Best Time to do the EBC trek

When we are on a set to travel, we all have a primary concern about the weather in our minds. it's super important to choose the right and the best time to travel and make a worth holiday trip. The favorable month/ seasons of the year to do the Everest base camp trek is Autumn (Sep-Nov), and Spring (March-May)! It's undoubtedly the best season of the year and offers a crystal clear Shining Himalayas views and its landscape, you could enjoy the trek more with a better view! The temperature is moderate it's not very hot and cold. If you wish to avoid crowds this trip during winter (Dec., Jan. and Feb.) could also be the best option.

Accommodations on Trek

Accommodation in Kathmandu, you would be staying at the best hotel basically 3-4 stars, on the twin-sharing basis. But Accommodations in trekking is very basic where you will get the room with pillows, a warm and nice blanket, attach bathroom if it’s available with comfortable beds during the 12 days Everest base camp trek,  if you are single you get the single bedroom as well with hygienic food, The Menu for food and accommodation have fixed by local management community.

Meals on the Trek

The Everest base camp trek route has numerous tea houses along the way and every single tea houses have the menu system with different ethnic cuisines foods as well as western meals on the Menu; you could pick up any kinds of a meal as you like to have during the trek, we would highly recommend the vegetable items instead of Meat because the meat in the mountain can be effected some time because it may not be used to it for the new travelers in this region. But some places provide you with typical Nepali meals which are different types of international meals. These are prepared by the local supplement. Every tourist Lodge has a well-trained cook basically attention for clean, hygienic, fresh, and nice testy foods. The variety of drinks and every lodge have safe drinking water or mineral bottles of water you could buy. If you buy a water purification tablet from Kathmandu you can take water from the tap and purify yourself this will be cheaper and help to control the plastic pollution as well. The water you could buy everywhere in the Everest region at a reasonable price but the price would go high when you go to high altitude areas. We also recommend you buy boiled water instead of cold which keeps your body warm.

    Alyssa H - December 31, 2018

    If you are thinking about trekking to EBC, you HAVE to go through Alpine Ramble Trekking. I can't imagine any company offering a better experience. Every step of the way, Alpine Ramble went above and beyond all expectations: from the timely and helpful email replies to airport pick-up and drop-off (with welcome leis and parting sashes) to ensuring maximum comfort and health while on the trek, the entire experience was OUTSTANDING. Our trio was lucky enough to have Krishna as a guide--with over 19 years trekking the mountains, he was an expert (and amusing, too!). We felt safe and taken care of the entire journey...and he's a great picture-taker, too. This company takes care of the little things along with the big--when we arrived back in Kathmandu after our successful trek, we were even treated to a generous Nepalese feast as we watched traditional dancing and music. I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Dil, Krishna, and our "mountain family" of Alpine Ramble. Look no further if you're interested in a Himalayan trek!!!
