Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulties

Everest Base Camp Trek definitely is not a luxury trek. Even if you hire porters to carry your luggage throughout the trek, ultimately, it will be you who have to walk up to the Base Camp. You will be continuously walking for about 5-6 hours per day for 11 days.

The Everest Base Camp trek is a challenging trek that involves hiking at high altitudes, rugged terrain, and unpredictable weather conditions. Some of the difficulties that trekkers may encounter during the trek include:

High Altitude: The trek involves hiking at an altitude of over 5,000 meters, which can cause altitude sickness if proper acclimatization is not followed. Symptoms of altitude sickness can include headache, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath.

Rugged Terrain: The trail is steep and rocky in some sections, and can be slippery and difficult to navigate in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or ice.

Weather Conditions: Weather in the Himalayas can be unpredictable, and trekkers may encounter rain, snow, high winds, and extreme temperatures.

Physical Endurance: The trek involves hiking for several hours each day, with some sections involving steep ascents and descents. Trekkers need to be physically fit and prepared for the rigors of the trek.

Accommodation and Facilities: Accommodation on the trail is basic, and facilities such as toilets and showers are limited. Trekkers need to be prepared to rough it out and adjust to a simple lifestyle.

Remote Location: The trek takes place in a remote region of Nepal, and medical facilities are limited. In case of any medical emergencies, trekkers need to be prepared to be airlifted to Kathmandu for treatment.

Best Season to Trek Everest Base Camp

The best time to do the Everest Base Camp trek is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons.

During the spring season, the weather is mild and stable, with clear skies and moderate temperatures. The rhododendron forests are in full bloom, making for a stunningly beautiful trek. This is also the busiest season for trekking, and the trail can be crowded.

In the autumn season, the weather is cooler, with dry and clear days. The skies are also generally clearer, providing better views of the mountains. This season is also less crowded than the spring season, which can provide a more peaceful and quiet trek.

Jumla Dunai (Dolpo)

Dolpo is a remote region of Nepal, protected by the Shey Phoksumdo National Park. The Dollop region has been bypassed by development and, until recently, by tourism. Because the district was closed to foreigners until 1989, only a few anthropologists and geographers explored it.
 
Even today it receives only a few visitors. But, one can explore parts starting from Jamal, one of the world’s highest rice-growing areas in the world. It goes through the Tila valley with its unique red rice until we reach Duane. This trek can be extended on request with 5 days to Phoksumdo Lake, entering the inner parts of Dollop and views over the deepest lake of Nepal.

Upper Dolpo

This trek takes place in the northwest region of Nepal. Dolpo lies in the Phoksundo National park of mid-western Nepal. Behind the Dhaulagiri massif and towards the Tibetan plateau. The area is cut off by a series of very high passes and closed by the snow all around the year.
As it is one of the remotest and least exposed areas of Nepal, it offers rare opportunities to explore the near-virgin territory and meet people. It is all isolated by the difficult topography, almost unexposed to tourism. Because Dolpo is so close to Tibet’s border, people of Tibetan origin inhabit it. The trek provides chances to visit several unique monasteries (gompas).

Kanchanjunga South Base Camp

Kanchanjunga (8598m) is on the border between Nepal and the Indian state of Sikkim. The Kanchanjunga is the world’s third-highest mountain. It was first conquered in 1956. This region is home to the Limbus, who are relatives of the Rais. They are thought to have ruled the Kathmandu valley from the 7th century BC until around 300 AD.
 
They then moved into the steep hill country of eastern Nepal, from the Arun valley to the Sikkim border. They still remain there. They are easily distinguishable by their Mongolian features. Many of the men still carry a large kukri (traditional curved knife) tucked into their belts and wear a Dhaka topi (Nepali hat).
 
Many people might not be aware of this. But the drink named Tongba, which we all love to taste is the contribution of Limbu culture. A wooden pot is filled with fermented seeds and boiling water. You drink the potent mixture through a bamboo straw, with tiny filters to keep the seeds out.
