Our day typically begins around 7- 8 am, when we gather for breakfast in the teahouse (lodge) dining room. Breakfast orders are placed the night before to ensure efficiency so the teahouse owner can have them ready on time. After breakfast, we prepare our duffel bags for the porter to carry. In contrast, we carry only a day pack with essentials like water, sunscreen, and snacks. Following breakfast, we followed our guide along a familiar route, as the guide would have briefed us on the day's highlights the night before.
We continue hiking until we reach a lunch spot, usually a tiny settlement along the trail. After lunch, we resume our hike until we reach the teahouse where we'll spend the night. Upon arrival at the teahouse, we select our dinner items from the menu before unwinding with fellow travelers or journaling. The guide will provide insights into the route and landscape for the following day during or after dinner. Before retiring for the night, placing our breakfast orders for the following day is essential.

It requires effort and determination, but most people can do it with proper planning. During the trek, you'll need to walk for about 5 to 6 hours each day. The journey typically begins around 8 am and ends by 3 pm, depending on your destination. Along the way, you'll encounter different terrain and witness stunning panoramic views. The breathtaking sights of the Everest Region make the trek worthwhile. Although trekking and hiking can be challenging, those willing to prepare and stay determined will be able to succeed.
What is the best time for Everest Base Camp Treks?
The best seasons for the Everest Base Camp trek include spring and autumn- specifically, from March to May and September to November. The weather is usually crystal clear, and the Himalayan views can be explored brilliantly. The days are warmer, and the nights are cold. In spring, the temperature of Namche Bazaar (3440 meters) will usually be around 3-9 degrees Celsius (37-48°F). In autumn, the temperature will sometimes go below zero at night, but days are fine to walk.
Winter becomes more adventurous to trek to Everest base camp as the temperature might fall below zero even during the day. The usual snowfall is expected up to Lukla. However, trekking in December and January are great seasons if you want fewer crowds. Monsoon is regarded as an off-season trek in the Khumbu region- Everest Base Camp. However, some lower-altitude treks can be done during the monsoon too.
What is the accommodation like During The Trek?
During your trip, you will stay in a 3-star hotel in Kathmandu. While trekking, your accommodation will be in teahouses or guesthouses along the route. The accommodations will be shared with another person of the same gender. If you prefer a private room, you can request it for an additional cost. The rooms provided by Adventure Club Trek will have attached washrooms up Namche Bazaar. However, please note that after Namche Bazaar, teahouses only have shared washing and toilet facilities. Single rooms in Kathmandu and lower-elevation trekking regions are more accessible but may be scarce at higher elevations. Teahouses at lower elevations usually have hot showers powered by gas. In comparison, those at higher elevations offer hot water for bathing. If you want a hot shower, you may need to pay an extra $3 to $5 at the teahouses. After a long day of trekking, many people find this expense worthwhile.
What is the food like on Everest Base Camp Trek?
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided during the trek, and breakfast will only be provided in Kathmandu. We host welcome and farewell dinners for our guests. During the trek, we have breakfast and dinner at tea houses or lodges where we spend nights while there will be lunch at tea houses on the way. The teahouses offer a variety of hot drinks and meals. The typical meals are omelets and toasts, boiled or fried eggs, momos, vegetarian curries, pizza, macaroni, or chow mein. The Nepali traditional Dal Bhat consists of rice, lentils, and vegetables. We recommend that trekkers avoid meat on the mountain as it is unhygienic.
Drinking water on Everest Base Camp Trek
We provide all the meals on the trek but don't provide water. The best option is to treat the local water with chlorine/iodine tablets or a sterile pen. You can get free water from tea houses and along the trail. However, you'll need to treat it. Use the tablets only if they have dissolved completely (30 minutes). Mineral water is available along most trails. Mineral water costs USD 1 per liter at tea houses at lower elevations but can be up to $4 at higher altitudes.
Electricity, WIFI, And Battery Recharge in Everest Region
While trekking in the Everest region, you can recharge your phones, laptops, and iPads using micro-hydropower and solar panels available by paying a bit fee. However, please note that Wi-Fi hotspots are unavailable along the trekking trail after Namche. The only establishments offering complimentary Wi-Fi are Starbucks Coffee in Lukla and Everest Bakery in Namche. Beyond these locations, internet services require payment, with costs increasing as you ascend altitude.
