The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is the nerviest way to start the EBC Trek. Flying above the green hills and through the gorge is always nerve-racking. Moreover, landing on a small runaway at 2800 meters above sea level is not easy. However, the views from the plane for 45 minutes it outstanding.
Sagarmatha National Park begins from the Monjo Village. The national park goes all the way to base camp and beyond it. During the trek, several flora and fauna await you to welcome. The trail passes through rhododendron, Juniper, Pine, and Birch forests. Likewise, animals like Himalayan Thar, Pheasant, etc. are on the way to greet you.

Sherpa villages and their culture are the major highlights of this trek. Private Everest Base Camp Trek goes through different Sherpa villages. The trek allows you to get close to Sherpa people and their culture. Similarly, Sherpa People follow the Buddhist religion which gives you enough time to know about Buddhism. You will get to see monasteries, chortens, mani walls, and prayer flags along the way. Tengboche Monastery is the largest monastery of all the monasteries. During the walk to Tengboche village, you will visit this monastery and pay homage to the monks.
Hike to EBC is the primary goal of this trek. However, to see the excellent 360-degree views of peaks, Hiking Kalapathhar is an ideal option. You can’t see the best views from the Base Camp. So, cherish the moment of magic with dazzling views of mountains from Kala Patthar. However, putting your footstep on the lap of the world’s highest mountain peak is a huge achievement.

Everest Base Camp Trek is moderate grade in terms of difficulties. However, it is an easy trek for regular trekkers and somewhat difficult for novices. Since the trek takes you to 5545 meters walking 6,7 hours a day, it requires good physical fitness. Moreover, the trail is steep, with ups and downs, and rugged terrain. So, you need to be well aware of walking on these trails.
Beginners with reasonably good fitness can successfully do this trek. Furthermore, it also depends on how many days you take to acclimatize your body. However, our guide is with you reminding you to make regular stops for proper rest and hydration. In addition, our guide staff is well first aid trained and know how to deal with emergencies. So, how to prepare for the EBC Trek? Regular fitness exercises, small hiking, quality trekking gear, and acclimatization are the best ways to prepare for this trek.
Altitude sickness while walking in the high altitudes is common. However, you should not avoid it. Rather, safety measures need to be followed. Everest Base Camp Trek is not an easy walk in high altitude. You can expect the symptoms of sickness after passing 4000 meters. Therefore, here are some tips to avoid the sickness during a Private Everest Base Camp Trek:
Trekking in Nepal without proper packing and gear is nearly impossible. We aim to give you the best trekking experience assuring you carry the necessary gear. Please, check out the Everest Base Camp Trek packing list and make your packing easy.
Note: The above lists are the common gear you need for the trek. However, the gear also depends on which season are you trekking. Consult with our trekking expert to know more about trekking gear.

However, you have to pay extra costs for those kinds of facilities in some places.
There is internet service in most of the tea houses for a small cost. Even if you buy SIM cards for the internet service, it may not work well. Wi-Fi at the tea houses is for contacting your loved ones. You can expect some Wi-Fi disturbance in high altitudes.
Hiking to EBC at high altitude requires a lot of energy and strength. Hence, your day always starts with seasonal fruits provided by Overland Trek Nepal. Apart from that, you will get the food menu set by Khumbu Region. Most of the meals are Nepalese and Western cuisine on the menu. We recommend you choose vegetarian meals. Encouraging nutritious food that gives you enough stamina throughout the trek. Moreover, focus on drinking green tea, lemon tea, hot lemon, ginger tea, etc. to fill up your body with water. We do not recommend drinking alcoholic beverages.

We had done 15 days EBC trek and from my arrival in Nepal to the end Mr. Gautam’s team’s commitment to customer service was fabulous, outstanding, Historical. Mr. Gautam is an amazing person I have never met like this person in my life. Since we communicate with each other by email I have felt that. When I arrive in Nepal, he has arranged a PCR test at Alpine Hotel and Apartment which was required for the EBC trek. The EBC trek was the most challenging & rewarding trip we have ever done. Our trekking Guide, Tika, and Porter Dhurba both went above the beyond to make sure we were excellent from everything. he genuinely cared for our group. The accommodations, food, gear, our fitness for the trek, etc all above my expectations. We always felt safe and immensely enjoyed our EBC trek experience due to their service, guidance, expertise, and professionalism.
