Useful Information
Everest Base Camp Trek terrain & difficulty 
Everest Base Camp Trek is a moderate trek with a fair share of challenging steep
ascends and descends. Mind you, descents are as difficult as ascents, so don't take it
lightly and be careful on the track. You will be walking 6 to 7 hours a day at a minimum,
therefore you have to be in good health and fitness. 
The trail winds through dense forests and the region get remote with an increase in
elevation. You have to walk in thin air before touching EBC, which can get challenging for
some trekkers. Along with that, you always have to look for altitude sickness and make
sure you do not get any symptoms. You can learn more about altitude sickness here.

April) and autumn (October to November) is the best time of the year to go on the Everest

The trail sees hundreds of flowers bloom in the spring. And autumn adds the warmth of
festivity to the environment as the Nepalese celebrate their biggest festivals in this

face freezing cold and possible trail blockage. Monsoon is not a good time of the year to
trek to EBC.
