Climate
Everest Base Camp Trekking is possible at any time of the year on where you are going. Generally speaking, the best months to trek are October-November (post-monsoon) and April-May (pre-monsoon). It is possible to trek throughout the year but trekkers must be aware that bad/ freak weather can strike in any season. Trekking Season in Nepal are details of trekking conditions throughout the year:
Trip Grading
Grade 3 – Difficulty
Of course bit challenging, better to have some previous mountain walking experience generally trekking at altitudes up to 4,000m/13000 ft with side trips to higher elevation. Could be ascending up to 500m per day involving some steep climbing. Some treks included here will, in part, be well away from villages on hill- defined mountain trails.
For a popular and spectacular trek, with the possibility of staying in well-developed tea houses, Everest Base Camp is a good choice. A gradual ascent through a green river valley will lead you up to a number of high passes, where you will reach the altitude up to 5000m. For a real adventure in wild.
Acclimatization and high altitude sickness
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)
Commonly called altitude sickness, this has the potential to affect all trekkers from 2500m and higher. Your body needs days to adjust to smaller quantities of oxygen in the air - at 5500m/18,044ft the air pressure is approximately half that of sea level, ie there is half the amount of oxygen (and nitrogen).
For treks below an altitude of about 3000m/10,000ft it is not normally a problem. AMS is caused by going up high too fast and can be fatal if all the warning signals are ignored. Note that it is not the actual altitude, but the speed at which you reach higher altitudes which causes the problems.
Altitude sickness is preventable. Go up slowly, giving your body enough time to adjust. These are the 'safe' rates for the majority of trekkers: spend 2-3 nights between 2000m/6562ft and 3000m/10,000ft before going higher. From 3000m sleep an average of 300m/1000ft higher each night with a rest day every 900-1000m/3000ft. ultimately it is up to you to recognize the symptoms, and only ascend if you are relatively symptom-free.
Our Everest Adventure Trekking starts two full days acclimatization before reaching over 4900m. It helps trekkers to be acclimatizing with altitude and get to the point without altitude problem.
