Trekkers are taking a short break on the way to the Everest base camp during the Everest base camp trek. It takes around 2-3 hours to the base camp to hike from Gorakshep, where you have accommodation because you do not have a place to sleep at the base camp. Trekkers who are on the Everest high passes and Everest base camp and Gokyo lakes trek also visit the base camp. The people, who do not have enough time to complete the regular itinerary of the Everest base camp trek, also can do it in 9 days, which is the Everest base camp helicopter trek. If you can not trek in the high Himalayan altitudes or do not have enough time for a long trek, you can visit directly the base camp on a helicopter from Kathmandu, which is a group joining Everest base camp helicopter tour.
