You do not need to reach the summit of Mount Everest to revel in the Everest Himalayas and other natural attractions in the Khumbu Region of Nepal. As a trekker, you get the nearest view of the world's highest mountain and 360° views of the Everest Himalayas without hard physical stress or spending supremely expensive money.
This trek is not a luxurious tour of the mountain, so it is the adventure of your life. This beautiful Base Camp Trek in Nepal is a 12-day round trip from Kathmandu to Kathmandu, with two spare rest days for altitude adjustment along the way up.

Many overseas trekking agencies offer similar services to those at Everest Base Camp. Still, they all have to go through the Nepalese company. Booking the Base Camp Trek with a foreign agent is more expensive than going directly with a local company. Frolic Adventure is a local tour company in Nepal that arranges trekking trips to Everest Base Camp at a very reliable cost and is looking for service orientation.

What to expect while Trekking to Everest Base Camp
Everyone must expect something before traveling anywhere. Like other trekkers, you might also have some expectations during the EBC Trek in Nepal. At the beginning of the trip, you fly on a small twin-otter or Dornier aircraft to Lukla from Kathmandu or Ramechhap (Manthali) with a sensational mountain flight.
Once you land at the Lukla airport, you will know the rest of the Trekking crew besides the guide, who flies with you. After a short walking preparation at Lukla, you walk to Phakding for about three hours through the traditional Sherpa villages with stunning views of some snow-capped mountain peaks.
The second day is pretty tough because of the long ascent to Namche Bazaar (3440m). You enter the Sagarmatha National Park from Jorsalle today, seeing beautiful nature, birds, and animals. You have the first altitude practice, rest in Namche Bazaar, and hike to the Hotel Everest View during the Trek to Everest Base Camp. You see magnificent views of the high mountains every moment after you cross Namche Bazaar. You have the opportunity to visit the ancient historical Buddhist Monastery on Tengboche Hill and make offerings with the Monks. Besides the phenomenal mountain views, including the three highest mountains (Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu) above 8000 meters, you will be amazed at the green forest, attractive landscapes, valleys, rivers, waterfalls, Sherpa architecture, great hospitality, and more during your Trek to Everest Base Camp.

Trek to Everest Base Camp: Is this the right trip for you?
Trekking to Everest Base Camp is challenging, but almost everyone can succeed. However, walking at high altitudes with some weight on your back can make it difficult. Besides getting a rare, severe illness, if you are well prepared for it, the Trek to Everest Base Camp can be your best Himalayan experience. Young trekkers need less preparation than older trekkers, but they can still make it. Some older people are even more fit than young people if they do sports and hike often. Children's lungs are better at high altitudes compared to adults, but they might complain about cold temperatures. Children can also go on an Everest Base Camp Trip with warm equipment.
How do I prepare for Trekking to Everest Base Camp?
Trekking to Everest Base Camp is an adventure. Considering walking on high mountain altitudes with lots of ups and downs for 11 days carrying about 5–6 kg of weight of a daypack on your back for an average of 5–6 hours every day, it is better to gain your hiking ability a few months earlier before you Trek to Everest Base Camp. Start the exercise by jogging and walking a few kilometers daily to make the body flexible, and hike at least once a week on downhill trails with a backpack on. More hill-walking training is better, as is strengthening your legs and muscles and stretching.
Besides physical training, you must be well-prepared mentally, which is essential to preparing for a Trek to Everest Base Camp. Also, read helpful blog information about the Trek.
Trekking to Everest Base Camp: What sorts of difficulties may you face?
There can be several physical and technical difficulties before and during Trekking to Everest Base Camp. The first challenge is the weather conditions to fly to Lukla, so the weather can affect regular flights often. The flights can be delayed or canceled sometimes, even in the high seasons. Travel with a few extra days for these types of happenings. There are some alternate options to get into Lukla, which you may take.
Many hours of walking on uphill and downhill trails can tire you on the Trek, so take enough rest while walking. There are hundreds of trekkers daily, and we meet them on narrow surfaces and bridges. You might wait a few minutes to cross those places. Using bathrooms and battery charging may delay waiting turns because there are so many trekkers in guesthouses.
Walking at a high altitude is not easy, so some trekkers might get altitude sickness during the Trek when they reach above 4000 meters. Almost everyone feels the difference in height, but some suffer from acute mountain sickness. If you have uneasiness or some symptoms of altitude, do not hide it and inform the guide. Our guide suggests what to do and how to stay safe from heights on the Trek.
