Difficulties of 12 Days Everest Base Camp Trek:
The Everest Base Camp Package is a moderate trip that lasts 12 days. This journey might be difficult for those who are new to hiking, particularly in Himalayan terrain. Because youll be hiking through dangerous trails filled with numerous obstacles. You can overcome any challenges on this hike if you train effectively and plan ahead of time. You must hike for at least 5 to 6 hours each day on this expedition. The terrain is steep and strenuous, with several ups and downs. Good health and physical fitness are required for this expedition.
Some of the significant challenges that you may face during this high altitude trek are as follows:
Green Valley Nepal Treks 12 days Everest Base Camp Itinerary is designed to carefully acclimatize trekkers so they dont get altitude sickness.
Due to inclement weather, the flight to Lukla or the return flight from Lukla to Kathmandu may be canceled. Even during peak season, it can happen at any time. If your flight is canceled, you will have to shorten the duration of your excursion.
If the regular flight is canceled, a helicopter is available. When aircraft are unable to fly, helicopters are available; if the trip team chooses this alternative, we may arrange it; however, there will be an additional charge, and precise costs cannot be confirmed until the time, since prices are determined by availability and quality. A helicopter ride to or from Lukla is estimated to cost between $300 and $500 per person. Clients must pay this amount in full at the time of service.
The weight restriction for the aircraft to Lukla is 10kg for main luggage and 6 to 8kg for hand luggage.
The Everest Base Camp Itinerary is a fully guided trip lasting 12 days. You will be accompanied by a local guide who is extremely experienced, informed, and kind. We deal with qualified guides who are fully insured and have undergone extensive training by the Nepalese government. For safety reasons, our guides will bring all of the necessary gear as well as a first-aid kit with them on the hike. If you have any medical supplies, we recommend bringing them along.
If any of our group members become unwell due to altitude sickness or other unexpected situations, we will send a rescue chopper to return our customers. In this scenario, we may need to file a claim with your travel insurance to pay the costs of your rescue, so make sure you have good travel insurance that covers medical evacuation and an emergency rescue helicopter up to 600 meters.
Travel insurance is required for trekkers taking part in any mountain treks or tours for safety purposes. Purchasing travel insurance, especially while traveling in mountainous locations, is like having a safety net on which you can rely and relax while on your excursion.
We strongly advise purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that includes emergency helicopter rescue and medical evacuation coverage. It will be an aided protection trip, including coverage for personal injury, damage, evacuation costs, and any sickness. Having appropriate travel insurance will give you not only peace of mind while traveling with us, but also total covering for any catastrophes that may occur.
Two permits are required for this trek: Sagarmatha National Park permit and Pasang Lhamu Rural Area permit.
Foreign nationals will have to pay NPR 3,000 for a Sagarmatha National Park permit. Similarly, Nepalese pay NPR. 100, while SAARC nationals pay NPR. 1,500.
The charge for a permit from the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality is NPR 2000 per person each week for the first four weeks. After that, each person pays NPR 2500 each week. You dont need TIMS permission for the Everest region since you have a restricted area special permit.
As a result of the high altitude ascent, your body will require enough carbohydrates and proteins. Food and delicacies from the local area are highly recommended since they are considerably more hygienic. Dal Bhat, a Nepalese meal, is a great option since it has both carbs and protein. The lentils, beans, and pulses soup will provide you lots of protein. Additional nutrition will be provided via seasonal veggies.
Momo (dumplings), locally grown Barley, Buckwheat, Millet, and Corn Roti (Bread), noodles, sandwiches, bakery products, tea, coffee, and more are among the menu items available. High-fiber grains such as buckwheat, millet, and barley are also nutritionally rich. Noodles, spaghetti, macaroni, pizza, lasagna, curry meals, and fried rice are just a few of the foods that may be made quickly.
At high elevations, fresh vegetable products, green tea, lemon tea, hot lemon, ginger tea, and garlic soup are all highly recommended. We will not recommend the non-vegetarian selections since the meat may not be as hygienic. At high altitudes, dairy food, alcoholic beverages, caffeinated beverages, and hot chocolates must all be avoided.
We will manage you a high-end accommodation and teahouse at your price range. Our 12-day Everest base camp trekking itinerary offers accommodations in budget-friendly hotels and lodges. The teahouse has comfortable mattresses with pillows, electric blankets, hot and cold showers, and other amenities. The accommodation usually has two single beds for two trekkers in a group, but if necessary, a single room can be given. Our accommodation offers nice views, comfortable mattresses, and attached bathrooms (not everywhere). If youre touring alone, we can arrange separate rooms.
Spring and autumn are the two most popular trekking seasons in Nepal, whether its for Everest Base Camp or any other place.
The months of February, March, April, and May have mostly steady and dry weather with a mild climate. This time of year is ideal for hiking in the Everest area, with daily views of the mountains and scenery that are crystal clear. Thousands of flowers and plants bloom in the spring, making the walk in Nepal more attractive and fun.
Autumn, which encompasses the months of September, October, November, and December, is another fantastic time to hike on Everest Base Camp. During the fall, daytime temperaturesrange from 14 to 20 degrees Celsius, while overnight temperatures might drop to -5to -10 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for hiking.
