Everest Base Camp Trek 10 Days FAQs

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.

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.

  • 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.

We do, however, strongly advise people with known heart, lungs or blood diseases to consult their doctor before trekking.

It is best to buy shoes and boots before arriving in Nepal, and to break them in before arriving for your trek.

  • A Lifetime of Memories on EBC trek 14 Days Trekrating star

    Bishnu and his team are extremely responsive, helpful, and friendly. They really care about our safety and making sure we have a good time. Do your research on the trek and come prepared with questions.

    We were a large group of 10 people and our guides, Raj Kumar and Ram Krishna, and team of porters took good care of us. They did a great job describing our itinerary every evening to prepare us for the next day and checking in on every individual to see how they are handling the trek and altitude as the days progressed. A few anecdotes that best describe the positive vibes of our guides were the first day we met Raj, he wore a shirt that said "Never Frown" and Ram's catchphrase for the trek was "it's going to be an easy day!". Needless to say there were many hearty laughs on the trek despite sometimes strenuous hiking days, bitterly cold weather, and traumatizing bathroom situations. We can't thank you enough for your hospitality!

    Nepal is prone is Murphy's Law -- inclement weather, overbooked lodging, and risk of altitude sickness can easily deter your original plans. Although the team are professionals and adept at adapting quickly to anything that might need to change, I highly recommend going into the trek with a flexible attitude and getting good traveler's insurance to account for additional costs due to unexpected changes/delays or medical issues.

  • Amazing Everest Base Camp Treckrating star

    i booked for the Everest Base Camp treck for from 9 of September to 22nd of September. first of all Bishnu the company's owner was very helpful and supportive. i reached out to him many months before the trip and he did give me all the advice i needed and answered all my questions as fast as possible.
    as i was coming alone i was a little bit anxious to feel lonely/get bored but this completely disappeared when i first met my guide Tilak!! since we first met Tilak made sure that i don't feel weird and made everything so i did feel comfortable and as time passed we became good friends and i ended up being happy of coming alone as it helped me build a stronger friendship with him!!! Tilak is also a Hiamlayas encyclopedia, as he literally knows the name of each mountain and any information regarding the said mountains. there wasn't a single question that he couldn't answer!!
    Also my porter Rupesh (a very tough guy) was very friendly and never complained about the weight of the bag, and it was nice chatting with him during the day as he always have good vibes!! both guys made sure that i felt comfortable and we really became good friends by the end of our journey.
    Also it's important to note how flexible the company is, as i was supposed to complete the treck in 12 days. however since i was a little bit faster we ended up finishing it in 10 days and the company made sure to re-arrange everything without me having to pay anything extra!!!
    to make it simple, everything was excellent 👌👌👌, would definitely recommend this to anyone
