No rain clouds obscure the view of the mountains, allowing you to get the most out of the trip. The start of autumn and tail end of spring is also the best time to witness the wilderness teeming with life. Dashain and Tihar festivals in the autumn and Dumji festivals in the spring also add further life to the region. ## Food and Accomodation EBC Trek offers many dishes such as Nepali dal bhat, Indian, Continental, and Chinese soups. Most tea houses also sell cookies, sweets, and other snacks. Likewise, Namche has some unique pubs, bakeries, and restaurants to explore. There is also an Irish pub there and many German bakeries. During the trek, you will stay at a tea house, the facilities and quality of which will vary depending on the altitude.

However, the climb is challenging; you will go up and down continuously for 5 to 6 hours daily.

For drinking water, you should bring purification pills or a LifeStraw. The toilet is simple but clean, and water showers are available at a low price. As mentioned above, low oxygen levels and air pressure make altitude sickness very likely. So, avoid excessive drinking, stay hydrated, and give yourself plenty of time to acclimatize. Kunde village has a hospital, and Pheriche has a clinic. ## FAQs ## How long is the trek to Everest Base Camp?

The best seasons for this trek are autumn (October-November) and spring (March-May). The weather is relatively steady during these months, and the temperature is perfect for long walks. No rain clouds obscure the view of the mountains, allowing you to get the most out of the trip. The start of autumn and tail end of spring is also the best time to witness the wilderness teeming with life. Dashain and Tihar festivals in the autumn and Dumji festivals in the spring also add further life to the region. EBC Trek offers many dishes such as Nepali dal bhat, Indian, Continental, and Chinese soups. Most tea houses also sell cookies, sweets, and other snacks. Likewise, Namche has some unique pubs, bakeries, and restaurants to explore. There is also an Irish pub there and many German bakeries. During the trek, you will stay at a tea house, the facilities and quality of which will vary depending on the altitude. Hotels in the lower altitudes typically offer comfortable accommodations with electricity, commodes, Wi-Fi, and hot showers. The trek is most enjoyable in spring and autumn, from March-May and September - November, respectively. The temperatures are optimal and clear skies offer the best views. Trekking is possible in the winter and rainy season, but it is better not to do it because there may arise many complications. Winter is from December to February and the rainy season is from June to August. The trek is also doable in the winter and rainy seasons, but better not to undertake this trek. Winters occur between December and February, and the rainy season occurs between June and August. It is because winters have lots of snow and fog, and extreme rain makes for slippery roads in the rainy season. The rainy season also has the added risk of flight cancellation at Lukla which is already the world's most dangerous airport. The EBC Trek can be started without any prior hiking experience. However, the climb is challenging; you will go up and down continuously for 5 to 6 hours daily. As we ascend to the highest altitude of 5,545 m, altitude sickness is a real chance of occurrence. Water for personal hygiene is readily available during the walk. For drinking water, you should bring purification pills or a LifeStraw. The toilet is simple but clean, and water showers are available at a low price. As mentioned above, low oxygen levels and air pressure make altitude sickness very likely. So, avoid excessive drinking, stay hydrated, and give yourself plenty of time to acclimatize. Kunde village has a hospital, and Pheriche has a clinic.
