Everest base camp trek cost

Location Kalapatthar and Base Camp: Gorak Shep is a small settlement located at an altitude (5,140 Meters) (16,942 feet) in the Everest region of Nepal. It is the last village on the trekking route before reaching Everest Base (5,364 meters) Camp. Kala Patthar is a famous viewpoint located at an altitude (5,545 Meters) (18,192 feet) near Gorak Shep.

Highlights from Kalapatthar: The trek from Gorak Shep to Kala Patthar is known for its breathtaking views of Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, as well as other stunning Himalayan peaks such as Nuptse, Lhotse, and Changtse. Kala Patthar offers one of the best vantage points to witness the sunrise over Mount Everest, which is a surreal and awe-inspiring experience.

Walking Trail: The trail from Gorak Shep to Kala Patthar is steep and challenging, with rocky terrain and thin air due to the high altitude. Trekkers need to be physically fit and acclimatized to the altitude to undertake this part of the trek. The trail usually takes around 2-3 hours to ascend from Gorak Shep to Kala Patthar, and it involves a climb of around 400 meters (1,312 feet). The effort is rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.

Toilet & Bathroom: On the Annapurna, Langtang & Everest trek, shared toilet facilities are more common than en-suite bathrooms. They may be located in the main building or an outhouse. There are two types of toilets: Western-style and squat. Places at higher altitudes tend to have more basic amenities. It’s a good idea to bring your toilet paper and soap, as well as hand sanitizer. Toilet paper is usually disposed of in a trash can next to the toilet (or a battered old metal can). Scoop water from a nearby bucket with whatever receptacle you have to flush the squat toilet.

Gorackshep(5,140m)

Everest base camp trek cost

Dining Room service:  Meals are always served in the dining room, so you can meet other trekkers there. In higher accommodations, the dining room usually has a fire around dinnertime.

Hot Shwor Possible: Over the first few days, you’ll find hot showers, but chances diminish as you climb up the mountain. As a fuel for cooking and heating, the gas must be transported by mules. but there might be very little pressure under the spray in a cold room. When you reach more than 3000 meters high you get cold. But hotel people will charge little money for the hitter charge.

Drinking water: Bottles of water are easily available during the trekking route of Nepal. But you cannot use plastic bottles in Everest and Annapurna regions. So, they don’t sell plastic mineral water, therefore, you can take boiled water from the lodge which costs 100/300 per bottle Nepali rupees. It is better to use water purification drops and tablets which you can either bring from your country or can buy in Kathmandu.

First time to walk in the Mountains: Whatever your fitness level, as long as you can walk for 5-6 hours a day and trek-hike a few uphills, Nepal Alsace Trek & Expedition will help you to realize your dream of seeing the Everest base camp trek.

If we need to charge batteries: In most of the trekking regions, there is electricity whereby you will be able to charge your iPod, mobile, and Camera batteries but they charge you extra money 100 to 400 Nepali rupees per hour.

If you need a communication service: In Kathmandu, you can buy Ncell sim cards almost anywhere. These cards are very helpful when trekking to Namche, Gokyo Valley, and Lobuche. In most places, Ncell’s network coverage is excellent, except the Everest region trekking area.
