    Great Trek with Heaven Himalaya!

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 16 day EBC trek thanks to the organized Heaven Himalaya tour! We chose the luxury option to avoid some of the scarier toilets 😂 we’d seen photos of online and are pleased to report we never had too rough of an experience! The company was informative, flexible and kind. Our guide Shankar was very helpful to adjust our schedule and find accommodation alternatives that we might enjoy better on the fly!The only thing we weren’t warned of ahead of time (we think the itinerary was just outdated) is that flights to Lukla are no longer operating out of Kathmandu. So it was a surprise the day before that we had to take a 3am 5-hour car ride to get to an airport that does fly to Lukla. And when the weather was bad (out of their control of course but turns out to be more frequent than not), we were stuck with a pricey helicopter ride so that we didn’t upset our tight schedule. While inconvenient and a bit frustrating in the moment, we realize we would hav…

EBC training plan

Can beginners do the Everest Base Camp trek?

Yes, beginners can complete the trek if they are physically trained and mentally prepared. Taking a slow pace, staying hydrated, resting when needed, and following a structured training plan make it possible for newcomers to reach Base Camp safely.

How difficult is the Everest Base Camp trek?

The trek is moderate to challenging. It does not require technical climbing skills, but the high altitude, long walking hours, and steep paths can be difficult. Walking slowly, staying hydrated, and taking acclimatization days help make the trek safer.

Do I need to be very fit to do the trek?

You do not need to be an athlete, but it is important to be physically and mentally prepared. The trek involves walking 5 to 8 hours a day on uneven and hilly trails. Doing cardio, strength, flexibility, and trek-specific hiking training is very important to make the journey safe and enjoyable.

What are some safety tips for the trek?

To stay safe, acclimatize properly, carry a first aid kit, drink enough water, and eat energy-rich meals. Listen to your body and do not push yourself too hard. Hiring a guide or porter is recommended for navigation and support, especially for beginners.

How much does the trek cost?

The cost depends on whether you trek independently or with a guided tour. Expenses include flights to Lukla, accommodation at tea houses, food and drinks, trekking permits like the TIM’s card and Sagarmatha National Park entry, and guide or porter fees if hired. Guided trips with Heaven Himalaya make it easier to manage costs and provide a safe, organized experience.

Accommodation in Everest

When can you trek to Everest Base Camp?

The Everest base camp trek is doable year-round. But the best time for the EBC trek is in spring and autumn when the weather is stable and the temperature is pleasant, perfect for trekking. During this time of the year, the visibility is also excellent, and there is a high chance of getting an unobstructed view of Mt. Everest.

Are there hot showers on the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Yes, hot showers are generally available at various points along the EBC trek. Most teahouses, especially those in the lower elevations, offer the option of hot showers for an additional fee. However, as you ascend to higher altitudes, the availability of hot showers can become less reliable and more expensive. In more remote regions of the trek, the facilities are limited and only available at an increased cost.

Can I charge my electronic devices?

Yes, you can charge your electronic devices at teahouses and lodges along the EBC trek, but there may be a fee, and availability can vary. It’s important to note that electricity in these EBC hotels is not always reliable and is often generated from solar panels. As a result, they may charge a small fee for device charging, and in cloudy or gloomy weather, electricity may not be available, making charging impossible. So, carrying a solar power bank or solar charger can be handy.

Where do I stay on the Trek?

While trekking to EBC, you have a range of overnight stay options available. These options include basic teahouses, mid-range hotels, and even high-end luxury hotels and resorts along the route. However, as you ascend, the accommodation facilities become more basic, with fewer services. Among trekkers, teahouse accommodation is the most popular choice.

Altitude Sickness

What Causes Altitude Sickness?

The primary cause of altitude sickness while trekking in Nepal is ascending to a great height too fast. The number of oxygen molecules decreases with an increase in height. So, our bodies take time to cope with the change. If it doesn’t get enough time to adapt to the new environment, it shows symptoms of altitude sickness.

What does high altitude illness do to your body?

The mild symptoms of altitude sickness cause little harm to your body. But, if ignored and continued on the journey, it may turn severe. High altitudes speed up your breathing rate, increase the capacity of your lungs, and generate more red blood cells in your body. But, it takes time.

Can I prevent altitude sickness naturally without taking medications?

Yes, you can prevent altitude illness naturally by taking plenty of water, trekking at a slow pace, including acclimatization days in your itinerary, eating more carbs, and many more.

Visa and Arrival

Can I get a visa on arrival in Nepal?

Yes, Nepal provides a visa on arrival for most nationalities. The process is straightforward: you fill out an arrival form, pay the visa fee, and receive your visa at the airport. However, visa eligibility depends on nationality, and some countries are not eligible for visa on arrival. Citizens of certain countries (such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Nigeria, Syria, Ethiopia, Ghana, etc.) are required to apply for a visa in advance through a Nepal embassy. We always recommend checking updated visa rules before traveling, as policies may change.

Does Nepal provide a Visa on Arrival?

Yes, Nepal offers a Visa on Arrival for citizens of most countries at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. The process is generally straightforward: complete the arrival form, pay the applicable visa fee, and receive your visa upon entry.

However, Visa on Arrival eligibility depends on your nationality. Citizens of certain countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Nigeria, Syria, Ethiopia, and Ghana, are required to obtain a visa in advance through a Nepalese embassy or diplomatic mission before traveling.

To make your arrival smoother, we recommend completing the online visa application form before your trip, ideally one to two weeks prior to departure. This can significantly reduce processing time at the airport and help you avoid unnecessary delays.

As immigration policies may change, we strongly advise checking the latest visa requirements through official Nepal immigration sources or your nearest Nepalese embassy before traveling.

How can I buy a SIM card in Nepal?

Buying a SIM card in Nepal is simple and can be done upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport or at authorized telecom outlets throughout Kathmandu. The two main carriers are Ncell and Nepal Telecom (NTC). You will need your passport and a passport-sized photo for registration. Ncell offers the fastest 4G and is suitable for urban areas while NTC has more geographic reach making it more suitable in remote areas and high altitude trekking circuits. If you want peace of mind, you can get both. Both the carriers also offers eSIMs, if you phone supports them.

You can exchange foreign currency at the currency exchange counters located inside Tribhuvan International Airport after landing in Kathmandu. Exchange services are also widely available in tourist areas such as Thamel. Major currencies like USD, EUR, GBP, and AUD are commonly accepted for exchange. We recommend carrying some Nepali Rupees before starting your Everest trek, as ATM and banking facilities become limited in the higher mountain regions.
