People often dream to try something adventurous for a unique experience at least once in their lifetime. Trekking is one of such interests that escorts people through the picturesque landscape and often leads to the Himalayan heart. As Nepal is a tiny Himalayan country, various trekking trails welcome thousands of trekkers every year. Everest base camp trekking is one of the adventurous trekking in Nepal, which people always prefer to mark themselves to be a part of the adventure stories with gaining the height of 5545 meters in the Sagarmatha National Park, the north-east part of Nepal.
The round trip from Lukla to Everest base camp and vice versa, the trail to Everest base camp covers about 130 km (80 miles). However, a couple of rest and acclimatization hike will increase the walks as acclimatization is an essential part of safe trekking in the Everest region. Every day, based on the itinerary, you walk roughly 4-8 kilometers, but it all depends on your walking speed and the customization of the trip itinerary.
The duration of the Everest base camp trekking depends on your preference. Would you like to do the whole 130 km on foot or trek to EBC and Kalapatthar then taking a wonderful helicopter flight back to Kathmandu? So, the usual itinerary suggests 12 days from Lukla and ending the trek at Lukla. But there are some alternative routes to reach Everest base camp enjoying extra adventurous high passes. The total distance will also increase. The three high pass trekking route escorts taking a left trail that follows Thame. Crossing the Renjo-La Pass (5340 meters), climb down to the Gokyo valley, and cross another technical pass of the Cho-La (5330 meters). After exploring the Everest base camp and Kalapatthar, the last high pass in this region is the Khongma La Pass (5555 meters).
<h3>Where and How the Everest Base Camp Trek Begins? &nbsp;</h3>
As aforementioned, Everest base camp trek embarks from Lukla, which is a Himalayan town located at 2860 meters (9383 feet). It is accessible after a short Himalayan flight (about half an hour) from the domestic airport of Kathmandu. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla sometimes gets obstructed due to the sudden change in weather, so a couple of extra days for contingency are required so that you will not miss your important appointment of schedule. Besides the flight by plane, a Helicopter is another option, which is possible even there is a flight cancellation.
<h3>Duration of Everest Base Camp Trek</h3>
Although the world&rsquo;s epic adventure of the Everest Base Camp Trekking is just a 130 km round trip, it requires a minimum of 12 walking days from Lukla, including a couple of acclimatization breaks in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche. The only reason is the hefty increase in elevation. The rugged trail, glacial route, and rocky terrain make the trek further challenging. However, the thin air region is a real challenge in the trekking, which begins after heading from Namche Bazaar (3440 meters).
The walking gets slower heading from Dingboche around 4360 meters altitude due to the lack of oxygen in the air. Even the flat ground looks adventurous and tiny peaks as giant ones. Shortness of breath and fatigue make the journey quite challenging so the short distance needs a long walking duration.
Besides the trekking duration of 12 days, you need to manage some extra days. To be specific, you need to adjust the altitude and weather of Kathmandu in the beginning. Arrival day and sightseeing not only gives you enough time for acclimatization but also to explore the medieval town with world heritage sites. Also, a couple of extra days after completing the trekking would be great to get relief from the tiredness and shopping for souvenirs from the local market. Or in case the flight gets canceled, the extra days come in use as reserve days.
Everest base camp seems far away than it really is for the senior citizens and children as they find it challenging to breathe well due to the elevation. However, the best option is to trek to Everest base camp and fly back to Kathmandu by helicopter. So, the far distance becomes a closer one with an hour flight from Kalapatthar.
<h3>When is the best time to go to Everest Base Camp?</h3>
The best time mainly includes two seasons, April and May in spring and October and November in autumn. The fall months are amazing for the trek to get outstanding Himalayan views including the top of the world- Mount Everest (8848.86 meters), Lhotse, Makalu, and Ama Dablam along with their neighboring peaks. Also, the days are warmer, which is a great time for trekking.

How Far is Everest Base Camp?

safety and security during everest base camp trek, evrest trekking

Is it safe to trek to Everest Base Camp? How hard is it? How adventurous is it to trek to Everest base camp? These are quite common topics for the wanderers who dream to achieve the adventurous trek to Everest base camp. Safety and security during the Everest Base Camp Trek standstill as different people opine the trek in their own way. Here, we are trying to visualize you the exact scenario of the trek to EBC, especially in regard to safety and security.
Everest Base Camp Trekking begins at 2800 meters altitude, which is named Lukla. It is accessible after a short Himalayan flight from Kathmandu airport. The altitude already soars up than Kathmandu, which is located at 1300 meters altitude. As far as the trek continues, the alpine located valleys and towns welcome you, walking through the rugged trail through the Sagarmatha National Park. The trail initially is not a challenging one as it is wide and wonderful; walking in the alpine valleys can be a bit challenging.
<h2>Walking above the Namche Bazaar (3440 meters)</h2>
Namche Bazaar is an excellent town known as the Sherpa hub in the Khumbu region. On the EBC trekking trail, trekkers often spend an extra day in this town to acclimatize as the thin air region begins walking further. An acclimatization day in Namche not only allows you to explore the cultural diversities around the Khumjung valley but helps you to adapt to the altitude. It ultimately reduces the risk of getting caught from acute mountain sickness (AMS).
<ul>
<li>Namche Bazaar (3440 meters)</li>
<li>Tengboche (3870 meters)</li>
<li>Dingboche (4360 meters)</li>
<li>Lobuche (4950 meters)</li>
<li>Gorakshep (5170 meters)</li>
<li>Everest Base Camp (5364 meters)</li>
<li>Kalapatthar (5545 meters)</li>
</ul>
Walking further from Tengboche to Dingboche and Lobuche to Gorakshep, trekkers cross some of the steepest routes along with the glacial trail. On the other hand, the thin air region is pretty much tough to head further. So, walking with multiple stops, breathing well, drinking plenty of water, and drinking hot soups with meals can best way to do the trekking to Everest Base Camp.
<h3>What is Acute Mountain Sickness? Can it happen in Everest Base Camp Trek?</h3>
While trekking in the high altitude region, people feel a kind of disturbance in respiration due to the reduction in oxygen in the atmosphere. As you walk further in the high altitude, the human body tries to fit in the thin air region with a reduced amount of oxygen in the air. When our body fails to manage the adaptation, altitude mountain sickness happens. And it is not something good.
Altitude mountain sickness does not happen at once; rather you get some symptoms while ascending to the higher altitude. &nbsp;Even altitude sickness is not a huge problem at once, but it should not be underestimated. Instead, it should be handled properly with acclimatization rest, having meals with ginger soup, and taking proper medications.
Generally, altitude mountain sickness is experienced from 2400 meters altitude above the sea level. But the risk increases above 3500 meters. The altitude of 5000 meters is a high-risk zone. In Everest base camp trekking, walking above Namche Bazaar is an excursion above 3400 meters, which gradually soars up 4000 meters, 4500 meters, 5000 meters, and ultimately to 5545 meters of Kalapatthar along with the Everest base camp at 5364 meters altitude.
<h2>Symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)</h2>
<ul>
<li>Headache</li>
<li>Loss of appetite</li>
<li>Nausea</li>
<li>Vomiting</li>
<li>Fatigue and weakness</li>
<li>Dizziness</li>
<li>Restless sleep</li>
<li>Shortness of breath</li>
<li>Swelling of the face and hands.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Preventions</h2>
<ul>
<li>Trek high, sleep low (in available places)</li>
<li>Do not drink alcohol in the alpine region</li>
<li>Avoid sleeping pills</li>
<li>Drink ginger tea/coffee</li>
<li>Have ginger soup with meals in the mountain</li>
<li>Acclimatize well with at least a couple of stops in Everest Base Camp Trekking</li>
<li>Do not use narcotic medication</li>
</ul>
<h2>What about Diamox?</h2>
It is ok to use Diamox to prevent altitude sickness, but take proper advice from your doctor.
<h2>Travel Insurance for Safety</h2>
Travel insurance is a significant part of the trek to Everest base camp. As the trek escorts you over 5000 meters altitude, the risk of altitude sickness is high there. Even the trail is rugged and no roads with vehicles are there. If some bad health condition occurs or any kind of emergency, helicopter evacuation is required due to the fact that no facilitated hospitals are there in the altitude level. Having travel insurance gives you confidence without thinking much about the adversity in the trekking.
<h2>Pack Well</h2>
You need to pack well for the Everest base camp trekking for wonderful and safe trekking. Packing woolen kinds of stuff with air and waterproof clothes are essentials for the journey. Here are some of the lists of packing.
Long-sleeve t-shirt
Down jacket and sleeping bag (provided by the company but should return after the trip)

Light inner gloves

<h2>First aid box</h2>

Safety and Security in Everest Base Camp Trek

When COVID-19 shocked the entire globe with fear and locked the travelers inside their home, the crown of the Himalayas, Everest region faced an unexpected result of emptying the region with the trekkers and climbers. Mount Everest witnessed a blow after the plunge in the number of travelers at the surface level for the first time in history. It is a record break after the mountain pioneers Hillary and Tenzing Norgay explored the virgin trail to Everest base camp and succeeded the expedition of the world&rsquo;s tallest peak.
Unlike this crazy scenario, Everest tourism used to hit a high record with the employment opportunity, collection of the huge economy, and promote the magnificent Himalayan range throughout the world. The adventure lovers do not feel quenched until they conquer the EBC trekking trail once in their lifetime. So, how is it now, especially in the aftermath of coronavirus (COVID 19)?
With the rapid spread of covid 19, the Nepal government decided to close its borders and stopped all types of flights. The holistic approach to travel and social scenario changed and the country faced crazy lockdown conditions continuously. As tourism fell to the surface, the Everest region could not be exceptional. Once the trail to Everest base camp used to give an impression of Disneyland, and eventually, it slept in tranquility, leaving thousands of unemployed people, affecting millions of those who depend on tourism. A long silence prevailed in the Everest region.
My team would be extremely busy handling trekking groups in the Everest region along with pick up and drop in Kathmandu. It would be like festival seasons in spring and autumn, however, this year we just kept ourselves busy in uploading pictures and creating blogs, says Sudip who works in Shiva Excursion as manager. But, we are so hopeful with the upcoming seasons that will take our stress away, he adds. Everest region after all is a magnet that pulls adventure seekers with a great dream to hike through the Sherpa valley, Sagarmatha National Park, and fulfill their dream to explore the tallest peak in the world-Mount Everest.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Hotels, lodges, restaurants, trekking gear shops, trekking agencies, guides, and porters along with mountaineering organizers faced huge wreckage in Nepal due to the effect of COVID-19. Still, various companies and service providers that are dependent on tourism are struggling to come over the chaos and confusion.
I have been running this lodge for the last ten years, but I had not seen this type of emptiness in the Everest region, an owner of a lodge in Dingboche shares his information that has been staying in Kathmandu since April. Our busy hands and energy had to stay passive and silent. Hope we can be active again serving our clients, he says.
Thousands of porters and guides who have been leading trekkers in the Everest region became jobless. They had to move to their village and support their parents in agriculture and other professions. It was for a short time because they were waiting for a good time to come back to their work, but it remained silenced for a long time. It is the same thing for those who work in restaurants, hotels, and other service-providing centers.
So what next? The answer might vary based on the individuals and institutions based on the spread rate of COVID-19 and vaccines developed in different countries. However, we have a hopeful and different idea of making trekking in the Everest region exclusively magnificent.
&nbsp;
As the effect of COVID-19, Everest trekking routes have become amazingly beautiful that seem to be virgin trails. Everest Base Camp Trekking, Gokyo Lake Trekking, Everest Three Pass Trekking, Pikey Peak Base Camp Trek, and other numerous trekking trails with amazing sceneries are waiting for the trekkers. The routes have become peaceful, clean and out of the bustling crowds.
The empty trails in the Khumbu region, lodges, restaurants, and transportation providers are ready now. With the vaccines, the rays of hope have raised that can flourish tourism again in the Khumbu region. The beauties of the Khumbu region are there, warm welcoming Sherpa people with their unique cultural prosperities are there, the diversities of flora and fauna in the Sagarmatha National Park are there. Just we need is a safe trip to the Everest Himalayas.
Safe trekking in the Everest region can be done after you follow the procedures of the Nepal government and using the safety measures. Your negative PCR report, using sanitizers and mask along with the COVID insurance of 5000 USD allows trekking in Nepal, so does the Everest region.
For the professional arrangement of trekking in Everest with experienced guides and porters, Shiva Excursion takes care of all the management in your next adventure trekking in the Everest region (Khumbu region) of Nepal, including transportation and accommodation.

How Much does it Cost to Everest Base Camp?

The world&rsquo;s most epic adventure in the Khumbu region of Nepal, Everest Base Camp Trekking is an excursion of 12 days only walking from Lukla. The trail covers around 130 km in total from 2800 meters altitude above the sea level to 5545 meters altitude, known as Kalapatthar. Anyone dreaming to explore the top of the world Mount Everest (8848.86 meters) enjoys the trek through the thin air region and the glacial route, so the trek is a challenging adventure.
The first time I had done Annapurna Base Camp Trekking in the north-western part of Nepal. The moderately adventurous trekking filled up confidence in my heart that escorted me to 4130 meters altitude and I was inspired and tried Everest Base Camp Trekking the following year. I was confident with the team of Shiva Excursion, so I just contacted them to organize the trekking to Everest Base Camp with 15 days itinerary including my arrival, sightseeing, and departure. But still, I had a little doubt about the challenges and hardness of the trail, which also goes through the glacier route. Except for having a shortness breathing problem for a couple of days, I completed the trek with my friend. But of course, EBC Trekking is a real adventurous excursion in Nepal. &ndash;Maria from the USA (New York)
Like the aforementioned review, Everest Base Camp Trek is an adventurous journey, which was explored by the Himalayan pioneers- Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Edmund Hillary. The trek is perfect for the thrill-seekers as the trekking has got various route options and the level of adventure you prefer to experience.
The most usual and popular route is a straightforward trail to Everest base camp from Lukla walking in the Sagarmatha National Park, passing through the remarkable villages like Namche Bazaar, Khumjung, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche. From Gorakshep, it guides you to the Everest Base Camp (5545 meters) and Kalapatthar (5545 meters) as it is the highest Himalayan settlement on this route. Kalapatthar is the best Himalayan viewpoint of the Everest Himalayan chain, including Mt. Everest, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, and several lower altitude peaks. With the sunrise rays, the snowy peaks turn out to be marvelous, alluring thousands of trekkers every day.
During the trek, we recommend two breaks to ease the trek with the hardness both physically and environmentally. Namche Bazaar (3440 meters) is the first breakpoint, which helps to acclimatize and also it&rsquo;s great to explore around the picturesque towns. The second point is Dingboche at 4350 meters altitude with a short hike around Chhukung or climbing the nearby hill. Acclimatization rest and hiking around help to fit in the alpine altitude breathe well and sleep nicely. While walking in the thin air region, Acute Mountain sickness may happen unexpectedly that might affect the whole journey, so acclimatization rest is a must for the excursion.
If we just say Everest Base Camp Trekking is a difficult trek, then we may not be right all the time, because hundreds of children and senior citizens complete Everest trekking every year. So, walking carefully, acclimatizing, eating warm meals with soup, drinking plenty of water, and holding an adventure soul can make your trip to EBC magnificent.
Furthermore, for the thrill-seekers and trekking through the less-trafficked trail, where you can get more adventure experience, you have some alternative route options. The trek is known as Everest Three Pass Trekking. From Namche Bazaar, taking the route towards Thame, the trail escorts you ultimately to the Renjo-La Pass and climb down to the Gokyo valley. An adventure experience crossing over the 5000 meters high pass is daring to face the challenge. Hiking towards the Gokyo Ri, the trail further leads to the Cho-La Pass, which is considered a technical high pass around 5300 meters altitude. Including the Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar, the trek escorts you to the Khongma La Pass and joins the usual route of the EBC trek, ultimately ending at Lukla.
However, besides doing all three passes in the Everest region, the trek from Gokyo Lake and Cho La Pass can be done; but still, it&rsquo;s a challenging trek through the icy high pass trail to Everest base camp.
Everest base camp trek becomes extremely challenging in winter after the snowfall starts. So, the best time is spring and autumn. Is it a hard journey to Everest base camp? The answer is simple: if you trek with confidence, well prepared, trekking in the best season and great arrangement of the professional trekking company in Nepal makes your trek great without a big hassle.
