Everest Base Camp Trek Route-Iconic Features
Not only does the Himalayan scenery exist on the Everest base camp trekking route, it also offers a serene cultural touch of Tibetan Buddhism. Once you land at the Lukla airstrip, you will feel the cultural vibes spread around the region. Throughout the EBC trail, there are colorful monasteries, chhortens, and mani walls. Khumjung monastery is one among the globally renowned monasteries, where you can see the Yeti-Skull (Yeti is a mysterious creature which is believed to be half man and half animal and is believed to have found in the Everest Himalayas. The surrounding is populated by Everest climbers. Hotel Everest View is an enticing attraction, which was built for luxury seekers even in the mountain region. The Everest Himalayan attractions can be explored from this point. Pangboche monastery in Pangboche is the oldest monastery in the Khumbu region, which was rebuilt after it was destroyed in the fire. Tengboche Monastery (3860 meters) is the biggest monastery in the Khumbu region at this altitude. Dingboche is a windswept village at 4300 meters altitude, which is also a gateway to Island Peak. The greenery of the Sagarmatha National Park gradually turns out to be a treeless region, where only the rocky terrain dominates the surrounding landscape.
If you follow the EBC trekking map route, it guides you through the dense woods, which is a shelter for abundant wild species like Himalayan Thar, Red Panda, Wild Yak, Musk deer, and more wild animal species. Some of the popular trekking routes that connect Everest base camp are EBC Trek via Renjo La and Cho La Pass, Everest Base Camp Trekking via Gokyo Lake Cho La Pass, Everest Base Camp historical route, and Everest base camp trekking via Khongma La Pass. All the high passes exceed over 5000 meters.
Everest Base Camp Trekking in Khumbu
The trail to the Everest base camp and Kalapatthar is remarkable, which is all the way gradually uphill. At the same time, the increasing altitude makes your trek a bit challenging with breathing. On the way, you will cross several steel bridges over the Dudh Koshi River that is decorated with Buddhist prayer flags. The altitude adaptation becomes great once you stop for acclimatization at Namche Bazaar. It is highly advantageous as you will be hiking above 3440 meters on the following days. Some of the remarkable alpine settlements are on the way till Gorakshep, which is the last human settlement on this route. Local people are warm, welcoming and offer wonderful hospitality. Hiking above Gorakshep is above 5000 meters, which can be more adventurous.
Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty
Walking gradually from Lukla (2800 meters) every day for about 6-7 hours, you will get used to the technicality of the trail. In fact, the trail is not so challenging, but the altitude makes it tough once you reach Namche Bazaar. We can name the route moderately challenging. However, the walking pace becomes slower heading from Dingboche (4410 meters), which is another rest stop above Namche Bazaar for many of the trekkers for the altitude adaptation. The treeless region, slippery route, and alpine zone above Dingboche continue till you reach Everest base camp. It is tough in the alpine region, however, in the lower parts, it's an easy hike. Even if you are trekking for the first time in Nepal, Shiva Excursion eases your trip with a couple of acclimatization rest and designs the trip which suits your expectation.
Best Everest Base Camp Trekking Season
There are mainly two peak trekking seasons to Everest base camp. They include spring (March, April and May) and autumn (September, October and November). These two seasons offer warm walking weather, which is amazing for EBC trekking. The stunning views of the Himalayas like Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and the surrounding peaks look incredible. EBC trekking in December will be a bit colder, but packing warm stuff, you can do it without any hesitation. It is a great relief from the crowd as well. Mid-winter and the monsoon are not a favorable time for Everest base camp trekking, where a heavy snowfall blocks the route in mid-winter. However, you can enjoy an EBC helicopter tour in mid-winter.
