Everest Base Camp Trekking FAQs

The historic trek to EBC (Everest Base Camp) is one of the most popular trips in the earth. The scenery around the EBC is really fascinating mixed with flower-packed meadows, forest, rivers, glaciers and exceptional mountainous vistas all through.

As a frequent climber I often asked about Everest Base Camp Trekking. Below I have mentioned some answers to few questions that will help you better prepare for your EBC trekking.

Exactly where’s Mount Everest?

On the border between Nepal and Tibet (China). It is in the Himalaya mountain range which stretches 1500 miles from Northeastern Pakistan to Bhutan. There are over thirty mountains higher than 25,000 feet. Of the fourteen 8,000 meter peaks, nine are located in the Himalayas making it clearly the top of the world.

What’s the most renowned trek in Khumbu?

Trek to EBC is by far the most recognized. There’re several variations to get there apart from going straight up the valley. For instance, you can move through Gokyo for an excellent diversion. A short visit through Chhukhung Valley is also recommended. Annapurna circuit trekking is also very popular alongside Manaslu Circuit and Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking.

How long it requires to trek EBC?

It relies upon your trail but most Everest Base Camp treks takes approximately 20 days. You don’t wish to go for an immediate trek because of the altitude. You land in Lukla at 9250' & go to EBC at 17,500. If you move too fast you’ll get altitude sickness which can get lethal.

Do I really require a guide to trek EBC?

In the year of 2014, the Govt of Nepal started to demand all hikers to have a professional guide, but it’s not clear if this’s imposed. A permit is needed to get into the Sagarmatha National Park where the Everest is positioned. It relies upon your experience and skill, but I’d suggest some type of assistance for the logistics. Nevertheless, a professional guide can make your trekking experience more enjoyable and convenient.

How should I train for the trek?

You’ll wish to be in great shape and not carry any extra weight. In general, concentrate on aerobic capacity & core strength. I recommend a steady workout schedule encompassing extensive aerobic work. You must be doing regular walks with a minimum five miles walk every week with a 15lb pack 6 months prior to your trek. Do as much uphill as feasible. If you reside in a plain region, go to a stadium and employ the steps with your pack.
