So, are you ready for this Everest Base Camp Trek, which takes you on a lively trail to achieve the trophy of a lifetime?

How to Explore the Everest Base Camp?

Everest Base Camp Trek starts with a flight to Lukla. We take a scenic flight over the Himalayas to the Khumbu region of Nepal. Upon landing, we commence our trekking journey with a walk along the narrow streets of Lukla to the Dudhkoshi River. Further, we hike up and pass the village of Phakding to enter into Sagarmatha National Park. Sagamatha National Park is enriched with a variety of floras and faunas. It is home to many rare floras and faunas found only in the Himalayan regions of Nepal.

We then walk along the forests and pass the villages of Monjo and Jorsale to Namche. Namche is a vibrant town in the Everest region and the only gateway to Everest Base Camp Trek. The town has many shops, hotels, lodges, cyber cafes, and restaurants to cater to the needs of many travellers who pass by the route yearly. The streets of Namche are narrow but crowded all the time. Sometimes, trekkers crowd it, and the rest of the time, dzopkos haul up loads of goods. Dzopkos are a cross of a yak and a cow. They are a popular means of transportation in Everest Base Camp Trek.  

From Namche, we get even closer to the mountains by ascending to Tengboche monastery. Additionally, Tengboche is the largest monastery in the Khumbu region. The peripheral area of this monastery offers some mind-blowing views of mountains. Following our trail to the base camp, we pass the pastures of Dingboche. Subsequently, we climb to the Everest Base Camp (5364m) via Lobuche and Gorekshep.

As the mighty Everest is hidden from the base camp, we hike up to Kalapatthar for glorious sunrise views over Mt. Everest. Notably, Kalapatthar (5545m) is regarded as a vantage point for 360-degree panoramic views of mountains in the Everest region. From Kalapatthar, we conclude our journey by descent down to Lukla using the same path.

Is the Trek suitable for you?

If you can resist the elevation gain and are comfortable walking for around seven hours a day for a continuous 10-12 days, the Everest Base Camp Trek is suitable for you. The most challenging aspect of this trek is the resistance to the elevation change. There are no restrictions on your journey to Everest Base Camp as long as you have the willpower to opt for the trek.

If you have decided to go for it, take care of your diet! Additionally, add some proteins, calcium, and vitamins to your diet to make yourself a bit stronger. Early and daily exercise would be helpful to increase your physical stamina. If you take proper care of your physical, mental, and spiritual health, then a successful journey to Everest Base Camp is not so far from you!
