It is not like any other country walks, but in Nepal Himalayas with many ups and downhill to encounter. As for Everest, the only difficulty is walking on high altitude and dry terrain, it makes trekkers tired. But one can take it slowly with enough short rest, it will be good to cover the day walks to each overnight stop. Much of the trail is well defined and straightforward towards Everest base camp. Having enough rest days makes the adventure much enjoyable and getting well acclimatized at certain heights.
Nearly all seasons of the year Everest Base Camp is cold during morning and late afternoon till night time, as well in shady areas away from sun-light. But most day is fine and warm when the sun reaches, it can be strong sunlight during the afternoon time, where trekkers need sun-block and necessary protection like a sun hat, sunglass with long sleeve shirt and full pants. Due to strong UV that shines above 3,000 m high, where the air is much thinner. It also depends upon the seasons, like the springtime of March to May with pleasant weather with enough sun, as well in autumn September to November. Morning and nighttime can be freezing cold with an extra wind chill factor.
However cold is always attached to the Himalayas, as you are trekking around the highest region on this planet, where freezing temperatures of arctic cold can be experienced around Himalaya.
Minimum age of 12 to 14 years, and not older than 65 years, should be in good physical shape and in sound health to cope with high hills and altitude.

Most settlements after Dingboche electricity runs by solar energy, where you can charge your gadgets. Where you need to pay for every item per hour to the owner of the lodge.
Depending upon the seriousness of the illness, if it’s a critical situation the client needs immediate evacuation for medical help, by any means of fast transportation.

Great guide, we walked the ACT Grand Circle 3 times, ABC once, and EBC once. He is a very good guide! I am also very happy to know him from the very beginning. He is responsible for the reception of nearly 100 people on our team!
