The Everest region is a beautiful place to visit and Everest Base Camp Trek is an ambition for many trekkers. Trekking to the base of the world’s highest mountain is a fantastic achievement and it is well worth the effort. Realistically, most of us are not going to be able to achieve this! But if you are of good fitness and strong determination, you can make it to Everest Base Camp! And between you and me, the views of Everest from Kalapatthar are the most spectacular you can get without having to spend weeks trudging up to the summit!
Naturally, to preserve the beauty that surrounds Mt. Everest and the other mountains in the Himalayan range, the Government of Nepal imposes permit entrance fees. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay may have been the people to put the Khumbu on the map but since then countless mountaineers and trekkers have enjoyed the beauty of the likes of Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Goyko Lakes, and much more. Let’s ensure this area stays as it is for future trekkers and Nepali people.
The Allure of Mount Everest, and the Everest Base Camp Trek brings us back time and time again. We boast a 95% success rate to date on our Everest base camp trek, this is achieved by having 3 nights in Namche Bazaar at 3,440m/ 11,300 feet on the way up to the trail in the critical acclimatization period giving you the best chance of making a safe and enjoyable journey to Everest base camp. We include continuous training support and advice along with our booklet on the trek. Our goal is to help you come physically prepared and get you to face to face with Mount Everest.
The quickest route into the region is by air, leaving from Kathmandu on a thirty-five-minute flight into the village of Lukla. We use Summit Air and Sita Air for our flights in and out of Everest. There is an option to fly via helicopter into Lukla airport. Lukla sits at 2,853m/ 9,360 feet. The Everest Region, also known as the Solukhumbu Region is rich in culture in addition to mountaineering history. The Everest Base Camp Trek has some of the greatest mountain views on the planet. This trip to Everest is one of the highlights of any avid trekker’s career and is achievable for most fit walkers. The Everest base camp trek is rated one of the best treks in the world and a journey never to be forgotten.
Everest Base Camp Trek begins from Kathmandu to Lukla flight and via Namche Bazaar and goes into Khumbu region of 30,000 to 10,000per month during peak season. From Namche, the trek heads upward through colourful Sherpa villages along the Dudh Kosi River. Terraced rice fields and rhododendron forests eventually turn into hardened landscapes of rock and ice with well renowned skilled mountain guides. On the approach to Everest Base Camp is the final outpost of Gorak Shep that provides brilliant experienced lifestyles and cultures of Sherpa and Bates. The scramble to nearby Kala Patthar (5,545 m; 18,192 ft) offers a panorama of Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse that bests the views from the base camp itself. The main Everest Base Camp trail is an up-and-back route, meaning that you hike down the same trail you hiked.
As it is the most difficult to get to the top Himalayan mountain, Mount Everest is also the biggest dream of many climbers who want to finish their career with such a climbing experience that requires overcoming the obstacles that their bodies build. Climbing Everest is an enterprise that has to be prepared in detail but before climbers head for the Himalayas they have to devote a long time to build stamina and train to get used to harsh conditions such as low temperatures and low-oxygen environments at higher altitudes. The body starts to rebel against the lack of oxygen. Even the strongest climbers may experience impaired judgement, strokes, heart attacks or difficulty overcoming altitude sickness. To achieve the set goal climbers have to acclimate to the lower rate of oxygen in the air before they attempt to get to the peak. It can be done by going on an Everest Base Camp Trek each time higher. Doing this they allow their body to produce more hemoglobin that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body preventing it from dying. That is why every mount Everest expedition has to be properly prepared, and this can only be done right by such an experienced company as Asian Trekking whose employees are Sherpa guides coming from the community known to have spent almost their whole lives trekking in the Himalayas.
Accommodation at Lukla
You’ll start your EBC trekking journey through a short flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Most people prefer to take a trail straight away and head for the first stop Phakding or Namche.
But Lukla is still a beautiful village with plenty of good hotels. Although they are more expensive than the lodges. Overall, you’ll get much better facilities than tea houses on the trail.
Accommodation at Phakding
After Lukla, your next stop will be at Phakding. It is a beautiful small village that lies in the Dudh Koshi river valley just north of Lukla and south of Monjo.
Phakding has enough hotels on both riversides. The tea houses at Phakding offers you an affordable and accessible accommodation service. If you’re travelling with a bit more budget, then for a bit more comfort there are many options for luxury accommodations too.
Accommodation at Namche Bazaar
Namche Bazaar is the main point to the Everest Base Camp trek. It is also a great place for acclimatization. Many trekkers spend two or three days getting adjusted to the altitude.
This place is worth exploring as you’ll get the first view of Mt. Everest. Besides the natural beauty, this place has some of the best tea houses with great accommodation facilities.
This is the last place where you can get moderate accommodation facilities on the trail of EBC. You’ll find a wide variety of tea houses from luxury to basic with a wide price range.
Accommodation at Tengboche
Tengboche is another popular trekking route during the Everest Base Camp. Tengboche Monastery is the largest monastery situated at 3,867 m. above the sea level in the Khumbu region.
There are only 4-5 hotels in Tengboche on the trail. There will be more basic tea houses with basic facilities. Even though few tea houses provide a room with attached bathrooms and hot showers.
Many people want to spend a night at Tengboche to attend the morning prayers at the monastery. So, it might get crowded during the peak seasons.
Accommodation at Dingboche
Dingboche is a Sherpa village and it is much larger than Tengboche. This place has dozens of lodges, a handful of shops, a bakery, and even an internet cafe. Most of the trekkers spend two nights at Dingboche for acclimatization purposes. Yes of course, here all the trekkers are welcomed for every season.
Accommodation at Lobuche
Lobuche is the last overnight route to the Everest base camp. Basically, there are significant hotels in this village. But the accommodation here is quite basic. During peak trekking season, sometimes it can get hard to find lodges. So, in this type of situation, you might have to share the rooms with other trekkers of the same gender.
Accommodation at Gorak Shep
Since it is the best launching pad for an ascent of Kala Patthar, almost it is always a crowded place. In terms of accommodation, Gorakshep is pretty average. Trekking lodges are basic and even in the peak trekking season, you might have to sleep in a dining room or share a room with trekkers. Luckily, the dining room would be warmer for a little while, until the fire dies down.
The months of spring are considered the best months for Everest Base Camp Trek. In spring, the weather is pretty favourably stable and perfect for high altitude climbing.
During this period the entire Everest Region is blossom with seasonal flowers including Nepal’s national flower “ Rhododendron or laliguras”.And crossing the UNESCO World Heritage “ Sagarmatha National Park” in this season offers a view of endangered animals, birds, vegetation and more. The whole forest lights up with red rhododendron which is only possible in the spring season.
Spring season offers panoramic views of high peaks like Mt. Everest (8848 m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8201 m), Mt Makalu (8481 m), Mt. Ama Dablam (6812 m) and more.
Along with the spring season, the Autumn season is also considered the best for EBC Trek. As for the climate, it is neither warmer at day nor too freezing cold night as winter season.
It gets a little chillier in the fall than during the springtime. But that’s a fair trade for the mesmerizing views of the surrounding peaks that you get to see during this season. Also, you may get to experience light rainfall in the early days of autumn. But the views after those unannounced rainfalls are definitely threats to keep an eye on. You can find a lot of trekkers from around the world.
The above mentioned season is not necessarily a bad season but due to cold climatic conditions the temperature falls under -17⁰C (1.4⁰F). It is off-season and the sky seems to be very clear during winter. Also, winter is just the right time if you want to avoid hustling for space with other travellers.
MONSOON(June -August)
Generally, trekking during the monsoon season is a challenging task. In the rainy season, the trails get muddy and even slippery at times. The biggest challenge is going to be getting in or out of the mountains. There may not be flights in or out of Lukla for days on end. You could experience torrential rains lower on the trail, making it difficult and challenging to trek in. If possible, we suggest avoiding this season of the year. There is more risk of land-slide and an overall more challenging time to be in the Everest region.
The proverb” Health is wealth” truly holds for any Trekking/Hiking/Backpacking trip, especially in the Himalayan Region. Unlike mountaineering or rock climbing, mountaineering is considered a recreational activity.
Why do we need to be physically fit before trekking to Everest Base Camp?
The fittest you are, the chances are better than you extract the most from trekking.
As we gain a higher altitude during the trek, the air becomes thinner. To cope with the decreasing level of Oxygen Aerobic fitness is most.
Defying gravity and walking for a long duration on a steep slope with a rucksack/day-pack require a moderate level of Strength and Endurance training.
How do we achieve the desired fitness level needed for Everest Base Camp Trek?
This is purely quantitative and depends on the present physical condition of difficulty level and on the age to an extent.
More time we spend on physical training results in better. However, this is a basic guideline to improve spending at least 8 weeks.
The below training plan is a basic trekking fitness programme for beginners.
First Phase:
1) Walking: In the early days, it is a good starter. Walking 4/5 Km every day, if possible on slopes. Maintain speed with a Complete 5 Km walk within an hour. Should continue for 5 days a week or for 3 weeks.
2) Stretching: After walking regular stretching exercises like free hands including shoulder, neck, arms, waist and legs should be done. Always do the stretching after your body is warmed up. Cold stretching is ineffective and may develop injuries.10 to 15 minutes.is mandatory.
Once you complete the initial 3 weeks you can start building upon it. You can start either of the following:
2nd Phase:
Jogging can be done. Avoid jogging on the concrete or tarred surfaces and use a properly cushioned running shoe. Initially try to cover 3 km in 20 minutes and later 5 Km in 30 minutes. Follow stretching exercises as mentioned after the Jog/Run. Continue for 4/5 days a week for 5 weeks span.
Cycling is another effective way to increase your aerobic capabilities and to shed extra pounds quickly. If you can do outdoor cycling, nothing compares to it. Using a static cycle in-home/gym initially covers a distance of 5 Km in 20 min with easy to moderate resistance available with the equipment. Later using moderate to high resistance cover a distance of at least 8 Km in 30 minutes. Follow stretching exercises as mentioned after the cycling session. Continue for 4/5 days a week for 5 weeks span.
You can start this from the 2nd Phase of your Aerobic training. Always do the Strength training after the Aerobic Training and Stretching. It aims at building strength in your back, shoulders, arms, and abdominal muscles. Your leg muscles will get stronger through aerobic training. At home, you can do push-ups and sit-ups. Do three sets each with a repetition of 10-15.
Pull-up or Chin-ups is difficult to start with. If you are able to do then do 3 sets with 5-10 repetitions. Otherwise, take someone’s help and do assist pull-ups of 3 sets with 8 to 12 repetitions.
Free squats of 3 sets with 10-15 repetitions. Avoid this if you have/had knee injuries.
In a gym or home, you can do a few basic weight training like biceps-curl, triceps press and shoulder press. Consult a physical trainer before this workout. Do 3 sets of each with weights ( as suggested by the trainer ) for 8-10 repetitions.

In comparison to climbing Everest, The Everest Base Camp Trek is not a difficult trek to understand. Statistics show that about 90% of people make it to Everest base camp 5,364m/ 17,598 feet. It is even less up to Kala phattar 5,545m/ 18,192 feet which really is one of the main reasons for going to the Khumbu (Everest) region trek.
The majority of death reported on Everest each year are of climbers and sherpas who have to deal with much greater altitude, more adverse weather conditions and a greater risk of fatal falls than those of EBC trekkers. The Everest Base Camp Trek poses a variety of risks because of its location and altitude. The trek would be much harder if you tried to complete it in under 14 days.

GUIDE AND PORTERS
Trekking in Nepal can be done either by taking a guide or independently. If you’re not sure of the difference between porters, guides and those in between, trying to work out who you need on your team for a trek can be tricky. If you plan to trek without a guide, then it is usually best to stick to the more popular trekking trails, with plenty of teahouses and information signages. Guides are experienced trekkers and usually have good knowledge about trek trails. Porter is a personal decision that is also affected by the difficulty of the trek and the available budget.
Guide
Guide show you the way, to point out the famous mountains, landmarks and of course, dangers. They’re there to keep you safe, to fascinate you with tales of local lore and wild adventurers. They’re there to make sure you get good food and a clean bed in every village and to make sure you have the best possible experience on your trek.
A good guide can sometimes be hard to find but when you find one they’ll usually be happy to help you find porters (most of whom speak little or no English or other languages, so unless you know some Nepali, this can be very difficult), sort out park passes and permits, get you into the mountains and work as a general manager for your porters and other staff each day, where you may otherwise struggle. Some of these additional services may come with a small fee to cover your guide’s time and travel costs to the various booking offices and government departments. Your guide is essentially your mountain concierge and having one is likely to make your trip more pleasurable in every way.
It’s important also to treat your guide with respect and acknowledge the experience and wisdom they possess. The best guide-trekker relationships are always those that begin with mutual respect and blossom into friendship, trust and laughter. That is in fact the very foundation from which this company came into being.
For safety, fun, local knowledge and to support the country that inspires such awe for all of us, we’d always recommend trekking with a guide.
Porters
Porters are literally the backbone of the trekking world. Everything you see in the mountains that nature didn’t put there – a porter did. For trekkers, the trail can be hard, the air thin, and the gear really heavy. Porters, especially Sherpas and other mountain peoples, are accustomed to the altitude and thin air and spend their lives carrying loads in the mountains. For you, a heavy pack of gear might make a tough day unbearable. A good porter won’t have too much difficulty. If you ask them, porters will carry immense loads, much more than could be considered reasonable. It’s up to you to exercise discretion and care. We suggest not asking any single porter to carry more than 18kg. A safe weight they can manage with comfort. A porter will typically carry the gear of two people.
Porters aren’t there to guide you, most don’t even speak English, they’re just there to make sure everything you need is where you need it. They’re also not there to look out for your safety, in fact, porters are often so keen to get the job done that you need to look out for their safety and well-being. Especially on a DIY trek, as their employer, you have genuine responsibility for their health and safety.
