Everest Base Camp trek route
Everest base camp (EBC) trek is the most popular trekking destination in Nepal which is widely desired by trekking enthusiasts across the world. It is a lifetime adventure that takes you through lush green forest, passing several villages inhabited by Sherpas, crossing rivers and streams via suspension bridges, trekking beside Mani Walls, chortens, prayer flags, prayer wheels, witnessing the breath-taking views of mountains. March to May, and September to November are the best months of the year to do this trek; with October encountering the highest number of trekkers in the year. The Everest base camp distance ranges throughout 62 kilometres (38.58 miles) with altitude as low as 2,800 meter to as high as 5,545m.
As you begin this trek, you shall pass through several villages inhabited by Sherpas; and when you reach Namche Bazar, you shall find a Sherpa museum there. This trek gives you plenty of time to explore the cultural profile of Sherpa people, as you shall have plenty of time for acclimatization. Acclimatization is the key to any highland trekking; it lets your body adapt in the high altitude areas that are short in oxygen content in the air. Though this trek doesn't require you to have an athletic physique to complete this trek successfully, your body needs to be in moderate fitness that is able to tolerate long hours of walking for some days continuously. Also, ensure that you do not have any problems associated with any part of the body that can directly affect your trekking, such as your ankles and bones.
