Short Everest Base Camp Trek

Hiking to the base of Mount Everest is best during the autumn season (from mid-September to the end of November) and spring (from February to May). However, if you are simply fit, you can trek to base camp any month of the year with a professional guide.

On the Everest base camp trek, it is not the same temperature, but it is no doubt a cold hiking route in Nepal. December, January, and February are the coolest months to hike to the base camp of Mount Everest, and the temperature drops to -30 degrees centigrade.

The temperature you will get during this trek depends on which settlement you are staying at. For example, at Lukla, Phakding, Manjo, and Jorsalle, you will have warmer temperature compared to other settlements on this trek. Similarly, at Everest base camp, Gorakshep, Lobuche, Dingboche, and Tengboche are the coolest places on this trek.

If you are trekking during the monsoon season to the Everest region, you may get very light rain, so during monsoon time too, you can trek to Everest Base Camp. And this time of the year the route will be quiet and less dusty with more facilities will you get than during high season.

The higher you trek, the colder you get, so at night and early morning you should wear warm clothes, and during the day the temperature will be mild and you need to wear normal clothes.

During the our Itinerary and Package Everest Base Camp Short Trek takes 11 days, but it can be done within 10–15 days from Kathmandu to Kathmandu. It depends upon your interest and holiday vacation. It depends on how fit you are and how long you have had to train before you begin your trek. However, if you manage your time for at least 13–14 days, including a few days extra and arrival-departure on top of the trekking period, that would be enough time for your Nepal holiday. The extra day is very important in the event of your flight being delayed or cancelled. If you miss your flight back home, you could miss your flight back home.

Short Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary is the most popular and strenuous trail in Nepal. If you are planning Short Everest Base Camp Trek, you should have a good level of physical fitness.

The cost of the Short Everest Base Camp Trek Package is determined by the tour and travel operator you choose and the total time you spend on the mountain. There are several factors that vary the price, for example, hotel standard, transport, the grade of guide you are taking and other services while trekking.

The cost of the Everest Base Camp Short Trek starts from $1099 USD to $3000, which includes round-trip flights from KTM to Lukla and back. If you are in a group of at least 4 or more, the cost will be cheaper, but this cost is for a minimum of 2 trekkers. For the single trekker $USD 290 will be extra as single rabblement fees on top.

You can also find budget tour operators offering the Everest Base Camp Trek for about $999–$1099 per person.

We suggest you book your trip with a moderate type of tour operator because budget tour operators provide very basic food, little food, low-quality rooms, and less experienced guides. So if you would have short period of time then Everest Base camp Short Trek Package  or Everest Base camp Trek with Helicopter Return to Lukla and Commercial flight back to Kathmandu

Before you embark on your trek, you should have a visa for Nepal. Most European and American countries can get a visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport, but a few countries, such as Nigeria, Ghana, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Palestine, Syria, Somalia, Ethiopia, Liberia, Cameroon, Swaziland, and Iraq, do not get a visa from Nepal on arrival, but from the Nepal embassy in their own country, they can get a visa.

To enter the Sagarmatha National Park, you will need to fill out a visitor registration form and pay an entry fee of about $35 per person, plus Pasang Lhamu Gaun Palika entry fees.

No, there are quite a few guides who work in almost all the trekking regions in Nepal. There is no proper guide who just works in the Everest region. You can hire a guide from Kathmandu or Lukla if you are trekking to EBC, but make sure they are a License Holder Guide.

There are many factors, and the standard of travel agencies determines the price, but the moderate type of salary a day for a guide is between $30-35 USD, and similarly, 25–30 USD for a porter. In Nepal, there is not really a fixed rate for them, but the price above is an approximate daily salary for them.

Yes, you can use ATMs in Namche Bazar and Lukla. There are a few ATMs where you can use your Master Card and Visa Card. If they don’t work because of the server, then you can also exchange money at the money exchange place. There will be several places where you can exchange money.

Food is quite nice on these trekking trails. There will be a menu at each guesthouse, and they also serve various foods, mostly western and local. Don’t expect proper meals like in the city, but still, they cook very nicely with fresh vegetables. The most popular foods are Momo, Dal Bhat set, pancakes, potato rosti, fried rice, fried noodles, soups, tea, coffee, pasta, pizza (basic), and several types of curries. If you want to try local Nepali food, then try the Dal Bhat set, which will come with rice, vegetables, soup, vegetable curry, and pickles. They are quite nice. The price of one meal roughly costs 5 to 8 USD, and a liter of water costs 1–3 USD.

Trekking distances are the same as any other normal trek. We trek for about 6-7 hours every day, which means 12–18 km per day. The difference is Short Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary hasn't rested for acclamitization and exploration days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche.

It takes 6 to 15 days to reach Everest Base Camp, depending on the mode of transport and the packages offered by Mountain Magic Treks.

Lukla is 9,500 feet (2,850 m) above sea level. The higher altitude, the less dense the air becomes. Therefore, planes need to land faster. The weather in the region changes constantly, and cloud cover can be extreme, causing turbulence that, while not dangerous, can be difficult for travelers.

Lukla is the country's busiest airport, serving as a port of entry and exit for trekkers wishing to climb Mount Everest. Mountain Magic Treks will strive to make your flight enjoyable, no matter the conditions.

We recommend that you allow an additional 1/2 day for the hike due to unpredictable weather. Flights from Kathmandu to Lukla or Helicopter flights from Gorakshep to Kathmandu are canceled during bad weather.

In such cases, the flight is automatically rescheduled for the next possible day.

If you have a very tight schedule, you can charter a helicopter to ensure that you are on schedule for either the trek or your flight back home. However, the cost of the helicopter will have to be covered. However, if the visibility is less than 1,500 meters, it is impossible to operate the helicopter, and Mountain Magic Treks will schedule the flight.

Our team members, including guides and porters, are insured, and the company covers their expenses.

There is no age limit, but the Mountain Magic Treks Team does not recommend high-altitude climbing for children. Trekking at high altitudes can seriously affect a child's health. For adults, you need to be in good shape and have a positive attitude. Mountain Magic Treks does not recommend this trek for those suffering from certain medical conditions, such as heart or lung disease.

Mountain Magic Treks usually provides one porter for two trekkers to carry 18kg (a maximum of 9kg for each trekker). Lukla's flight weight limit is 10kg total, and you can hand carry 5kg, making your total 15kg.

We require a 20% advance to confirm the trip booking, which you can pay via bank transfer, Western Union, or online through our site. You can pay the rest of the trip by cash, bank transfer, Western Union, or credit card. We will email you payment details, including available payment modes.

If you are allergic to certain medicines, it is better to consult your doctor and bring your medicine.

Mountain Magic Treks treats its clients as family members and takes safety measures to avoid altitude sickness and other illnesses.

You will be greeted by a Mountain Magic Treks representative holding a pamphlet with your name on it outside the arrival lounge at Tribhuvan International Airport. He will take you to your chosen hotel in a private vehicle.

Mountain Magic Treks does not recommend non-vegetarian items in trekking areas, as meat may not be hygienic in such places. We will strongly advise you as well to avoid dairy and cheese items, along with alcohol, during the trek.

Therefore, our packages are suitable for everyone—vegetarians, vegans, and non-vegetarians.

Mountain Magic Treks has cancellation and refund policies. For more information, visit the Booking Terms and Conditions section.

Bottled water is cheap and easily available. But you cannot use plastic bottles on Everest. Therefore, it is better to carry a thermos with boiled and filtered water. You may need to use water purification drops or tablets, which you can bring from your own country or buy in Kathmandu.

Mountain Magic Treks also provides water purification pills in Kathmandu on request.

The trekking level is challenging. Mountain Magic Treks makes every effort to make your trip as safe, easy, adventurous, and enjoyable as possible.

Yes, most guesthouses offer Wi-Fi for a small fee.

The short answer is yes. You can trek to the base camp if this is your first trek.

EBC is considered one of the more challenging trails, but as long as you are reasonably healthy and fit and can walk for 6 hours a day, you should make it with ease. If you're signing up for an EBC trek, you should definitely start running, jogging, and participating in stamina-oriented exercises a few weeks before the trek.

While the EBC is still considered a challenging trek, safety should only be a concern if you are traveling alone and without insurance. Mountain trails can be difficult, but with guided tours, you're as safe as you can be anywhere in the world.

You are likely to need a quick helicopter flight back to Kathmandu to avoid a health emergency, so adequate insurance is a must. Insurance should cover high altitude helicopter rescue and medical evacuation expenses. We need your insurance documents before you start your EBC trek.

However, local and professional trekkers reach Everest Base Camp throughout the year, and Mountain Magic Treks conducts Everest Base Camp treks in all seasons.

The weather at this time is the coldest throughout January and into early February. The days are moderately hot, but the nights are cool, and you can expect lots of snow. If you are allergic to colds, we advise you to stay away from your trek during this season.
Temperature: 15°C to -15°C

Trekking at high altitudes is physically demanding. Not only does this trek take you to high altitudes, but the path is rugged with rocky hills and steep climbs and descents. However, no technical experience or skills are required.
Exercising and jogging regularly a few weeks before the start of the trek will increase your stamina and allow you to enjoy the trek to the fullest.

They will continuously monitor your oxygen level to detect altitude sickness very early. Furthermore, we have designed itineraries in such a way as to avoid altitude sickness.
