Everest Base Camp Trek Best Season
In the higher parts of this region, the weather can get really cold and tough. But, there are times when it gets milder which makes it great for trekking. It is important to know the weather patterns when you are planning for the Everest Base Camp Trek.
Spring is a super popular season to trek in the Nepal Himalayas. There might still be a bit of snow if winter is ending. But overall, the weather is stable and dry making this season perfect for trekking and climbing. It is also a great time for blooming rhododendrons, and many Everest summits happen in spring. So, in the spring season, you might likely meet lots of climbers.
Autumn is another fantastic season. It’s colder, especially at night, but you get amazing views. Plus, you can explore less crowded routes with equally stunning scenery.
Winter is very cold, but you can still trek. Days are shorter, there’s more snow, and you might cross big passes. The weather is stable and dry, so the classic route is doable. If you don’t mind the cold and want fewer crowds, winter trekking could be for you.
During the monsoon season, it rains a lot. The routes are quiet, with only the bravest trekkers facing the rain. Slippery trails, leeches, and poor mountain views usually discourage most people from visiting.
Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty
Trek to Everest Base Camp is kind of like a moderate-level difficulty. It usually takes about two weeks to complete the trek. You don’t have to be a trekking expert but it is good to be determined and physically fit.
The tough part is dealing with the high altitude and low oxygen levels. The trek starts from 3,000 meters, and the base camp is 5,400 meters above sea level. It is smart to get advice from a doctor and read up on altitude sickness before you start the trek.
Even though the distance isn’t huge, the trek is on high ground and not on nice, smooth paths. It’s more like rocky, steep trails. To get up and down, people use yaks, porters, and Sherpas. They carry stuff, and these guys are like the taxis of Everest Base Camp.
Altitude Sickness
Altitude sickness can happen when you go to high places like Mount Everest Base Camp without letting your body get used to it. A lot of people worry about how they would feel at such heights before going on a trek to Everest Base Camp. It is important to prepare for Everest Base Camp even if it is not the highest point.
If you are cautious and take the proper precautions, you should simply feel the normal effects of being in a high elevation. However, if you walk too fast then you risk suffering from extreme mountain sickness. This is when your body can’t adjust to the lower oxygen levels as you go higher. Dehydration, drinking alcohol, and not getting enough sleep can also bring altitude sickness.
Being aware of the symptoms and telling your trek leader is essential to avoiding altitude sickness during the Everest Base Camp trip. It is possible to reduce your risk of illness in addition to these additional measures. Making steady progress while taking enough acclimatization to allow your body to acclimate is important. Make sure to sleep in places that are lower than our daily walking routes. We’ll make sure you drink enough water along the way. Drinking at least five liters of water each day on your trek can help you keep hydrated and prevent altitude sickness.
Everest Base Camp Trek Permit
To do the Everest Base Camp Trek, you need two permits. One is the Khumbu Rural Municipality Permit, which costs NPR 2,000 per person for the first four weeks for foreigners. After four weeks, it becomes Rs. 2,500 per person. No VAT is added.
The second permit is the Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit. For foreign nationals, it’s NPR 3,000 per person, while for SAARC nationals, it’s NPR 1,500. Nepalis pay NPR 100, and there’s an extra 13% VAT. Kids under 10 enter for free, and you need your passport for this permit.
Food, Accommodation, Transportation
It is crucial to eat the right foods to keep your energy up during the Everest Base Camp Trek. You will mostly find Nepalese food on your trek, which is full of flavors and spices. A common dish is lentil soup (Dal), rice (Bhat), and vegetables (Tarkari), providing the protein and carbs you need for long hikes.
What’s special about this trek is the variety of accommodations available. Small lodges are scattered along the trail, offering basic amenities and a unique cultural experience. Though simple, these lodges give you a cozy place to rest after a day of trekking. The rooms vary from more comfortable Western-style toilets to basic squat toilets, depending on the location.
The Everest Base Camp trek starts with a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. The flight takes about 30-40 minutes which is the quickest and most reliable transportation. If you’re on a tight schedule or prefer a more comfortable trek, you can even do an Everest Base Camp trek with a helicopter tour. For those with more time, there’s also the option of a longer trek from Jiri to Everest Base Camp.
EBC Trek Internet Facilities
The easiest way to get on the internet is using your mobile phone, and you can do this on the Everest Base Camp Trek. Since 2010, there’s been 3G connectivity provided by a Nepalese company linked to a Swedish one. They’ve set up base stations along the trek, from Lukla to Gorak Shep. The mobile internet is fast, letting you browse and make video calls, which is much cheaper than using satellite phones. Many trekkers find this mobile internet good enough for their needs.
There are Wi-Fi connections during the trek, but they are limited to certain higher altitudes. Because of the high terrain, you might also experience a slow connection. Traditional Wi-Fi spots are there too, but they’re not free and not very common. That’s why we suggest getting a SIM card and using 3G.
Travel Insurance
It’s important to get proper insurance coverage if you plan on going to Everest Base Camp. Even small injuries like an ankle injury can become a big problem in this remote area. Insurance helps cover the costs and logistics of unexpected situations. Choosing the right insurance can be tricky because the details can be lengthy and confusing.
While accidents during mountain treks are not common, they can still happen. Being in a remote area and at high altitudes can turn minor injuries into serious issues quickly. Your insurance should cover the possibility of a helicopter evacuation in case of a severe injury or altitude sickness. Make sure this is included in the standard hospitalization coverage of your insurance policy.
