Everest Base Camp Trek's Information
Mount Everest is the highest peak of the world, which is
located in the northeastern Nepal. The largest town of the region is Namche
bazaar which is known as the home of the famous Buddhist monastery of
Thyangboche where the annual Mani Rimdu festival is held. Our Journey starts
from lukla and usual first-night stop on the way to the market town of Namche
bazaar in phakding, virtually all in the khumbu begin with the flight from
Kathmandu to small town of lukla. Most
Everest region lead to the
Everest Base Camp, however there are side trails to
explore and more remote paths to discover as well as challenging trekking peaks
to climb. We didn’t feel giddy with excitement that morning when you see the
sunrise from the window where you stay in the lodge (or hotel).
At the Namche bazaar 11,200 feet, you’ll have your first
compulsory acclimatization day and you’ll be glad for the opportunity to
explore this spectacular village and surroundings. Expect this way the day where,
despite extreme exhaustion, weakness from loss of appetite and braving bitterly
cold conditions. Whatever trail you
follow though, you will soon be immersed in the austere beauty of this awe
inspiring trekking region. There is the
plenty of sightseeing to be had, including the khumjung gomba monastery and the
Sir Edmund Hillary-founded Khunde hospital.
Continuing up the khumbu valley, the climb is steady to
lobuche and Gorak shep, our highest overnight points. Just because you are not
stepping foot on Mount Everest, do not think that the
trek to Everest Base Camp
(EBC) is easy to undertaking. The landscape is now harsh and inhospitable and
accommodation basic- concrete buildings, no running water and you may find ice
in the window in the morning. The season March and April in the spring and
October and November in the autumn are the prime months for trekking in the
Everest region. When you wake up early in the next morning for a pre-down start
for the ‘’small’’ 18,000 foot peak called kala pattar, for the spectacularly
famous view of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse.
Flora Fauna Everest Region:
There are not so many animals that can be found near the top
of Mount Everest because it is just too high. This is the highest national park
in the world with the entire park located above 3,000m (9,700ft), in this park
includes three highest peaks more than 8,000mincluding Mt Everest. Nepal is a paradise of flora and fauna,
ranging from the subtropical forest of the Terai to the great peak of the Himalayan
in the north. The conditions are very cold and there isn’t as much oxygen so
animals have to adapt to survive. Most of the park are in very rugged and step
with its terrain cut by deep river and glacier. Nepal abounds with some of the
most spectacular scenery in the whole of Asia with the variety of flora and
fauna also unparalleled elsewhere in the region. The bottom of Mount Everest
has forests of pine and hemlock trees.
The lower forested zone, birch, juniper, blue pine, firs,
bamboo, and rhododendron grow, above this zone all vegetation are found to be
dwarf or shrubs. Higher up the mountain the trees stop growing because it is
too cold and windy but shrubs still grow under the snow. The rolling densely
wooded hills and broad Dun valleys of the Terai beside different components of
the country were formerly renowned for their abundance and variety of wildlife.
As the altitude increase the plant life and animal life is restricted to
lichens and mosses.
Some of the
endangered animals that are found in this park are musk deer, Himalayan yak,
red panda, snow leopard, and Himalayan black beer. Nepal can still boast richer
and more varied flora and fauna than any other area in Asia. Animals such as
the snow leopard mountain sheep, yak can live in these areas. The snow leopard
were nearly hunted to extinction because of its beautiful coat, mountain tahr
is goat-like animals that lives on the wooded slopes of Everest and mountain is
closely related with wild cattle found on other highland. Beside many animals
such as Himalayan thars, deer, langur monkey, hares, mountain foxes, martens,
and Himalayan wolves are found here.

Everest Trek Accommodation:
Nepal is a very popular country for the trekking in the
Himalayans, that why many of the people come Nepal from all over the world who
love trekking. Trekking lodge is a bit
pretentious to call some village establishment hotels, but the common word in
Nepali for restaurant or eating place is known as hotel. In the Nepali word for
small hotel is known as bhatti. Many innkeepers specify the service they
provide by calling by their establishments Hotel and Lodge. During the trekking season there is a daily
rush for space in hotel, in that time of heavy demand, such as during a flight
back-up to lukla, Many hotels have menus that show their prices, including the
charges of sleeping.
Tea house accommodation is available during the
Everest base camp Trek,
Gokyo Lake, Everest Cho la Pass,
Jiri to Everest Base and
Everest Three Pass Trek period with basic facilities. In the Everest region, in particular,
this can be dangerous because of the elevation gain and the chance of altitude
sickness. In the Everest region the average cost for a night is US$ 3 to 15,
price depend on the height of place and standard service like attach bathroom
or common, dormitory, other factor. Reputed tea house provide thick matter with
clean bed cover and very warm blanket also. You might think that, since Nepal
is underdeveloped so the hotel and lodge facility will poor, but the completely
wrong now there is a number of luxury hotel and lodge for the trekkers. Average cost starts from US$ 150 per person
per night on BB basic.
For the human being food is one of necessary things. As we
preparing for our recent trek to Mt Everest Base Camp, immensely curious as to
what kind of food we would be eating for 12 days. While food was obviously no
five- star dining experience, it was much more satisfying and tasty then we
could have ever expected. At the trekking lodges, tea is served in thermoses of
various sizes Paste your text here and click on "Next" to observe

Click "Select Samples". You’ll fire a further tea bag or better of
all bring your own tea with you; otherwise, the standard of tea can typically
causes you to nervous. When eating breakfast on the Everest Base Camp trek, we
usually prefer a generous portion of oatmeal, fried eggs and Tibetan bread.
Whilst trekking, ask your guide or bearer to recommend a tea
house or lodge where you can have lunch and which will serve good hiking food. During
your day‘s you will usually encounter several settlements along the trekking
route where you can have a lunch. Most of the tea house offers a set breakfast
which usually consists of toast, eggs, potatoes, and tea and coffee. In some
tea houses you can get freshly made chapati inside of toast, which is a nice
change of pace. Dinner is usually eaten in the lodge where you stay overnight.
At the lodge, each room has its own order notebook in which write the order -
name of the meal, quantity and price after studying the menu. If the trekker
arrives with own meal, the accommodation charge increase dramatically and can
reach 1000-1200 Rs per night.

The winter is very
cold and snow may make difficult to travel higher than tangboche, in the summer

May is the good time to see the hedgerows and trees bursting into bloom with rhododendron. The view is
