HOW DIFFICULT EVEREST BASE CAMP TREKKING ((DISTANCE)

Many people as daunting as the name(Mt Everest)  hear sounds, The Everest base camp trekking is not a difficult most the trek over 6 thousand meters. The trek requires no mountaineering skills and technical experience. It is basically a long walk at altitude.

Every day the trekkers walking 15km (average) SLOW DOWN YOUR PACE, You will be trekking,  rock and sometimes snowy landscape (Depending on altitude and season)

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME (EVEREST BASE CAMP TREKKING)

If you want to Everest base camp trekking in the Khumbu region and thinking when is the best time. We can say September to November and March to May then the critical issue in planning when to trek is the monsoon period which runs from June to August. During the monsoon period, there is still excellent trekking as these largely lie in a rain shadow. However, you need to be ready for serious rain; generally, this is confined to shorter storms in the afternoon. The period around Christmas and New Year is cold, but with good thermals, this can be a great time to trek as the trails are much quieter.

HOW DO YOU GET TO EVEREST BASE CAMP

There is only one entryway to EVEREST BASE CAMP and the Khumbu Region, through the mountain town of Lukla, fly a 40-minute flight into the mountains.   Glacier Adventure includes these domestic flights in the trip price. If trekkers are lucky and the weather is clear during flight, may be able to see Mt Everest.  The incredible journey through the Khumbu region is a wonderful acclimatization hike before you take on Everest base camp. All of our itineraries include two nights in Namche Bazaar and two nights in Dingboche on the way up the trail to EVEREST BASE CAMP.

Review

Dr Kannan Pethaperumal
Everest Base camp and Kalapathar Trek May 2013

 I have just returned from Everest Base camp Trek with Glacier Adventure Company owned by Mr. Tilak, it was memorable and unforgettable experience I had. My Tilak himself came as a guide for me because I was going alone. I was very happy the whole trek, thanks to Tilak and team and wish them to continue the same service.
