Therefore, to offer the best service, Mountain Mart Treks (MMT) arranges the Everest Base Camp Trekking itinerary as per the recommendation of the trekkers. Most of the travelers and trekkers from all around the world frequently ask queries (FAQ) regarding the facilities of Everest Base Camp food drinks shower and WIFI facility on Everest Base Camp Trek. So, through this blog post, we have tried to disclose the amenities that trekkers get on the Everest Base Camp trek.
The Everest Base Camp Trek is a moderate to strenuous trek that burns calories, loses the nutrients and energy from the body. So, while trekking in the higher elevation, you must replenish nutrition by maintaining healthy habits and eating fresh-hygienic food. It is food that maintains nutrients in the body and provides energy for trekking in the Himalayas. The food must contain essential nutrients like carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamin, minerals. But, in the recent era, some people eat food for taste or to satisfy their appetizer. Therefore, we humbly request the trekkers to consume the food which gives energy to the body. MMT caters you 3-times meals a day of your choice during the entire EBC trek. The trekkers have the freedom to choose the food as per their appetite and taste. The guides provide you the menus of the tea houses/hotels and you can order the food as you prefer. For the vegetarians, MMT has arranged the VEGAN food in Everest Base Camp Trek. We even serve the Gluten free food in Everest Base Camp Trek for the trekkers who want to avoid Wheat, barley or any other gluten food. Besides that, our guides also serve you the fruits and other energy-giving perks regularly so that your body gets enough nutrients needed for trekking. While trekking in the Everest Region, you don’t need to worry about the food. You can crave your appetite with the delicious and your favorite Everest Base Camp Food on the Everest Base Camp tea houses. The tea houses at the gateway to Everest, Lukla, and tourists’ hub, Namche, serve international, continental, Nepali, and local Sherpa cuisine. Also, the local tea houses serve hygienic and local food that provides essential nutrients to the body. Always stick on the plan and Everest Base Camp Food guide for healthy and hygienic meals. MMT’s experts consult you to avoid meals like meats, dairy products, coffee, and alcoholic beverages that are unhygienic while trekking. The consumption of meat and other dairy products is unhygienic as it takes too much time for digestion and causes stomach inflammation. Besides, the Everest Region is a Buddhist territory and animal slaughtering is a sin here. MMT also requests all the trekkers to avoid non-veg items during the trek. Being humans, we need to preserve the ecosystem and spread love-respect to other creatures too.
Mountain Mart Treks offer several food choice in Everest Base Camp Trekking, majority trekkers stay vegetarian with egg and cheese. Everest Region is Buddhist territory and no butchering. Meat supply is not hygiene which can be cause of stomach sickness that fails Everest Base Camp summit. We also arrange special food for vegans, i.e. gluten free food and many more organic fresh vegetables locally harvested. There is even choice of vegan food while in Everest Base Camp Trek as per appetite and interest.
Trekking on the Everest Base Camp Trails for 7-8 hours a day causes dehydration. It may result in altitude sickness, muscle cramps, lethargy, headache, and short breath. Therefore, the MMT’s consultant and trekking experts advise the trekkers to drink more than 4 liters of water per day. Besides water, you can also drink hot fluids, soup, and noodles soup to keep yourself hydrated. But, drinking coffee and alcohol increases the risk of Acute Mountain Sickness. Keep abstaining from Alcohol and too much caffeine while trekking in the higher elevation. We provide you safe and clean chlorine tested drinking water as much as you want. The tea houses in the trail also offer hot water as well as filtered water. And for the trekking hours, you have to carry at least 2 water bottles of 1liter. If you prefer mineral water, you can also get bottled mineral water in the tea houses of the Everest Region. But, as we organize an eco-trekking, we advise all the trekkers to avoid bottled water as every year the Everest Base Camp is getting piled up by wastewater bottles and plastic wrappers. Your satisfaction is our prime concern. We offer you as per your desire. Most of the trekking companies get you paid for the clean drinking water on Everest Base Camp Trek. But, while trekking with MMT, you don’t need to worry about clean drinking water. We provide you clean chlorine-treated water or hot water or filtered water or sealed mineral water free of cost. It is compulsory to drink at least 4 liters of water per day to keep yourself hydrated. So, refuel your body regularly.
With the popularity of the Everest Base Camp Trek, many tea houses are opened in EBC Trails. The tea houses in the Everest Region offer you the best quality service and better facilities than the lodges in the big cities. Most of the tea houses in the Everest Region have twin rooms which means most of the rooms have two beds. The trekkers need to share the room with fellow trekkers. But, in the off trekking seasons, you can get a single room on a special request. The room at the tea houses are small yet clean and you will get every single facility.
Almost every tea house in the EBC Trails have attached toilets and bathroom with shower facility. The tea houses in the lower elevation have western flush toilets. But, in the higher region, some tea houses have western flush toilets, typical toilets with a manual flush, and traditional squat toilets too. Most of the trekkers in EBC Trek complain about the toilets. Some tea houses don’t maintain the cleanliness and standard of the toilets. Sometimes the attached bathrooms don’t have toilet paper and air freshener. But MMT guarantees you to arrange the room with the modern flush toilets.
Most of the trekkers prefer a shower to clean the sweat and to be fresh after tiresome high altitude Everest Base Camp Trek. The tea houses on the EBC Trails have installed gas geysers or solar geysers for the facilities of a hot shower. In some of the tea houses, you will get the facility of hot bucket water heated by the fire too. Most of the tea houses make you pay for the hot shower. Taking shower after sweaty long trek makes you fresh and relaxed. But, in the higher elevation, there is a possible risk of Hypothermia if your cold body immediately comes in contact with hot water. So, MMT’s consultants suggest our clients not to have a hot shower above 4,500m. Instead, sponge wash can be a better option to clean the sweat and dirt of the body.
The tea houses at Lukla, Namche, Phakding, and Tengboche have the proper facility of electricity. But beyond that, you can find solar electricity at Pheriche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep. Most of the tea houses in the trails don’t have a power socket in the room. There is a common socket in the living room and you have to pay some price to charge your mobile or any other gadgets. There are few tea houses that facilitate charging at the room without taking costs. But almost every tea houses in the higher elevation charge you an extra amount for charging your device. To save the extra expenses while trekking in the Everest Region, you can carry your own portable solar charger. You can also have a power bank or extra batteries for your gadgets. Depending on the charger at the tea houses can sometimes be a foolish decision as you have to wait in a queue to get your gadgets charged. You also have to guard your gadgets and accessories while charging at the tea houses as there is a risk of getting theft or misplaced.
Life has been different after the introduction of the internet. We can easily get connected with our friends and family through the internet although we are far from them. While trekking in Nepal, you can buy a 3G-4G sim card of NTC or N-Cell at superstore Thamel. The 3G-4G sim card easily gets connected up to Namche. But, beyond that, the 3G-4G sim-card may not work properly. You can purchase the Wi-fi card to get easy Internet Access on Everest Base Camp Trek. The Wifi card is easily available at Namche and the price of the sim card and wifi card is cheap and affordable too. Almost every tea house in the Everest Base Camp Trails has internet access and you can use the wifi/internet by paying some amount. There are numerous places in EBC Trekking trails where we can get a free WIFI connection. But, the wifi at the tea houses may be slower as there are many internet users using the internet at the same time. So, the better option for you is to buy a sim card and the wifi card while trekking in the Himalayas. The wifi card has greater internet speed and you can easily upload the photos on the social sites from the Everest Base Camp.
