Know Before You Go

The best time for the Everest base Camp 12 days Hike

The Everest Base Camp 12 Days Hike can be completed throughout the year. However, each season offers a different experience. Here's a short description of each season for the trek:

Spring (March to May)
Spring is considered the best time for the 12 Days Everest Base Camp trek. The weather is usually mild, with clear skies and stable temperatures during this time of the year.

The trail is further decorated with vibrant rhododendron flowers in full bloom, adding color to the landscape. Spring also offers the best view of the mountains without any obstruction.

Summer/Monsoon (June to August)
The summer or monsoon months falling from June to August are not considered an ideal time for the trek as it brings regular rainfall. Trekking during this time can be challenging due to heavy rainfalls, slippery trails, and little mountain views due to clouds.

However, the advantage of trekking in the monsoon is that the trail is filled with lush greenery, and you will get to enjoy the route with fewer trekkers. It is highly recommended that you prepare proper gear, including rain protection, for trekking in the monsoon.

Autumn (September to November)
Autumn is another popular and ideal time for the 12 Days Everest trek. The weather is stable and dry, with clear skies during this time of the year.

Autumn is considered one of the best seasons to witness excellent views of the mountains. The trails are in excellent condition, and the mountain views are spectacular during this time, making trekking a lot easier. However, keep in mind that Autumn receives a large number of trekkers and expects more crowds along the trail.

Winter (December to February)
Winter is not an ideal time to embark on the Everest Base Camp 12 Days Trek, as it brings colder temperatures and snowfall to the Everest region.

Trekking during this time can be challenging due to the cold temperatures, and the teahouses can be closed because of the harsh weather. Furthermore, the trails can be blocked because of the heavy snowfall. However, if you are an experienced trekker seeking an adventurous trek, winter can be a rewarding time to explore.

Accommodation options during the 12 days of Everest Base Camp Trek

Accommodation facilities you will get during the 12 days Everest base camp trek range from basic teahouses to luxury lodges along the route.

The lodges provide you with comfortable rooms with twin beds or dormitory-style accommodations. Blankets and pillows are provided. However, you can bring your sleeping bag for comfort.

The tea houses usually have communal dining areas where you can enjoy meals and socialize. Keep in mind that as you move to a higher altitude, the quality of the accommodation may decrease.

Food choice and drinking water facilities during the Everest 12 Days journey

The food options you will have during the trip range from traditional Nepali food to some international cuisine. The tea houses and lodges along the route offer a variety of meals. 

The menu typically includes Dal Bhat (a traditional Nepali meal of rice, lentil soup, and curry) for lunch and dinner, which is a popular and nutritious choice. You can also have dishes like; pasta, momo, pizza, burgers, etc. in some of the lodges and teahouses.

It's important to note that the higher you ascend, the more limited the food choices become, and the prices may increase due to the difficulty of transportation.

As for drinking water along the route, you can easily get access to tap water. However, it is advisable to bring a reusable water bottle and use water purification tablets or filters to protect the water from harmful bacteria.

Permits required for the EBC 12 Days Trek

There are two different permits needed for the EBC 12-day Trek, which is explained below:

  • TIMS Card (Trekkers' Information Management System): The TIMS card is a trekking permit that you need to have to trek to any part of Nepal, which helps manage trekkers' information and ensures their safety. For the Everest region, the cost of the TIMS card for foreign trekkers is approximately USD 20.

Details about the Cost of 12 Days of Everest Base Camp Trekking

The 12-day Everest Base Camp trekcost can vary depending on several factors, including the type of trip (group or private), level of accommodation facilities, itinerary, and other services included.

Useful info and tips for the Everest Base Camp 12 days

  • Ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking at high altitudes.

  • Listen to your body and notify your guide immediately if you experience any symptoms of altitude sickness.
  • Carry sufficient cash, as ATMs are not available along the trekking route.
  • Respect the local culture, customs, and environment while trekking.
  • If possible, try trekking in the spring and autumn seasons to avoid risks and hassles along the way.
  • Do not expect reliable mobile networks or internet connectivity. Purchase a local SIM card in Kathmandu before starting the trek if you want to have occasional communication.
  • Do not forget to carry a portable power bank to keep your electronic devices charged.
  • Go for a few hikes and treks before the trek to get used to higher altitudes.

Lukla's flight delays and cancellations during the 12-day Everest trip

Flight delays and cancellations during the trip to the Everest region are common events. The trek begins with a flight from Kathmandu to the Tenzing-Hillary airport in Lukla, which is a small single-landing strip airport surrounded by the high Himalayas. There are chances of flight delays and cancellations during your travels to Lukla.

Because of the position and elevation of the place, weather conditions and visibility are hard to forecast and can change rapidly. Consequently, flight schedules to Lukla can be affected. When the weather conditions aren't good and there is the risk of an unsafe landing, the airline doesn't take any risk and returns the flight immediately to Kathmandu. Such flight delays are likely to happen at any time of the year, especially during the monsoon season (late May to early September).

In case of a flight delay, you will have to wait until the flight gets rescheduled. In case of flight cancellation, you can either wait a few days to take the next scheduled flight or take a helicopter flight on the same day.
