Rated
by National Geographic as one of the top 5 treks in the world, the
Everest trek to Base Camp is on most keen trekkers’ wish list. And everyone
who has walked up the mighty Khumbu valley to visit the camp from which so many
great adventurers have launched their Everest challenge agrees this is a
fantastic experience.
Although
trekking is possible in Everest Base Camp everyday around
the year, the best time to trek
Everest is from the beginning of Mar. to
May and Sept. to Nov.. As a consequence of freezing temperature in winter, if
you travel
to Tibet at that time, you may find it’s
hard to trek Mt. Everest. Many hotels and
guesthouses will close when there is heavy snow.
The views
Everest
Base Camp and several mountains on the way are truly
magnificient. Apr. to May is a good time to see fascinating landscapes with trees
surrounded by rhododendrons (National flower of Nepal). In addition, the
picturesque scenery will definitely impress all the trekkers.
If
you want to trek in Tibet, Mt. Everest
is one of the most classic routes. If you want to travel to Everest, there are some gears you have to equip before trekking.
Package: Pack all your
necessities and necessities only—raincoat, waterproof clothes, caravan shoes,
sleeping bag, tent, down
jacket and etc.
Food: Prepare yourself with some high energy and high heat food,
something like hard bread, chocolate and jerk.
Medicine: Herba Rhodiolae(3 days before your trek), meds
for cold and other drugs depending on your own healthy condition.
Sunscream: The ultraviolet rays of Mt. Everest
is surprisingly strong due to its thin atmosphere. In case of sun burn, you
have to protect yourself. Do bring your sunglasses, sunscreen cream and
after-sun scream if available.
The Everest Base Camp

you peace and calm with much needed timeout from the stresses and burdens of a
busy lifestyle.
