1. Everest Base Camp Trek
Everest Base Camp is in the mouth of everyone and Everest Base Camp Trek is
one of the popular treks in the world. This trek will surely give an awesome
experience for any trekker. Trekking to Everest Base Camp is one of the most
popular activities among people who visits Nepal for a holiday. A breath-taking
flight to Lukla airport, stunning Himalayan scenery, world's biggest desert-like
glaciers, high thrilling trekking passes and warm, hospitable Sherpa culture
together with hundreds of years old monasteries are main attractions of Everest
Base Camp Trekking.
Everest Base Camp Trek is famous for high standard adventures and friendly
Sherpa people of Khumbu region. Trekking to the foot of the world's highest peak,
may not be simple but with determination and courage, it's not impossible to
achieve it. Everest Base Camp Trekking is the ultimate trek in many ways. The
trek starts after an adventurous and thrilling flight to Lukla. The flight itself
gives impressive impression of great mountain views (and heart-stopping
approach and landing !) and the trek will take you through wide areas of
stunning landscapes, ethnic settlements, years old Buddhist monasteries at
Monjo, Namche, Tengpoche and Panboche, and ultimately to the midst of
towering peaks including but not limited to Ama Dablam, Kang Tega, Nuptse,
Thamserku, Kusum Kangaro, Pumori, Lhotse, Lobuche, Isalnd Peak, Makalu and
breathtaking Everest itself.
Everest Base Camp Trek is a one of the rout of Everest trekking which is
moderately strenuous trip. EBC Trek is suitable for trekkers with at least basic
trekking experience in the past. One without previous trekking experiences can
also join our treks to Everest Base Camp however people with previous trekking
experiences will not need to endure difficulties that a novice may require to
endure. The trek starts with small and gentle downhill walk from Lukla to
Phakding. Continuing further towards north, there are several gentle and steep
ascents. The trail will seem to be strenuous as we climb further as an effect of
high altitude. We may need to acclimatize properly to get rid of altitude sickness
during the trek. Ultimately we'll reach 5550 meters - high enough! Everest Base
Camp Trekking is famous for its incomparable snowy Himalayas and the loyalty
and friendliness of its inhabitants (the smiling Sherpa people).

drinks before starting steep climbing to Dughla Pass. From here the condition of the
trail is not satisfactory. The trail consists of numerous huge rocks and yaks will be
passing nearby. In one hand the trail is steep and in another hand we will be walking
in high altitude. Getting tiredness is normal for almost everyone. Ascending further
we will reach a places with many memorials made in the memory of climbers who
passed away in this region. We ascend a little more from here we will reach the trail
coming from Gokyo Lakes and Cho La Pass. The trail will become slightly easier
from here and mostly we will be walking on the flat. Here we come at Lobuche.
Lobuche has few houses and all of them are only for commercial purposes i.e. guest
houses, lodges, small tea shops etc. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
DAY 09: Trek to Gorakshep (5,140M / 2 - 3 Hours), hike to EBC (5,364M / 2.5
Hours) and return Gorakshep (2.5 Hours)

We will be walking in between 4,900 meters to 5,300 meters on this day. The trail is
quite wide and easy to walk. It is short hike to reach Gorakshep.
Once we reach Gorakshep we will keep our belongings in the lodge before we have
our lunch. Once we get our lunch we will start our hiking to Everest Base Camp
before it's too late. The hike is about 5/6 hours in total. It is one of the longest, hardest

5. and important days in our adventure. The route from Gorakshep to Everest Base
Camp includes numerous short ups and downs. The trail condition is not satisfactory
everywhere and includes many small rocks along the route. Be careful while walking

DAY 10: Hike to Kalapatthar (5,545M / 3 Hours), trek down to Pangboche
(3,930M / 5 Hours)
Honestly, the hike to Kalapatthar is not easy. It is early morning cold walking in the
dark but trust us it's enjoyable and it will be one of the memorable time of your life.
Don't get slipped in the icy trail. Depending on the sunrise time your guide will give
you time to start hiking to reach this beautiful hill top. Wake up on time and prepare
cloths that won't let you be cold. The hike from Gorakshep to Kalapatthar is about an
hour steep climbing. Depending on your walking speed it may take a little more or
less.
Kalapatthar is the same place where world's highest cabinet meeting was held by
Nepal Government to aware world global warming and about the speedily melting
Himalayas. Kalapatthar gives authentic and magnificent views of Himalayas just in
front of you. It's wonderful view point that only few people have seen it.
Congratulations to witness this heavenly place with Himalayan Leisure, Inc. Take
some shots of you and peaks, enjoy your photography in this place before we will
again return back to our lodge to start walking down to Pangboche. Once we return
back to our lodge in Gorakshep we will have our breakfast and get ready to descend
down. The trail is about the same that we used to ascend up. The only difference is
that in stead of going to Dingboche we will descend down to Pheriche and reach
Pangboche directly. It will make the trek little shorter and we will also have chance to
visit another visit. Pangboche is the place where many mountaineers were born.
Pangboche is also the last village for climbers heading to Mt. Amadablam. (Breakfast,
Lunch, Dinner)

Experience Required
Everest Base Camp Trekking is considered as one of the difficult treks of it's category.
The trek is done by hundreds of trekkers everyday during main season (March, April,
October, November). Many of them get succeed to complete the trek with little or no
pain though many of them fail as well. Everest Base Camp Trek is a difficult trek; we
must say. Although the trail itself is not difficult the altitude that will take us as high
as 5,545 meters will make you hard to breath. Altitude is the main reason of the trek
being difficult. For a trekker who is experienced in high altitude previously will find
the trek easy to moderate level. If you are new in trekking then we recommend you to
have some training at home. You can practice walking around the hills that might be
available around your place or just walk regularly at home before heading to Nepal.
Training will make your trek a lot easier comparing to the ones coming without any
trainings. The route is mostly gentle to steep climbing (in some places only) while
heading towards Gorakshep and Everest Base Camp while the trail is mostly downhill
while returning back to Lukla. Everest Base Camp Trek is amazing trekking with no
doubt. For people with knee problems we recommend you to bring proper knee
support else you may suffer a lot. Nothing can guarantee your success in this extreme
altitude but slow and steady walk does. You can prepare with regular cardiovascular
training at home i.e. cycling, swimming, hill climbing and lots of walking. You can
prepare your mind for 5 - 6 hours walk everyday during the trek. Seek out hills or find
a tall building and repeatedly walk up and down the stairs. It may help you a lot
during the trek in the Himalayas.
Meals on Trek
Basic meals are available in tea houses during the whole route. These meals are
prepared once it's ordered by the guests. There are rare cases of meals not being fresh
in the mountains. Most places on Everest Base Camp Trekking offers wider range of
meal options with better quality comparing to Annapurna and Langtang areas.
Various meals including noodles, soups, handmade breads, rice items, curries,
spaghetti, pizza, egg items, potatoes are served on the trek. Meats are available in
most places however we recommend you not to take meat items as they are not fresh
and sometimes can be unhealthy to your body. Please do not expect western meals
prepared in the remote villages similar to the one you may eat in your home or
restaurants in cities. They are basic meals served only to countdown your hunger. We
will provide 3 meals; i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner with hot drinks on the trek.
Generally, dinner and breakfast is served in a lodge and lunch is served during the
walk / daytime. You will have full options or freedom to select your preferred items
from a small menu provided by the lodge. Meals in the mountain tastes awesome
comparing to cities as most raw materials are locally prepared. Everest Base Camp
Trek has wider meal options for trekkers comparing to other minor trekking routes.

10. We provide breakfasts even in Kathmandu at your hotel. You will have a menu to
select your meals or foods will be served in buffet system. The hotel itself will select
the appropriate method depending on the volume of customers.
Accommodation
Accommodation in Kathmandu will be standard hotel. We will accommodate you in 3
star category hotel. You will be accommodated in an air conditioned private room.
We provide one double room for two customers ( unless you are single customer ).
These rooms will have either master bed or two single beds. If you have special
preference on bed selection then please inform us in advance, we will try to book the
room appropriate for your stay.
We provide twin sharing rooms during Everest base camp trekking again unless you
are single. Lodges in Everest region are high in standard comparing the ones in
Annapurna and Langtang areas. You are likely to have no complains regarding your
accommodation in this area but you won't believe that how these standard lodges are
made in these remote places of Khumbu. Everest Base Camp Trekking has numerous
lodges for your meals and accommodation purposes. These lodges provide you rooms
with blankets included in main places however we recommend you to carry own
sleeping bag as well. We will be accommodating you in the lodges on the whole trek,
there won't be any camping involved. These lodges have small rooms that provide
basic lodging experience during your trek. Although the lodges are standard please do
not expect high standard rooms specially in the mountains. If you are seeking luxury
type of accommodation then please consider our Everest Luxury Trekking which
involves luxury accommodation during the whole trek. Almost every rooms during
the trek consists of two single beds that will accommodate two person. If you are a
single trekker then sometimes you may need to share your room with someone else in
some cases as places like Lobuche and Gorakshep have limited number of lodges
( same $ex ). Even if you are traveling in a group and prefer single room then upon
paying single supplement charges we will try our best to provide you single rooms. If
we are unable to provide single rooms then we will refund your single supplement
charges. Some places in Everest Base Camp Trek only have basic small lodges that
may not be comfortable sometime. We hope you will cooperate with us in these cases.
Best Season
Everest Base Camp Trek is a high altitude trekking route in Khumbu region. This
trekking can be done throughout the year however February to May and October to
December are better months comparing to other months i.e. June, July, January etc.
During best months the sky is generally crystal clear, the views are breathtaking and
the weather is lovely as well. June to September is monsoon season although trekking
is still doable in Khumbu area. Trekkers do Everest Base Camp Trekking throughout
the year. Monsoon is not good season; both for views and trails though few trekkers
trek in this area everyday. During this period it rains frequently in the late afternoon,
night and early morning that leaves the trail wet and slippery as well. The sky is

11. cloudy. The views are not clear during monsoon season where mid winter season i.e.
late December and January is very cold in high areas. Monsoon season may not show
you any mountain views or will see only for a short time. March to April is the
months of blossoming season of rhododendron and many other flowers which looks
very beautiful lush of green forests. From October to December you will see more
green forests in the region. Everest Base Camp Trekking is best during spring and
autumn season. As this is the ultimate adventure of your life we recommend you to
plan the trek properly and during best months though Himalayan Leisure, Inc. will be
able to arrange your trip throughout the year.
Highlights of the Trip
Everest Base Camp Trek has uncountable number of highlights. It's not easy to write
them all in a small paragraph, the best way is to experience it yourself. However we
have included some of the major highlights of the trek. The main highlight is the
flight to Lukla airport. This flight is thrilling and adventurous as well; Lukla airport is
considered as one of the 10 most dangerous airports in the world. We will be
exploring several Buddhist monasteries during the trek, places like Namche Bazaar,
Tengboche, Pangboche etc. has beautiful monasteries. We may experience Sherpa
culture and lifestyles by visiting these monasteries. Tengboche monastery also have
daily prayer in the late afternoon. Hundreds of Himalayan peaks are another major
attraction of the trek. We will be seeing uncountable number of Himalayan peaks such
as Thamserku, Kangtega, Kusum Kangaro, Lobuche, Makalu, Island Peak, Cholatse,
Tabuche, Pumori, Nuptse, Lhotse etc. including the majestic MT. Everest. Everest is
the highest point of the earth, that is undoubtedly major highlight of the trek. Khumbu
glacier is considered as one of the longest glaciers in the world. During climbing
season, you may experience a market in Everest Base Camp as well. Everest region is
impressive and Everest Base Camp Trekking is part of it. From March to April you
may also see forests blossoming with Rhododendron flowers. Everest Base Camp
Trekking is undoubtedly an amazing trek that can't be explained with words. We hope
you will enjoy this stunning adventure!
