But, in some cases, it may work slower since many people share the same Wi-fi/internet connection in the lodge. And, one more thing to say is: you have to pay for the internet/Wi-Fi if you want to use the one offered by the lodge. You have to pay per device. Some places have different networks with recharge card systems. You can buy and install your device. 

Drinking Water Facility on Everest Short Trek 

You won’t have any drinking water facilities on your Everest Short Trek. You have to arrange it all on your own.

The majority of the people who make trekking or adventure trips in the mountains go with boiled water which is prepared by the local lodges/guesthouses on the trail which is the best way to keep you safe from contaminated water. However, some people carry water purifying ingredients and they apply it to the drinking water and they drink it. But, don’t try to drink the water from the Local River, stream and taps. The bottled water you can buy along the trek in the guesthouse.

A warm or hot shower makes you refresh and offers you new energy during your Everest Short Trek and it is very necessary. If you are travelling in the city area in Nepal, you will easily get the facility of a hot shower. But, if you are making a trip to the mountains, it may be difficult to get a hot shower during the trip.  However, the local lodge and guesthouse will provide a hot shower with a cooking gas geyser or offer you a bucket shower with warm water. Some guesthouses may charge an additional fee for hot showers. Please be prepared to pay a little extra for this.  

Communication on Everest Short Trek

You can enjoy excellent facilities of communication in Kathmandu and other major cities like Chitwan, Pokhara, Nagarkot and Lumbini. However, in the case of the trekking trip in the mountains of Everest region, you may not be able to have such kind of facility as in the cities. But, most of the local teahouses/lodges/ guesthouses/ hotels on the Everest Short Trekking trail will offer you the facility of  Wi-fi. Sometimes, you get it for free and sometimes, you may have to pay for the installation of Wi-fi during the trip in the mountains. 

You can get good access of phone call and Wi-fi on the Everest Short Trekking Trail. The local cities like Lukla, Phakding, Namche and Tengboche will offer you a good strength of Wi-fi facility and you can make a call whenever you want on the trail.

Everest Short Trek Ends 

The trek ends at Lukla officially with a flight to Kathmandu. Normally, at Lukla, you can celebrate the last day of the trek with your entire trekking crew by offering them tips and heavy dinner because they have worked hard for you and your safety all around the trip. The last day's walk is from Namche to Lukla and you wait for the next day’s flight to Kathmandu or Ramechhap and then 4 hours drive to Kathmandu. The flight to Ramechhap is for 20 minutes and the flight to Kathmandu from Lukla is for 40 minutes. Optionally, you fly back to Kathmandu directly by helicopter as well. For this, you have to make a prior request to us to arrange your helicopter flight. 

Important Note

The Lukla weather keeps changing in 15 minutes so it cannot be 100% sure that the flight to Ramechhap or Kathmandu from Lukla can take place at a given time. It may get delayed postponed or even cancelled for a few days. In this case, don’t panic, don’t get agitated and don’t trouble your trekking leader for the delay, cancellation or postponement of flight. Be calm and talk to your trekking lead to find out the way to escape this situation.

You have two options in this case: the helicopter flight to Kathmandu and walk down to Surke and Paiya for 5 hours and get a jeep ride to Salleri and then to Kathmandu. You’d better approach the helicopter first and then go with a walk down to Surke and Paiya. The walk down to Surke and Paiya is very challenging to follow the trail used by mules; the trail is muddy and slippery. Be careful to follow this trail to Paiya via Surke from Lukla.

If you are doing your Everest Base Camp Trek you have to have at least one/two spare days. This will help you make your Everest Trek less stressful and less panicky.

Travel Insurance is a must thing to fix before the departure for a particular trip. In case you face a sudden and unpleasant incident during the trip, you may need rescue evacuation and medical expenses. For that, you must have travel insurance. Actually, life is more important than your trip. As long as you have life, you have everything. So that, have authentic travel insurance that covers all rescue evacuation and medication expenses in case you have got some nasty accidents during the trip.

Best memory about Nepal

I recently had an opportunity to go on a short trek to Everest organized by Haven Holidays (P) Ltd. and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The trek started from Lukla and the trail was well-maintained, with stunning views of the Himalayas all around. The trek was challenging at times, but our guide was very experienced and made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout. The accommodations provided by Haven Holidays (P) Ltd. were top-notch, with clean and comfortable lodges along the way. The food was also delicious and provided a nice break from the physical demands of the trek. The highlight of the trek, of course, was reaching the Everest Base Camp. The feeling of accomplishment upon arriving was indescribable. The view of Everest from the Base Camp was absolutely breathtaking and something I will never forget. Overall, I highly recommend Haven Holidays (P) Ltd. for anyone looking for a well-organized and unforgettable trek to Everest. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, the accommodations were great, and the trek itself was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
