Everest Base Camp Trekking Difficulty
Everest Base Camp Trek is an adventurous journey, so the trek is defined as a challenging adventure in the Khumbu region. EBC Trekking route consists of numerous uphill and downhill climbs with stone staircases, which can be tiresome. Some of the sections are steeply up and down along with the walk through the rocky moraines and glacial route. So, during the trek, we recommend at least a couple of breaks that will help to face the challenge and complete your mission to reach Everest Base Camp (5364 meters) and Kalapathar (5555 meters). However, in winter, the trail becomes extra challenging after the snowfall to scramble through the snowy route.

You don’t need to take any specific lessons for physical fitness or any training, but making yourself physically fit in your own way is important. Besides, there are many examples every year that even the children and senior citizens have successfully completed the trek. Everest Base Camp and Gorakshep are the higher points that ultimately break the excursion above 5000 meters altitude above sea level.

If you feel unexpectedly tiredness, insomnia, and other symptoms, you need to follow some procedures like:

Solo vs Group Trekking in Everest Base Camp
Do we usually get this query about which one is better- single or with a group? It cannot be answered in judgmental language in fact. Some people find it amazing with the group, sharing ideas, having fun, enjoying, chatting and laughing about different topics. They love group traveling. This created a mashed-up concept of traveling with multiple languages and cultures.
Solo trekking is good for those who do not want to travel with strangers and love to do a peaceful journey in the Himalayas. Some solo female trekkers doubts about the safety matter, which is not a matter to worry about as we have operated numerous trekking for the solo female trekkers. If you love to walk in your own way with peace of mind, with music and enjoy nature in your own way, then you book for solo trekking.
