Essential Info

Best Season to Trek to EBC

The two best seasons for hiking through the trail to Everest Base Camp are autumn (September to November) and spring (March to June). 

  1. Autumn (September–November): Autumn offers you stunning conditions, perfect weather, and a stable temperature, which makes the trek more memorable. This season is also popular among other trekkers, which can make the trails more busy, and you might have a hard time getting flight tickets. 
  2. Spring (March–June): Spring is undoubtedly one of the best seasons to trek. The temperature is warm and perfect, the wildflowers are blooming, and the skies are clear. Compared to autumn, the crowds are less, but occasional snow showers can occur at high elevations. Hence, you need to be prepared for these conditions if you plan to hike in the spring.

 

Arrivals and visas

On your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, our team will welcome you with open arms. The staff at the airport will help you get the visa in no time. To ensure a smooth arrival, we recommend bringing cash for the visa fee (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days, and USD 125 for 90 days), as digital options might not be readily available. 

After obtaining your visa, we’ll drive you to your cosy 3-star hotel, where you can rest yourself and prepare yourself for the journey. 

 

A typical day at Everest Base Camp 

A typical day on the trek starts with an early wake-up call and a warm, delicious breakfast. You will get to witness the sunrise over the Himalayas. After breakfast, the hike starts and ends after a walk of 5 to 7 hours over the day. As we cover a very high altitude, we will rest some days to adjust to the altitude. It will allow you to explore the villages and soak in the unique culture. In the evening, we will have a delicious dinner in the communal dining hall, where we will share stories with fellow trekkers and gaze upon the mesmerising starry night. 

 

Altitude of the Everest Base Camp Trek

On reaching the goal of the trek, Everest Base Camp, we’ll be standing at a staggering altitude of 5364 meters. The air starts to get thinner drastically as we cross the mark of 3000 metres in altitude. You have to give your body a chance to adjust to the tinier air, which is why we take rest days in between the treks. 

We need to listen to our bodies and know our limits, as it is always smart to take precautions. We suggest our clients take as much rest as they can during their trek and make sure they are hydrated.

What kind of food and accomodations will I get?

Red Rose will be responsible for your accommodations and food throughout the trek. While the itinerary that we have provided gives a general overview of the trek, it is always better to understand the additional details. Throughout the trek, we will provide you with two meals and a lunch at the guesthouses, which generally serve you with dal bhat, bread, eggs, noodles, and seasonal vegetables. We highly recommend you eat vegetables, as they help you adjust to altitude. Also, we want you to know that additional purchases like hot drinks and meals come under your own expenses.

Is there good wifi connection in the Himalayas?

The Everest Base Camp provides you with an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature with its breathtaking scenes and rich culture. But you need to be prepared for the simple way of life at the higher altitudes, as the accommodations there may only provide you with basic facilities. 

 

While lower regions like Lukla and Namche Bazaar offer you more than basic facilities like electricity, ATMs, and Wi-Fi, as you go above, that might not be the case. That is why we suggest you pack a power bank and embrace a simpler way of life. Take it as an opportunity to disconnect and appreciate the beauty of the Himalayas without social media distractions. That is how you create everlasting memories.
