Luggage and the Storage 
If you are hiring the porter for your trip in the mountain, you can pack no more than 9 kg. in the duffel bag or in your own backpack. We provide you a very reliable duffel bag to put your stuffs to be carried in the trip. It will be very safe to be carried by porter .Because it is the international labor rule that a porter can only maximum 18 kgs in the mountain. Please, don’t pack unnecessary stuffs in the duffel bag. Actually, two people can share one duffel bag and one porter by putting 9k stuff by each individual.

If you think you don’t need the stuffs you have with you in the mountain, you can store at the hotel in Kathmandu or even in Pokhara if you are passing through it. The best way to keep your unnecessary stuffs is in Kathmandu hotel. They will keep your unnecessary luggage/stuffs very safely till your return back. Ask you trip leader or hotel receptionist to do it for you before you depart for the trip. Don’t forget to take the luggage tag while storing the unnecessary luggage. 

Meals
Meals will be provided according to the itinerary and cost includes and cost excludes. If you are given the itinerary or cost include like including BB only, you will be provided breakfast only and if the if you have booked the trip package like including full-board meal, you will get all the meals including breakfast, dinner and lunch. Apart from main meals, if you have tea, coffee, cold drinks and other alcoholic drinks, you have to pay them personally. 

During the trip, you will be given enough time to have the meal. You can enjoy the meal you like from the menu. Vegan, Vegetarian?? If you are vegetarian, you will still find the choice in the menu and our guide will take a good care of you thorough the trip. 
You will have your meal at the lodge/local guesthouse, hotel or resort during the trip. You are supposed to have the meal where you stay overnight in the mountain during the trekking trip. 

Sometimes, you may not get the item you want in the mountain during the trekking trip/touring trip, at the time; you have to consider it very calmly. 

You will enjoy freshly cooked meals in the mountain during the trip days with local ingredient 

Trek Starts 
The trek commences from Kathmandu with a drive to Manthali during Spring and then fly to Lukla and Autumn( Mar-May and Sep-Nov) and in other off seasons like Winter and Rainy ( Dec-Feb and Jun-Aug) Kathmandu to Lukla. We drive to Ramechhap, Manthali for 6 hours from Kathmandu and take a short 20 minutes flight and if we take direct flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, you will fly for 35 minutes with astonishing mountain views. 

Actually, we need to leave Kathmandu in the midnight like 12-1 am in the midnight for Rahechhap drive and then fly to Lukla. Hope you will consider this thing in your mind beforehand the trip begins. 

As you land at Lukla airport either from Ramechhap/ Manthali or Kathmandu, you will meet your porters, introduce with them briefly and begin the formal walk towards Phakding, the very first town you are going to stay overnight in your trip. It takes around 2-3 hours to get Phakding from Lukla. 

Electricity and Water
You will get good and undisturbed facility of electricity during the trip in Nepal. Even though you go to the mountain for trekking and other adventure activities, you can get the facility of electricity to change your phones and backups for free. However, in some cases you may have to face the problem of load-shedding and  the local lodges and guesthouses may charge you some amount like Rs. 100-200 to charge your batteries, backups and phones in remote area trekking like upper Mustang Trekking, Upper Dolpo Trekking, Annapurna Circuit Trekking and Manaslu Circuit Trekking. Otherwise, in Annapurna region trekking and Everest Region trekking, you don’t need to pay for battery, phone and backups charging on the trail. But, there won’t be electricity heating system in the mountain while doing trekking or other adventure activities.  Unlike that, you can enjoy all kind of electricity heating system in the city tours like Kathmandu City Tour, Pokhara, Chitwan and Lumbini Tour, Nagarkot and Namobouddha Tour. 

Drinking water must be pure, safe and contamination free. You can get bottled or purified drinking water during the trip even in the mountain which is very safe for you to drink. Majority of the people who make a trekking or adventure trips in the mountain 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 Local River, stream and taps. The bottled water costs between Rs.100-300 which is 1 liter in the mountain. 

Communication 
You can enjoy excellent facility of communication in Kathmandu and in other major cities like Chitwan, Pokhara, Nagarkot and Lumbini. However, in case of trekking trip in mountain, you may not be able to have such kind of facility like in the cities. But, most of the local teahouses/lodges/ guesthouses/ hotels on the trail will offer you the facility of  Wi-fi. Sometimes, you get it for free and sometimes, you may have to pay like Rs.100-200 per device for the installation of Wi-fi during the trip in the mountain.

In the remote area trekking like Manaslu Circuit Trek, Annapurna Circuit Trek, Kanchenjungha Circuit Trek and Upper Mustang Trek, they charge certain amount like Rs.200-400 per device for the installation of Wi-fi at the local lodges. Otherwise, in Annapurna Base Camp Trek and Everest Base Camp Trek, they don’t charge you the money for the facility of Wi-fi, they will offer you for free.

The best way to access good communication over your smart phone is getting local Nepali SIM Card like NT and NCELL. You get these local Nepali SIM Cards easily in Kathmandu and even in International Airport, Tribhuvan International Airport. For this, you have to present the copy of your passport and a passport sized- photograph. You can buy datapack via this local SIM Card and you make a very good communication wherever you go, even from the corner of the mountain.  You can make a call, you access internet over it and even make a video call instantly from the Everest Base Camp (5364m) and even from Larkya La Pass (5106m) in Manaslu Circuit Trek.

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 like offering them tips and heavy dinner because they have worked hard for you and your safety all round the trip. The last day walk is from Namche to Lukla and you wait for the next day’s flight to Kathmandu or Ramechhap and then 6 hours drive to Kathmandu. The flight to Ramechhap is for 20 minutes and the flight to Kahtmandu 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% that the flight to Ramechhap or Kathmandu from Lukla can take place on given time. It may get delayed or postponed or even cancelled for 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 got two options for you in this case: the one is helicopter flight to Kathmandu and walk down to Surke and Paiya for 5 hours and get jeep ride to Salleri and then to Kathmandu. You’d better make an approach to helicopter first and then go with walk down to Surke and Paiya. Actually, 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 day. This will help you make your Everest Trek less stressful and less panicked

Trek Extra Personal Expenses 
How prodigal you are? Your trek extra personal expenses depend on it. If you love doing extra expenses on the trip, you will go to topics like alcoholic drinks, extra tea or coffee apart from the meal, tipping, some minor donations, and extra snacks on the trail, some urgent personal stuff like clothing or any other equipment you immediately require on the trip in case it gets damaged or stop functioning. And, at the end of the trek, you have to give some tips to your trekking crew, at least some or little. For this, you have to allocate some dollars or Nepali currency. 

Typical Day
 The typical trip day begins with a good breakfast. You will have breakfast at around 7-8 am and begin the day after it. Then, you will have to work/walk for 3-4 hours after breakfast and you will stop for lunch. The lunchtime will be around an hour. You will order your lunch item and the restaurant/hotel/teahouse will cook for you. Sometimes, you may have to wait for sometime if the restaurant or hotel is crowded. You can find the item you like to have in the menu prepared by the local lodge/restaurant / hotel. If you are vegetarian, no worries, you can still find the ways.

After lunch, you will resume your work/trek/trip again and end it in the after like around 3-4 pm. After that, you will check in hotel/guesthouse/teahouse and get refreshed. Take rest, change clothing and go for dinner at around 6-7 pm. Your leader will help you to order the meals you like. At the dinner, your leader will share the important information for the next day’s trip and you can raise the question regarding it.

EBC Trek is moderately difficult in the sense that initially, it seems to be moderate but while approaching to Everest Base Camp, it seems it’s impossible because of high altitude and thin layer of oxygen at Everest Base Camp(5364m) and Kalapatthar(5545m). Therefore, one requires preparing very well with a boosted stamina for walking at least 7 hours above 4000m. You also have to have very reliable trekking equipment and professional trekking crew for your EBC trek.

Until Namche Bazaar (3400m) and Tengboche( 3860m), the EBC Trek seems easy or moderate for the trekkers. As you ascend from Tengboche to Dingboche, you feel a bit harder and you will feel really tough while ascending from Lobuche to Gorekhshep, Everest Base Camp and Kalapattahr.  Actally, even some trekkers cannot do Everest Base Camp Trek or EBC Trek and they require rescue due to high altitude sickness. So, you need to prepare very well with all required things to do prior to the trekking for your EBC Trek. 

The perfect Everest Base Camp is 14 days Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary. The 14 days Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary is perfect for the trekkers who are doing their Everest Base Camp Trek as it consists of all required acclimatization days: one day at Namche Bazaar and the other at Dingboche. And most importantly, it requires perfect pacing while ascending above 5000m and 14 days Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary is set with 6-7 hour working each day including the time of breakfast, rest and lunch so that you can feel comfortable in the mountain and there is less chance of getting high altitude sickness. If the itinerary is set like this, definitely, you will celebrate your Everest Base Camp Trek tremendously.

Majority of the people follow 14 days Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary since it is perfect to the people of all levels and age group. Also, some of the people who are restricted by time, follow 12 days Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary as an alternative. Similarly, there is a trend of flying out from Kalapatthar or Everest Base Camp These days among the trekkers and they follow 10 days Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary with helicopter fly out from Kalapatthar to Lukla or directly to Kathmandu.

So, the trekkers who don’t want to fly out from Kalapatthar while returning back from Everest Base Camp, they follow 10 days Everest Base Camp Trek with helicopter fly out and those who want to trek back along the same trail back to Namche and Lukla from Everest Base Camp without flying by helicopter, they follow 14 days Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary. And it depends on you which itinerary you want to follow according to your time frame, budgeting and wish. Best of all, you can go with 14 days Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary.

Trek to Everest Base Camo is graded as moderately hard. It is considered so because the ebc trek begins with moderate hike from Lukla to Namche and then the trek tends to become difficult due to high altitude above 4000m to Lobuche( 4900m) to Gorekhshep ( 5180m) and then to Everest Base Camp (5364m) and finally to Kalapatthar ( 5545m).

Beginning with moderate hike, the trekkers end it with a very challenging ascend to Everest Basecamp and Kalapatthar through Lobuche and Gorekhshep. So, the trekkers who are preparing or planning to do their Everest Base Camp trek needs to prepare as they are conquering over a challenging trekking trip in Nepal. Therefore, a sound level of fitness and preparation are required beforehand the trek with all required trekkingequipment checklist.  

The hike to Everest Base Camp ranges between 10 -15 days. If you choose to go with 12/13/14/15 days Everest BaseCamp Trek, then, it will be with normal and regular flight from Ramechhap or Kathmandu to Lukla and if you go with 10/11 days Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary, you will go with helicopter fly out from Kalapatthar or Lubuche.

Actually, you need to allocate some spare days like 2 spare days for your Everest Base Camp Trek as the weather condition in Everest region is always unstable which will interrupt the regular helicopter and plane flights and you may miss your important things like international flights too. So, it is very mandatory to have at least 2 spare days if you are doing Everest Base Camp Hike. Hike to Everest Base Camp will be beautiful  and less stressful if you have got 15-16 days with you to allocate to it.

If you don’t have all 15/16 days to spare for your Ebc trek, then, you can go with either jeep drive to Paiya or helicopter fly back from Lobuche or Kalapatthar back to Lukla or directly Kathmandu. 

No, Everest Base Camp Trek is not for the beginners. Beginners should not dare to venture onto the Everest Base Camp Trekking Trail in Nepal since the trek is graded as moderately challenging. However, even the beginners can go up to Namche Bazar and Everest View Hotel and can see Mt. Everest. But. The beginners shouldn’t try to go Everest Base Camp (5364m) which is very challenging due to high altitude above 5000m above the sea level. The trek grows more difficult after move your footsteps from Tengboche and Dingbcohe till you get to Lobuche(4900m) and Everest Base Camp.

Everest, Nupse, Loatse, Amadablam and Thamaserkhu from Everest View Hotel and the Namche Viewpoint located next to Army camp just above Namche Bazaar.
