We propose that you practice 7 to 8 kilometers of walking or jogging six days a week, 15 minutes of Pranayama every day, and 10 to 15 minutes of climbing stairs for three to four months before the Everest base camp expedition begins. The trek requires a high level of stamina.

The hiking route is hard, and one must be sure that he or she will accept the challenge and accomplish the walk. Often, it is our mental ability that drives us to complete the Everest trekking journey. There are numerous overweight trekkers who have completed the trek. The hiking takes an average of 5-6 hours every day and lasts 11 days, therefore patience is required.

Yes, you can choose to exclude the porter service from your plan. However, we at We Ramblers recommend that you leave your luggage with a porter because carrying it while enjoying the hike is difficult. A high altitude trek, such as the Basecamp Mount Everest, requires a lot of energy to complete, and if you do not complete the journey due to a big luggage load, you will be disappointed at the end of the day.

The porters not only assist with luggage transportation, but they are also our most trusted allies when it comes to our protection during the Mount Everest Base Camp hike. Knowing the weather and route conditions, as well as who to contact for medical assistance if necessary, is essential for safety. If we are faced with an emergency, the porters are our best source of assistance.

Furthermore, the porters are residents in this area who have no other means of income and rely only on it for survival. You’ll be pleased to have a porter at the end of your trekking to Everest base camp.

There is no age limit for the Everest Base Camp trip; if you are physically fit, you can complete it. A child as young as eight years old travelled with us to Everest Base Camp, and of course, parents had to be present.

The Lukla airstrip is a small tabletop airfield with a short runway. Because of this, only small light planes fly to Lukla. When airlines fail to adhere to weather limitations, flying in this place becomes hazardous.

Nowadays, airport officials take flight safety very seriously, and they refuse to allow aircraft for the Everest base camp if the weather conditions along the entire route are inappropriate for flying. Airlines such as Yeti, Summit, and Sita adhere to safety protocols.

You may take a shower practically anywhere except Gorakshep during the Everest Base Camp trip. Every tea house has a good bathroom with hot water available. However, taking a hot shower is not recommended; once or twice over the time is alright, but taking a hot shower on a regular basis can cause fatigue.

Everest Base Camp requires substantial winter clothing with correct layering regardless of the season because it is always chilly there. Mount Everest trekking at lower altitudes, such as Lukla to Phakding or Phakding to Namche, can be done in light, warm clothing. After Namche market, the temperature drops, and you’ll need a decent jacket and windproof pants. After Shomare (the place before Dingboche), you’ll need proper thermal layering, including a down jacket, till you return to the same location.

During the Everest Base Camp tour, there will be proper commode toilets available throughout the trekking zone. It’s simple in the lower altitudes because there’s usually a tea house near your trail, but in the high altitudes, it’s tough to find a toilet along the trail unless you’re not at your target. For example, if you’re trekking from Dingboche to Thukla and Lobuche and need a nature break, you must venture into the wilderness. Similarly, when trekking between Lobuche Gorakshep and Gorakshep trek to Base Camp, you must stop behind a rock to answer nature’s call.

The regular stream water is free and can be collected from the tap at any tea houses and drink; it is the same as what the locals drink. To treat the water, add a water purifying tablet before consuming.

For a comfortable trek, you should carry 3 to 5 kg of weight. It will be tough to carry more than 5 kg of weight at high altitude. It’s not that you can’t carry your large bags while walking, but the weight prevents you from enjoying the journey. At the end of the day, it’s just another holiday, and if you can’t enjoy it because of the weight of your luggage on your back, it’s not worth it. During the Everest trek, we always recommend that you leave your heavy luggage with a porter and only take a small day pack when trekking.

Yes, you can complete the Everest Base Camp tour without training, but it will be challenging because the trek requires a good amount of stamina to complete.

The main risk associated with the Everest Base Camp trek is altitude sickness, thus you must fully acclimatize before arriving at the base camp. Many individuals who get sick on the EBC Trek do not take acclimatization seriously.

Liquor is the primary cause of altitude sickness during the trek; it causes dehydration, which is lethal in the hiking zone. Although alcohol is readily available everywhere, we always advise against consuming it. Once you have completed the trek and returned to Kathmandu, you can drink it to celebrate, but it is risky in the trekking zone.
