Is this trip for me?
All our treks are carefully designed with proper acclimatization measures - comfortably paced walks and several acclimatization stops along the way. If you are a fit person with prior multiday trekking experience, the Everest Base Camp Trek is definitely for you!
The trails start off wide and eventually dwindle to rocky paths as you gain elevation. While the overall gradient is gradual, expect a few steep climbs, notably to Namche, Tengboche, and Kalapatthar. The average walking hours per day range between 5 to 7 hours. You will only be carrying a day bag as there will be porters to carry the rest of your stuff throughout the trek. For most of the trek, we stay at the most comfortable lodges with clean and comfortable rooms, except in Lobuche and Gorakshep.
