The ideal seasons for trekking to Everest Base Camp are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is generally stable, and trekkers can enjoy clear skies and moderate temperatures. Winter can be extremely cold, while the monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rainfall, making trekking conditions challenging.
While the Everest Base Camp Trek is accessible to trekkers of varying fitness levels, a moderate level of fitness is recommended. Training before your trek, such as hiking, walking, or engaging in cardiovascular exercises, will help you acclimatize and enjoy the journey. It's essential to be prepared for long days of walking on rugged terrain.
Preparation for the Everest Base Camp Trek involves physical training, gathering appropriate gear, and understanding the trekking route. We recommend investing in high-quality trekking boots, warm clothing, and sleeping bags suitable for high altitudes.

While it's possible to trek to Everest Base Camp independently, we strongly recommend hiring a guide and porter for safety and support. Our experienced guides at Himalayan Discovery Trek are well-versed in the region and can enhance your experience by sharing their knowledge of the culture and environment. A porter can help carry your gear, allowing you to focus on the trek itself.
During the trek, accommodations typically consist of tea houses, which provide basic yet comfortable lodging. Rooms are shared and usually feature twin beds. Most tea houses offer meals, and our guides can recommend places to eat that serve delicious local and international cuisine.
