Good to know

Before embarking on the Everest Base Camp Trek, there are a few essential details to keep in mind that will enhance your experience.

Participants should arrive with a high level of physical fitness and should consult with a physician prior to the trek to ensure they are well-prepared. Lastly, it’s advised to pack light, as trekkers are expected to carry their own luggage, with a recommended weight limit of under 22 lbs (10 kg).
