    The Everest base camp trek is a pretty challenging journey. It's a moderately long hike that leads to the highest mountain in the country. Therefore, travellers need more energy, and the trip is exhausting, including 6-8 hours. (approx.) walk on the rocky edges per day. It does not require any previous trekking hiking knowledge, but you need to be physically healthy and better if you exercise regularly. If you like to hike high up, this trip is for you.

    FAQs

    One of the most common questions asked is how difficult it is to go to Everest Base Camp. It's a common question. For people who are used to walking long distances with a loaded backpack, the hike could be relatively easy for them. For people who do not have access to the hills or are not used to hiking or exercising regularly, they will consider hard for this trip and will likely find it very difficult. The older it is, the more training is required.

    To date, we have traveled to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar more than 25 times and climbed to the top of Mount Everest. We and other members of our team have made the trip many times, but each time it's different! Proper travel training and preparation are crucial for your enjoyment, safety, and the success of the trip.
