The Main important Purpose to do the Budget Everest Base Camp Trek is the splendid scene of the grand Himalayas that trekkers observe. Hikers not only observe the mountaintop of Mt. Everest but also numerous huge Himalaya summits including Lhotse, Makalu, and so on.
That’s different than other trekking trails- mainly very near to trekkers’ eyes as on the Budget Everest Trek. EBC Budget is more admired than the lower elevated Himalayan treks of Switzerland, Pakistan or India.
In advance trekkers need to learn the feature about Budget Everest Base Camp Treks, below is a few backgrounds of why Everest is familier for the adventurers in the earth.
The trekking routes of Everest is an traditional one, it was always so well-known. This trek came about the Everest’s first summiter which is occurred in 1953.
During this time Sir Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first summit Mt Everest. Instantly hiking to the highest Himalayas in the world is opened. That summit and trek observation is enormous news to the hikers who emotionally began observing for the trekking replacements of the Alps and Europes.
During that period to Now Everest Base Camp trek appeared the best comfort. EBC trek is pledged to shine nearest to the 1st tallest Himalayas of the world and provides eye-catching scenes of the Khumbu ranges from Kalapatthar hiking summits.
The supreme feature of the Budget Everest trek is the sunset/ sunrise observation on the Everest Himalayan Ranges as well as Makalu. In fact, hikers are not authorized to night camp in EBC, but the views from Kalapatthar and Base Camp are prime benefits for trekkers.
Note: Only Everest Summiters can stay overnight at Base Camp. Trekkers can go there and back to Gorakshep for Overnight. The main cause is they do not have permits to climb over the glaciers and icefalls.
The trekking routes of Everest Base Camp are glorified with the Rhododendron National flower of Nepal. prior the Summer rainy season the flowers flew in Red White and Pink colors. Ebc Trek is an extremely delightful hike along the alpine woodland- long treks on Flower forests.
Chola Tsho Lake is one more beauty on the Everest Base Camp trekking. The scene of the glacial blue waters and the mirror of Mt. Cholatse and Tabuche, mainly in the morning time is optical regards.
Alpine pine forest on the Everest Treks at that higher elevation is rare till 4000m. The fascinating vistas change, viewing Mt. Amadablam from Everest View Hotel with hiking in the early morning to Kalapatthar viewpoints to observe the principal light of the sun falls on Everest those made the Everest trek a lifetime selected journey.
In the world, there are few trekking destinations with some alpine woodland at that kind of higher elevation. For trekkers in India, the tree line finishes at 3,000 m but in Nepal Everest Base Camp treks offer an alpine treeline of 4,000 m. Due to Alpine’s higher elevation treeline, it is one of the beautiful mountain trekking trails for bird-watching holiday seekers.
We will trek along the Dudh Koshi and Imja Valley with lots of suspension bridges over them. Dudh Koshi River and Imja Khola are huge glacial rivers that come from numerous Himalayas glaciers so lots of time trekkers have a chance to explore suspension bridges and gorges during Budget EBC Treks.
Starting from the First day to the fifth day Dingboche can observe lots of Monasteries. Until 4000m elevation at Pangboche also has a Monastery. The Monastery was not accurate at Pangboche. Trekkers are required to hike a bit along the hills.
3 different monasteries are very famous in the Everest region. The biggest Monastery Tyangboche, The oldest Monastery Pangboche, and finally the Khumjung Monastery is famous for the legendary Yeti Skull observation. Tyangboche monastery is famous for meditation as well as Mani Rimdu Festival occurs there during every autumn season for festival seeker trekkers.
The prime day from Kathmandu to Lukla requires a dramatic flight, From the air can observe the different landscapes and countryside settlements with 1000s of snow and Himalayas peaks if you are lucky to sit left windows. After the flights, you can observe some Rhododendron and pine woodland on the way to Phakding.
Other outstanding views on the second day cross the deep Dudhkoshi river valley gorge and deepest suspension bridges with the first Mt Everest scene.
A rest day after gaining 3440m elevation from Kathmandu 1300meter where trekkers sleep Namche at last night. After breakfast, we hike to Everest View Hotel highest elevated 3-star hotel in the world at 3880m. Hiking to Everest View Hotel and Khumjung is very steep but very beautiful and memorable.
Trekkers who just booked the Everest panorama view trekking hike to Everest View Hotel, Khumjung, and Khunde Green Village, and back to Lukla. For them, this hike is the best scenery hiking in this trek.
The sunshine changes the light of Mt. Lhotse Sar and Amadablam was incredible. Trekkers not get only those scenes but also wide ranges of Everest, Tabuche, Cholatse, Thamserku, Kangtega, and Mt. Kusum with Kongde. It is a dramatic hike for all trekkers in their lives.
The second unforgettable adventure experience of this trek is acclimatization day hiking in Nagsarkang Peak offers the sun arrows that change the colors of Makalu dramatically. That steep hike from Dingboche 4410 to Nagsarkang 5083m is very worth our Budget Everest treks.
Not finished yet when the next day trekking over Thukla Village can observe the beautiful Chola Glacial Lake Chola Tsho Lake with very cleanest blue water and the mirror of the Chola Himalayas which is near the Everest climbers memorial parks.
The Ultimate and final hiking is Kalapatthar which is our whole trekking highest elevated hill even more than Everest Base Camp. If you love to explore the prime rays of sun falls in Everest you need to hike in the morning 2 hours prior then sunrise whereas if you love to see the last sunray changes in Mt. Everest you need to hike 2 hours of Sunset.
The trekkers who Budget Everest Base Camp Trek in the beginning day hike Kalapatthar for sunrise. If trekkers sunset hike to Kalapatthar they hike Everest base camp for the following day. Both Sunrise and sunset from Kalapatthar are worth visiting. Everest Base Camp is worth to sightseeing tour for glaciers and icefalls.
Finish observed first lights on the world’s highest Himalayas Mt Everest with a dramatic change by lights. Few travelers are happy weeping by this amazing journey.
Trekkers learn something different in the Budget Everest Base Camp trek as compared to other routes. Although the journey is just 120 kilometers around in 11 days. Just around 11 kilometers a day but higher elevation, slow walking, and altitude sickness give the perfect challenge for endurance.

Two specific trekking seasons in Nepal. March to May (spring) and (September 15 to December 15) Autumn.
Two distinct times provide their own beauty so one season trek is just an information bit. Everest National park area is the adobe of dazzling diversity of flowers collection in antiquated woodland. That woodland converts its color in two dissimilar seasons.
Spring is famous for its flowering time whereas Autumn is well known for its sharp and regular weather and its stable scenery.
The Attractiveness of trekking Everest in the Spring season is observing the colorful Rhododendron national flower blooming which is principally blooming in mid-April. So the pre-monsoon alpine forests provide distinct colors of white pink and red flowers. The rhododendron flower increases till Debuche and slowly finishes in higher elevations. So the Rhododendron is the supernatural heart touch for Everest Budget trekkers.
Note: Even Everest treks provide an opportunity to experience the beauty of rhododendron flowers, not the best trek to see the variety of flowers. Ghorepani Poonhill trek in spring in the Annapurna region is the best to experience flower trekking.
The Everest Base Camp trek’s price might change depending on a number of variables, including the time of year, the length of the trip, the itinerary, lodging, and transportation. Although it is feasible to complete the walk on a tight budget, it’s crucial to remember that excessive cost-cutting can jeopardize safety, comfort, and fun. The following advice will help you complete the Everest Base Camp expedition on a tight budget:
Depending on the level of comfort and service, the whole cost of the Everest Base Camp trek might range from USD 600 to USD 2000 or more.

Note: 230 Volt c and d type of travel adapter useful in Nepal trekking and traveling. In case if you forget to bring you can buy this in Kathmandu for a couple of dollars.

Lower elevation teahouses have a hot shower either by solar or by Gas whereas higher elevation provides hot water in the bucket because of flowing water freezing. Normally they charge US$ 3 to 5 for a hot shower per person per shower.
Ans: Only some teahouses have laundry facilities during the trekking.

Ans: Yes, we can tell it’s safe according to our past trekking experience. But before eat your food please check if it’s well cooking or not. Water needs to treat safely before drinking because our natural water has lots of minerals. We can digest it but trekkers cannot be. Do not eat uncooked vegetables in Kathmandu. During the trekking meat is not fresh so beware before you eat meat items.
Ans: Nepal Mountain is obviously cold no doubt. Depends on the season and timing the temperature a lot of changes. Trekking in higher elevation will much colder than lower elevation. Normally during the high season of trekking day time hike not very cold you can hike with normal light hiking gear but in tea, houses say at night it will very cold. The temperature falls until negative 20 degrees at Everest base camp. But depends on elevation the temperature is different. Trek to Everest Base Camp in the wintertime is Very cold so the temperature falls to negative 40 degrees in Everest Base Camp. To prepare your trekking gear please consult with us before your departure.
Ans: Due to weather anytime the Lukla flight delayed or canceled. If you have a buffer day you can make your trek flexible. But if you have no extra day you can decrease your acclimatization day or you need to fly back from Everest Base camp to Lukla or Kathmandu by helicopter with extra add-on cost. Sometimes the weather is bad but the chopper can fly to Lukla. For this flight, you need to pay an extra US$ 500 per person per way. So prepare your contingency add-on cost for this flight. If you have a buffer day you can back to Kathmandu hotel that day cost you can pay yourself in hotel lodging and food. The flight can be rescheduled for the next day without extra add-on cost in flight. Sometimes the airlines change the flight from Kathmandu to Lukla to Ramechap to Lukla in that case we will provide you free transport from Kathmandu to Manthali Ramechap on a sharing basis. And Vice versa when you back after complete your trekking from Lukla to Kathmandu or Lukla to Ramechap and drive to Kathmandu.
