Travel tips for Everest Base Camp Trek
Inarguably, almost anyone can plan and enjoy trekking to the Everest Base Camp but we believe that there are certain things that one needs to keep in mind to make their trekking experience smoother and more enjoyable.
Check out the below-stated tips and tricks to save your time and money to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime adventure experience.
Buy gear in Kathmandu
-
Undoubtedly, competition is all around the corner and Kathmandu is home to several trekking shops from where one can purchase the required trekking gear at very reasonable rates. However, you need to be very alert while selecting the gear as the quality varies.
Select a reliable and authorized travel agency
-
One needs to be very attentive and wise while engaging a tour agency for their trekking experience to Everest Base Camp. If you fail to do so then you are not going to complete your adventure activity with ease and comfort.
Keep count on your baggage weight limit
-
Your main pack should not exceed 10 kg of weight and the carry-on pack must be of 5 kg only and you need to strictly adhere to this weight limit policy or else you might not attend the flight. Although it is possible to carry extra luggage by paying extra cash we would not recommend you to do so.
Be ready for flight delays
-
Climatic conditions in high altitude areas are inconsistent which leads to delay in flights. We advise you to carry extra snacks, a book if you love reading, and most importantly a lot of patience.
Take care of your feet and overall health
-
Your safety and security are our topmost priorities therefore, we recommend you purchase a good pair of shoes to save your feet on the rough mountain slopes. Additionally, we also recommend you to binge on the meals offered by your travel agency and if you are thinking to taste something from a restaurant or hotel then check the authenticity and the hygiene level of that place first.
Carry your first aid kit
