The tea houses along the Everest base camp trekking by road will provide you with a good meal.

• A first aid kit with simple medications will be carried by the trekking guide. However, you should bring your medication if it is a distinct type. In an emergency, you will be transported to Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. As a result, a helicopter evacuation must be covered by your travel insurance plan.
• Since the road trip to Everest Base Camp takes place at a high altitude, one should be cautious of AMS. If you experience any AMS symptoms, pay attention to your body's signals and adhere to your guide's instructions. Some of the symptoms of AMS include nausea, vomiting, disorientation, and shortness of breath.

How to Get Prepared For the Everest Base Camp Trekking without Lukla Flight?

You must be both physically and mentally strong if you are planning to trek to Everest base camp by road. If you assume a person's mental state won't matter when trekking through very steep ascents in the Khumbu region, you are seriously mistaken. Without a strong mental attitude, trekkers may give up on the difficult pathways going to the base camp before they have even reached the halfway point of the journey. Hiking up through perilous mountainous terrains undoubtedly places a great deal of physical strain on one's body.

It will be best to be informed that you will stroll up and down on rough terrain for 12 days while carrying your bag pack, weighing at least 6 kg, on average for 5 to 6 hours every day. You will need to begin improving your strength and endurance a few months early. Plan your workouts for five to six days a week, and at least once a week, climb a hill carrying a bag packed with 6 to 12 kg. Your legs and muscles get better the more hill training you accomplish. Hill Training is crucial because your lungs can't provide your muscles with enough oxygen at higher altitudes due to a lack of oxygen. Therefore, begin cardiovascular training, such as jogging and swimming, along with other workouts, if you want to successfully reach the Everest Base Camp by jeep and avoid upsetting fellow trekkers.

A common excuse given by people for not doing the Everest Base Camp trek by road is that they are too old. There is no set age restriction for those who are qualified to trek to Everest Base Camp (EBC) via road. There shouldn't be any difficulties for them on the journey if they are physically well enough to walk for hours. For your kind information, it has been reported that a 76-year-old and a 13-year-old have already succeeded in reaching the peak of Mt. Everest.
