Trip Organization

Everest Base camp Trek Details 

Your guide, from your arrival in Kathmandu until your departure, is responsible for the success of your trip and oversees your team. Do not hesitate to ask him questions, respect his position as the team leader, and above all follow his advice! Often your guide is the only English-speaking member of the team. In the mountains and, especially when during high-altitude travels, your guide is responsible for the safety of the group. The instructions he gives and the remarks he makes to all participants must be carefully followed. The interest and safety of the trekking group must be preserved, even when it may be to the detriment of an individual member of the group.

Preparation for the Everest Base Camp Trek
Preparing for the trek requires several months of preparation with 4 to 6-hour walks every weekend for stamina and participating in a sport that requires short periods of high exertion.

Medical check-up before going to Everest Base camp trek
Being in good health is essential to fully enjoy your Alpinist Club trip. If your last medical visit was more than four years ago, please get another general physical exam and tell your doctor the nature of your trip (climate, altitude, difficulty, etc.). The altitude also has the effect of reviving dental problems or other chronic pain, so getting a dental checkup is also prudent. If you are undertaking a high-altitude expedition, we advise you to consult a mountain medicine specialist.

Acute Mountain Sickness in Everest
This trip takes place at high altitudes, so some people may experience altitude-related discomforts like headaches, loss of appetite, and swelling of limbs. Most of these symptoms usually go away within a few days, but sometimes they can develop into a serious illness: pulmonary or cerebral edema. There are no preventive drugs for AMS. Diamox diuretic is often effective for symptomatic relief, but you should first check with your doctor to verify that it is not contraindicated for you. Think about it before you go.

Group size for the  Everest Base Camp Trek
The group is composed of 1 to 10 participants maximum. The number of participants is voluntarily limited to allow a better immersion, to not embarrass our hosts, to develop spaces of freedom and to allow a great flexibility of operation. However, the maximum number can be exceeded in the case where the last person who registers wishes to travel with another or several other people. The services will not be modified and the conditions of the trip will be identical as a result.

Personal Equipment  for Trekking 
Personal equipment is not provided, but a complete list will be shared later. We will refine the list with you during the preparation days and up until departure based on your questions.
High-altitude sleeping bags and quality down jackets are costly items you may not use often. We offer these specific items for rent during the trekking. You must return the equipment clean and in good condition, with a deposit required.

One of the best times of year to trek to Everest Base Camp is thought to be in the spring. With clear skies and steady temperatures, the weather is frequently nice. The scenery is brightened by the rhododendron forests along the trail, which are in full bloom. At lower elevations, average daily temperatures range from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), and they gradually drop as you go higher.

Autumn (Sep-Nov)
Another wonderful season to visit Everest Base Camp is the fall. The weather is usually stable, with clear skies and excellent views of the stunning mountains. The typical daytime temperature at lower elevations is between 10°C and 20°C (50°F and 68°F). Due to the celebration of important Nepalese holidays like Dashain and Tihar, autumn also brings a joyful air to the area.
A lively atmosphere is created on the route and in the tea houses during the spring and fall seasons, when many hikers visit. It's advisable to plan your travel and lodging well in advance during these busy times.

Even though these are the busiest times of year, it's important to keep in mind that the Himalayan weather can change suddenly. 

Please be aware that the winter months of December through February can be bitterly cold, with severe weather and few tea establishments. Heavy rains during the monsoon season (June to August) make the trail slick, and clouds frequently block out the breathtaking views.It is advised that you schedule your trip during the more favorable months for the finest hiking experience.

Difficulty Level and Fitness Requirement

The 14-day Everest Base Camp trek is a strenuous undertaking requiring a high level of stamina and physical fitness. Hiking steep slopes, traversing high heights, and traveling across rough terrain for extended periods of time are necessary. Everest Base Camp, at 5,364 meters (17,598 feet), is the highest point of the ascent, which involves a considerable height gain.

Before starting this adventure, it is advised that participants be in good health and have previous trekking experience. Your preparation and level of fitness can be greatly increased by engaging in regular physical exercise in the months leading up to the walk, such as cycling, jogging, or hiking. 

Acclimating to the rising altitude during the journey is also essential. This calls for moving slowly and steadily so that your body has time to acclimate to the thinner air. A safe and effective voyage depends on getting enough sleep, being hydrated, and paying attention to your body.

How to prepare for a trip to Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal?
Because of the demanding nature of the trek and the high-altitude climate, the 14-day Everest Base Camp Trek requires extensive preparation and physical training. Being well-prepared is crucial because the walk involves rough terrain, high ascents, and variable weather.

Begin your preparation by establishing a solid foundation of fitness through an extensive training regimen that includes strength training, endurance hiking, and cardiovascular activities. Include steep climbs and hilly terrain in your workouts to replicate the hiking conditions.
In order to successfully navigate high elevations, acclimatization is essential. Practice walks or shorter altitude excursions can help your body acclimate to the thin air and lower your risk of altitude sickness by exposing you to higher elevations gradually.

Make sure you have the appropriate clothing and equipment, such as sturdy hiking boots, layers of clothes, and a good sleeping bag. To properly manage your daily progress and set reasonable expectations, familiarize yourself with the trek's route and terrain.
As crucial as physical preparedness is mental readiness. To manage the emotional and physical obstacles you'll encounter, be aware of the demands of the walk and cultivate an optimistic outlook.

Lastly, verify that you have all the required permits and logistical plans in place. Speaking with local guides or trekking specialists can help you better prepare for this famous Himalayan experience and provide insightful advice.

  • Spring (March to May): Clear skies, blooming rhododendrons, and warm days.

Wi-Fi is available at most teahouses for a fee but may be slow or unreliable. Charging facilities are also provided at some lodges for an additional charge, so carrying a portable power bank is recommended.

You’ll trek 5-8 hours daily, with a combination of steep ascents, descents, and flat paths. Rest days for acclimatization help balance the physical strain.

  • Start a workout routine 2-3 months in advance.
  • Focus on cardio exercises like jogging and cycling.
