When to go (Best Season to Travel)
Autumn (Mid-September-Mid December) and Spring (March-May) are the best season for the EBC trekking. The weather
during the season is sunny and warm during the day that offers you to enjoy the magnificent view of the Himalayan
range whereas the nights are chilling and cold and can fall to freezing in the higher elevations. Winter (Dec, Jan and Feb)
is also ideal for EBC trek but cold is something that bothers you. Trekking during summer will be affected by rain but
Breakfree Adventures Pvt. Ltd.

Everest Base Camp Trekking
summer trek could be a boon of a keen botanist. The trekking routes are always busy with trekkers during spring and
autumn but during monsoon and winter the routes are not packed and crowded and you can have a great journey
enjoying the scenic views.
Travel Insurance:
Travel insurance is highly recommended for trekkers who plan their trekking in the Himalayas. Travel insurance is
mandatory while going for trekking, hiking etc in Nepal. Please make sure that your insurance policy covers personal
injury, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, helicopter rescue, loss of luggage, etc. We strongly recommend that
your policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Please check
with your insurance company that adventure activities and trekking above 3000m are covered by your policy. You must
carry proof of insurance (i.e. your insurance certificate) with you during your expedition.
Meals and Accommodation:
We will arrange three or similar hotel for your accommodation (Upgradable upon request) in Kathmandu. During the
EBC trek we provide the best available guest house which is called Tea house/Lodge. Tea Houses are like hotels that
serve with hot showers, western foods and private rooms (twin sharing). Some guest houses are ordinary guest house
with shared washing and toilet facilities and comparatively cheap in price. If you are travelling in a group, you will share
a room with one of the group member with same sex. If you wish to stay single in a room then you have to let us know
in advance and some surcharges are applicable in such case. Please be noted that there are several guest houses that do
not allow a single accommodation during the peak season so sharing the room with somebody becomes a compulsion.
We will arrange your dinner and early breakfast in the guest house itself but the lunches will be arranged in some
restaurants en route. Your stay at a local guest house helps you to be more familiar with local culture and traditions.
Breakfree Adventures is highly concerned about the standard of food and make sure that sufficient food is provided to
our guest. A special menu will be offered so that you could choose the kind of food you like to eat. A cup of tea or coffee
would be included in your meal menu. Our guide will always be there to assist you while choosing the food from the
menu. The menu comes with comparatively high price due to the availability of food items and spices and extreme
locations. Most of the tea houses serve you with delicious local cuisines along with international foods. You can get food
items like biscuits, chocolates, cold drinks, soft drinks and seasonal fruits and veggies. Bottled water is always available
in the tea house and restaurants or shops en route. You may ask your guide to fill the bottle with boiled water from the
lodges and purify them with purification pills.
Fitness and Experience Required:
Our 15 days Everest Base Camp Trek is moderate trek suitable for passionate trekkers who have the ability to walk at
least four to six hours a day. Some days you might even need to walk seven to eight hours. Walking in higher altitude is
rather challenging and it requires a lot of physical caliber. A good physique, positive altitude, self confidence and strong
determination are the keys to success to successfully accomplish the EBC trek. Prior preparation like walking or jogging
few hours a day before starting your trek is beneficial and it simplifies your expedition. Past hiking experience would be

Acclimatization:
Breakfree Adventures fifteen days Everest Base Camp trekking is planned with high degree of awareness about Acute
Mountain Sickness (AMS). Trekking in the higher altitude too fast might cause a medical condition serious enough to
cause death. The level of oxygen fluctuates as the height increases. For example, at an altitude above 5000m, there is
50% less oxygen than at sea level. Our body requires many days to adapt the less-oxygen environment so the itinerary
should be planned accordingly. Our itinerary is planned in such a way that it provides sufficient time for acclimatization.
Sensible trek plan is therefore very crucial to minimize the risk of AMS. Breakfree Adventures highly advises specially the
guests with known heart, blood or respiratory diseases to consult their medical professional before travelling. Mild

Everest Base Camp Trekking
headaches, fever, loss of appetite or stomach disorder are symptoms of AMS. Our leaders are well trained to administer
the AMS. Breakfree Adventures’s itineraries are designed to avert the risk of AMS as much as possible.
Safety and Security:
We do not compromise on safety and security of our guests. We highly prioritize safety and security measures during
the trek. We have to understand that there are certain risks while travelling in higher altitude which you should consider
before booking. Our trip operators constantly monitor their areas of operation and trekking trail and they would cancel
or re-route a trip if they feel any destination is unsafe to travel.
