Rapid Everest Base Camp Trek Beginning From.

The Everest Base Camp Rapid Trek begins from the capital city of Kathmandu. The scenic flight takes you across to the small Himalayan town of Lukla. Once you are here you will start your trek towards reaching the village of Phakding.

This is an incredible village of Khumbu filled with excellent mountain views, culture, and historical wonders. You will acclimatize here for a day take a rest and explore if you feel like it.

 The next day the walk takes you ahead on a scenic trail to reach beautiful Tengboche, surrounded by green vegetation as well snow-capped mountain including Mt Everest. As you walk you will come across tall tree lines with an array of peaks with views of Mt. Everest and magnificent Ama Dablam.  Here you will visit the all-important Tengboche Monastery; one of the biggest and most famous Buddhist monasteries in the Khumbu area.

A move on from Tengboche Monastery will take you towards exciting tree lines, pure wilderness, and windy landscapes. Dingboche is the next destination where you will be heading for.

You do not require any kind of technical expertise or mountaineering skills to trek to the Everest Base Camp. There are also no high passes to cross. The only thing you need to be aware of is the altitude. If you do acclimatize properly, eat the right food, and drinks and rest enough, and trek with an experienced guide and porter then you need not worry.

  • It is practically impossible to take the helicopter to the top of Everest. The air is just too thin for most helicopters to produce enough power to lift and remain airborne. Besides that, the type of weather is strong enough to bring down any helicopter.

  • On the Rapid Everest base camp trek, the helicopter flies at an altitude ranging from 4,000 m to 5,500 meters high or above in some areas (18000 feet). Flying above 5,000m allows you to get close views of the mountains of the region and beyond other peaks of the Himalayas.

  • Preparing before trekking to the Everest Base Camp is always a wise decision. You should include and improve your cardio endurance, build stamina, and be comfortable carrying a daypack uphill for long periods at a time. Ideally, you should prepare on a regular basis for at least a couple of weeks before your trek. Try and begin hiking or taking long walks at least 1 day per week. All your focus should be on duration rather than distance.

  • It is always advisable to carry safe drinking water with you wherever you travel/trek. However, you can buy a bottle of mineral water along the way from Lodge.  Our guide also brings a water purification tablet, if you need you can ask and take it from the guide.

Hence, adequate insurance is an essential requirement. You need to make sure that the insurance that you have covers helicopter rescue & medical evacuation expenses at high altitudes.
