Some basic information regarding the trek

Difficulties

There could be just two things that can make your trek tough. First, even with acclimatization days, you’re trekking for 6-7 hours a day for at least 7 days. You need to have indurated your body off troop to manage with this.

Second, you may have to face the altitude problems like altitude sickness, vomiting, nausea, fast heartbeat, etc. after reaching to Everest base camp you will have lost almost 50% of the oxygen in the air, which can make the endeavor tough. So, it would be better if you train your body hard before you arrive on your trek to EBC.

Food and Drinks

you can see menus and can choose what you want to eat in the restaurant or in the lodge, but I would recommend you to have the authentic tasty, and healthy food of Nepal which is Daal Bhat, and can resolve your own bill. Here in Nepal, you can have food for very little money at any lodge on a budget of 20$-25$ per day. Mainly, don’t forget to order your food as soon as you arrive at the hotel or lodge as it is conceptual “first ordered first served”.
