Mount Everest Base Camp Trekking, itinerary and cost
@ $1350 USD (full package)
Trekking to Everest Base Camp requires both physical preparedness and logistical planning. Hikers must be in good health and fitness, capable of enduring high altitudes and long days of walking. Adequate training beforehand, including cardiovascular exercise and strength training, is essential. Proper gear is crucial, including sturdy hiking boots, warm clothing, and high-altitude equipment like crampons and ice axes. Altitude sickness prevention measures, such as gradual acclimatization and hydration, are imperative. Permits are mandatory and it is highly recommended to hire a licensed guide for the trek. Additionally, travelers should be mentally prepared for the challenging terrain and unpredictable weather conditions of the Himalayas.
Sagarmatha situated in the Solu and Khumbu district is justifiably renowned, not only because it encompasses Mt. Everest, the world’s highest mountain (8850m), but also because of its exotic Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries, flora and fauna etc. After Everest Base Camp at an elevation of about 5430m, climb Kala Pattar, a 5555m lap on the southern flank of Pumori (7145m). From Kala Pattar there is a dramatically marvelous view of Mt. Everest after a few minutes ascend.
