Our hiking leaders are qualified experts. When talking about their trip, our guests frequently remark on how much fun they had and how crucial their guide was to make it successful. Yes, our guides can speak English. Most of them start their careers as porters and work for 3 to 4 years before becoming trekking guides. Their English skills are based on real-world experience rather than formal education. While they are able to communicate effectively, please note that English is not their first language, so their fluency may not be on par with native speakers. They will also assist with communication, especially since many locals, like shopkeepers and teahouse hosts, may not speak English. The best time to trek to Everest base camp are autumn (Mid-September to November) and spring (March to early June). This trek is possible year-round, and we can organize it when it suits your schedule. However, we generally suggest doing this trek in the favorable seasons and keep away from rainstorm season (July and August). In cold months of January and February, the temperature can be a little harsh in the mountains. However, some prefer to travel during these months as it is less crowded given that you are well prepared with appropriate winter wear and other gears. Due to its tendency to be localized, the weather in the Everest region is challenging to forecast. You could see rain, fog, cold, or hot and sunny weather while trekking. It is best to be equipped to handle various weather situations. In the Everest region, nighttime temperatures are significantly lower than midday temperatures. In less than a day, the temperature can change from a high of 25°C (77°F) to a low of – 20°C (-4°F). The weather and temperature ranges are typically predictable based on the month and season, even though it might be challenging to predict what each day in the mountains will bring. Spring – March/April/May/June Despite being the busiest season, spring is perhaps the best time to visit the Everest region. Activities assisting the expedition teams take place in Everest Base Camp. The many varieties of blossoming trees should be visible, and the sky should be clear with stunning vistas. During springtime, the average temperature is 20°C (68°F), with a high of 25°C (77°F) during clear days and a low of – 15°C (5°F) overnight above 4000 meters. Monsoon season – July/August through Mid-September Since it rains heavily at elevations below 3500 meters, this season isn’t exactly ideal for travel in the Everest region. While it can occasionally be dry in areas above 4000 meters, it frequently rains so therefore not many people travel during this season. Trekking during the monsoon season has some advantages, such as a greater possibility of seeing waterfalls and the best opportunity to escape crowds. During the monsoon, the average temperature is 22°C (71.6°F), with a high of 30°C (86°F) during clear days and a low of- 5°C (23°F) overnight above 4000 meters. Autumn – End of September/October/November In the Everest region, autumn is equally as busy as spring. It is one of the best times to go, too. While the plants and trees are not in bloom, the sky is often clear, offering breathtaking vistas from almost every viewpoint. The average temperature in autumn is 17°C (62.6°F), with a high of 20°C (68°F) during clear days and a low of – 15°C (5°F) overnight above 4000 meters. Winter – December/January/February Due to fewer tourists, some people like winter travel. Even while the views are still beautiful, it can be cloudy, thus adding extra days is highly advised during this time. The average temperature is 10°C (50°F), with a high of 17°C (62.6°F) during clear days and a low of – 20°C (- 4°F) overnight above 4000 meters. The teahouses provide extra blankets for warmth at night. The temperature rating of the sleeping bags that we rent to trekkers is about -15 °C (5 °F). Also, our guides can obtain extra blankets if needed at the teahouses. Yes, it’s possible to hike to Kala Patthar before reaching Everest Base Camp to witness stunning sunsets. However, due to unpredictable mountain evening weather, the safer approach is to trek to Everest Base Camp first and then ascend to Kala Patthar early the following morning. Yes, you can obtain a Nepal visa upon your arrival at the airport. There are kiosks in the arrival hall that you use to complete the necessary forms.  The cost is USD 30 for a 15-day tourist visa, including numerous entries, or USD 50 and USD 125 for a 30-day or 90-day tourist visa including numerous entries respectively. You should carry cash (USD) with you to pay your visa fees quickly and easily, as digital payments are frequently unavailable. To save time, we recommend filling out the online visa application form in advance. Applying online 2 weeks before your arrival will expedite the process at the airport. For detailed guidelines, please refer to our blog titled Guidelines for Online Tourist Visa Form in Nepal . Our staff will be waiting for you outside the airport terminal with our signboard (Ace the Himalaya). You will be accompanied to a hotel in a private tourist vehicle. The process of obtaining a visa and collecting your baggage at Tribhuvan International Airport generally takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. This duration can vary depending on factors such as the time of day, the number of arriving flights, and the passenger volume. Yes, SIM cards are available for purchase at the airport from local telecom providers such as Ncell and Nepal Telecom (NTC). We recommend choosing Ncell for its extensive coverage. The SIM card counters are open 24 hours, you can buy a SIM card in the arrivals area after collecting your baggage. Please ensure you bring a passport-sized photo and a copy of your passport for the purchase. You can exchange currency at one of the money exchange counters in the arrivals area of Tribhuvan International Airport, which operate 24 hours a day. Alternatively, you can also exchange money at authorized exchange centers near your hotel, which are typically open during the day. Typically, USD 15 to 20 per person per day will be sufficient. This is to purchase water, tea/espresso, snacks, and hot showers in the mountains and for lunch or dinner in Kathmandu. Additionally, if you want to buy souvenirs or native Nepali goods, you can bring extra cash with you. Yes, you can use credit cards in Nepal, especially in major cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara. Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are widely accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and shops. However, please note that the use of a credit card may come with a fee to cover transaction charges. Nepalese Rupees cash is preferred to a credit card while trekking in the mountain region. Exchanging your cash into Nepali Rupees in Kathmandu before the beginning of the trek is ideal. This can be accomplished at the airport, at banks, or at your hotel. Please note the hotels will exchange up to about USD 100 for each transaction only. There are ATMs up to Namche Bazaar but can be unreliable. The currency exchange rate is better in Kathmandu. When you book, you must pay a 30% deposit to secure your itinerary. The remaining balance can be paid upon your arrival at Kathmandu or before arrival. US Dollars cash and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express) are accepted once in Nepal. Please note a 4% transaction fee will be added for all credit card transactions. You can make payments via US Dollars cash or credit card (Visa, Master, and American Express). A 4% transaction fee is added if paying with a credit card. Thus, we encourage you to pay with USD cash if you are planning to pay upon your arrival in Kathmandu. We prefer you pay with larger bills (USD 50 or 100).  Please note that the cash should not be older than 2009 and in good condition, as banks do not accept worn, torn, or crumpled bills. There are ATM and money exchange facilities almost every few meters in Thamel, where you will be staying in Kathmandu. So, you can easily use your cards to cash out limited sum of money to which a minimum charge is deducted by the ATM facility itself. You can easily exchange your foreign currencies in currency exchange centers for an exact rate.

If you’re curious about the specific challenges and preparation needed, check out our blog on Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty for more insights. The average walking speed for a reasonably fit person is 4 kilometers per hour. At higher elevations, it is highly recommended that you walk slowly to help with acclimatization. For Everest base camp trekking, you must prepare your body to walk over uneven, hilly landscapes while carrying a backpack. Walking at an incline, jogging, cycling, and going for long-distance hikes are all good ways to exercise. You should work out for at least one hour four to five times a week for at least two months before trekking. For more comprehensive tips and detailed insights on how to prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime journey, check out our blog: How to prepare for Everest Base Camp trek . Participants in good physical condition should be able to complete this trek. If you are not physically active, we advise starting an exercise regimen two months before the trek that includes at least an hour of walking at an incline, running, or biking four to five times a week. Incorporating hiking into your workouts is ideal. It is advised to speak with a doctor before making travel arrangements if you have any health conditions that could affect your ability to complete the trek. The weight limit for the Lukla flight is 15 kg (33 pounds), including your duffel bag and daypack. If your daypack weighs more than the allowed weight, you can pay an extra USD 2 to USD 5 per kilogram. Despite the extra pay, the baggage allowance is occasionally withheld. Therefore, we recommend you pack within the 15 kg weight limit. After making the deposit, one of our staff will email you for further information. We will require a copy of your passport photo page and your arrival/departure flight details. We will also provide you with additional trip information. Travel insurance is mandatory for our hiking itineraries. We require your policy have medical evacuation coverage for the maximum elevation of your itinerary.  Insurance may also cover additional costs in the event of a flight delay or cancellation caused by bad weather, medical costs, theft, loss, and damage to your items while traveling. Travel insurance can be obtained online by one of several travel insurance companies. Please note that insurance obtained from an airline at the time of booking your flight may not cover medical evacuation coverage. You can find the necessary items to pack for the trek on the Equipment Section of this trek. Gear and equipment can be bought or rented upon your arrival in Kathmandu. If you plan on buying or renting gear in Kathmandu, please allow extra time. Yes, we do provide sleeping bags or down jackets for rental costs of USD 35 each. Do let us know before initiating the trek and we shall provide items. You can view the photos of the gear at this link: Photos of the Gear . The sleeping bag weighs approximately 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs), while the down jacket weighs about 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs). We provide you with a free duffel bag of 70 to 80-liter capacity that our porters will carry. The maximum weight that porters can safely carry is 30kg, and each porter is assigned to two people. However, each porter carries a maximum of 25 kg/55 lbs in total during the trek period. Your duffel bag, which should weigh no more than 12.5 kg/27.56 lbs per client, will be carried by the porter throughout the trek. We suggest a 30 to 40-liter capacity daypack. Wider straps and hip belts are recommended to assist you in carrying weight evenly and reduce pain. Bring copies of your passport, insurance papers, and other essential items in your carry-on during your flight. If you need to take medications daily, keep them in your daypack with your other essential possessions.  You can store other non-trekking essentials in the office of Ace the Himalaya or at the hotel in Kathmandu. In Kathmandu, we use three-star hotels including breakfast. We use Hotel Thamel House, Hotel Jampa, or comparable-class lodging in Kathmandu. Teahouses with clean rooms are used during the trek. For further information see  Teahouses in the Everest region trek A private room in the teahouses and in Kathmandu can be guaranteed for an additional cost. Yes, private attached toilets are available in teahouses at Lukla, Phakding, and Namche Bazaar. In the remaining places along the trail, teahouses provide shared (common) toilet facilities. The Everest Base Camp trek package includes 2 nights’ accommodation in Kathmandu. In case of unforeseen circumstances such as flight cancellation, your health, or for any reason you decide to discontinue the trip and arrive early in Kathmandu then you will need extra accommodations in Kathmandu. The cost of the teahouses in the mountains is not equivalent to the cost of a hotel in Kathmandu.  In such cases, we will arrange your accommodations, but you will need to pay a supplemental charge. You can buy toilet paper in the guesthouses during the trek, but it can be expensive, so we suggest you bring some with you. You also need to bring personal items such as towels, soap, hand sanitizers, and so on. There are toilet facilities in the teahouses/lodges during the trek. Trekkers can also find private areas along the trail for emergencies. Multiple food choices are available in the guesthouses. Options include daal bhat (rice and lentil), bread, eggs, potatoes, noodles, soup, pasta, and pastries. We suggest eating vegetarian during the trip. You will find a great deal of garlic on the menu since it helps with acclimatization. Each meal includes one hot drink.  Hot drinks include coffee, hot chocolate, tea, and hot lemon drinks. You can purchase an additional hot drink or sometimes soda at your own expense. You can also purchase candy or cookies (crisps) at your own expense. Indeed, the guesthouses follow international guidelines while setting up the food and serve you clean, protected, and warm meals . Most of the teahouses in the mountains offer vegetarian meals. So, being a vegetarian is not a problem. Vegetarian meals are preferable to avoid food poisoning and indigestion. Natural spring water or tap water can be found along the trek and in guesthouses but must be treated. We use  Katadyn filters  or water purification tablets to purify the natural water sources to make them safe to drink. This way, it is sustainable and pocket friendly as you need not buy bottled mineral water. You must carry a water bottle that can hold both hot and cold water and a hydration pack. If the temperature drops too low for the Katadyn filter to function properly or if any technical issues occur,  it is recommended to buy boiled water from the teahouse to ensure safe drinking water on EBC as an alternative. Yes, teahouses do provide hot boiled water for an extra charge of USD 2 to 5 per liter. The cost varies and increases at higher altitudes. Yes, hot showers are available from Lukla up to Namche Bazaar for an additional cost. Some villages at higher elevation too might have shower availability. However, you can purchase a pail of warm water at higher elevations to bathe with. It is not recommended to take showers above the village of Dingboche to avoid sickness. Depending on the location, it will cost an additional USD 5 to USD 8 for each shower during the trip. Some teahouses provide laundry services in the Everest region for an extra charge. However, it’s not guaranteed that your clothes will dry on the same day. There is a possibility that you can wash your clothes yourself during acclimatization days in Namche and Dingboche. However, we recommend you pack enough clothes for your trek and do not rely on laundry services. Yes, you can charge your equipment during the trek for an additional cost. The cost will vary but is around USD 1-5 per charge. Two pins (type C) and three pins (type D) adaptors are highly recommended. Bring these adaptors or purchase them while you are in Kathmandu. We provide licensed trekking guides with fluent English. Our guides are certified by the Hotel Management and Tourism Center after receiving 45 days of training.

Along the trek, you’ll be assisted by our professional guides in recognizing and preventing altitude sickness. An important piece of equipment is your trekking boots. Invest in a durable and comfortable pair, preferably with water-proof lining. Boots that provide ankle support on rough ground and have stiff soles are recommended.

The flight to Lukla depends on the trekking season. During peak trekking seasons (March, April, May, October and November), the traffic in Kathmandu airport is congested so, the flight to Lukla may be from Manthali airport in the Ramechhap district. However, during the off-season, you can take a flight to Lukla directly from Kathmandu airport. You can reach Manthali airport by traveling in a shared tourist vehicle . The journey is about 5 to 6 hours (depending upon traffic) by road. Usually, the airline companies provide shuttle services at 3 am to get to Manthali airport, Ramechhap from Kathmandu (depending upon flight time). If airlines’ shuttle services are not available, Ace the Himalaya will arrange for a vehicle to Manthali airport. To catch your morning flight to Lukla, you will travel to Manthali early in the morning, between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM, from Kathmandu. The exact pickup time from your hotel will be provided during the pre-trek meeting (one day before your travel date). The return journey from Manthali to Kathmandu will remain like your outward journey. Generally, vehicles such as Toyota HiAce, Mahindra Scorpio, etc. are used for shuttle services between Kathmandu and Manthali. Even though the roads leading to Manthali are bumpy, sloping, and winding, the transportation options offered will be comfortable during the trip. The flight to Kathmandu from Lukla depends on the trekking season. Direct flight may not be possible during peak trekking season (March, April, May, October, and November) due to heavy air traffic in Kathmandu. Therefore, the flight arrives at the Manthali airport, Ramechhap. Bad weather conditions are the major reason for Lukla flight delay and cancellation. Other reasons can include congested air traffic at the Kathmandu Airport, staffing shortages, and other difficulties cause flight delays/cancellations. In the event that scheduled flight(s) to/from Lukla airport are canceled or delayed due to adverse weather conditions, making it necessary to ensure your trek departure or return, a chartered helicopter may be required, shared among up to five(5) passengers. While airplanes require a minimum of 5 km of visibility to operate, helicopters can fly in conditions with as little as 1.5 km of visibility, allowing them to operate in some weather conditions where airplanes cannot. Any expenses incurred for helicopter services will be the responsibility of the client(s) and are not covered by Ace the Himalaya. It is advisable to have a minimum of USD 550 per person (ONE WAY) readily available in case this situation arises. If you have comprehensive travel insurance, you may be able to claim these expenses later. We will provide you with the necessary documentation, including receipts and a letter from our company and the airlines, to facilitate your insurance claim process. Yes, you have the option to book a seat on a helicopter between Kathmandu and Lukla for an extra charge of USD 550 per person for a one-way flight. This price is in addition to the domestic plane flight which is included as part of your trip and the price is quoted on a 5-people sharing basis. A private helicopter can be reserved for an additional cost of USD 3,500 for one way in addition to the flight cost between Kathmandu and Lukla. Similarly, a helicopter charter from Manthali to Lukla costs an extra USD 3,000 for a one-way flight. The seat limit is five. Meaning you will be sharing the cost with your fellow passengers. Sometimes, if you are lucky, the cost can get cheaper if there are passengers from Ace the Himalaya sharing the cost for both ways. We can give more information at the time of booking. Assuming the five-passenger weight limit of 80kg and a baggage limit of 15kg each, with a captain on board, the helicopter carries 475 to 575 kg on a single helicopter flight.

Factors such as flight cancellation/delay, unfavorable weather, natural calamities, newly implemented government rules, political affairs, trekkers’ health condition, etc., are possible. Evaluating the situation’s possible solutions allow the trekking to resume as much as possible based on the best alternatives. In these times, we look for your cooperation and flexibility. **Adding two spare days after your trek is strongly advised.** Flights to and from Lukla are often delayed or canceled due to weather conditions, and these buffer days help avoid complications with your international travel plans. You also have options to customize this trip where you can add on a [sightseeing tour in Kathmandu](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/trip/day-tour-to-unesco-heritage-sites/), other adventure sports or day trips around the country before or after the trek.

We are a certified sustainable travel company that also endorses the idea of giving back to the community by participating in various philanthropic activities.

Do I need to plan extra days in case of delays? The best course of action is to add a day or two before and after your intended trek days in case of flight delays or cancellations. It also gives you time to buy clothing equipment and gear required before your trip. Please be aware that Ace the Himalaya is not responsible for any inconveniences or missed international flights resulting from unforeseen events like airport changes, flight delays or cancellations, etc. ### Is hiring a guide necessary even if I have trekking experience? You can hike to Everest Base Camp without a guide. A guide is there to assist you in going forward and making alternative plans and arrangements when unanticipated occurrences happen or when things get difficult. Our hiking leaders are qualified experts. When talking about their trip, our guests frequently remark on how much fun they had and how crucial their guide was to make it successful. ### Can the guide speak English? Yes, our guides can speak English. Most of them start their careers as porters and work for 3 to 4 years before becoming trekking guides. Their English skills are based on real-world experience rather than formal education. While they are able to communicate effectively, please note that English is not their first language, so their fluency may not be on par with native speakers. They will also assist with communication, especially since many locals, like shopkeepers and teahouse hosts, may not speak English. ### Everest Base Camp Weather and Temperature ### What is the best time to trek Everest Base Camp? The [best time to trek to Everest base camp](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/best-time-for-everest-base-camp-trek/) are autumn (Mid-September to November) and spring (March to early June). This trek is possible year-round, and we can organize it when it suits your schedule. However, we generally suggest doing this trek in the favorable seasons and keep away from rainstorm season (July and August). In cold months of January and February, the temperature can be a little harsh in the mountains. However, some prefer to travel during these months as it is less crowded given that you are well prepared with appropriate winter wear and other gears. ### What kind of weather and temperature can I expect while trekking? Due to its tendency to be localized, the [weather in the Everest region](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/weather-and-temperature-in-everest-region/) is challenging to forecast. You could see rain, fog, cold, or hot and sunny weather while trekking. It is best to be equipped to handle various weather situations. In the Everest region, nighttime temperatures are significantly lower than midday temperatures. In less than a day, the temperature can change from a high of 25°C (77°F) to a low of – 20°C (-4°F). The weather and temperature ranges are typically predictable based on the month and season, even though it might be challenging to predict what each day in the mountains will bring. **Spring – March/April/May/June** Despite being the busiest season, spring is perhaps the best time to visit the Everest region. Activities assisting the expedition teams take place in Everest Base Camp. The many varieties of blossoming trees should be visible, and the sky should be clear with stunning vistas. During springtime, the average temperature is 20°C (68°F), with a high of 25°C (77°F) during clear days and a low of – 15°C (5°F) overnight above 4000 meters. **Monsoon season – July/August through Mid-September** Since it rains heavily at elevations below 3500 meters, this season isn’t exactly ideal for travel in the Everest region. While it can occasionally be dry in areas above 4000 meters, it frequently rains so therefore not many people travel during this season. Trekking during the monsoon season has some advantages, such as a greater possibility of seeing waterfalls and the best opportunity to escape crowds. During the monsoon, the average temperature is 22°C (71.6°F), with a high of 30°C (86°F) during clear days and a low of- 5°C (23°F) overnight above 4000 meters. **Autumn – End of September/October/November** In the Everest region, autumn is equally as busy as spring. It is one of the best times to go, too. While the plants and trees are not in bloom, the sky is often clear, offering breathtaking vistas from almost every viewpoint. The average temperature in autumn is 17°C (62.6°F), with a high of 20°C (68°F) during clear days and a low of – 15°C (5°F) overnight above 4000 meters. **Winter – December/January/February** Due to fewer tourists, some people like winter travel. Even while the views are still beautiful, it can be cloudy, thus adding extra days is highly advised during this time. The average temperature is 10°C (50°F), with a high of 17°C (62.6°F) during clear days and a low of – 20°C (- 4°F) overnight above 4000 meters. The teahouses provide extra blankets for warmth at night. ### What is the temperature rating of the sleeping bag that you lend to trekkers? The temperature rating of the sleeping bags that we rent to trekkers is about -15 °C (5 °F). Also, our guides can obtain extra blankets if needed at the teahouses. ### Can we hike to Kala Patthar first and then to Mount Everest Base Camp? Yes, it’s possible to hike to Kala Patthar before reaching Everest Base Camp to witness stunning sunsets. However, due to unpredictable mountain evening weather, the safer approach is to trek to Everest Base Camp first and then ascend to Kala Patthar early the following morning. ### Arrival and Visas ### Is it possible to obtain a visa for Nepal upon arrival at the airport? Yes, you can obtain a Nepal visa upon your arrival at the airport. There are kiosks in the arrival hall that you use to complete the necessary forms. The cost is USD 30 for a 15-day tourist visa, including numerous entries, or USD 50 and USD 125 for a 30-day or 90-day tourist visa including numerous entries respectively. You should carry cash (USD) with you to pay your visa fees quickly and easily, as digital payments are frequently unavailable. To save time, we recommend filling out the online visa application form in advance. Applying online 2 weeks before your arrival will expedite the process at the airport. For detailed guidelines, please refer to our blog titled [Guidelines for Online Tourist Visa Form in Nepal](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/guidelines-for-online-tourist-visa-form-in-nepal/). ### Who will come to pick me up at the airport upon my arrival? Our staff will be waiting for you outside the airport terminal with our signboard (Ace the Himalaya). You will be accompanied to a hotel in a private tourist vehicle. ### How long should I expect the visa process and baggage claim to take upon arrival at the airport? The process of obtaining a visa and collecting your baggage at Tribhuvan International Airport generally takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. This duration can vary depending on factors such as the time of day, the number of arriving flights, and the passenger volume. ### Can I buy a SIM card at the airport in Kathmandu? Yes, SIM cards are available for purchase at the airport from local telecom providers such as Ncell and Nepal Telecom (NTC). We recommend choosing Ncell for its extensive coverage. The SIM card counters are open 24 hours, you can buy a SIM card in the arrivals area after collecting your baggage. Please ensure you bring a passport-sized photo and a copy of your passport for the purchase. ### Where can I exchange money upon arrival in Nepal? You can exchange currency at one of the money exchange counters in the arrivals area of Tribhuvan International Airport, which operate 24 hours a day. Alternatively, you can also exchange money at authorized exchange centers near your hotel, which are typically open during the day. ### Everest Base Camp Trek Cost ### How much additional money do I need per day during EBC Trek? Typically, USD 15 to 20 per person per day will be sufficient. This is to purchase water, tea/espresso, snacks, and hot showers in the mountains and for lunch or dinner in Kathmandu. Additionally, if you want to buy souvenirs or native Nepali goods, you can bring extra cash with you. ### Can I use a credit card in Nepal? Yes, you can use credit cards in Nepal, especially in major cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara. Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are widely accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and shops. However, please note that the use of a credit card may come with a fee to cover transaction charges. ### Is it possible to use credit cards in the places I visit during the trek? Nepalese Rupees cash is preferred to a credit card while trekking in the mountain region. Exchanging your cash into Nepali Rupees in Kathmandu before the beginning of the trek is ideal. This can be accomplished at the airport, at banks, or at your hotel. Please note the hotels will exchange up to about USD 100 for each transaction only. There are ATMs up to Namche Bazaar but can be unreliable. The currency exchange rate is better in Kathmandu. ### Is it possible to reserve a trip now and pay a deposit later, or do I have to pay a deposit at booking/reservation? When you book, you must pay a 30% deposit to secure your itinerary. The remaining balance can be paid upon your arrival at Kathmandu or before arrival. US Dollars cash and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express) are accepted once in Nepal. Please note a 4% transaction fee will be added for all credit card transactions. ### How do I pay the remainder of my balance upon arrival in Kathmandu? US Dollars cash or credit card? You can make payments via US Dollars cash or credit card (Visa, Master, and American Express). A 4% transaction fee is added if paying with a credit card. Thus, we encourage you to pay with USD cash if you are planning to pay upon your arrival in Kathmandu. We prefer you pay with larger bills (USD 50 or 100). Please note that the cash **should not be older than 2009** and in good condition, as banks do not accept worn, torn, or crumpled bills. ### How are the ATM and money exchange facilities in Kathmandu? There are ATM and money exchange facilities almost every few meters in Thamel, where you will be staying in Kathmandu. So, you can easily use your cards to cash out limited sum of money to which a minimum charge is deducted by the ATM facility itself. You can easily exchange your foreign currencies in currency exchange centers for an exact rate. ### Who Can Trek? ### Do I need prior trekking experience?

At higher elevations, it is highly recommended that you walk slowly to help with acclimatization. ### What kind of physical training is necessary for EBC trek preparation? For Everest base camp trekking, you must prepare your body to walk over uneven, hilly landscapes while carrying a backpack. Walking at an incline, jogging, cycling, and going for long-distance hikes are all good ways to exercise.

In case of unforeseen circumstances such as flight cancellation, your health, or for any reason you decide to discontinue the trip and arrive early in Kathmandu then you will need extra accommodations in Kathmandu. The cost of the teahouses in the mountains is not equivalent to the cost of a hotel in Kathmandu. In such cases, we will arrange your accommodations, but you will need to pay a supplemental charge. ### Is it necessary to bring toilet paper for the trek? You can buy toilet paper in the guesthouses during the trek, but it can be expensive, so we suggest you bring some with you. You also need to bring personal items such as towels, soap, hand sanitizers, and so on. ### Are there restrooms along the trail? There are toilet facilities in the teahouses/lodges during the trek. Trekkers can also find private areas along the trail for emergencies. ### What sort of food can I expect in trekking? Multiple [food choices](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/food-in-everest-base-camp/) are available in the guesthouses. Options include [daal bhat](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/famous-five-nepali-food/) (rice and lentil), bread, eggs, potatoes, noodles, soup, pasta, and pastries. We suggest eating vegetarian during the trip. You will find a great deal of garlic on the menu since it helps with acclimatization. Each meal includes one hot drink. Hot drinks include coffee, hot chocolate, tea, and hot lemon drinks. You can purchase an additional hot drink or sometimes soda at your own expense. You can also purchase candy or cookies (crisps) at your own expense. ### Is the food in the mountains prepared to international standards in terms of safety? Indeed, the guesthouses follow international guidelines while setting up the food and serve you clean, protected, and warm meals**.** ### I'm a vegetarian. Is that a problem? Most of the teahouses in the mountains offer vegetarian meals. So, being a vegetarian is not a problem. Vegetarian meals are preferable to avoid food poisoning and indigestion. ### Is the water okay to drink? Do I need to bring purifying tablets or filters? Natural spring water or tap water can be found along the trek and in guesthouses but must be treated. We use [Katadyn filters](https://www.katadyngroup.com/us/en/brands/Katadyn~b4906/overview/listing) or water purification tablets to purify the natural water sources to make them safe to drink. This way, it is sustainable and pocket friendly as you need not buy bottled mineral water. You must carry a water bottle that can hold both hot and cold water and a hydration pack. If the temperature drops too low for the Katadyn filter to function properly or if any technical issues occur, it is recommended to buy boiled water from the teahouse to ensure [safe drinking water on EBC](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/drinking-water-on-the-everest-base-camp-trek/) as an alternative. ### Can we get hot or boiled drinking water? Does it cost extra? Yes, teahouses do provide hot boiled water for an extra charge of USD 2 to 5 per liter. The cost varies and increases at higher altitudes. ### Can I shower/bathe during EBC trek? Yes, hot showers are available from Lukla up to Namche Bazaar for an additional cost. Some villages at higher elevation too might have shower availability. However, you can purchase a pail of warm water at higher elevations to bathe with. It is not recommended to take showers above the village of Dingboche to avoid sickness. Depending on the location, it will cost an additional USD 5 to USD 8 for each shower during the trip. ### Are there any laundry services available on EBC trek? Some teahouses provide laundry services in the Everest region for an extra charge. However, it’s not guaranteed that your clothes will dry on the same day. There is a possibility that you can wash your clothes yourself during acclimatization days in Namche and Dingboche. However, we recommend you pack enough clothes for your trek and do not rely on laundry services. ### Can I charge my electronic equipment during the trek? Yes, you can charge your equipment during the trek for an additional cost. The cost will vary but is around USD 1-5 per charge. Two pins (type C) and three pins (type D) adaptors are highly recommended. Bring these adaptors or purchase them while you are in Kathmandu. ### Health and Safety ### Do your guides have the trekking guide certificates from the Hotel Management and Tourism Center? Have they received first aid training for high altitudes? We provide licensed trekking guides with fluent English. Our guides are certified by the Hotel Management and Tourism Center after receiving 45 days of training. Similarly, the guides receive high-altitude training from Kathmandu Environmental Education Project (KEEP). ### What are safety measures in place? What safety equipment do your guides carry on the trek to deal with sickness/accidents? Our guides are well trained and certified in first aid. Throughout the journey, our guides will evaluate your condition and your oxygen level using an oximeter. Our head office receives continuous updates on your condition and location through the guides. In places without a phone signal, your situation will be updated through a satellite phone during emergencies. ### How do you allocate guides and porters in a group? We allocate one guide for groups of up to 7 participants. For groups of over 7 participants, we allot an associate guide. As per the size of the group, we may add more guides or divide them into sub-groups. We provide one porter for every two clients. Two clients’ duffel bags will be carried by one porter. The weight limit is 25 kg (55 lbs) or 12.5 kg (27.56 lbs) for each client. For an additional cost, we can arrange for one porter to carry one participant’s duffel. ### Is Ace the Himalaya's staff insured? Our company insures all our trekking staff members, including guides, cooks, Sherpa, and porters. Please browse through our [legal docment page](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/company/legal-document/) to view insurance details. ### What vaccinations will I need? While no vaccinations are strictly mandatory for travel to Nepal, it is highly advisable to take precautionary measures to protect your health. To ensure a safe and enjoyable trip, we recommend the following vaccinations: Routine Vaccines, Malaria, Japanese Encephalitis, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid, Rabies, Cholera, etc. It is also helpful if you inform us of any medical condition that is relevant so we may convey this information in the event of an emergency. Ace the Himalaya keeps your medical condition confidential unless treatment is necessary. ### What if I am very sick in the mountain? Our guides are 24 hours available for the services during the trek. They are trained to use first aid kit and have knowledge to use Oxy meter. They are very much aware that higher the altitude the oxygen level gets lesser so to get updated on the oxygen level of our client and to know whether they are fit enough or needs extra precautions to continue. Guides carry local sim cards both Nepal Telecom and Ncell in order to update whereabouts and situation of our every client. During the time of emergency our guides are alert and keeps updated to head office in Kathmandu that is available 24 /7 to arranging from horse to mules or helicopters in the must needed cases especially when client is seriously sick in the mountain and needed to be hospitalized. ### Do you guys have a PAC (Portable Altitude Chamber)? Yes, we have access to a portable altitude chamber in case of an emergency. It is not essential to carry during the trek. Though, we can use arrange it upon request for an extra cost of USD 200. ### Do you provide oxygen supply if needed? Yes. Guesthouses at higher elevations such as Lobuche and Gorak Shep offer oxygen at an extra cost if needed. The cost of oxygen can be high so we recommend having travel insurance so they can reimburse you. We can also provide pre-booked oxygen for an extra cost of USD 200 for 1 tank that can be carried along with you during the trek starting from Namche to higher elevations. ### How are acclimatization and altitude related? Altitude sickness is a possibility during the EBC trek. Air at higher elevations has less oxygen available. To avoid altitude sickness, acclimatization days and slow climbs are recommended at higher elevations. Along the trek, you’ll be assisted by our professional guides in recognizing and preventing altitude sickness. ### What kind of trekking boot would be best for the trek? An important piece of equipment is your trekking boots. Invest in a durable and comfortable pair, preferably with water-proof lining. Boots that provide ankle support on rough ground and have stiff soles are recommended. ### What is necessary for sun protection during the trek? Even when the sun isn’t shining, sun protection is essential. UV rays are reflected by the snow and the harshness of the sun will damage your skin before you notice it at high elevations. Therefore, proper clothing and sunblock are necessary. Hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, clothes, etc. are vital for sun protection. ### Practical Matters ### Is the departure guaranteed to run? Please note that a minimum of two participants is required to operate a departure, as the quoted price is based on two customers sharing. If you are the only person booked for a particular departure, you may either postpone your trip to a future date at no additional charge or pay a single-supplement fee of USD 200 to proceed with a solo departure. ### What is your cancellation policy? Notice should be provided 20 days before the trip start date in case of cancellation. The trip can be canceled for justifiable reasons. Once the trip is canceled, a fee of 30% of the trip cost is retained for administrative costs. However, the trip amount is entirely non-refundable if the cancellation is not made before the 20 days as per our terms and conditions. For submitting a claim to your insurance company after the cancellation, we can assist with documentation such as a receipt of monies paid. Refund will not be provided for unused accommodation in case of trip cancellation caused by personal reasons/sickness/weather. More information about our cancellation policy can be found here in [Terms and Conditions](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/terms-and-conditions/) page. ### Do I need to tip my guide and porter? How much would that be? Tipping is both expected and appreciated, and it reflects your satisfaction and enjoyment of the trek. We recommend tipping based on the number of participants in your trekking group and the duration of the trek. As a general guideline, consider allocating at least 10% of your total trek cost for tipping. Detailed tipping recommendations for your guides and porters will be provided during our pre-trip briefing in Kathmandu. ### Is there any communication while we are trekking? Yes. The guides carry local cell phones, so you can use their cell phones if necessary and reimburse them. Assuming you have brought your cell phone, you can obtain a local SIM card and use it. Our guides or representatives can help you get a local SIM card after your arrival. There is the availability of Wi-Fi at most teahouses for an additional cost. We utilize satellite telephones for emergencies. ### What is the Internet availability in the Everest region? For internet usage, the Everest region has a network “Everest Link” which can be bought for around NPR 600-800(USD 5-7) for 6GB that can be used at one destination, or you can pay NPR 2500(USD 21) for 10GB data that can be used in the regions that have access to Everest link. The purchase is valid for one device only. Some teahouses will have internet access and offer Wi-Fi hotspots for a charge. These are usually unreliable and not all teahouses will have connections, so it is recommended you purchase Everest Link or a 3G/4G SIM card to use for the duration of your trek. ### Does it cost an extra amount if I am a solo traveler? If you are a solo traveler and book one of our published dates, there is no additional fee. If you sign up for a private trip or change the trip date from one of our published trip dates, you will be charged an additional fee. ### Is there a provision for a refund policy if I don't accomplish the trek? Trekkers occasionally fail to complete the journey for medical or personal reasons. In this situation, be aware that we do not issue any refunds for products purchased or unused trek days. We must pay our administration staffs, guides, and porters, purchase trekking permits, and all other booked accommodations in advance, so our expenses remain the same. ### Who else will be joining my trekking group? If there are any, you will be allocated to a trekking group. The details of the personal data of your group members cannot be disclosed. However, feel free to contact us if you have queries about other trekkers in the group and we shall give you a general idea of the ages, nationality, and sex of your group members. Chances are you will be trekking with others unless you have booked a private trip. ### What is your group size? Our group size typically ranges from a minimum of 2 participants to a maximum of 14 participants. However, our average group size tends to be around 8 participants. In addition to group treks, we also offer options for solo travelers and private group treks. If you’re interested in solo or private group treks, please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information. ### Can I add extra days to my trekking trip? You can extend your trekking trip for an additional cost. Potential arrangements will be made if we get a request from your guide. This is applicable for private or solo trips as the itinerary can be easily adjusted. The addition of extra days is bound by time when you are in a group. Therefore, discuss with your group and guide, what changes can possibly be made. ### I want to extend my holiday, any recommendations? Yes, you can extend your holiday. Ace the Himalaya offers many options and alternatives for your holiday extension. For more information, you can visit our [Day trips](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/activity/day-trips/) pages. ### Transportation and Flights ### Do I need to book my international flights for the travel to Nepal? Yes, you must book your international flights. We are a local agency and do not make international flight arrangements. You can easily browse through flight tickets in airlines sites to book ones most feasible for you. ### What form of transportation do you utilize? We utilize private tourist vehicles for touring, city visits, and airport pickups. Based on the group size, we use cars, minibuses, or vans. We use 4WD when necessary. ### Can we fly by plane to Lukla directly from the Kathmandu airport? The [flight to Lukla](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/lukla-airport-gateway-to-the-everest-region/) depends on the trekking season. During peak trekking seasons (March, April, May, October and November), the traffic in Kathmandu airport is congested so, the flight to Lukla may be from Manthali airport in the Ramechhap district. However, during the off-season, you can take a flight to Lukla directly from Kathmandu airport. ### How can I reach Manthali Airport, Ramechhap? Do the airlines provide shuttle services to get to Manthali from Kathmandu? You can reach Manthali airport by traveling in a **shared tourist vehicle**. The journey is about 5 to 6 hours (depending upon traffic) by road. Usually, the airline companies provide shuttle services at 3 am to get to Manthali airport, Ramechhap from Kathmandu (depending upon flight time). If airlines’ shuttle services are not available, Ace the Himalaya will arrange for a vehicle to Manthali airport. To catch your morning flight to Lukla, you will travel to Manthali early in the morning, between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM, from Kathmandu. The exact pickup time from your hotel will be provided during the pre-trek meeting (one day before your travel date). The return journey from Manthali to Kathmandu will remain like your outward journey. ### What sort of bus services can I expect to reach Manthali Airport from Kathmandu? Generally, vehicles such as Toyota HiAce, Mahindra Scorpio, etc. are used for shuttle services between Kathmandu and Manthali. Even though the roads leading to Manthali are bumpy, sloping, and winding, the transportation options offered will be comfortable during the trip. ### Is there a possibility of flying to Kathmandu from Lukla by plane directly after the trek? The flight to Kathmandu from Lukla depends on the trekking season. Direct flight may not be possible during peak trekking season (March, April, May, October, and November) due to heavy air traffic in Kathmandu. Therefore, the flight arrives at the Manthali airport, Ramechhap. ### What are the main reasons for Lukla flight delay or cancellation? Bad weather conditions are the major reason for [Lukla flight](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/lukla-airport-gateway-to-the-everest-region/) delay and cancellation. Other reasons can include congested air traffic at the Kathmandu Airport, staffing shortages, and other difficulties cause flight delays/cancellations. ### Is there any alternative option if my flight to and from Lukla is canceled or delayed? In the event that scheduled flight(s) to/from Lukla airport are canceled or delayed due to adverse weather conditions, making it necessary to ensure your trek departure or return, a chartered helicopter may be required, shared among up to five(5) passengers. While airplanes require a minimum of 5 km of visibility to operate, helicopters can fly in conditions with as little as 1.5 km of visibility, allowing them to operate in some weather conditions where airplanes cannot. Any expenses incurred for helicopter services will be the responsibility of the client(s) and are not covered by Ace the Himalaya. It is advisable to have a minimum of USD 550 per person (ONE WAY) readily available in case this situation arises. If you have comprehensive travel insurance, you may be able to claim these expenses later. We will provide you with the necessary documentation, including receipts and a letter from our company and the airlines, to facilitate your insurance claim process. ### Is it possible to book a helicopter flight instead of regular flight between Lukla and Kathmandu? Yes, you have the option to book a seat on a helicopter between Kathmandu and Lukla for an extra charge of USD 550 per person for a one-way flight. This price is in addition to the domestic plane flight which is included as part of your trip and the price is quoted on a 5-people sharing basis. ### How much should I pay for a private Helicopter charter? A private helicopter can be reserved for an additional cost of USD 3,500 for one way in addition to the flight cost between Kathmandu and Lukla. Similarly, a helicopter charter from Manthali to Lukla costs an extra USD 3,000 for a one-way flight. The seat limit is five. Meaning you will be sharing the cost with your fellow passengers. Sometimes, if you are lucky, the cost can get cheaper if there are passengers from Ace the Himalaya sharing the cost for both ways. We can give more information at the time of booking. ### What is the weight limit in a helicopter? Assuming the five-passenger weight limit of 80kg and a baggage limit of 15kg each, with a captain on board, the helicopter carries 475 to 575 kg on a single helicopter flight. ## Traveler Reviews These full and frank reviews are from travelers who have traveled with Ace the Himalaya previously.

[Trekking to Everest Base Camp is generally considered safe](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/is-everest-base-camp-trekking-safe/) for individuals who are in good health and eager to undertake the adventure. Ace the Himalaya has been organizing EBC treks since 2006 and [has had a diverse range of participants](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/gus-man-the-youngest-trekker-of-ace-the-himalaya/), including families with children as young as 5 years old and individuals in their late 70s. Based on our experiences, it’s important to note that high altitude presents a significant challenge during this trek, and [altitude sickness](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/altitude-sickness-prevention/) can affect anyone, regardless of their physical fitness level. It is difficult to predict altitude sickness which can strike at any time. When you’re in the mountains, mental preparedness is just as important as [physical fitness](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/how-to-prepare-for-everest-base-camp-trek/). Choosing the right travel company and an experienced certified guide to support you on the journey can increase your chances of safely reaching Everest Base Camp. Regarding the trekking trails to Everest Base Camp, given its elevation of 5,364 meters above sea level, it’s expected that you will need to ascend high hills to reach your destination. However, the trail has been designed to be accessible to individuals with good physical health and determination. Having said that, at Ace the Himalaya safety is our top priority. To ensure that, our certified guides are equipped with oximeters and first aid training. We provide one guide for small groups of up to 8 people and an associate guide for larger groups above them. Along with that we tag 1 Porters for every 2 clients which have weight limits of 30 kg or 15 kg for each client, and all our trekking staff are insured as well. Not only that, but we also offer 24/7 support and emphasize acclimatization to prevent altitude sickness. Besides that, proper gear and optional oxygen support are also available at an additional cost. Similarly, it’s important to acknowledge that the real danger during the trek is the unpredictable natural calamities and disasters beyond anyone’s control. It is strongly recommended to [obtain travel insurance before starting your journey](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/nepal-travel-insurance/). ### How to prevent altitude sickness during EBC trek? Altitude sickness poses a serious and potentially fatal risk, especially during the Mount Everest Base Camp Trek. Prevention measures are crucial due to their unpredictability. Consulting medical experts beforehand for a physical exam and risk assessment is essential. Avoiding substances like alcohol and tobacco, while limiting caffeine, aids in acclimatization. Whereas, adhering to safe altitude gain rules, maintaining hydration, and a carb-rich diet is a key factor while EBC trekking. Likewise, gradual acclimatization through slow ascents and hiring experienced guides are highly recommended. Similarly, when you recognize symptoms like nausea and dizziness and descending to lower altitudes promptly is suggested. For such cases carrying altitude sickness medications, a first aid kit, and testing local remedies are prudent precautions. Overall, while physically fit individuals are still susceptible, proactive steps can mitigate altitude sickness risks during Mount Everest Trekking. Navigate in detail the vital aspects through our blog about [Altitude Sickness Prevention Tips for Trekking in Nepal.](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/altitude-sickness-prevention/) ### What is the best time for Everest Base Camp Trekking? Trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp is possible throughout the year, with each season offering distinct experiences. Spring (March-June) is vibrant with blooming flowers, mild temperatures (20°C/68°F), and clear skies, making it ideal. The monsoon season (July-mid-September) brings heavy rain, particularly at lower elevations, but offers quieter trails and temperatures averaging 22°C (71.6°F). Autumn (end of September-November) is popular due to pleasant weather, clear views, and colorful landscapes. Winter (December-February) provides solitude with cold temperatures (10°C/50°F), dropping to -20°C (-4°F) at higher altitudes. Proper gear is crucial for warmth. Overall, spring and autumn stand out for their pleasant conditions, while the monsoon and winter offer unique experiences with challenges to overcome. For more information, you can read our blog about the [best time for the Everest Base Camp trek](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/best-time-for-everest-base-camp-trek/). ### Detail information about flying into Lukla Lukla Airport, also called Tenzing Hillary Airport, is one of the world’s most dangerous airports at 2,840 meters high serving as the entry and exit point for Everest region treks via flight. However, there are some operational changes involving flights from Ramechhap/Manthali airport at times. **Lukla flight from Ramechhap/Manthali Airport** Ramechhap/Manthali Airport is in Nepal’s Terai region, about a 5 to 6-hour drive from Kathmandu from there you’ll have a 20-minute flight to Lukla. In peak months such as March, April, May, October, and November, Lukla flights are redirected to Ramechhap/Manthali (474 m) due to increased air traffic. **Lukla flight from Kathmandu airport** Similarly, in months like January, February, June, July, August, September, and December, Lukla flights originate from Kathmandu, which will take you about 35 minutes to reach Lukla. However, it is important to understand that the decision regarding the operation of Lukla flights is entirely up to the airlines and is influenced by the number of travelers each month. Therefore, factors like unfavorable weather, airport congestion, runway issues, and geographical challenges often lead to flight delays or cancellations to Lukla. To account for this, it’s recommended to add an extra day or two to your Everest Trekking plan. This buffer time can be valuable in case of flight disruptions, ensuring you catch your scheduled international flight back home. ### Baggage allowances in Lukla Flight Please remember that the maximum weight allowed for the Lukla flight is 15 kg (about 33 pounds), which includes both your duffel bag and daypack. If your daypack is heavier than this limit, you can pay an extra fee of USD 2 to USD 5 for each kilogram over the limit. However, sometimes even with the extra payment, you might not be allowed to bring more weight. To avoid any issues, it’s best to stick to the 15 kg limit when packing. ### Travel insurance for Everest Base Camp Trekking Having travel insurance that covers high-altitude adventure activities (above 5,000 m) is mandatory. This includes contingencies like flight disruptions, accidents, and emergency evacuations. You can buy such insurance online from various providers. Some of the common choices based on client experiences for Everest Base Camp Hike include: - USA and Canada: Tugo, United Health Care, World Nomad, Blue Cross - Australia and New Zealand: Fast Cover, Allianz Australia - Singapore: Ergo, World Nomad (Explore plan level 3) - Europe: Europe Assistance, Austrian Alpine Club, Allianz Europe - India: ICICI Lombard However, please ensure that the policy covers trekking up to 6,000 m altitude. While these are just suggestions, the policies, and coverage may vary accordingly. Contact these insurers directly to inquire about their offerings before making a purchase. ### Tipping tips for your Everest trekking Tipping is customary for guides in Mount Everest Trekking, and it’s also a kind gesture for local restaurants, drivers, and porters. A good practice is to set aside around 10% of your total trek cost to tip the staff. Typically, we suggest a minimum of 10% of the total trip cost, divided between the guide and the porter. For instance, if the trip price is \$1,500, each customer could contribute \$150, dividing it by a 60-40 ratio between the guide and porter. This recommendation considers that many hospitality establishments already include a 10% service charge for their staff. However, the decision on the tipping amount is entirely at your discretion, whether it’s 10% or more or less. ### Phone and Gadgets charging In Everest Base Camp Hiking trail, they normally use renewable energy like solar power. If you need to charge your devices, certain guesthouses may charge a fee, usually around USD 1-5 per charge. It’s advisable to bring two-pin (type C) and three-pin (type D) adapters. However, you can either bring these adapters or buy them in Kathmandu. ### Trip Extensions Upon completing your Himalaya Base Camp trek or before embarking on it, you can further discover Nepal’s beauty through various alternatives. These include Trishuli River Rafting, Langtang Heli Sightseeing, Paragliding in Nepal (Pokhara), Ultra-Light Flight, Kathmandu Day Tour, Bardia Jungle Safari, and Chitwan Jungle Safari. These options unveil Nepal beyond its mountains.

Most ingredients are locally sourced in the Khumbu region, ensuring freshness even at higher altitudes. Meals during the trek are hearty and designed to keep trekkers energized. The main staple is **[dal bhat](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/famous-five-nepali-food/)**, a traditional Nepali meal of rice, lentil soup, and vegetables. It is nutritious, filling, and often comes with free refills. **Breakfast options** typically include toast, eggs, porridge, Tibetan bread, chapati, oats, and muesli. These meals provide a good balance of carbohydrates and energy to start your day on the trail. **Lunch and dinner options** feature a mix of local and international dishes. Along with dal bhat, teahouses commonly serve momo (dumplings), noodles, pasta, pizza, lasagna, fried rice, fried potatoes, Sherpa stew, and a daily soup option. Garlic soup is especially popular, as it is believed to help with acclimatization at higher elevations. **Beverage options** include tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and hot lemon. Staying hydrated is essential during the trek, and warm drinks are widely available at teahouses. For health and digestion at altitude, we recommend sticking to **vegetarian meals** throughout the trek. Meat is available in some places, but due to transportation and storage limitations at higher elevations, vegetarian food is generally safer. You can also purchase additional snacks and drinks such as extra hot beverages, soda, candy, cookies, or crisps along the trail at your own expense. Carrying protein bars and dried fruits from Kathmandu is also a good idea for quick energy boosts between meals. Overall, the [food on the Everest Base Camp trek](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/food-on-everest-base-camp-trek/) is comforting, filling, and well-suited to the demands of high-altitude trekking. ### Can a beginner trek Everest Base Camp?

The [best time to trek to Everest base camp](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/best-time-for-everest-base-camp-trek/) are autumn (Mid-September to November) and spring (March to early June). This trek is possible year-round, and we can organize it when it suits your schedule. However, we generally suggest doing this trek in the favorable seasons and keep away from rainstorm season (July and August). In cold months of January and February, the temperature can be a little harsh in the mountains. However, some prefer to travel during these months as it is less crowded given that you are well prepared with appropriate winter wear and other gears. Due to its tendency to be localized, the [weather in the Everest region](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/weather-and-temperature-in-everest-region/) is challenging to forecast. You could see rain, fog, cold, or hot and sunny weather while trekking. It is best to be equipped to handle various weather situations. In the Everest region, nighttime temperatures are significantly lower than midday temperatures. In less than a day, the temperature can change from a high of 25°C (77°F) to a low of – 20°C (-4°F). The weather and temperature ranges are typically predictable based on the month and season, even though it might be challenging to predict what each day in the mountains will bring. **Spring – March/April/May/June** Despite being the busiest season, spring is perhaps the best time to visit the Everest region. Activities assisting the expedition teams take place in Everest Base Camp. The many varieties of blossoming trees should be visible, and the sky should be clear with stunning vistas. During springtime, the average temperature is 20°C (68°F), with a high of 25°C (77°F) during clear days and a low of – 15°C (5°F) overnight above 4000 meters. **Monsoon season – July/August through Mid-September** Since it rains heavily at elevations below 3500 meters, this season isn’t exactly ideal for travel in the Everest region. While it can occasionally be dry in areas above 4000 meters, it frequently rains so therefore not many people travel during this season. Trekking during the monsoon season has some advantages, such as a greater possibility of seeing waterfalls and the best opportunity to escape crowds. During the monsoon, the average temperature is 22°C (71.6°F), with a high of 30°C (86°F) during clear days and a low of- 5°C (23°F) overnight above 4000 meters. **Autumn – End of September/October/November** In the Everest region, autumn is equally as busy as spring. It is one of the best times to go, too. While the plants and trees are not in bloom, the sky is often clear, offering breathtaking vistas from almost every viewpoint. The average temperature in autumn is 17°C (62.6°F), with a high of 20°C (68°F) during clear days and a low of – 15°C (5°F) overnight above 4000 meters. **Winter – December/January/February** Due to fewer tourists, some people like winter travel. Even while the views are still beautiful, it can be cloudy, thus adding extra days is highly advised during this time. The average temperature is 10°C (50°F), with a high of 17°C (62.6°F) during clear days and a low of – 20°C (- 4°F) overnight above 4000 meters. The teahouses provide extra blankets for warmth at night. The temperature rating of the sleeping bags that we rent to trekkers is about -15 °C (5 °F). Also, our guides can obtain extra blankets if needed at the teahouses. Yes, it’s possible to hike to Kala Patthar before reaching Everest Base Camp to witness stunning sunsets. However, due to unpredictable mountain evening weather, the safer approach is to trek to Everest Base Camp first and then ascend to Kala Patthar early the following morning. Yes, you can obtain a Nepal visa upon your arrival at the airport. There are kiosks in the arrival hall that you use to complete the necessary forms. The cost is USD 30 for a 15-day tourist visa, including numerous entries, or USD 50 and USD 125 for a 30-day or 90-day tourist visa including numerous entries respectively. You should carry cash (USD) with you to pay your visa fees quickly and easily, as digital payments are frequently unavailable. To save time, we recommend filling out the online visa application form in advance. Applying online 2 weeks before your arrival will expedite the process at the airport. For detailed guidelines, please refer to our blog titled [Guidelines for Online Tourist Visa Form in Nepal](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/guidelines-for-online-tourist-visa-form-in-nepal/). Our staff will be waiting for you outside the airport terminal with our signboard (Ace the Himalaya). You will be accompanied to a hotel in a private tourist vehicle. The process of obtaining a visa and collecting your baggage at Tribhuvan International Airport generally takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. This duration can vary depending on factors such as the time of day, the number of arriving flights, and the passenger volume. Yes, SIM cards are available for purchase at the airport from local telecom providers such as Ncell and Nepal Telecom (NTC). We recommend choosing Ncell for its extensive coverage. The SIM card counters are open 24 hours, you can buy a SIM card in the arrivals area after collecting your baggage. Please ensure you bring a passport-sized photo and a copy of your passport for the purchase. You can exchange currency at one of the money exchange counters in the arrivals area of Tribhuvan International Airport, which operate 24 hours a day. Alternatively, you can also exchange money at authorized exchange centers near your hotel, which are typically open during the day. Typically, USD 15 to 20 per person per day will be sufficient. This is to purchase water, tea/espresso, snacks, and hot showers in the mountains and for lunch or dinner in Kathmandu. Additionally, if you want to buy souvenirs or native Nepali goods, you can bring extra cash with you. Yes, you can use credit cards in Nepal, especially in major cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara. Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are widely accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and shops. However, please note that the use of a credit card may come with a fee to cover transaction charges. Nepalese Rupees cash is preferred to a credit card while trekking in the mountain region. Exchanging your cash into Nepali Rupees in Kathmandu before the beginning of the trek is ideal. This can be accomplished at the airport, at banks, or at your hotel. Please note the hotels will exchange up to about USD 100 for each transaction only. There are ATMs up to Namche Bazaar but can be unreliable. The currency exchange rate is better in Kathmandu. When you book, you must pay a 30% deposit to secure your itinerary. The remaining balance can be paid upon your arrival at Kathmandu or before arrival. US Dollars cash and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express) are accepted once in Nepal. Please note a 4% transaction fee will be added for all credit card transactions. You can make payments via US Dollars cash or credit card (Visa, Master, and American Express). A 4% transaction fee is added if paying with a credit card. Thus, we encourage you to pay with USD cash if you are planning to pay upon your arrival in Kathmandu. We prefer you pay with larger bills (USD 50 or 100). Please note that the cash **should not be older than 2009** and in good condition, as banks do not accept worn, torn, or crumpled bills. There are ATM and money exchange facilities almost every few meters in Thamel, where you will be staying in Kathmandu. So, you can easily use your cards to cash out limited sum of money to which a minimum charge is deducted by the ATM facility itself. You can easily exchange your foreign currencies in currency exchange centers for an exact rate. Previous trekking experience is not required if you are physically healthy and have enough enthusiasm for the trek. Our treks have no age restrictions if members are healthy and willing. We warmly welcome [trekkers of all ages](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/gus-man-the-youngest-trekker-of-ace-the-himalaya/) to embark on this incredible adventure. We have had families with kids as young as 5 years do the treks along this region, and our oldest adventurers have been in their late 70s. For more information, check out our blog titled [Everest Base Camp Trek with Kids](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/everest-base-camp-trek-with-kids/). It is safe for a female to trek alone in Nepal. Nepal is usually regarded as a safe nation for female visitors traveling alone. It is entirely safe for a solo woman to trek with Ace the Himalaya on any of our treks. The Everest Base Camp Trekking in Nepal is somewhat challenging due to the altitude and long duration of the trek. It is a strenuous journey that comprises walking 5 to 8 hours a day. If you’re curious about the specific challenges and preparation needed, check out our blog on [Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/everest-base-camp-trek-difficulty/) for more insights. The average walking speed for a reasonably fit person is 4 kilometers per hour. At higher elevations, it is highly recommended that you walk slowly to help with acclimatization. For Everest base camp trekking, you must prepare your body to walk over uneven, hilly landscapes while carrying a backpack. Walking at an incline, jogging, cycling, and going for long-distance hikes are all good ways to exercise. You should work out for at least one hour four to five times a week for at least two months before trekking. For more comprehensive tips and detailed insights on how to prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime journey, check out our blog: [How to prepare for Everest Base Camp trek](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/how-to-prepare-for-everest-base-camp-trek/). Participants in good physical condition should be able to complete this trek. If you are not physically active, we advise starting an exercise regimen two months before the trek that includes at least an hour of walking at an incline, running, or biking four to five times a week. Incorporating hiking into your workouts is ideal. It is advised to speak with a doctor before making travel arrangements if you have any health conditions that could affect your ability to complete the trek. The weight limit for the Lukla flight is 15 kg (33 pounds), including your duffel bag and daypack. If your daypack weighs more than the allowed weight, you can pay an extra USD 2 to USD 5 per kilogram. Despite the extra pay, the baggage allowance is occasionally withheld. Therefore, we recommend you pack within the 15 kg weight limit. After making the deposit, one of our staff will email you for further information. We will require a copy of your passport photo page and your arrival/departure flight details. We will also provide you with additional trip information. Travel insurance is mandatory for our hiking itineraries. We require your policy have medical evacuation coverage for the maximum elevation of your itinerary. Insurance may also cover additional costs in the event of a flight delay or cancellation caused by bad weather, medical costs, theft, loss, and damage to your items while traveling. Travel insurance can be obtained online by one of several travel insurance companies. Please note that insurance obtained from an airline at the time of booking your flight may not cover medical evacuation coverage. You can find the necessary items to pack for the trek on the [Equipment Section](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/trip/everest-base-camp-trek/#tabEquipments) of this trek. Gear and equipment can be bought or rented upon your arrival in Kathmandu. If you plan on buying or renting gear in Kathmandu, please allow extra time. Yes, we do provide sleeping bags or down jackets for rental costs of USD 35 each. Do let us know before initiating the trek and we shall provide items. You can view the photos of the gear at this link: [Photos of the Gear](https://photos.app.goo.gl/B75yeBHGZBLChuNw8). The sleeping bag weighs approximately 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs), while the down jacket weighs about 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs). We provide you with a free duffel bag of 70 to 80-liter capacity that our porters will carry. The maximum weight that porters can safely carry is 30kg, and each porter is assigned to two people. However, each porter carries a maximum of 25 kg/55 lbs in total during the trek period. Your duffel bag, which should weigh no more than 12.5 kg/27.56 lbs per client, will be carried by the porter throughout the trek. We suggest a 30 to 40-liter capacity daypack. Wider straps and hip belts are recommended to assist you in carrying weight evenly and reduce pain. Bring copies of your passport, insurance papers, and other essential items in your carry-on during your flight. If you need to take medications daily, keep them in your daypack with your other essential possessions. You can store other non-trekking essentials in the office of Ace the Himalaya or at the hotel in Kathmandu. In Kathmandu, we use three-star hotels including breakfast. We use Hotel Thamel House, Hotel Jampa, or comparable-class lodging in Kathmandu. Teahouses with clean rooms are used during the trek. For further information see [Teahouses in the Everest region trek](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/teahouses-everestbasecamp-trek-things-need-know/) A private room in the teahouses and in Kathmandu can be guaranteed for an additional cost. Yes, private attached toilets are available in teahouses at Lukla, Phakding, and Namche Bazaar. In the remaining places along the trail, teahouses provide shared (common) toilet facilities. The Everest Base Camp trek package includes 2 nights’ accommodation in Kathmandu. In case of unforeseen circumstances such as flight cancellation, your health, or for any reason you decide to discontinue the trip and arrive early in Kathmandu then you will need extra accommodations in Kathmandu. The cost of the teahouses in the mountains is not equivalent to the cost of a hotel in Kathmandu. In such cases, we will arrange your accommodations, but you will need to pay a supplemental charge. You can buy toilet paper in the guesthouses during the trek, but it can be expensive, so we suggest you bring some with you. You also need to bring personal items such as towels, soap, hand sanitizers, and so on. There are toilet facilities in the teahouses/lodges during the trek. Trekkers can also find private areas along the trail for emergencies. Multiple [food choices](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/food-in-everest-base-camp/) are available in the guesthouses. Options include [daal bhat](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/famous-five-nepali-food/) (rice and lentil), bread, eggs, potatoes, noodles, soup, pasta, and pastries. We suggest eating vegetarian during the trip. You will find a great deal of garlic on the menu since it helps with acclimatization. Each meal includes one hot drink. Hot drinks include coffee, hot chocolate, tea, and hot lemon drinks. You can purchase an additional hot drink or sometimes soda at your own expense. You can also purchase candy or cookies (crisps) at your own expense. Indeed, the guesthouses follow international guidelines while setting up the food and serve you clean, protected, and warm meals**.** Most of the teahouses in the mountains offer vegetarian meals. So, being a vegetarian is not a problem. Vegetarian meals are preferable to avoid food poisoning and indigestion. Natural spring water or tap water can be found along the trek and in guesthouses but must be treated. We use [Katadyn filters](https://www.katadyngroup.com/us/en/brands/Katadyn~b4906/overview/listing) or water purification tablets to purify the natural water sources to make them safe to drink. This way, it is sustainable and pocket friendly as you need not buy bottled mineral water. You must carry a water bottle that can hold both hot and cold water and a hydration pack. If the temperature drops too low for the Katadyn filter to function properly or if any technical issues occur, it is recommended to buy boiled water from the teahouse to ensure [safe drinking water on EBC](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/drinking-water-on-the-everest-base-camp-trek/) as an alternative. Yes, teahouses do provide hot boiled water for an extra charge of USD 2 to 5 per liter. The cost varies and increases at higher altitudes. Yes, hot showers are available from Lukla up to Namche Bazaar for an additional cost. Some villages at higher elevation too might have shower availability. However, you can purchase a pail of warm water at higher elevations to bathe with. It is not recommended to take showers above the village of Dingboche to avoid sickness. Depending on the location, it will cost an additional USD 5 to USD 8 for each shower during the trip. Some teahouses provide laundry services in the Everest region for an extra charge. However, it’s not guaranteed that your clothes will dry on the same day. There is a possibility that you can wash your clothes yourself during acclimatization days in Namche and Dingboche. However, we recommend you pack enough clothes for your trek and do not rely on laundry services. Yes, you can charge your equipment during the trek for an additional cost. The cost will vary but is around USD 1-5 per charge. Two pins (type C) and three pins (type D) adaptors are highly recommended. Bring these adaptors or purchase them while you are in Kathmandu. We provide licensed trekking guides with fluent English. Our guides are certified by the Hotel Management and Tourism Center after receiving 45 days of training. Similarly, the guides receive high-altitude training from Kathmandu Environmental Education Project (KEEP). Our guides are well trained and certified in first aid. Throughout the journey, our guides will evaluate your condition and your oxygen level using an oximeter. Our head office receives continuous updates on your condition and location through the guides. In places without a phone signal, your situation will be updated through a satellite phone during emergencies. We allocate one guide for groups of up to 7 participants.

Guesthouses at higher elevations such as Lobuche and Gorak Shep offer oxygen at an extra cost if needed. The cost of oxygen can be high so we recommend having travel insurance so they can reimburse you. We can also provide pre-booked oxygen for an extra cost of USD 200 for 1 tank that can be carried along with you during the trek starting from Namche to higher elevations. Altitude sickness is a possibility during the EBC trek. Air at higher elevations has less oxygen available. To avoid altitude sickness, acclimatization days and slow climbs are recommended at higher elevations. Along the trek, you’ll be assisted by our professional guides in recognizing and preventing altitude sickness. An important piece of equipment is your trekking boots. Invest in a durable and comfortable pair, preferably with water-proof lining. Boots that provide ankle support on rough ground and have stiff soles are recommended. Even when the sun isn’t shining, sun protection is essential. UV rays are reflected by the snow and the harshness of the sun will damage your skin before you notice it at high elevations. Therefore, proper clothing and sunblock are necessary. Hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, clothes, etc. are vital for sun protection. Please note that a minimum of two participants is required to operate a departure, as the quoted price is based on two customers sharing.

The purchase is valid for one device only. Some teahouses will have internet access and offer Wi-Fi hotspots for a charge. These are usually unreliable and not all teahouses will have connections, so it is recommended you purchase Everest Link or a 3G/4G SIM card to use for the duration of your trek. If you are a solo traveler and book one of our published dates, there is no additional fee. If you sign up for a private trip or change the trip date from one of our published trip dates, you will be charged an additional fee. Trekkers occasionally fail to complete the journey for medical or personal reasons. In this situation, be aware that we do not issue any refunds for products purchased or unused trek days. We must pay our administration staffs, guides, and porters, purchase trekking permits, and all other booked accommodations in advance, so our expenses remain the same. If there are any, you will be allocated to a trekking group. The details of the personal data of your group members cannot be disclosed. However, feel free to contact us if you have queries about other trekkers in the group and we shall give you a general idea of the ages, nationality, and sex of your group members. Chances are you will be trekking with others unless you have booked a private trip. Our group size typically ranges from a minimum of 2 participants to a maximum of 14 participants. However, our average group size tends to be around 8 participants. In addition to group treks, we also offer options for solo travelers and private group treks. If you’re interested in solo or private group treks, please don’t hesitate to contact us for more information. You can extend your trekking trip for an additional cost. Potential arrangements will be made if we get a request from your guide. This is applicable for private or solo trips as the itinerary can be easily adjusted. The addition of extra days is bound by time when you are in a group. Therefore, discuss with your group and guide, what changes can possibly be made. Yes, you can extend your holiday. Ace the Himalaya offers many options and alternatives for your holiday extension. For more information, you can visit our [Day trips](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/activity/day-trips/) pages. Yes, you must book your international flights. We are a local agency and do not make international flight arrangements. You can easily browse through flight tickets in airlines sites to book ones most feasible for you. We utilize private tourist vehicles for touring, city visits, and airport pickups. Based on the group size, we use cars, minibuses, or vans. We use 4WD when necessary. The [flight to Lukla](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/lukla-airport-gateway-to-the-everest-region/) depends on the trekking season. During peak trekking seasons (March, April, May, October and November), the traffic in Kathmandu airport is congested so, the flight to Lukla may be from Manthali airport in the Ramechhap district. However, during the off-season, you can take a flight to Lukla directly from Kathmandu airport. You can reach Manthali airport by traveling in a **shared tourist vehicle**. The journey is about 5 to 6 hours (depending upon traffic) by road. Usually, the airline companies provide shuttle services at 3 am to get to Manthali airport, Ramechhap from Kathmandu (depending upon flight time). If airlines’ shuttle services are not available, Ace the Himalaya will arrange for a vehicle to Manthali airport. To catch your morning flight to Lukla, you will travel to Manthali early in the morning, between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM, from Kathmandu. The exact pickup time from your hotel will be provided during the pre-trek meeting (one day before your travel date). The return journey from Manthali to Kathmandu will remain like your outward journey. Generally, vehicles such as Toyota HiAce, Mahindra Scorpio, etc. are used for shuttle services between Kathmandu and Manthali. Even though the roads leading to Manthali are bumpy, sloping, and winding, the transportation options offered will be comfortable during the trip. The flight to Kathmandu from Lukla depends on the trekking season. Direct flight may not be possible during peak trekking season (March, April, May, October, and November) due to heavy air traffic in Kathmandu. Therefore, the flight arrives at the Manthali airport, Ramechhap. Bad weather conditions are the major reason for [Lukla flight](https://www.acethehimalaya.com/lukla-airport-gateway-to-the-everest-region/) delay and cancellation. Other reasons can include congested air traffic at the Kathmandu Airport, staffing shortages, and other difficulties cause flight delays/cancellations. In the event that scheduled flight(s) to/from Lukla airport are canceled or delayed due to adverse weather conditions, making it necessary to ensure your trek departure or return, a chartered helicopter may be required, shared among up to five(5) passengers. While airplanes require a minimum of 5 km of visibility to operate, helicopters can fly in conditions with as little as 1.5 km of visibility, allowing them to operate in some weather conditions where airplanes cannot. Any expenses incurred for helicopter services will be the responsibility of the client(s) and are not covered by Ace the Himalaya. It is advisable to have a minimum of USD 550 per person (ONE WAY) readily available in case this situation arises. If you have comprehensive travel insurance, you may be able to claim these expenses later. We will provide you with the necessary documentation, including receipts and a letter from our company and the airlines, to facilitate your insurance claim process. Yes, you have the option to book a seat on a helicopter between Kathmandu and Lukla for an extra charge of USD 550 per person for a one-way flight. This price is in addition to the domestic plane flight which is included as part of your trip and the price is quoted on a 5-people sharing basis. A private helicopter can be reserved for an additional cost of USD 3,500 for one way in addition to the flight cost between Kathmandu and Lukla. Similarly, a helicopter charter from Manthali to Lukla costs an extra USD 3,000 for a one-way flight. The seat limit is five. Meaning you will be sharing the cost with your fellow passengers. Sometimes, if you are lucky, the cost can get cheaper if there are passengers from Ace the Himalaya sharing the cost for both ways. We can give more information at the time of booking. Assuming the five-passenger weight limit of 80kg and a baggage limit of 15kg each, with a captain on board, the helicopter carries 475 to 575 kg on a single helicopter flight. ## Traveler Reviews These full and frank reviews are from travelers who have traveled with Ace the Himalaya previously.
