Rooms are basic, normally just a bed with a pillow, blankets. A few have electric lights and all have a spacious dining room-lounge. We eat at teahouses and, although the food is usually plentiful and delicious, the menu is not extensive. They offer a variety of potatoes, rice and noodle dishes, as well as soup and seasonal vegetables. Beers and local spirits are often available, but that will be at your own cost. A variety of cereals, bread, and egg dishes are generally available for breakfast. There are also snacks available such as basic biscuits, chocolate, and soft drinks and in some areas, you will find fresh fruit in season. It is normal to meet your porter in the teahouse where you will stay overnight. So, pack your necessary things in your own day pack.

Good physical fitness and proper acclimatization are crucial for a successful trek.
Yes, having a guide is highly recommended for the Everest Base Camp trek. The trail traverses remote and rugged areas, and a guide will ensure safety, smooth navigation, and proper acclimatization. Guides also provide valuable insights into the local culture, history, and landscapes, and they can assist with any issues, such as changing plans due to weather-related flight delays in Lukla.
Yes, you need two special permits for the Everest Base Camp Trek: the Everest National Park Entry Permit and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Permit. These permits allow you to access the region and trek in the Everest area. Read more about permits and their costs for EBC.

If you experience symptoms like dizziness or headaches, inform your guide immediately so they can follow the necessary protocols.
