Everest back in 1953 the trail has got many visitors. Some come to test their perseverance while some come to get repose from everyday walk of their life. 

Why EBC Trek route is Popular?

The Everest Base Camp Trekking route is not merely a trail to walk on. It is the route to create the tales of unlimited intrepidity, natural beauty and Himalayan wilderness. From the start to the finish the journey keeps every trekker on their toes with its sheer grandeurs. 

Trekking starts with the flight to Lukla which in itself is an adventure. Landing at the world’s most extreme airport The Tenzing Hillary Airport definitely serves trekkers as appetizers for the things to come on rest of the trail. 

Most of the trekking is through alpine forests. However, after Dingboche the tree lines disappear and one can experience the Tundra Vegetation only. The route is most trekked which has made it very organized with lots of teahouses and clear signage. 

 Khumbu region of Nepal is home of world’s highest situated UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE the Sagarmatha National Park. It is rich in flora and fauna. There are numerous endangered species of animals and birds in the park. 

Trail of EBC Trek is mostly along the Dudhkoshi and Imja River as well as few Sherpa hamlets. There are plethora of chortens along the way including world famous Tengboche Monastery. 

Some of the villages which are on the trail are very famous throughout the world. Namche Bazaar being the nerve center of Khumbu endows every modern facility even if it is situated at an altitude of 3400 m from sea level. Moreover, the villages like Khumjung, Khunde, Phortse, Pangboche and Dingboche are major settlement area of great Sherpa people. 

Trekking Overview

Lukla is the major trail head of the EBC Trek. All the crew members are assembled at the place and embark on the iconic trip to base camp. After breathtaking mountain flight trekkers take a tea break at Lukla and start their walking journey. 

Second day of trekking from Phakding to Namche Bazaar is very special. It is the day when trekkers get the first glimpse of Mt. Everest as well as enter the core Sherpa settlement. There are numerous suspension bridges to cross and chilling mountain air to breathe. 

Trekkers take the acclimatization break at Namche Bazaar. This is the major town of Khumbu with many excellent teahouses, eateries and shops. During acclimatization hiking trekkers are able to witness more than a dozen mountains. Most noticeable ones are the vistas of Mt. Everest, Amadablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Tabuche, Cholatse, Thamserku, and Kwangde. 

Trekking follows the route of Tengboche Monastery and enters the Upper Khumbu area from Dingboche Village onwards. The changing landscape and vegetation keeps on reminding you about the superiority of the great Khumbu in terms of diversified walking trail. 

Trail after Lobuche is on the moraines until trekkers reach the Everest Base Camp. Early morning sunrise experience from the top of Kalapathar is second most popular activity to do during EBC Trek after base camp visit. Trekkers follow the same path back to Lukla. 

Altitude and Everest Trekking

We at Everest Buddha Treks believe that satisfaction of clients matters the most. Therefore, we always strive to conclude the trekking successfully. However, Everest Base Camp Trekking requires meticulous planning in order to avoid the threat of altitude sickness. 

Lots of trekkers couldn’t finish the trekking because of adverse weather and altitude difference. Our trekking guides are highly experienced and our itinerary is very dynamic. EBC Trekking itinerary knitted by our travel planners allows trekkers to pace their trekking according to their potential. We believe in gradual but slow ascent whereas fast descent. Every week at our office the crew members are taught about perfection in guiding the guests successfully. 

Best way to avoid the altitude sickness is the consumption of fluid and proper acclimatization. Please check out our itinerary. We have two acclimatization breaks during the trekking. It helps trekkers to get adjusted to the changing altitude and surrounding.

How to obtain visa to travel to Nepal?

You can obtain “VISA” to Nepal through embassy or other diplomatic mission to your country. You can also obtain visa at entry points to Nepal or at the airport in the immigration for merely $40. The extension of visa requires an additional payment of $30. Do not forget to carry some passport size photos with you.

I want to go on a trek. What is the best time and place for it?

Everything you want to do is time and cost specific. Besides, your experience in trekking will also matter. There is wide range of options in Nepal if you want to explore. If you arrive in proper season, that is, between September to November (Autumn Season) and March to May (Spring Season), you might just experience something that you will be able to cherish for the lifetime. The shortest of trek can be Ghorepani Poon Hill trek, Langtang Helambu Trek or the Annapurna Circuit. The Everest trek and the full Annapurna sanctuary Trek can be ideal if you have a little more time. Finally, if you are looking for something that’s longer and more challenging, you’re looking at Kanchanjunga or Makalu area Trek.

What are the best trekking routes?

Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Basecamp, Everest Basecamp, Dhaulagiri Circuit, Manaslu Circuit and Kanchanjunga are the most popular trekking routes in Nepal.

Should I trek with an agency or should I trek alone?

Trekking alone can be a good experience if you are familiar with the terrain and have quite a few experiences in the area. Nobody can drag you down, and you can move at your own pace savoring the pleasant sceneries around to you. However, if it is your first experience or so, you might want to travel in group or with an agency. Should situations like medical emergencies, isolation due to disasters, etc. occur, having a group can be a matter of relief. If you have no group and you’re all by yourselves, you can hire a porter or a guide.

Is communication to our home country possible while on a trek or climb?

Nepal’s communication facilities are getting day by day, and most portions of trekking routes have mobile phone coverage. In case of a climb, VHF or satellite phones are available at the base camp. In both cases, weather can play an important role in communication.
