It is every trekker's personal choice as to what they want to do and Mountain Magic Treks always encourages its customers irrespective of the routes they choose.

If you have any doubt, please contact our travel experts in US, UK, South Africa and Nepal immediately. We will educate and guide you from being a good hiker to a great hiker, trekker and mountaineer. We are the experts!
Yes, of course you can! The Mountain Magic Treks has set a record for taking a 12-year-old English boy and an 84-year-old Canadian woman to Everest base camp in its trekking history. Therefore, as long as the participant is physically fit and highly determined there should be no problem.
We usually recommend this trek for families as well but planning and cons ng ahead of time with professionals plays a very important role for a successful trek. Trust Mountain Magic Treks for all your Everest treks as we stand by all means to fulfill your wishes.
Yes, cell phone networks can be found on the trek. Most locations receive cell phone coverage by either the NCell or NTC networks. However, in some areas, there may be no coverage.
The climate in the Everest region varies from season to season. The Himalayan region is never hot, not even in summer. Maximum temperatures during the day reach 25°C/77°F while at night it drops to -20°C/-4°F or even lower.
There are a few things to keep in mind if you plan to conquer Everest Base Camp without any problems related to altitude sickness. Here are some tips from our experienced guides and trip planners to avoid altitude sickness during the Everest Base Camp trek.
Slow climb with proper rest and adequate acclimatization
Yes, you must take diamox on this trek. Diamox is intended to prevent altitude sickness but not to cure its symptoms. When symptoms begin to appear, your only option will be to descend to a lower altitude.
Usually, the first symptoms begin to appear 12-24 hours after arriving at high altitude. Different levels of altitude sickness have different symptoms. Symptoms of mild, short-term altitude sickness include dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, loss of energy, and shortness of breath
P. In general, oxygen is not required for the trek and it is our itinerary that is designed in such a way that it allows for substantial improvement. In addition, we provide the drug Diamox to prevent early onset of symptoms to prevent overreaction. However, in the event of a severe elevation, we immediately descend to a lower altitude.
During your trek, electricity is available to recharge your phones, laptops, iPads with micro-hydropower and solar panels on a pay-as-you-go basis. As for Wi-Fi, there are no hotspots on the trekking trail after Namche
Starbucks Coffee in Lukla and Everest Bakery in Namche are the only two places that offer free Wi-Fi. In other places higher up, you have to pay to use internet services, which increases gradually with altitude.
Mountain Magic Treks has a competent team of trekking leaders and mountain crews who are highly skilled to deal with the difficulties or any kind of emergency that may arise during the trek.
If you feel sick with altitude, the first place you should inform your leader about it so that he knows what to do. With all the years of experience, he can sense the severity of the situation and react accordingly, either by bringing you down to a lower altitude or using a helicopter to rescue you.
If the helicopter is unable to fly for some reason, we will use our local staff and contacts to coordinate alternative rescue and treatment procedures, which may mean using a horse or stretcher to carry the sick person down the mountain to the nearest health post. Safe helicopter landing site.
Generally, crampons are not required for this trek if you are trekking in season. But if you want to trek in mid-winter or monsoon season, crampons may be necessary. You never really know what conditions you will encounter on the trekking trail until you get there, so it is better to keep your crampons and not use them if needed.
If it’s too much to carry from your home country some of the necessary equipment can be hired or bought in Kathmandu around Thamel as well.
Most of the equipment is general and standard lists for all seasons while on trek, but may differ as per the season and duration of trekking and areas of your chosen trip.
Eating is a big part of the Holiday. Traveling with Mountain Magic Treks, you experience the vast array of wonderful food Nepalese, Italian, Continental, Chinese, and several local cuisines. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included in the package. Your guide will suggest delicious, hygienic and each place special food during your trip. Mountain restaurant owner prefers not to order many dishes and waste food as they would like to cater more trekkers with limited food before runoff stuck. It’s a week or more day’s hard works to Porters and caravans to bring food to these places. During this trek you will usually have breakfast and dinner at the same Lodge, Lunch will be eaten at one of the trail side restaurants on route.
A Tea House is a combination of a guest house, restaurant, and social hang out. A private room is available in most tea houses, except for high altitudes ones where it will be just dormitories. The Lodges are fairly basic. The room is spare with twin beds and very little additional furniture. Blankets are generally provided. There is a large dining hall warmed by the Bukhara stove (an iron cylinder, fitted with a chimney duct, in which a log fire is lighted. There is normally no electric lighting in the room unless the village has hydroelectric power. The dining room usually has solar lighting.
Most tea houses now also have electricity for charging small appliances- mobile phones and cameras- and there will be a small charge for this.
Mountain Magic Treks provides unlimited chlorine/lodine treated water the trek. All tea houses have mineral water and boiled water for trekkers upon additional cost. We discourage the purchase of mineral water and bottled water while on the trek as plastic bottles and difficult to dispose of and have become an environmental problem.
Mountain Magic Treks offers you complementary route map T-short and duffel bags
This is a very active trip, it means you will be on the move most of the time, so pack as lightly as possible. We provided one porter for two trekkers; your trekking gear will be carried by the porter in a duffel bag that we will provide. The maximum the porters are allowed to carry 15 kg per trekker means 30 kg from two trekkers. Unnecessary luggage can be left in Kathmandu Hotel and its free of cost.
Please read the Gear list section of this trip notes for additional details of what you need to bring for the trek on this trip. You will need to bring a comfortable medium sized day pack to carry the things that you will need during the day. This should have a waist strap or (batter) a padded waist belt. The weather is subject to change in the mountains so layered clothing is recommended all around the year.
Whilst some individuals seek to summit the greatest mountain on earth, it is enough for most mere mortals to simply stand at the base and experience the awesome stature of Everest from below. However, there are no roads into Everest Base Camp Trekking and every person seeking to view the incredible mountain up close will need to trek through the Khumbu Valley from Lukla to Base Camp and back again - unless, of course, you can afford a helicopter!. The journey usually takes several weeks and can sometimes seem a little daunting to a novice hiker. But don't panic, it's very achievable!
The first thing to make clear is that the Everest Base Camp Trek requires no technical climbing and is essentially a long hike. We therefore strongly believe that anyone with determination and a basic fitness level can trek the route - and all of our successful clients attest to this!. We have seen overweight, underweight, old and young do this trek and all of them enjoyed it thoroughly.
That being said, there are a number of crucial factors to consider prior to trekking the route such as length, altitude and training that will help you determine whether you think the Everest Base Camp Trek route is the right trek for you.
For everyone who will plan to Trek in Nepal, it is highly recommended that you get a travel insurance that covers added expenses that might result due to various health issues, injuries or accidents (together with air ambulance, helicopter rescue and other treatment cost). Your insurance policy should cover up your entire activities that you are planning to accomplish throughout your stay in Nepal. In addition to this, the policy should also cover death, misplaced luggage, theft and liability, cancellations, medical treatment (counting hospital charges, cost of the medicine, doctor’s fees) as well as repatriation cost. Also, this trekking trail in Nepal take you of 5,000 m above the altitude, therefore, you also need to ensure that your insurance policy covers treks that go over 5,000 m. In short, its client himself/herself has to take the responsibility regarding unforeseen expenses during this trip.
