What is Everest Base Camp Trek? - Our Top Tips for your EBC Trek 2022/23/24
What is Everest Base Camp Trek?
Your life is completely worthless if you don't know what is Everest Base Camp Trek. EBC Trek is once in a lifetime escapade that offers roller-coaster mountain flight, cerulean landscape, dazzling mountains or massifs, delicate culture or architecture; therefore, the demand of the trek is surging as high as Everest in the recent years. The number of trekkers on Everest trail is escalating haphazardly yet most of the trekkers don’t understand anything about trekking but join the trek team for fun or enjoyment which decreases the successful rating of EBC accomplishment.
Trekking is a diligent task that may be moderate to strenuously difficult. MMT offers numerous packages under Everest Region Trek. Every trek demands physical and mental ability to endure the pain and suffering on trails. Everest Base Camp Trek also demands an average level of fitness and can be accomplished by any novice to veteran trekkers.
EBC Trek difficulties and Mountain Mart Treks (MMT) handling
There come risks and hurdles in each and every step of our life. Challenges are the opportunities to rise above and to enjoy success.
“He who isn’t courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life”- Muhammad Ali
Long duration and distance:
EBC trek is normally 15-21 days trek and covers 130-140 Km distance from Lukla-EBC-Lukla. To complete the trek, one must walk for 6-7 hours a day in average. It’s not a big deal; we have seen some old, young, overweight trekkers who have successfully accomplished the trek.
Trekking doesn’t demand hare run. Slow and steady always wins the race should be the main mantra (slogan) of every trekker.
MMT fancy trekkers’ safety and satisfaction. We have hired 25+ years of experienced guides who have all the route knowledge of EBC trails. We have tailored the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour package for physically weak trekkers who want to experience Everest horizon but don’t want to suffer long tiresome walk.
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS):
Everest Base Camp commences from Kathmandu (1300m) and traces through the Sherpa settlements: Lukla (2,845m), Namche (3,440m), Dingboche (4,410m), Lobuche (4,940m), Gorakshep (5,164m) before ascending EBC (5,364m) and Kala Patthar (5,545m) summit. There is always a threat of AMS as you ascend higher above 3000-4000m altitude. Adopt certain precautions to avoid AMS: Always get well dehydrated; avoid alcoholic beverages or unhygienic food; proper acclimatization and rest after certain days trek.
MMT has a customized AMS friendly EBC Trek itinerary. As recommended by the expertise, we have also scheduled a proper acclimatization day. If any symptoms are seen, immediately consult with the health expertise or experienced guides for instant aid.
Climate:
The climate of the Everest Region is extreme. EBC Trek is possible in any season; however, Spring (March, April, May) and Autumn (September, October, November) seasons are recommended best seasons for trekking and mountaineering. Summer (June, July, August) in Nepal is the season of rainfall. Though the high regions are protected from over the rain shadow, the slippery-muddy trails and bugs (mosquito, leeches) in lower region make the trek irritating and itchy. In winter (December, January, February), the view of snowy peaks looks impressive from the lower part, but there will be heavy snowfall and snowy wind in higher elevation. Trekking in the best season is always the best solution.
MMT offers EBC Trek in any seasons and Monsoon season Trek under expertise guides and porters for the adventure lovers.
Accommodation and Amenities:
The Everest region is an isolated and undeveloped region due to bizarre land topography. There are limited hotels, lodges or tea houses in EBC Trails and very few are capable to provide modern amenities. During Pick Trekking Season, there will be a scarcity of dorms and trekkers have to manage or share the dorm with others too. Sometimes, they even spread out the tent and sleep inside sleeping bags in freezing outdoor.
MMT is best known as Everest Base Camp Trek specialist travel company. Trekkers' satisfaction and happiness are our prime concern. We book the fully accommodated lodges and manage the best amenities as per the trek scheduled. Visit our detail itinerary of EBC Trek for further details.

It’s a gloomy year for all of us. We express our heartfelt condolence to all the dead mountaineers who lost their life on Everest.
