Things need to know before departure

Difficulty of Everest View Trek

The Everest View Trek is considered a reasonable trek, suitable for trekkers with a fundamental fitness and hiking experience. Due to the region's high altitude, it doesn't involve extreme altitudes or lengthy durations of more challenging treks like Everest Base Camp or Three Passes, but it still requires preparation and acclimatization.

Depending on the itinerary, the trek typically spans 5-7 days, with daily hikes ranging from 4-6 hours on average. The trails include gradual ascents and descents through varying terrain, from forested paths to rocky slopes and occasional steep sections. Trekkers should be prepared for altitude gains up to around 3,800 meters (12,500 feet), reaching the highest point at Tengboche Monastery.

While the trek doesn't involve technical climbing or extreme physical demands, it's essential to maintain a steady pace and allow time for acclimatization to prevent altitude-related issues. Trekking in the Everest region also involves unpredictable weather conditions, so being prepared with suitable clothing and gear is necessary for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Note: Prices are approximate and subject to change based on currency exchange rates, trekking season, and specific trek itinerary. It's advisable to confirm costs and make early reservations, especially for flights and accommodations during peak trekking seasons in the Everest region.

Electricity on Everest view tTrek

Tea houses and lodges along the expedition route rely on alternative energy sources like solar panels or small hydroelectric systems. While many accommodations offer electricity, availability can be inconsistent, especially at higher altitudes or during adverse weather conditions.

Trekkers should expect limited access to power and plan accordingly for charging devices. Charging facilities are typically available for a fee, and it's advisable to carry a portable power bank to ensure devices remain charged throughout the trek.

Internet Access

Wi-Fi access in tea houses and lodges is sporadic and typically limited to common areas such as dining halls or reception areas. The quality and reliability of Wi-Fi connections vary widely, and trekkers may encounter slow speeds due to remote locations and limited bandwidth.

Mobile data coverage from providers like Ncell and Nepal Telecom is available in some parts of the region. Still, it needs to grow at higher altitudes and in more remote areas. Trekkers should manage expectations regarding internet access and view it as an occasional luxury rather than a reliable resource.

Tips for Connectivity

Plan by informing family and friends about limited communication capabilities during the trek. Consider using offline maps or trekking apps and establish alternative emergency communication methods. Clutch the opportunity to disconnect from digital distractions and fully immerse oneself in the Everest region's natural beauty and cultural richness.

ATMs on Everest View Trek

Access to ATMs along the Everest View Trek route is limited, especially in remote and high-altitude areas. Trekkers should plan by withdrawing enough cash in Kathmandu before starting the trek. In Lukla, the starting point is that ATMs exist but may only sometimes be reliable due to technical issues or cash shortages.

Namche Bazaar, a larger village on the route, has a few ATMs, but availability can vary, and queues can be extended during peak seasons. Smaller towns and remote trekking areas generally do not have ATMs at all.

Trekkers need to carry enough Nepali Rupees (NPR) in cash to cover accommodation, meals, and other expenses throughout the trek. Credit cards are rarely accepted in tea houses and lodges, so cash remains the preferred payment method.
