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE): Swelling in the brain causing confusion, loss of coordination, and potentially coma.
Trekkers who ascend too quickly without acclimatization.
People with pre-existing medical conditions, like heart or lung problems.
First-time high-altitude trekkers, though, anyone can get AMS regardless of fitness level.
Ascend slowly: Follow the “climb high, sleep low” principle. Take acclimatization days at Namche Bazaar (3,440 m) or Dingboche (4,360 m).
Hydrate well: Drink 3–4 liters of water daily. Avoid excessive alcohol or caffeine.
Avoid overexertion: Walk at a comfortable pace and rest frequently.
Medication (optional): Some trekkers take Diamox (acetazolamide) under medical guidance to help acclimatization.
Know the warning signs: Descend immediately if severe symptoms like confusion, breathlessness at rest, or swelling appear.
Mild symptoms can be managed with rest, hydration, and pain relief.
Moderate to severe AMS requires descending to a lower altitude immediately.
Oxygen cylinders and local medical facilities are available at some points along the trek.
Yes, but coverage is limited. Ncell and Nepal Telecom have signals in most villages. The internet is available in lodges, usually via Wi-Fi for a small fee.
Yes, but solo trekkers should join with a trekking agency or join a group for safety, especially at high altitudes and in remote areas.
Possible but very cold with shorter daylight hours. Some lodges may close. Snow can make trails slippery and risky. Proper winter gear is essential, and an organized trekking agency.
USD 1,500–2,500 with guide, porter, and full board support. Costs rise in peak season (spring and autumn).
Yes, helicopter rescue services exist in case of serious illness or injury. Travel insurance covering high-altitude trekking is strongly recommended.
You should comfortably walk 4–6 hours per day on uneven trails, carry a daypack, and have moderate endurance. Cardio, hiking, and strength training beforehand help immensely.
Possible for fit children (10+) and older adults (up to 65+), but pacing must be slower, with careful acclimatization and health monitoring.
