Everest Base Camp is a paradise situated high among the clouds, quite literally. Everest Base Camp lies at an elevation of 5,380m and boasts spectacular views of the mountain giants. Trekking to the Everest Base Camp of Nepal also provides us an opportunity to embark on an epic journey that Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay set off to in 1953. In the khumbu region of the Nepal come close to four of the world highest peaks Mt Everest, Mt Lhotse, Mt Makalu and Mt Cho-Oyu. The Himalayas attract lots of people every year. A lot of tourists are fond of the history and culture of the country which also embraces religion.

 

Everest Base Camp trekking to 15-days is for many a lifetime experience and is not a very difficult task although the camp is located on the altitude of 5,550m over the sea level. We experience astounding mountain views, get glimpses of the life of the world famous mountain climbers (the Sherpa’s), enter Sagarmatha National Park, a world heritage site and tour high altitude Buddhist monasteries. Among several others, Tengboche monastery has a religious significance to the Buddhists. Those who took part in such a trek will never forget the experience and the most exciting views on the mountains. , for travellers who wish to reach the Everest base camp in a more relaxed manner can try a different route like khumbu region, which would be a more appropriate choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Best time to trek Everest base camp, the spring months are (February – May) and fall (September- November). These seasons offer clear days are characteristic of this popular trekking period and clear Mountain View with a clear sky.

Food at Teahouse trekking varies according to the teahouse and its location. Basic Teahouses can offer you a wide variety of meals whereas teahouses situated at higher altitudes may not be able to offer you the same menu. Nonetheless, the food provided in these Teahouses is hygienic and delicious. The meals are usually prepared from the local agro-products. Any other ingredients that cannot grow at certain altitudes are brought from the market. Some common food items you can find at Teahouses are Dal-Bhat set (Rice, lentils, vegetables), Meat, Rice items, Noodles Items, Pasta, Momo, potatoes etc. Breakfast items are usually, toasts, eggs, pancakes, porridge, muesli etc.

1) Go slowly and take a full day for the hike rather than get there as fast as possible.

2) Drink lots of liquid.

3) Always give way to yaks right of way and when you meet one on a path with a drop to one side, always stand on the uphill side.

4) Don’t get caught out with inadequate clothing to cope with a rapid change in weather. This is the high Himalaya and a clear bright morning does not mean the same in the afternoon.

5) Do not wander off by yourself and always make sure people know where you are. Anything can happen and a slip on scree or moraine can mean getting cold very quickly while waiting for someone to come and help.

6) Part of the trek is on lateral moraine and then on the Khumbu glacier itself and some places are slippery. There is no need for crampons but simple care where you are walking is important.

7) Remember that the best approach to safety is to prevent an accident happening in the first place.

 

One of the most important contributors to a medical provision in the Khumbu valley, in particular, is the Himalayan Rescue Association (HRA).The HRA is a voluntary non-profit organization formed in 1973 with an objective to reduce casualties in the Nepal Himalayas. The HRA has an aid post at the village of Pheriche (4250m) which is served by a helipad and has a permanent building as its clinic. During the main climbing season in April/May, there is also an HRA station run by volunteer doctors at Everest Base Camp. This is housed in tented accommodation and each year all the expeditions muck in to construct a helipad nearby.

 

The only two methods of travel mostly are on foot or by helicopter once in the mountains. Obviously certain medical conditions are either so debilitating or urgent that the first option is not practicable as an evacuation method. Helicopter evacuation is very expensive and is also dependent on favorable weather conditions. Many of the helicopters are working at the limit of their operating altitude in the higher parts of the valley. Adventure Alternative will be well placed to coordinate an efficient rescue but we must stress that there is no single definitive cost for a helicopter rescue, much depends on what else the pilot is doing in the area, how far the helicopter has to fly, where it started from and so on. The maximum is about $10,000 from Everest Base Camp itself, so your insurance should cover up to this figure specifically for rescue costs.

 

The helicopter company will require a payment guarantee before they fly, this will be done by your insurance provider, opening a case number and arranging the relevant exchanges of information and certification. For this purpose, it is essential that you have the right policy and provide us with all the policy details. Our staff have got mobile phones and generally, there is somewhere near with a phone signal, or else one of the staff will go to the nearest place. The safety and stability of the injured person is the job of the group and the staff and anyone nearby who can assist because sometimes it can take hours for a helicopter to arrive. Thankfully many of the trails have first aid posts along the way, but every group should be prepared to help deal with an injured person and in this case, it goes without saying that the needs of that person are more important than the trek itinerary.

 

It will be a matter of the helicopter company ascertaining that it is safe to fly to the relevant location and then flying the casualty to a nominated location, almost certainly a hospital in Kathmandu. The helicopter will then be met by Adventure Alternative staff who will help to coordinate any further stages in the process. The helicopter will also fly into Kathmandu airport and our staff will arrange for a car or ambulance to take the person to the hospital.

 

If for any reason the helicopter is unable to fly we will use our many local staff and contacts to coordinate an alternative rescue and treatment regime. Normally this means using horses or simply stretch ring a person off the mountain to the nearest safe place or safe helicopter landing area. Again, this is something that will generally involve everyone.

Likewise, the older you are, the more training is needed.

Seasons of Everest

Mount Everest lies 28° north of the equator and is subject to a typical northern hemisphere seasonal pattern. It lies at the edge of the influence of the Indian Monsoon which brings moisture and clouds from June to September. The cold months are December/January and the best trekking is between these two seasons .during March to May and October to November, when the climate is moderate.

  1. Winter Weather at Everest: Winter weather (Nov to Feb) is dominated by the southward migration of the northern hemisphere jet stream which brings high winds, cold temperatures and on occasion heavy snow falls. Winter can be a great time for trekking as the crowds trying to avoid the cold clear out. Day temperatures are comfortable and sunny skies generally prevail although it can get well below freezing at night.
  2. Spring (pre Monsoon) Weather at Everest: March until the unset of the Monsoon is one of the ideal times to trek. Rain is infrequent and day temperatures are warm. Lots of trekkers and climbers are out in t-shirts.

 

  1. Monsoon Season Everest: The summer weather (June to Sept) is influenced by the Indian Monsoon which brings frequent rainfall and cloudy days. You might find solitude during this time but clouds and rain generally obscure the peaks and it’s not a good time to visit.

 

  1. Fall Weather (post Monsoon) at Everest: The Fall season from the end of the Monsoon until temperatures get cold in December is a great time for trekking with generally clear days and comfortable temperatures.

Temperatures at Everest Summit and Base Camp

 

The coldest temperatures of the year occur from the 15th of December onward until the end of January with temperatures at the summit averaging -37C (-35F) while those at Everest Basecamp average -17C (1.4F). Temperatures warm rapidly in the spring months of April and May bringing t-shirt weather although nights are still cold and chilly. It’s not uncommon to see climbers wearing t-shirts all the way up to camp 3 during this time period.

 

We don’t recommend travel to the region between June and September once the monsoon sets in as generally cloudy weather and rain obscure the peaks and you might be lucky to even see Everest.

The question is why I can’t do Everest Base Camp Trek? If you physically fit, then make your dreams come true. There are many inspiring people.

One of the most iconic treks in the world, the Everest Base Camp trek is of a lengthy distance of 130 Km, that is 65 Km each way.

It is not necessary to carry an oxygen tank while trekking in the Everest Base Camp. However, if you further plan to ascent to Mount Everest or other peaks, it is required to carry an oxygen tank due to lack of oxygen. Not all peaks require the use of oxygen tanks. It is essential to understand beforehand about the need for oxygen tanks while climbing peaks.

This classic Everest trek through the Khumbu valley offers more than just a walking holiday. It is for many a pilgrimage to the highest mountain in the world, in a remarkable country which will leave you with vivid memories of the people who live there.
