General FAQs

  • What is Everest Base Camp trekking

    Everest Base Camp trekking is a challenging and rewarding adventure that takes you to the base camp of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. The trek starts from Lukla and takes you through the beautiful Khumbu Valley, Sherpa villages, and the Sagarmatha National Park to reach the base camp.  

  • How difficult is the Everest Base Camp trek

    The Everest Base Camp trek is considered a challenging trek due to the altitude and the terrain. Trekkers must be physically fit and have experience with long, strenuous hikes.

  • How long does the trek take

    The trek usually takes around 12-14 days, including acclimatization days.

  • When is the best time to trek to Everest Base Camp

    The best time to trek to Everest Base Camp is from late September to early December and from March to May. These months offer the best weather and visibility.

  • Do I need a permit to trek to Everest Base Camp

    Yes, you need a permit to trek to Everest Base Camp. You will need a Sagarmatha National Park Permit and a TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card.

  • Do I need special gear or equipment for the trek

    Yes, you will need to bring appropriate gear and equipment, including good quality hiking boots, warm clothing, a down jacket, a sleeping bag, and a backpack. It is also recommended to bring trekking poles, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen.

  • Is it safe to trek to Everest Base Camp

    Trekking to Everest Base Camp is generally safe if you take necessary precautions and follow the guidelines provided by your trekking agency or guide. However, altitude sickness can be a significant risk at high altitudes, so proper acclimatization is crucial. Moreover, the weather conditions can be unpredictable, and the terrain can be challenging, so it's essential to choose a reputable trekking agency with experienced guides and porters.

  • Can I hire a guide and porter for the trek

    Yes, it is recommended to hire a guide and porter for the trek. A guide can help with navigation, provide information about the area, and ensure your safety. A porter can carry your heavy equipment and relieve you of some of the physical burden.

  • What is the accommodation like during the trek

    Accommodation during the trek is basic and usually consists of teahouses, which are small lodges that offer simple meals and a place to sleep. Some teahouses have shared bathrooms, while others have private facilities.

  • What should I do if I experience altitude sickness

    If you experience altitude sickness, it is important to descend to a lower elevation immediately. Rest, hydrate, and take medication as prescribed. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

  • Can I trek to Everest Base Camp without prior trekking experience

    It is not recommended to trek to Everest Base Camp without prior trekking experience. The trek is physically demanding and requires a high level of fitness and endurance. It is important to prepare adequately and to have some experience with long, strenuous hikes.

  • Can I do the Everest Base Camp trek solo

    It's possible to do the Everest Base Camp trek solo, but it's not recommended. The terrain can be challenging, and altitude sickness can be a significant risk, so it's essential to have an experienced guide and porter who can provide assistance in case of emergencies. Moreover, traveling with a group or a guide can make the trek more enjoyable and memorable.

    Warm and friendly welcome to Nepal & incredible adventures - thank you!! Apr 2019 • Friends I have used Mountain Hiking and Trekking twice so far. Each time I come back to Nepal I fall in love with it even more! And I know this is in huge part thanks to Tandi and his amazing team. I've done two treks with them (one to Everest Basecamp, which I plan to do again with Tandi someday soon, another was in midlands Kathmandu, Chesopani - which was beautiful and just the type of trek we were looking for). I have my eyes set on a few more trekking adventures with Mountain Hiking and Trekking in Nepal. They take such good care of us each time, welcoming smiles, all details arranged and a lot of time and attention before the trip to make sure we are happy with the itinerary and plans. The guides are so knowledgeable and easy to become friends with. I highly recommend Tandi for his professionalism and for his human and funny side too! This is a real gem of a company!
