Required Documents and Permits for Everest Base Camp & Kalapaththar Hike
The documents and permit you will require for organizing the trek to the EBC and the hike to Kala Patthar includes the following. These give legal rights to the trekking regions and also play a part in the preservation of the area.
First of all, to make this trip you definitely will need a TIMS(Trekkers’ Information Management System)card, which is obligatory for every trekker in Nepal. This card monitors the journeys of trekkers for security purposes and also the Overarching enforceable measure that guarantees the sustainable flow of tourism in the area. Another, to do the EBC trek, you need a Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit as the place lies in the Sagarmatha National Park. This permit is helpful to the park and its programs of conservation as well as enabling visitors to admire such views. If you begin from Lukla, you will also need a Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit which is a local government-authorized permit for the Khumbu area.
The requirements for foreigners to enter the country are a valid passport with at least six months of validity and a Nepal tourist visa. This visa can be availed upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport or even upon visiting the official website of the country before the journey. It is made easy now as when you book your trek with Overland Trek Nepal; all these permits will be processed and obtained on the Company side.
Which is best for the EBC Family trek, by road or flight to Lukla?
Road approach to Lukla (Everest Base camp Trek witrhout Flight) or flying directly to Lukla for the Everest Base Camp (EBC) family trek depends on the preferences of the family and their desire as well as the comfort level that is sought in a trekking adventure. All of these have the benefits of having kids around during the trekking expedition.
The quickest and easiest way to reach Lukla from which ‘base camp treks’ start is to fly. It takes approximately 30 minutes to fly from Kathmandu and it provides one spectacular view of the Himalayas. It cuts considerably on time used while in travel hence serving families with little time or children who cannot endure long-distance jeep rides. However, Lukla flights are fully dependent on the weather conditions and sometimes the flights may be postponed or canceled, which may prove a great inconvenience to you.
On the other hand, a drive from Kathmandu to Thamdanda by private Jeep and then a trek to Phakding provides quite an easy way to approach the whole area. The advantage here is that your family can adapt gradually to the high altitudes, making it safer and more comfortable for children to do so. It also offers scope to make a study of the rest of the Solu, which is historically and culturally very colorful along with physical beauty. Though it takes longer, like a 1day drive to Thamdanda, this journey is as adventurous and less stressful as the Lukla flight being postponed and canceled and the adventurous airstrip at Lukla.
For the family Trek, it is perhaps best to adopt a combination of these strategies. You could start driving if you preferred to acclimatize better and if you wanted to save time you could fly back from Lukla. Overland Trek Nepal has interesting and unique treks that when undertaken with your family are made safe and enjoyable by experienced guides who accommodate the family’s pace to provide a comfortable trekking experience.
Physical Fitness & Preparation for EBC family and kids trek.
The EBC with family & kids is indeed a fulfilling experience, but it is highly recommended that one should not take up the trek unless or until one is physically fit to take up the challenge. For this family trekkers, aspects, such as endurance, strength, and mental health should be targeted concerning the ground as it is a long day trek and involves a variation in altitude and weather patterns.
Physical training should start early, 2-3 months before the trek. Perform activities such as jogging, walking, cycling, or swimming to increase cardio endurance. It is preferred if done on inclined terrains; this is because it approximates the terrain of the EBC trek. So, simple exercises like vigorous walking or small hikes around the neighborhood are good enough to familiarize children with long-distance walking.
Strength training is also as important as the cardiovascular one. Some of the simple exercises include squats, lunges, and step-ups; which assist in building strength of the legs, which are the most affected organs during trekking. In the preparation process, for children, it is possible to make preparations funny, for example, climbing or playful hill strolls.
It is therefore important to acclimatize when it comes to survival in another nation. Ensure the pause during the tour to give the body a chance to acclimatize to increased altitude levels. It’s important to keep drinking water, eat good foods, and take regular breaks on the day of the trek. It means when you book with an experienced company like Overland Trek Nepal, We will take care of pacing it properly, you will have a proper guide, and you are a family, so instead of making it even more risky for you, you’ll be more safe and comfortable while doing it.

What should we know before trek about Cultural & Ethical Considerations?
Cultural and ethical sensitivity is very important before making a trip to the 16- days Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek together with the family and kids. The trek takes you through the geographical and cultural center of the Sherpa people whose impact gives meaning to your trek.
Respecting Local Customs
Religiously, the Everest region is dominated by the Buddhist people. In terms of geomancy, you will meet monasteries, prayer wheels, Chotchen, instructional mani stones, and prayer flags during the gorge trail. Clockwise circulation around these prayer wheels and mani stones must be respected as a sign of a Circular clockwise Circumambulation. There is etiquette when going into a monastery, you remove your shoes and should not have your feet facing the altar. Ensure the kids watch these customs and make the trek an educational one.
Greetings and Interaction
People commonly use “Tashi Delek”, and ‘Namaste’ as how to address a stranger or a stranger interjects himself into action as a friendly gesture of folding hands. Teach children to respond in kind to the greeting which has been given to them. Treat the cultural bearers politely and prime concern about their lifestyle. It is wrong to take pictures of persons, products, or religious places without first seeking permission.
Ethical Trekking Practices
This means that maintaining the integrity of the Himalayas environment is a task for all of us. Replace the disposable water bottles, and opt for a reusable one. This means this time throw anything you don’t want anywhere away and pack out non-recyclable or biodegradable objects. As will be evidenced throughout this document, Overland Trek Nepal is committed to eco-friendly trekking.
Teaching Kids About Culture
The EBC trek gives families the ability to get a taste of Sherpa culture. Post articles with references to the fact that Buddhism is a part of life; yaks; and traditions of the given region.

Safety Tips to follow during the Everest Trek to avoid altitude sickness for Kids
Acute mountain sickness is a common threat that may affect hikers when on high-altitude EBC trekking. This requires extra time because as soon as you reach some elevation, the level of oxygen in the environment is lower. For your safety and the enjoyment of the family when on the trek, you need to abide by some measures and preventive measures for altitude sickness.
Gradual Ascent
In preventing altitude sickness it is advisable to go higher gradually, this we have seen is one of the most efficient ways of preventing it. Overland Trek Nepal would help you plan your days’ activities to include rest days to afford your body ample time to acclimatize to high-altitude climbs. Never extend your capacity for climbing by raising the altitude to a level you have never reached before. It becomes necessary to give adults as well as children the chance to relax get ready and proceed to the next level.
Stay Hydrated
There is another type of altitude sickness that is closely related to dehydration. Ensure you are well hydrated before and during the trekking exercise and this does not require telling you to quench your throat at every given moment. Consider having with you a refillable water bottle, or even better a hydration pack so that you do not struggle with a full water bottle. You should know that water is the main medication for high altitude sickness so minimum we should drink water 5 ltr per day. Do not drink alcohol and take too much caffeine, they cause dryness of the mouth.
Take Rest Days
Acclimatization is often called for when it comes to rest days. Overland Trek Nepal has a plan for you to spend an extra day in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, where one spends an additional day or two acclimatizing to the higher altitude.
Eat Well
Eat a balanced diet with dense-calorie foods to be sure that your body has the energy it needs. There are hundreds of choices and it doesn’t hurt to go for lots of carbohydrates, good protein, and fats to have enough energy for the trek. Overland Trek Nepal ensures that the family gets foods that would make them strong along the trek.
Know the Symptoms
Altitude sickness is characterized by symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Get to know these signs and remember to report to the guide in case any member of the family feels unwell. People should not underestimate their symptoms.
Medications
Some drugs are effective in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of altitude sickness. Overland Trek Nepal sometimes suggests using Diamox/ Acetazolamide or any other medication which is better to be had only after consulting a doctor.
Rest and Listen to Your Body
If you or your kids become unwell check what they need and how they want you to help them. Take a break, take a nap, or come down if needed. The best rule is to listen to your body because ceasing ascent at the first sign and descending can be a matter of life and death if a person develops HAPEorHACE.
If these measures are taken properly there are minimum risks of altitude sickness and hence; you and your family will be able to have a joyful and safer Everest base camp trek. The professional guides at Overland Trek Nepal will always ensure that everyone in your family is okay and healthy during the trekking adventure.
Internet & Electricity Facility during Everest Base Camp Trek
Internet and electricity can be found at certain points during the EBC trek but here are some things to consider when trekking in the Himalayas.
Internet and electricity are widely available in almost all the teahouses that are in the EBC trek though, most of them use solar power or mini hydroelectric stations mostly on higher altitudes. In some of the more remote locations, electricity is available only in the evening or early morning and only for a few hours.
In teahouses, electricity is mostly utilized to power lighting; apart from charging your electricity-using devices such as phones or cameras, they usually charge extra fees for the services. Most charging is done in the chem pits which are mostly found in the middle of the trail whereby the power availability reduces as you advance up the trail. Because of this, it is recommended that visitors should carry an extra battery charger in a small bag to charge their portable devices during longer days on the trek.
Internet connectivity is present in most of the villages and teahouses, though the connection is often slower than might be experienced in the urban setting. Teahouse proprietors may charge a fee for using the Wi-Fi, and you will find in some places the connection could be slow, non-existent, or weak, as you ascend higher toward the Himalayas. Sometimes, mobile data connection can be possible which again depends on the service provider and the area of operation. If maintaining communication is imperative during the trek, you should let Overland Trek Nepal know of your needs before the trek. We can help you with the accessibility of internet connection and advise for any need of communication. Even you can buy a portable Everest wifi card or Data from Ncell & NTC.
- Advisable For Kids and Families
When traveling with children, it is recommended to pack additional portable charging devices since children might have to use them during prolonged trekking. You may also need to use it for other purposes than getting internet instead, you need to spend quality time with your family. Therefore, to sum up, electricity as well as internet connectivity is doable during the EBC trek but it reach of these amenities is limited depending on the place and the day. By taking care of those pet peeves, such as carrying your power bank and being ready that there will be gaps in the internet connection, you will guarantee yourself an adventure that’s all about the experience, not about having to find a signal. Tea House Trekking is also possible in Nepal and Overland Trek Nepal can assist in giving further details of the available facilities of some of the teahouses along the trail to be taken.
