                          Accommodation during the Luxury EBC Trekking With Heli Return

                          We primarily offer five-star hotel stays in Kathmandu along with upscale teahouses and cosy lodges for the trek during the Luxury Trekking to Everest Base Camp. Any facilities that are available in the Khumbu region of Nepal are available for you during your trek.

                          Food during EBC Trek

                          During the Everest Trek, we will normally serve three luxury meals per day. The package includes all of your meals during the trip. But it's important to remember that the distance and altitude of the place may have an impact on the quantity and accessibility of the food you desire.

                          Nonetheless, we will make sure you have enough nutritious food to fuel your journey through the Everest region. You can eat Nepali and international food while trekking.

                          During your Luxury EBC Trekking, you can anticipate the following menu items:

                          • Dal, Bhat, Tarkari

                          It is highly recommended that you bring snacks like protein bars, nuts, and dry fruits to help you refuel while travelling through the Himalayas.

                          In order for us to prepare the proper meals, it's also best to let us know ahead of time if you have any special dietary requirements, such as being vegetarian or gluten-free.

                          Permit for Luxury Everest Heli Trek

                          Before you can start your Everest Base Camp Trek, you need to obtain three permits. Permits are required for the Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS), Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Area, and Sagarmatha National Park.

                          The prices for the permits are as follows: 

                          • Sagarmatha National Park Permit: 3000 NPR
                          • Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Permit: 3000 NPR
                          • Trekkers Information Management System (TIMS Permit): 2000 NPR

                          Note: Trekkers don't have to worry about permits because our Premium Everest Trek with Helicopter return package covers them all.

                          Travel Insurance

                          To ensure safety and prevent unforeseen events, anyone beginning high-altitude trekking in the Khumbu region must have travel insurance. You can travel safely and securely with the help of travel insurance.

                          We suggest getting travel insurance that covers risky activities like hiking in high-altitude regions for peace of mind. Furthermore, helicopter evacuation up to 6000 metres should be covered by your insurance.

                          Best season to do the Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal

                          The best seasons for the EBC journey are thought to be spring and autumn, which are when most hikers choose to go. For these kinds of Himalayan adventures, springtime brings clear skies and typical weather. Along the Everest route, lovely flowers and greenery are added.

                          However, Nepal's festival season begins in the fall and might fall during your hike. As festivals like Dashain and Tihar are observed during this time, you have a fantastic opportunity to learn about Nepali culture.

                          There are certain dangers during off-seasons like the winter and monsoon seasons. It is strongly advised that you consult your travel companion before choosing such a package. Adventure seekers can enjoy a thrilling experience and fewer tourists when trekking on Everest during the off-season. 

                          Guide and porter service during the 12 Days Luxury EBC Trek with Helicopter Return

                          Guides are necessary for the challenging trek in the Khumbu region. As a result, Mount Glory Treks will provide you with a group of experienced Sherpa guides and porters to help you along the way.  Our organisation also pays for the guides' meals, travel expenses, and insurance.

                          For hikers in groups of up to eight, our packages come with one guide. To make things easier, we will add an assistant guide if there are more than eight people in the group.

                          Because they are responsible for transporting your bulky bags and luggage, porters are also essential to your trip. Since trekking in Nepal's difficult Everest region is almost impossible without porters, we include them in our package. There is a porter who can transport up to 25 kg of equipment for every two hikers. 

                          You will receive first-rate Sherpa guides and porters for this luxury Everest trek who speak English fluently and have received emergency training.

                          Altitude Sickness & How to Prevent It

                          Altitude sickness is a serious issue for hikers on the Everest Region Trail because of the elevation. Travellers should be aware of their symptoms and take the appropriate precautions to prevent serious problems.

                          Altitude sickness can be prevented or managed with the help of the following advice:

                          • Acclimatise to the altitude gradually; do not walk too fast.
                          • Avoid alcohol and too much caffeine, and drink lots of water.
                          • Go to lower elevations if symptoms worsen or persist.
                          • Please don't overdo it; pay attention to your body.
                          • Before starting the walk, acclimatisation is essential.
                          • Obtain medical attention if you're feeling sick.
                          • Consume a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates and electrolytes.
