Everest Base Camp Trek 11 Days FAQs

  • Trekking requires lots of willpower, tolerance of harsh conditions and reasonable fitness, good health and physical condition. It is vital that participants with pre-existing medical problems or conditions make these known to the time of booking. But trekking is not the climbing trip so no needs any technical experience. 

  • There is no particular age limit for trekking in Nepal Himalaya at all. Anyone with outdoor attitude and passion for walking are fit for trekking. But, you are expected to have good physical fitness, positive attitude and endurance. Having said that additional requirements depend on the type and nature of treks you choose. 

  • Nepal is, undoubtedly, a naturally beautiful country that enjoys pleasant weather round the year. We have main two seasons for trekking. The best months are September, October & November during the Autumn season and March, April & May during the spring season are consider as the best seasons for attempting trekking, although we do have departures during some other months as well because we would like to offer some opportunities for some people who can not make their holidays during Spring and Autumn. The best months has been defined due to their nature of best visibility and best weather condition other then. 

  • The government of Nepal no longer requires a trekking permit for Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, and some other regions; however, conservation permit or National park permits are required for these regions. There are few restricted trekking areas in Nepal, where trekking permits are required. Trekking permit is a special permission given to you by the Nepalese government to visit the restricted areas.

  • The duration of the trek depends on your interests and where you want to go. Generally, your trek can range from 6-7 days to month time or longer periods if you wish. Even the same trek can be done in a different duration for different trekkers depending on their wishes and interests on the route. 

  • In the Tea House trekking arrangement overnight halts with dinner and breakfast will be in Tea-Houses (Lodges) and lunches in local restaurants en-route. We will provide you with hygienic food prepared by our cook on the camping trek arrangements. Most of the cooks in the local teahouses are not well trained but have enough experience. If the group required our well-trained cooks with the crew even on the lodge trek we are more delighted to take with an additional cost.

  • In the trekking areas most lodges serve boiled and filtered water, which is generally safe, we suggest a drop of iodine for safe water. Make sure your water is boiled or treated with iodine. Iodine is 100% effective in killing water-borne bacteria. We strongly recommend however that you bring your own filter water bottle so that you will have convenient access to clean water at all times. And it will be possible to buy the bottle water also on the way.

  • Most of the trekking areas in Everest we get electricity. You can charge your camera batteries. 

  • Our guides are trained in first aid and can deal with most of the basic ailments that can occur during a trek. If an emergency occurs, professional help from a rescue organization will be needed. That is why every client should have their own emergency rescue and health insurance arranged before coming to Nepal. 

  • Altitude illness, AMS is a very unpredictable condition, but all of our guides are very experienced with the symptoms and treatment of AMS. Every time our guides are ready to help you. We do, however, strongly advise people with known heart, lungs or blood diseases to consult their doctor before trekking.

  • That depends on the type of trek. Shorter treks at low altitudes can be done in running shoes while longer, more demanding treks at high altitudes require sturdy trekking or hiking boots. It is best to buy shoes and boots before arriving in Nepal, and to break them in before arriving for your trek. 

  • While you traveling Himalayan country this is most essential to know what to bring with you and what are the essential clothing and equipments during the travel. For evening/night/morning use clothes, Sun Hat, casual warm cloth for day use, some pairs of good quality shocks. Apart from above please bring- slippers, suntan-lotions and trekkers personal medication.   Regarding personal equipment you need to bring with you a pair of well broken trek Boot, sleeping bag, down-Jacket, pullovers, neck scarves, etc.

  • Already planning my next trek with this companyrating star

    Oct 2024 • Solo

    What a beautiful trek. Everything the overview promised and more. In the 'additional information' on the company's website they forewarn you that while the tour is categorised as easy, they would put it in the moderate to difficult basket. I would agree. At 57 I'm older than the average trekker, and yes perhaps I was feeling my age a bit. Make sure you're fit.

    Guide Bishnu helped me a lot - a brilliant guide. He gave me tips on how to go the distance, how to pace it - going at a slow but steady pace with frequent little breaks. He told me he has done this trek hundreds of times and obviously knows it very well - right down to the fine details, eg. which hotel room to book, so that the client has a view of the mountains. Having done the trek many, many times hasn't dented his enthusiasm for it and for making sure the client is happy. With all the hotel bookings made for me in advance, everything ran like clockwork.

    A very professional company with good clear communication and prompt replies to queries. I'll be booking with them for my next trek.

  • everest base camp trek in septemberrating star

    We had a fantastic experience with Nepal Hiking Adventures and highly recommend this company to those researching a trek to Everest Base Camp. The owner Bishnu is very professional and responsive through WhatsApp which made booking very easy. The trek is great value for money, and we had excellent support from our guide Ram, and Sherpa Hemanta. Ram in particular made our trip very enjoyable, he went at a comfortable pace suitable for all members of the group, checked in with us all the time to make sure we were feeling well as we ascended and descended, and was really enjoyable company, a fun person to be around. Don’t hesitate to book with Nepal Hiking Adventures, highly recommended!

  • What a pleasurable and exciting experience I had.rating star

    I was planning for my first hiking trip to Nepal and the foremost trip was to visit the Everest Base Camp. A dear colleague of mine referred Nepal Everest base camp team, where Bishnu was to help organise the trip. Not going into too many details, I hired Bishnu and I must say his openness and facilitation took care of everything for me.
    Not knowing what to expect when I land in Kathmandu, I was taken care from the moment I exited the arrival terminal. Gore Sherpa was appointed as my guide and personal escort. He from that point on would not let me worry about any thing; dropping me at the hotel and picking up for Lukla flight, which got cancelled due to bad weather and then successfully landing in Lukla the next day, and then the whole trek. Gore was on top of everything, he made sure that I do not have to ask for anything. Breakfast, Lunch and dinner arrangements, room comfortability, having an extra blanket, carrying my stuff himself, everything was managed to perfection. He would match my pace at the trek and not once he had shown any single grin on his face.
    I would like to thank and strongly recommend Nepal Everest Base Camp  for a memorable hiking experience to all who are reading this review and also you should insist Gore to be your guide who will not only take care of you but would be a perfect companion in terms of history and conversations about the mountains, peaks and passes in Nepal.

    What a pleasurable and exciting experience I had.
