EBC Trek Difficulty
Because the Everest Base Camp Trek is essentially a long stroll at altitude, it does not require any technical training or mountaineering skills. Despite the fact that the trek is non-technical and accessible to anyone with some basic fitness, there are a few things to consider before embarking on the Everest Base Camp Budget Trek.
Length: Since you'll only be walking for 9 of the 12 days, you'll be traveling roughly 15 kilometers every day. However, the 15 kilometers each day will not be on a flat paved path. Instead, you'll be trekking over rocky and sometimes icy which will certainly slow you down.
Altitude: The most difficult component of the journey is altitude. Therefore we recommend consulting your doctor to confirm that you are on this journey.
While you don't need to hire a personal trainer or quit your day job to get in shape for the trek, some gym time and longer treks will help you prepare for the mountainous climb up to Everest Base Camp.
Best time for Everest Base Camp Budget Trek
The Everest region is accessible all year, but the best for Everest Base Camp Budget Trek is in the spring and autumn. The weather is pleasant throughout the spring months (March to May), there are plenty of daylight hours, and you may view beautiful wildflowers and rhododendrons.
Trekkers who want to see the Himalayas in their best condition should go hiking in the autumn (September to November) because there is less rain, the skies are clear and magnificent, and you get fantastic views of the near horizon. This is a very popular time to go hiking there. Naturally, you are free to do whatever traveling you choose over the remaining months if wanted.
Nonetheless, the off-seasons i.e. monsoon and winter are a fantastic opportunity to get a more distinctive Everest Base Camp experience. The sky frequently clears up after you ascend above Namche Bazaar, even during the rain. During the winter, there will be relatively few people on the trail, and the villages and valleys will be lightly dusted with snow.
