When you reserve a Sleep at Base Camp on Everest Trek package in the spring, the peak climbing season, you may wake up in the middle of the night to the sight of climbers using just a headlamp to ascend the Ice Fall. The Everest Base Camp will be exclusively yours if you purchase the Overnight at Base Camp of Everest package during the post-monsoon season when there will only be the roar of the churning glacier below.
One of the top treks in the world, the Everest Base Camp trek is an adventure you won't soon forget. It becomes even more remarkable and one-of-a-kind when you get the chance to spend a night sleeping at Base Camp of Mount Everest. We have been able to organize tours to Sleep at Everest Base Camp every year since we were awarded the permits. Our Everest Base Camp trips currently have a 98% success record, and we are able to do this by staying three nights in the 3,440m Namche Bazaar.
Some of the most beautiful panoramas on earth may be found in the Sagarmatha National Park and the Everest Region. Beautiful vistas of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku, to name a few, will be one of your experiences. Before sleeping at Base Camp on Everest Trek, you will also visit Sherpa communities like Namche Bazaar, Pangbouche, and Dingbouche to experience the excellent hospitality on offer by these sincere people.
You cannot accomplish the sleeping at EBC trek without encountering difficulties, just as any journey has its highs and lows. It is far too difficult to hike in the Everest region since you will be traveling on some of the most difficult, slick, and dangerous paths while dealing with unfavorable weather. The least you can do is try to solve every issue or work to prevent problems from arising in the first place. It is challenging for trekkers who are unfamiliar with hiking and trekking to walk for about 6-7 hours each day at high altitudes. But when things are difficult, the strong must move forward.
It's difficult enough to walk across the tough trekking paths for such a long time in unsteady weather. And the right acclimation is essential. Getting some rest and preparing for the voyage ahead is usually best accomplished through sleep. Excellent sleep is a fantastic source of energy and activity. If your sleep is disrupted, you simply cannot continue the voyage. Similar to eating properly, getting enough sleep is essential if you wish to hike at higher altitudes in even the most unpredictable weather. Green Valley Nepal Treks has developed the Everest Base Camp Sleeping Trek as a novel trekking concept, keeping the value of sleep as the top priority for an amazing trekking experience.
