Difficulty
Although the trekking path is not difficult, the fact that we are traveling to a high elevation makes it a difficult trek. On a scale of 1 to 10, we would rate it a 7 as you have to trek for 5 hours in average everyday. This is not a beginner-friendly trek, you should not be trekking this trail with no prior experience as it may turn out to be your worst experience.
Best seasons
Even while there’s a chance of some rainy days in the spring, after the rainy season passes, you can nearly always count on bright, clear skies and sunny days. In Nepal, autumn brings pleasant weather, great conditions for hiking and mountaineering, and breathtaking vistas made clear by the monsoon’s removal of sediment and pollutants from the sky. Obviously, you must exercise caution; if you begin too early, monsoon issues may still arise.
When the weather has completely calmed, which is generally about halfway through September, you are safe. The nicest weather and calmer routes are usually found in late September and early November. Watch out for hikes scheduled later in the season, too, as December is when temperature levels really start to drop.
Altitude Sickness
Many locals and visitors to Nepal experience signs of this illness when walking up mountains. The likelihood of experiencing altitude sickness often begins at about 3500 meters.
The reduced oxygen availability at high elevations is the cause of altitude sickness. The human body will occasionally adapt to its environment, lowering the chance of altitude sickness.
The reasons why certain persons may have altitude sickness are not well-defined. Anyone who is in high altitudes is susceptible to it. Nonetheless, persons with respiratory conditions, those living at lower elevations, and youngsters are more vulnerable to altitude sickness.
Accommodation, Food and Drink
You will be served traditional Nepalese food and will be staying at guest houses for most of the nights. Our Everest Base Camp Trek 15 Days will cover all your accommodation expenses as well as 3 meals per day. As for drinks, you are on your own.
Transportation
Pick up and drop off at the international airport in Kathmandu, transport to the starting point of the trek, and transport to Kathmandu from the ending point of the trek; all of these transports are included in the package. We will make sure that you get to your destination on time and also be back in Kathmandu on time. You do not have to pay anything extra for any of these transportation. This package does not cover your flight fares.
Permit for Everest Base Camp Trek
Everest National Park permit and TIMS card (Trekking Information Management System) are the permits you will need to travel the Everest Base Camp Trek 15 Days trip. These permits cost a couple thousand Nepalese rupees but you won’t have to pay for it separately as they are covered by our trek package.
These permits are funding for the development and perseverance of these remote regions. You will notice during your trek that these regions are financially not doing very well and since tourism is their only marketable character, permits are set in place to make sure they benefit from it.
Your Extra expenses
Your travel insurance, medical insurance, visa fees, additional accommodation (in case you have to stay at one place for more than a day), tips for the crew members, flight expenses (except flight to and from Lukla), and anything not mentioned as a part of the package.
