Important Note

Walking in higher altitudes is more physically demanding than walking in the lower altitudes, however, if we are in excellent health with average physical fitness, have a positive attitude, self-confidence and strong determination, we can accomplish the trek successfully. Exercising and jogging regularly for some weeks prior to the trip is good idea to enhance our strength and stability. Past hiking experience would be an asset but no technical skill is required for this trip. It is important that we consult with our doctor before we decide and set up for the Everest Base camp trek. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases should inform Treks Planner Nepal before booking the trek.

Physical Condition and requirement

Additional info

We always recommend you to add supplement night/s in Kathmandu after your trek if possible. Because of bad weather, we could face the problem of domestic flights to/from Lukla delayed by few hours or canceled for a day or more. Very rarely, but it could happen even in the best trekking season. Better to come prepared rather than being sorry. If everything runs smoothly, you can always indulge yourself in other activities like sightseeing, river rafting, adventure activities, shopping, as you wish in that additional day.
