Mount Everest Base Camp Trek 14 Days

Mount Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal is a moderate to difficult trekking in the Khumbu region of the eastern Himalayas. 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking attracts around 40,000 trekkers every year with a success rate of 95% and more. The Everest region isn't connected to the capital city by road, so a mountain flight is the only way to get to Lukla, the trailhead of the 14 Days EBC trekking. The classic 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trek is including the day of arrival and departure and two acclimatization days.

Carrying the dreams of thousands of mountaineers, Mt. Everest stands tall at 8,848 meters in the Nepalese Himalayas. Although the summit of Everest isn't accessible to most, its base camp is.

Everest and the surrounding mountains from Kala Patthar (5545 m) seems unreal.

What to Anticipate at the 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal?

Right from the start of the trip, you'll be fascinated by the aerial perspective of the great Himalayas as you fly from Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Lukla at 2845 meters. From the very first day, you'll be surrounded by snow-capped mountains that appear nearer and clearer each passing day. The hike officially begins at Lukla, taking you to Phakding, then Namche Bazaar, the unbelievable Himalayan town with modern amenities at an elevation of 3440 meters. You'll spend a day acclimatizing at Namche and continue the trek to Tyangboche, Dingboche (2nd acclimatization), Lobuche, and Gorekshep, the highest overnight stay of the EBC trekking at 5163 meters. The landscape turns from lush green to barren lands and finally to rocky mountains covered by snow. The incredible sight of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Amadablam, Thamserku, and Pumori during the trek can't be described in words, neither can we explain the feeling you get while standing at the foothill of the one and only Mt. Everest. You have to see it for yourself!

Likewise, the cultural aspect of the 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking is equally fulfilling. You'll pass by many small villages and spend the nights at some. You can expect a warm welcome by the locals with wide smiles and joined hands saying "Namaste" or "Tashi Delek." The main inhabitants of the Everest region are the well-known Sherpas, who's excelled in the mountains for years. These Tibetan descendants follow Buddhism, and their centuries-old culture is greatly influenced by it. You'll come across ancient monasteries, numerous chortens, mani walls, and prayer flags swaying at the backdrop of the giant Himalayas.

Besides the extreme natural beauty and warmth of the locals, you can also expect excellent trekking services from Outfitter Nepal, such as an English-speaking licensed guide, fit potters, airport transfers, flight tickets to and from Lukla, permits for the EBC trek, teahouse accommodation with 3 meals during the trek and 3-star hotel stay with breakfast in Kathmandu.

What does a typical day at the 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trek look like?

Although each day brings a unique experience to your 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking Journey, you'll follow the same daily routine while trekking except for the acclimatization days. Your EBC trekking 14 Days day begins with a delicious breakfast at the mountain lodge you stayed the night. After breakfast, pack your backpacks, hit the trail of ascends, and descend for a few hours. We take a lunch break at a teahouse at approximately the midpoint of the day's hike. Your body will also get some rest during an hour or two of lunch break. Post lunch, you'll again hike for another few hours until you reach your destination for the day. Check in to your room, unwind your body, socialize at the dining hall, have dinner, and enjoy a good night's sleep.

Acclimatization days, on the other hand, are more leisurely. You can wake up late, stroll around the locality or go for short hikes between meals. Take enough rest but remember to move your body, as it is the best way to acclimatize.

Everest Base Camp Trekking - Is it right for you?

Despite the staggering elevation of the Everest Base Camp (5364 m), the trekking itself isn't that frightening. As the walk begins at an altitude of 2845 m at Lukla, the total elevation you gain as you reach the base camp is around 2500 m over a period of 8 days, which isn't extremely difficult. This is why the 14 Days EBC trekking is considered a moderate to difficult trek. The trek difficulty also depends on the trekker's overall health and weather conditions. If you're in sound health and are determined to accept the challenges as you go with open arms, you're a right fit for Everest base camp.

We have records of children as young as 3 years and 7 months and senior citizens as old as 75 reaching the Everest Base Camp on foot. Everest base camp is right for you regardless of age if you're physically fit, mentally strong, and willing to train properly.

Prepare yourself for 14 Days Everest Base Camp Trekking in Nepal

There's no hard-and-fast rule on how to prepare for the Everest Base Camp. You know the drill if you've experienced trekking in high altitudes. If you haven't, start by watching videos of people from your country who've successfully trekking to Everest base camp. Study the Everest region's climate, weather, and temperature. To get your body fit for the trek, indulge in cardiovascular workouts, weight training, and hiking up and down the hill with a backpack of 5-6 kgs for a few hours each week. Start 6 months prior to your departure.

Mental preparation is an essential part of it. Prepare yourself mentally to hike for several days in the uneven terrain of the isolated Himalayas without any healthcare facilities and spend nights in simple mountain lodges. Get to terms with the basic living facilities, constant weather changes, and high risks of altitude sickness.
