Whether you are an experienced trekker or a novice traveler, you must train well before heading to EBC. Since you’ll be walking through rough and rocky trails for 12 days, it is advisable to engage in cardio activities at least 2 months prior to the trek. Prepare yourself and maintain your physical fitness with activities like swimming, hiking, cycling, and running.

To make your life easier, we are offering a complimentary mountain climbing training plan to all our clients, designed by Ryan Mex.

No oxygen needed, and altitude pills are not mandatory. As a rule of thumb when climbing at high altitude, acclimatization and gradual climbing are the golden rules. This minimizes the risk of altitude sickness and improves your chance of summiting. 

 Our experienced guides will be equipped with common altitude medications such as Diamox, should the need arise. 

The risk of AMS differs from person to person. Since you’ll be walking above 5000m, the risk factor will be present. However, our EBC itinerary is thoughtfully designed with proper acclimatization days to reduce the chances of altitude sickness.

In addition to that, all our guides are certified first-aid responders who will effectively monitor you and help you, if any symptoms arise.

It is recommended to trek at a slow and steady pace, instead of rushing to reach your destination. Most importantly, stay hydrated and drink as many fluids as possible to reduce the risk of AMS.

Mid- March to mid- May is the best time for EBC. These months are sunny most of the time which ensures mild climate and guaranteed views. Having said that, the weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, especially in the upper reaches of the trek. In worse scenarios, you might have to go through cold weather and snowy conditions on the higher altitudes. 

Yes, ofcourse. As long as you are in Kathmandu on the trip dates, you are free to arrive / leave whenever you want. It is best to let us know your plans so we can organize transfers accordingly.

Every trekker is required to make a travel insurance package which covers trekking up to 5500m, including helicopter rescue. This is an absolute must for any of our expeditions.

During the trek, you will be spending your nights at the local tea houses that offer the best facilities available. You will be accommodated in deluxe quality teahouses in every overnight stop. We strive to select the cleanest, coziest and most comfortable tea houses available, however it is worth noting that rooms are not luxurious like the hotels around the city area.

You will have full board meals throughout the whole duration of the trek. Our accommodations serve both Nepali as well as western cuisines, including but not limited to pizza, burgers, vegetables, fresh fruit, pasta, salads and grains. For every meal you can select any item from the menu, including one hot drink per meal.

Safe drinking water is provided for everyone. The tea houses on the trail provide safe drinking water. But, we do not recommend you to drink the water from local streams or natural sources. Make sure to carry a water bottle and ask your guide to fill the water in the teahouse. Also, it is better to carry water purifiers and tablets to treat the water for extra safety. You can also buy bottled water at all stages along the way.

As we climb higher and higher, yes it gets very cold. The climb takes us from tropical climates to alpine climates, with varying temperatures between +25C and -10C. Refer to our recommended Climbing and Equipment Gear list.

As per WHO suggestions, make sure you are up-to-date on all routine vaccines such as flu, tetanus, chickenpox and measles. All eligible travellers should be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines. It is recommended to have all shots of Hep A & Hep B, rabies and typhoid.

In Nepal the power plug sockets are of type C. Type C is the normal ‘2 round pins’,  also known as the standard “Euro” plug.

Yes, most teahouses in the Everest region have electricity and do provide charging facilities. However, since they are solar-powered, the charging stations are available only for small electronic devices, such as mobile phones, portable chargers, cameras, and battery packs.

Bear in mind that sometimes charging facilities come at an additional cost, depending on the teahouse. It ranges from 1-5euros, increasing as you go higher during the trek.

During trekking, it is recommended to bring power bank to charge your devices.
