As the altitude goes above 5000 meters during the Short Everest Base Camp Trek, trekkers need to be in a very good physical shape before embarking on the journey. Medium physical exercises are recommended to all the travellers 3-4 months prior to the trek. There will be some hardships along the way but the trek surely will be worth it as you taste the authentic local foods and beverages along with the spectacular sceneries.
The trek begins with a spectacular flight to Lukla, one of the most thrilling airports in the world. We head to Phakding from Lukla and stay for the night with a belly full of local foods and beverages. We head to Namche Bazaar the next day, which will be around 5 to 6 hours of walk. After a long and tiring day we stay a warm lodge at Namche and take a good night’s sleep with an exciting day ahead tomorrow. The fourth day we stay at Namche to acclimatize and the following day we continue our journey to Tengboche and onwards to Dingboche. The next day we head to Lobuche village, and the following day we end up in Gorakshep which will be the last destination before we reach the Everest Base Camp. The final destination and highest altitude of this trek will be Kalapathhar which is a great viewpoint of the great Mount Everest. After clicking amazing pictures and enjoying the lovely sceneries we head back to Lukla via the same route and take the stunning flight back to Kathmandu.
