It is a very satisfying, traditional Nepalese dish that is served warm. The tea houses also serve other culinary items that you can order based on your preferences, like bread, fried and boiled eggs, noodles, thukpa soup, and chapatis. Remember that when you hike more into isolated locations, the cost of meals increases with altitude, as transporting food to higher settlements is an expensive endeavor.

The EBC Trek Helicopter Return from Pheriche will have you staying in teahouses and lodges. It's a well-liked trekking destination with several tea houses and lodgings situated along the trail. Even though the facilities may be poor as you go farther into the distant areas, you will still enjoy a nice stay. The tea houses offer a warm, comfortable room with a single bed, pillows, and blankets. Carrying sleeping bags is strongly recommended for trekkers, as blankets might not be enough to keep you warm at high altitudes.

EBC Trek with Helicopter Return from Pheriche Difficulty

  • Altitude Sickness

When trekking in high-altitude zones, one of the main concerns is altitude sickness. You will travel great distances and ascend and descend through narrow, steep areas on the EBC Trek Helicopter Return from Pheriche. When hiking at high altitudes, there is always a chance of altitude sickness. Altitude sickness symptoms include headaches, exhaustion, difficulty falling asleep, rapid heartbeats, and shortness of breath.

  • Fatigue

You may experience fatigue or exhaustion at some point because you will be trekking steep and narrow portions of the trail over extended periods. One of the biggest challenges hikers have on high-altitude expeditions is fatigue from the uphills and confined places. Thus, it's best to walk at a steady pace and avoid exerting oneself too much.

Don't rush to get there; instead, take short breaks and rest days to help you acclimatize. Trekking fatigue prevents you from enjoying the experience and increases your risk of illness, which could disrupt your vacation. To prevent fatigue and ensure that the trek is completed, you must hike at a steady pace.

  • Weather Conditions

Weather variations present one of the biggest problems for high-altitude trekking. In the mountainous areas, one of the biggest problems is the quick fluctuations in weather. In a short while, bright weather might quickly turn overcast. It is therefore imperative that you equip yourself with the necessities to help you stay safe from inclement weather and be well-prepared for the weather-related problems of the Himalayan Region.
