Useful Information


Everest base camp trek difficulty & altitude sickness


In terms of difficulty, the trek to Everest Base Camp is challenging due to the high altitude and rugged terrain. The trek covers a distance of around 130 km (81 miles) round trip and involves several steep ascents and descents, including the famous climb up to Kala Patthar at an altitude of 5,545m (18,192 ft). 
Trekkers will also need to cross suspension bridges, rocky paths, and uneven terrain, which can be physically demanding. The Everest base camp trek is accessible to people with good physical fitness and no serious health issues. Trekking experience is not mandatory, but it can be helpful to have prior hiking experience to prepare for the trek.


The high altitude and potential for altitude sickness make the EBC trek challenging. Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), occurs when your body struggles to adjust to the decreased oxygen levels at high altitudes. The symptoms can include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
To minimize the risk of altitude sickness, it's important to acclimatize properly by spending a few days at different altitudes before reaching the highest points of the trek. You have to stay hydrated, avoid alcohol and smoking, and listen to your body & rest when necessary. In case of severe symptoms, descend to lower altitudes immediately.


How can solo travelers do the Everest base camp trek?

Solo travelers can join one of our fixed departures for Everest base camp trekking or opt for a private trek with us. Fixed departures are group treks, so you will be joined by other travelers from around the world. If you like making friends and socializing, this will be a perfect option for you. 
For travelers who prefer trekking alone and have their own schedule, you can go for a private trek with us. A private trek will allow you to trek solo with an expert guide and a porter. As the Everest base camp trek solo is banned from 1st April 2023, this is the best you get close to trekking alone to the lap of the highest mountain in the world. 


Best time to do Everest base camp trek

Everest Base Camp is located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, which experiences four distinct seasons: spring (March to May), summer/monsoon (June to August), autumn (September to November), and winter (December to February). The weather and climate conditions can vary greatly depending on the season. Spring and autumn is the best time to do Everest base camp trekking. 


Everest base camp trek in spring

Spring is the peak trekking season in the Everest region as the weather is generally dry and mild with moderate temperatures. The daytime temperature can range from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F), and the nighttime temperature can drop to -10°C to -5°C (14°F to 23°F) at higher altitudes. However, it can be quite windy and dusty, and there is a possibility of occasional snow or rainfall. Spring decorates the entire trail with blooming flowers and teeming vegetation. 


Everest base camp trek in summer/monsoon

This season brings the monsoon rains to the region, making the trail muddy and slippery. The daytime temperature can range from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), and the nighttime temperature can drop to 0°C to -5°C (32°F to 23°F) at higher altitudes. We do not recommend the Everest base camp trek in the summer/monsoon season due to the heavy rainfall and the possibility of landslides and flooding. The Lukla flight is also frequently delayed and canceled because of bad weather. 


Everest base camp trek in autumn

The daytime temperature can range from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F), and the nighttime temperature can drop to -10°C to -5°C (14°F to 23°F) at higher altitudes. This is the best season to enjoy the stunning mountain views and experience the local culture. Likewise, you may also get to see the biggest festivals of Nepalese people in this season. 


Everest base camp trek in winter

Winter is the coldest and driest season in the Everest region. The trail can be covered in snow and ice. The daytime temperature can range from 5°C to 10°C (41°F to 50°F), and the nighttime temperature can drop to -20°C to -10°C (-4°F to 14°F) at higher altitudes.

Amazing experience

Great tour, great guide. I decided to do the Everest Base Camp tour spontaneously and booked a night before leaving the next day. Our guide Anil picked us up from the airport and took care of everything. He made me feel comfortable and safe. We had a lot of fun and a great time. The landscape was amazing even though it was really cold at night it was worth it. Always again!

Excellent quality of service

The quality of service of Nepal Adventure Pilgrimage Treks and Expedition is perfect. It was the second year in sequence when we ordered permits, transfers and service of porters for trekking. The work is clear done, everyone is very friendly and responsive. Even during the track they always kept in touch with us, finding out if everything was good with us. Thanks again! Recommend.

Ebc Trek

Great experience from end to beginning. We came to Kathmandu with no booking so we looked around for agencies. It was when we were buying gear that the owner of the shop contacted Anil, the manager of the company I’m reviewing, and he offered us to match competition prices, he lend us some raincoats we were missing, and even kept our bags during the whole trip to Everest. He got us a guide from Lukla, the first town in the trek, and was an amazing guide, very friendly and humble, we’re still missing him, Kamal. During the trip we got very good lodges and food. The guide was not strict and he would no rush to get to the top. Decisions during the trek were made by us and the guide and by no means we were forced to do anything if we did not want to. Also Anil was always trying to contact us to know how the trek was going and by the end of the trip he took us to a great dinner back in Kathmandu. He even helped us to get a flight to Thailand, our next destination, when we were leaving Nepal. In short, Anil and Kamal’s service exceeded our expectations :) Thanks for everything!!

Best company, even better guide!

We had the pleasure of having Anil as our guide to EBC in Oct 2022. He's extremely knowledgeable with the trek up to base camp. Looked after our group very well. Anil and the porters went above and beyond to look after us. We really enjoyed our trek. Anil is extremely friendly he makes sure we have what we needed and more. He also a funny and cheeky guy which made our trek more enjoyable. Thank you for looking after us Mr Anil Dhakal and his company ! You've been great and really enjoyed our trip. Until next time.

14 Day Everest Base Camp Trek

I booked an Everest Base Camp trip with Anil in Oct 2022. Weather was bad for flying at the start, so Anil came up with a nice plan to extend the trip with 4 days extra hiking. Everything went smoothly. My guide, Bhabanath was really experienced and helpful. Good thing, because sleeping accomadations at this busy time are quite difficult to secure without careful planning. Great time, great weather and lots of fun. Thank you Anil and Bhabanth. if you go to Nepal please you have to choose Nepal Adventure Pilgrimage Trek .
