Trekking route to Everest Base Camp

The Everest Base Camp trek begins from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. The arrival day will serve as a rest day. The journey starts with a sightseeing tour of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Kathmandu Valley, which includes Pashupatinath Temple, Swayambhunath, and Boudhanath.

The next destination after Kathmandu is Lukla, which is accessible via a thrilling and adventurous flight over the green hills with picturesque mountain views. Lukla serves as the gateway to the Everest region. After arriving in Lukla, the main trek begins with a same-day trek to Phakding. The trek is about 9.5 km long and can take 5 to 6 hours, with almost constant ascent throughout the day, covering an elevation of 850m. The trek ends at Namche Bazaar.

The trek from Namche Bazaar to Tengboche takes 5 to 6 hours and covers a distance of about 9 km. The trek involves ascending initially and then descending down to the Tengboche village. The route offers a beautiful view of the Himalayas in the Everest region. The trek from Tengboche to Dingboche is quite challenging compared to other days due to higher elevation and a longer trekking distance of 10 km.

The next day’s trek starts from Dingboche, with the trail to Lobuche involving ascending and descending. Although the trek is shorter, it offers views of the Khumbu Glacier along the way. The following day, the trek continues to the Everest Base Camp. The trail is rough, stony, and snowy with ascents and descents throughout the day, ending at the Everest Base Camp.

We will then trek back to Pheriche. The descent is narrow and offers beautiful views of the snow-covered mountains. After reaching Pheriche, we will descend back to Namche Bazaar, and then back to Lukla, where we will fly back to Kathmandu. The trek concludes upon reaching Kathmandu.

Best time For Everest Base Camp Trek 

The optimal time to trek in Nepal depends on various factors such as temperature, climate, weather, etc. Although trekking destinations in Nepal can be accessed throughout the year, some areas may be affected. Therefore, the best time to trek in Nepal depends on personal preferences and the chosen destination.

For the Everest base camp trek, ideal time is during the spring season.  This season is lasts from early March to late May. The likelihood of heavy snowfall is minimal during this season, and rainfall is rare, resulting in clear and stunning views of the snow-capped mountains. The temperature ranges from 10°C to 20°C, making it ideal for trekking. Additionally, the forests of Rhododendron are in bloom, painting the green forests red and adding to the colorful environment. Moreover, snowmelt has begun due to the rising temperature.

Another excellent time to trek to Everest base camp is during the autumn season, with temperatures ranging from 12°C to 16°C, making it the best temperature range for trekking at higher altitudes. During this time, many festivals occur in Nepal, allowing trekkers to witness Nepalese traditions and culture. This season occurs after the monsoon and before winter, when the environment is green and breathtaking.

The summer season, on the other hand, sees fewer trekkers on the Everest base camp trail. Monsoon season begins in Nepal during the summer, resulting in nearly daily rainfall, which may disrupt the trek. The trail becomes more slippery due to rainfall, and river currents become faster with rising water levels. There may also be landslides in higher altitude regions of Nepal during this season, making the narrow and slippery trail unfavorable for trekking. Despite these challenges, nature lovers still enjoy the green, clean, and fresh environment. They can witness the traditional way of rice planting in Nepal and explore the beautiful natural springs and waterfalls in the area.

Finally, winter is a season of heavy snowfall in Nepal, particularly at higher altitudes. The temperature in Everest base camp during winter drops below zero, and heavy snowfall may disrupt the trek by blocking the trail. However, trekking in lower altitude regions is still possible during this time, and those who love the snow may appreciate this season.

A 4-6 hours walk in a day with small backpack having enough breaks in between is quite enough. Yes, it is better for yourself to prepare for the trek with simple preparation 1-2 months before the trek date. These could include, daily walking, go for a hike, a long walk once in a week, doing yoga related to breathing etc.

Acclimatization on Everest Base Camp Trek

When individuals immigrate to a foreign country with dissimilar climates or cultural norms, they may require an adjustment period to acclimate to their new environment and feel comfortable in their surroundings. Nepal, in particular, is a highly sought-after destination for trekking and touring. However, the country’s environment can be vastly different from other locations on Earth. Travellers hailing from lower altitudes may encounter obstacles when embarking on the Everest Base Camp Trek, which culminates at a towering altitude of 5643 meters at Kalapathar Viewpoint and 5365m at Everest base camp. Although the view from beyond the tree line is awe-inspiring, altitude sickness is a frequent ailment that can affect those who ascend too rapidly without sufficient acclimatization.

Everest Base camp trek starts from an elevation of 2800 meters at Lukla. The risk of altitude sickness mainly starts above 3000 meters. Our Everest Base Camp trek is done almost entirely above an altitude of 3000m from sea level, where the air density may be low, and some symptoms of altitude sickness can occur. Altitude sickness can affect anyone, even those with proper physical fitness, who are ascending without proper acclimatization. To ensure proper adjustment to the environment, we spend a full day and two nights in Namche Bazaar.

You can visit the beautiful and colorful Namche Bazaar, surrounded by snow-covered mountains. We will utilize the day to visit nearby Sherpa villages and learn about the culture and traditions of Sherpa people. If you are lucky, you may get the chance to see some cultural programs. You can even wear Sherpa local dress and take photos, although there may be some charges according to local customs.

Fortunately, our highly experienced team is well-equipped to assist trekkers in combating altitude sickness. We strongly advise our guests to consume an abundance of fluids, including water, hot soup, and tea, to help prevent altitude sickness. Furthermore, we employ a gradual approach to ascending to higher elevations, affording the trekker’s body sufficient time to adjust to the changing environment. To allow the body to acclimatize, it is essential to rest frequently and avoid overexertion during hikes or climbs. Even physically fit individuals may be susceptible to altitude sickness, which is why we ascend slowly, typically 300 to 1000 meters per day, to ensure proper rest.

At our company, we prioritize providing the best service while taking care of our guests. In the event that a trekker is unable to fend off altitude sickness, we will take them back. Our company’s utmost concern is the well-being of our guests, and we guarantee that our seasoned team will do everything possible to ensure a safe and unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

To guarantee the safety and hygiene of our guests, we strongly advise against drinking water directly from taps or streams. When your water bottle runs out, you can refill it at any of the available teahouses or lodges along the route.

However, please be aware that due to the high volume of visitors on the Everest Base Camp Trek, it may be necessary to purchase properly filtered and boiled water.

The insurance must cover essential medical check-ups, helicopter rescue in case of any medical emergencies or calamities during the trek, and other necessary expenses. We consider travel insurance as a compulsory requirement and recommend that trekkers present their insurance certificate to Graceful Adventure before starting the trek.

Please note that Graceful Adventure does not sell insurance policies, and it is the responsibility of the trekkers to obtain their insurance certificates from certified insurance companies. To assist trekkers from different regions, we recommend the following insurance companies:

Trekking permit of Everest Base Camp Trek 

In Nepal, trekking is a popular activity that is permitted throughout the country for individuals or groups. However, certain areas, such as conservation areas, wildlife reserves, and the Himalayas, are restricted, and trekkers must obtain permits issued by the Nepalese government and tourism board. It’s important to note that permits can only be obtained through government but not through any trekking agencies and not by individuals directly.

For those planning to trek to Everest Base Camp, obtaining a Trekkers Information Management System (TIMS) card is mandatory. The Nepal Tourism Board in Kathmandu issues TIMS cards, which typically take 20-30 minutes to obtain. The process involves filling out a form and paying a fee of 30 USD.

Additionally, the trek will be through two different rural municipality. They are Khumbu Rural municipality and pashanglamu Municipality. To trek in this area one should take Khumbu rural municipality entry permit and Khumbu Passang lamu municipality entry permit which may cost 3000 NRP and 2000NRP respectively. A photograph is required for the application.

During the trek we also have to enter to Sagarmatha National park. So, one should need the entry permit and local entry permit should also be taken from tourism board Nepal, which may cost 3000NRP according to the local rules.

To summarize, TIMS card, Sagarmatha National park entry permit, local area entry permit are necessary for trekking in Everest Base Camp. It’s crucial to keep in mind that the TIMS card can only be obtained from the Nepal Tourism Board in Kathmandu, while the permit can be obtained from Nepal Tourism Board. By obtaining these permits, trekkers can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience while also supporting the conservation efforts in the region.

Even in tea houses or lodges where you choose to stay, there may be additional charges for utilizing electricity or internet services due to the busy route or rural location. Please note that during the trek, access to electricity or internet will not be available. Therefore, it is advised to charge your electronic devices in the tea houses or lodges where you will be lodging.

ATM and Currency Exchange Service on Everest Base Camp Trek

Nepal’s bustling urban hubs, namely Kathmandu and Pokhara, offer a plethora of convenient ATM and money exchange services that facilitate the acquisition of Nepalese currency for travelers. However, such amenities may not be readily available in rural areas, where only Nepalese currency is accepted, and modern banking infrastructure may be scarce.

To circumvent any potential inconveniences, it is strongly advised that travellers plan in advance and exchange foreign currency for Nepalese currency before embarking on a trek. This will ensure that adequate local currency is readily available to purchase essentials such as food, water, and other necessary supplies during the trek. Seeking guidance from local currency exchange services in Kathmandu can also help expedite the process and minimize any undue stress.

While tipping is a common practice in Nepal, it is not obligatory, and trekkers should not feel pressured to tip if they are not satisfied with the services received.
