How safe is Everest Base Camp Trek?

This is another concern topic for the trekkers while planning the EBC journey. Every year, thousands of trekkers traveled to the Everest base camp. And 90% of them succeed in completing their journey without any issues. About 10% of travelers are not able to complete the trek because of their health issues. Therefore, it is often risk-free and doable for all hikers. There is no risk of avalanches and landslides on this trek. Travelers have given the tagline of a dangerous airport in the world for Lukla airport because of its inaccessible location. However, Lukla flights are also safer as well. In recent days, the trail to the Everest base camp is well constructed. During the peak season, it is filled with international travelers. The most difficult aspect of this hike is likely altitude sickness. Thus, you must make the proper preparations before the expedition. Do some internet research or consult with Himalayan experts for advice on the right equipment, a well-prepared itinerary, and training beforehand. Our 12-day schedule includes adequate time for two days of acclimatization in Namche and Dingboche. You just need to be in good physical and mental health. Eat wisely, drink plenty of fluids and take enough rest during the trek. Avoid smoking and alcoholic drinks while you are on a higher altitude trip.

What the trip is look like?

The Everest Base Camp trail offers a captivating trekking experience amid breathtaking Himalayan landscapes, but also challenging as well. The route’s difficulty varies from moderate to strenuous, demanding good physical fitness and adaptability to high altitudes. Trekkers navigate through diverse terrains, including forests, suspension bridges, and rugged paths. Most of days, you will hike between 10,000 feet and 16,000 feet elevation during this trek. And the highest point of this trek is Kala Patthar i.e. 18365 feet. Altitude acclimatization is crucial to avoid altitude sickness. Weather conditions fluctuate, ranging from clear skies to snowfall. Trail conditions are often rough, not the well-maintained switchbacks you may be accustomed to, and there is a good bit of up-and-down (often 2,000- to 3,000-foot gain or loss in elevation per day). And the teahouses’ accommodations on this trail are basic yet optimum. Any expedition that involves going to distant wilderness areas is inherently dangerous, especially if it involves ascending to a high altitude. These risks range from rock falls to the potential for a major fall, injury, or illness without access to quick evacuation, medical supplies, or proper medical care once it is offered. Although our trek leader and support team are seasoned veterans of the Nepal Himalayas, a successful trip depends on the cooperation and adaptability of each participant. Overall, the Everest Base Camp trail presents an exhilarating challenge that rewards adventurers with unparalleled views and a sense of accomplishment amidst the world’s tallest peaks.

What would be the average temperature and weather condition on this trek?

How often Lukla flights get cancelled?

Actually, Lukla’s flights depend on the weather. Lukla Airport is situated at an elevation above 2,800 meters and is surrounded by high hills and mountains. Therefore, it is tough to take land on the ground if the weather is inclement. In the months of March, April, May, October, November, and December flights runs smoothly as the weather in these months will be pleasant and clear. Mostly, Lukla flights get canceled in the monsoon months which are June, July, and August.

Lukla flights Diversion

Since 2019, flights to Lukla are operating from Manthali airport during the peak trekking seasons due to air traffic at Tribhuvan International airport (TIA) in Kathmandu. These peak hiking months are April and May in spring and October and November in the autumn.

This is because both domestic and international airports are situated in the same place with only one runway and an approach system such that international flights get first priority. This initiation has eliminated the diversion or delays of flights to Lukla airport.

On the other hand, the majority of domestic flights to the mountain region are operated in the morning due to better weather conditions. This situation causes further air traffic in TIA. Therefore, Manthali airport is the consequence of the TIA air traffic.

Manthali airport is situated in Ramechhap district. It is in the east of Kathmandu valley and 132 km away, which assures a smooth and secure journey to the mesmerizing corner of the Himalayas. However, this diversion may add 5 hours’ drive from Kathmandu.

After a brief welcome ceremony at the airport in Kathmandu with garland or flower, you will be transferred to the respective hotel in a private vehicle (according to the group size – jeep/car/bus/van). All the trip details will be finalized at the hotel.

Accommodations

City accommodation is according to the agreed plan. However, our Everest Base Camp Trek 14 Days includes 2 nights accommodation in Kathmandu at 3 star rated or similar category hotel on BB basis.

Accommodation during trekking is in the tea house or lodge on sharing basis. If you wish to upgrade the lodging facilities, then you may have to pay extra. Upgraded lodging amenities include private room with an attached bathroom, and heated mattress or blankets. Please note that the package includes basic accommodation facilities and for luxury lodging you may have to consult with our travel planners. Our travel planners will pre book in these luxury mountain lodges in the Everest Base Camp Trek route.

Additional amenities like WIFI, hot showers, and battery charging are available in almost all tea houses. These services are not included in this package and you have to pay extra for these services.

Meals on the trek

Full board meals are included in this package on the trek. You can order food items from a’ la carte menu. The package includes single food item from the menu during lunch and dinner whereas you can order the set breakfast from the menu.

Vegetarian soupy and starchy foods are highly recommended during the trek. Dal Bhat is an ideal choice for Everest Trekking. Please avoid greasy foods, alcohol, and caffeine while on the trek. Meat items are not fresh in the high – altitude places as butchering is prohibited above Lukla. All meat items have to be carried by the porters which may not be hygienic. Avoid smoking as it may deteriorate your cardio – vascular abilities.

Extra luggage in Kathmandu

Essential light packing is highly encouraged. Your excess luggage will be kept in the Kathmandu Hotel or at the Glorious Himalaya office without any additional charges. You can collect your luggage after the trek.

Local currency exchange

You can bring your country currency (only if allowed in Nepal that are USD, GBP, AUD, CAD etc) and exchange here in Nepal. There are currency exchange counters at the airport but you may not get good rates inside. However, there are many exchange centers around your hotel where you can get local currencies. Our trekking guide can help you find the exchange center where you can get good rates or you can explore yourself upon arrival.

Drinking water on the trek

Bottled mineral water is available in all the tea houses, eateries, and shops in the trekking route. It may costs you around 2 $ to 5 $ per liter. Boiling water is also best option for drinking which you can get in tea house which costs you around 1 $ to 2 $ per liter.

Buy a water bottle in Kathmandu which you can refill during the trek. It is both eco – friendly and cheaper. You can simply get the natural spring water for free and use the water purifying tablets.

Communications and electricity on the trek

There is an internet access throughout the trekking trail where you can use WIFI services upon payment. Get NTC or NCELL SIM cards in Kathmandu and buy the internet package before the trek. Please note that the internet speed of NTC or NCELL DATA may not function smoothly as the tea house WIFI.

Our trekking guide is always connected with our city office throughout the trek. Therefore, you can use his or her internet in case of emergencies.

Electricity is available throughout the trekking trail. However, you have to pay for battery charge above Lukla. In places like Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, you can get free WIFI and free battery charge if you visit the local café.

Travel Insurance for EBC Trek

Your personal insurance is not included in this trekking package. All our trekking staffs are insured by the office. The journey of the Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the thrilling trips up in the high altitude places. Therefore, getting a travel insurance before the trek is highly recommended. Make sure that your insurance plan includes accidents, medical expenses, helicopter rescue from places up to 6000 m, and delays.

Leave the copy of your travel insurance in our city office. Our office representative can act promptly according to the plan during emergencies.

Personal extra expenses

Prepare the extra budget (300 $ to 400 $) according to your spending pattern for 11 to 12 days of trek. You may have to spend extras on hot showers, battery charge, internet, bakery items, additional food items, beverages, etc.

Tips for guide and porters

Tipping is not mandatory in Nepal but it is customarily expected. Generally, guides expect 150 $ minimum and porters expect 100 $ minimum for the whole trip. You can tip your trekking crew members as per your liking and the level of their services.

Contingency days for Lukla flight delays

Always allocate 1 or 2 days as reserve days for the Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary. The major reason behind this is the unpredictable weather conditions of mountain region. It is to make sure that your return flight schedule is not hampered due to sudden delays.

Lukla Flights run in very short flight window which depend heavily on weather conditions. Sometimes flights may not happen for some days straight. Therefore, you need to be mentally prepared for these kinds of unforeseen events which are beyond our control. Please note that we always try honestly to operate trekking trips without interruptions.

Weight limit for porter carry

If you hire porters for the trek, you will meet them at Lukla airport and they will carry all of your belongings throughout the journey. Maximum weight that a porter carries during the trek is about 25 kilograms. Therefore, pack only the essentials. Our 1 porter will carry the stuff of two customers which means each customer should pack maximum 12.5 KGS.

Last minute bookings

We also accept last minute bookings in at least 24 hours before the trek. You have to make full payment for the last minute booking. Please note that the Lukla Flights are subject to availability and you may have to face 1 day delay in the trip if you make last minute booking.

Solo and private tours

We organize solo and private tours only. There are different cost structures according to the group size. We don’t add unknown travelers in private tours. Please consult with our travel planners for group discounts.
