Standard Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary

This section of the blog is for expert trekkers with ample time in hand. Although you have to spend a fortnight of your vacation on this trip, each second will be worth it. There are two routes that we do generally advise the tourists- one that takes approximately 14 days while the other one takes 12 days.

A. Standard Everest Base Camp Trek- 14 days

This trek is for experienced as well as inexperienced travelers. It starts from Lukla and goes all the way up to the Everest Base Camp and then again back to Lukla. It takes almost 9 days to reach Everest Base Camp, and then 5 days to come back to Lukla.

This trip is well suited for individuals who are having higher chances of altitude sickness. This trek allows two acclimatisation sites, one in Namche Bazar and another in Dingboche. You will spend a couple of days in the process of acclimatisation, which is highly beneficial for the trekkers.

B. Standard Everest Base Camp Trek- 12 days

Here goes up the path that is almost the same as the previous trek but takes two days less time. It follows the exact same path from Lukla to the Everest Base Camp and then again comes back to Lukla. The two days of acclimatization are cut off in this trek.

This trek is preferred by the tourists more than the previous one, due to less cost and time involved. However, people who are not confirmed about their health, or history of altitude sickness is not elicited, this trek can be dangerous. So, choose your trekking options wisely.

From the name itself, you may have understood, that this section comprises the unplanned, undesigned trek routes. Most of the time, these trek plans have no fixed trails. These are the most traditional trek routes that were once used by the kings and the warriors. They take a longer time undoubtedly, but you will certainly experience a classy trekking experience.
