FAQs on Mount Everest Base Camp Trek

1. How fit do I need to be for this trek ? Can people of my age do this trek ?
Everyone with good fitness and without any physical problems can do this trek. Doing exercises like swimming , jogging etc before arriving Nepal will help a lot. The most important things to consider for a successful Everest trek are right amount of walking and enough rest - at least two days of rest /acclimatization . We have seen over the years that very fit young people had to abandon the trek where as people in their sixties doing it very comfortably. This is simply because those young people did not take enough rest and neglected the advice on altitude sickness.

2. What if we can not fly from Lukla to Kathmandu on the planned day due to bad weather ?
This is usual problem during summer and also during January and February. So , you are advised to have one spare day incase of flight cancellations and also suggested to do the Kathmandu sightseeing at the end of the trek because in case of flight cancellation you can use the sightseeing day as an extra day for the trek.

3. What kind of food do I get in the trek ? What is a mountain lodge like ?
You get a la carte menu to choose the food from and mostly the food is continental and Nepali.The mountain lodges are simple family run inns with good basic facilities like clean bed and toilets but do not expect luxury on them. Some of them have attached baths and at some of them , you have to share bathroom with often two other rooms.
