Short overview of Short Everest Base Camp

Trekking to the Everest base camp is one of the bucket list adventures for thousands of travelers around the world, and it takes usually two weeks to 16 days to complete it. However, with our short Everest base camp trek package, you can do this trek in 9 days. This itinerary is different from our standard EBC trek but it lets you trek to the base of Mount Everest and return safely and quickly. 

Similarly, unlike our usual Everest base camp trek packages, you will spend nights in villages that see a relatively low number of tourists than famous villages. You will be staying overnight in the iconic Namche Bazaar (3,440 m/11,290 ft) but not in Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche villages. Instead, we have overnight stays in Pangboche (3,985 m/13,074 ft) and Thukla (4,620 m/15,157 ft) after Namche Bazaar. 

We also do not have acclimatization days in this itinerary, which allows us to offer you this lifetime journey without spending much time. Not having acclimatization in our short Everest base camp trek itinerary doesn't make you any vulnerable to altitude sickness because we have designed the expedition in a way that will let you avoid it.

Not to mention, we care a lot about our budget travelers, so we have created this Everest base camp trek for 9 days, a very budget-friendly EBC trek option. You are not only reaching the lap of the highest mountain in the world in a short time but also saving a good amount of money. Additionally, we, Nature Excursion, also give special discounts to groups of 8 or more trekkers.

What more can you get? Our short Everest base camp trek is the perfect Everest trek package in 2023 and 2024. Trek with our native guides and porters, escape the bustle of the city and unwind breathing fresh Himalayan air, spend nights in beautiful Sherpa villages, enjoy the heartwarming hospitality of the mountain communities, and come across some of the tallest mountains in the world.

As our Everest base camp short trek does not include your arrival and departure from Kathmandu, you have to prepare for it by yourself. You have to be in Kathmandu for at least one day before we depart. The first day of the itinerary is to take a flight to Lukla and descend to Phakding village (2,610 m/8,563 ft) to spend the night. So, you have to be in Kathmandu one day before to meet with our team and pack.

What can I experience with the Short Everest Base Camp Trek?

  • The Lukla flight at the start and end of the trek is a big part of the trekking in the Everest region.

Useful Information

Can I trek solo to Everest base camp?

Yes, you can trek solo to Everest base camp. However, trekking alone can get very challenging because you have to take care of transportation and logistics by yourself. It will add extra hassle, especially in the peak trekking seasons when most of the lodges and tea houses along the trail are fully booked. Trekking with us makes the journey half hassle-free for you as we take care of all surface arrangements. Moreover, our guide will add more meaning to the trek by providing his insights. 

Is the Short Everest base camp trek difficult?

The short Everest base camp trek begins with a leisure walk from Lukla and gradually transitions into more demanding paths as you venture deeper into the Khumbu region. Trekking through lush forests and verdant hillsides, you will come across rocky gorges, moraines, and glacier fields. Each day involves 6 hours of trekking at minimum. 

From Pahdking to Namche Bazaar and Dingboche to Lobuche, the trail is a bit challenging. This part of the trail involves steep climbing. You will cross suspension bridges over rivers and streams. Many parts of the trail ascend along cliff sides, providing you with a clear view of the hills, valleys, and mountains.

EBC trek distance

Our Everest base camp trek 9 days covers 130 kilometers in total. From Lukla, the Everest base camp is situated 65 kilometers away. And you cover an equal distance to return to Lukla from the base camp. 

Altitude Sickness

You might have heard about altitude sickness during the EBC trek. Well, it is not something you should worry about too much. Altitude sickness is common while traveling in the mountains and can be avoided if you follow our instructions. Be aware of the symptoms and employ preventive measures, you will be fine. If you feel any discomfort, our guide will take care of you. 

Altitude Sickness Symptoms:

  • Persistent headaches
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Vomiting and nausea

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's crucial to take immediate action:

  • Rest: Pause your trek and rest as soon as symptoms arise.
  • Medication: Take any prescribed medication you have for altitude sickness.
  • Inform Your Guide: Notify your guide promptly. They are trained to manage altitude-related issues and can provide assistance.
  • Descent and Rest: In some cases, descending a few hundred meters and resting can relieve the symptom

Below we have mentioned some preventive measures that will help you avoid altitude sickness:

  • Drink plenty of water and fluids throughout your trek. Proper hydration is key to acclimatization.
  • Smoking and alcoholic beverages contribute to dehydration and increase vulnerability to altitude sickness. Refrain from them during your trek. 
  • Get ample rest to allow your body to adjust to higher altitudes. Fuel yourself with nutritious meals to sustain your energy levels during long hours of trekking.
  • Avoid rushing while trekking. Maintain a pace that suits your comfort level. This allows your body to acclimatize gradually.

Accommodation & meals during the short Everest base camp trek

The overnight stays in the villages while you are trekking make the journey more adventurous and meaningful. As the EBC trail is a famous trekking route and many travelers visit here, the accommodation availability is decent. You will spend nights in lodges while trekking, which offer twin-sharing and single rooms. We book single rooms only on prior notice, so let us know early. 

This package includes basic types of rooms with private washrooms in Lukla, Phakding, and Namche Bazaar. Above Namche Bazaar, the washroom can be common. The rooms are small in size with cozy aesthetics. The cost of your room does not cover essential amenities such as charging outlets, WiFi access, and hot showers. So, you need to carry additional money to use these services.

The dining experience during the trek is also fantastic, with numerous options on the menu to keep you fuel for the journey. Indulge in staple Nepali dishes, including the dal bhat, dhido, momo, thukpa, curries, roti, and chow mein.

Wha is the best time to do short Everest base camp trekking?

You can do the Everest base camp trek throughout the year, however some seasons offer better trekking experience and weather conditions than others. Spring and autumn season is the peak trekking time for Everest base camp. On the other hand, summer/monsoon and winter are off time for trekking. 

Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November):

  • Recommended: These are arguably the most popular months for trekking to Everest Base Camp. The weather during spring and autumn is mild and stable, making for a comfortable hike. The skies are clear, offering breathtaking vistas of the Himalayan peaks. Rhododendron blooms during spring add a vibrant touch to your trekking journey.

Winter (December to February):

  • For the Adventurous: If you do not care about cold temperatures and are seeking a tranquil trek with fewer crowds, winter is a viable option. The landscapes are draped in a pristine blanket of snow, creating a serene atmosphere. However, be prepared for freezing weather and the possibility of snow-covered trails.

Summer (June to August):

  • For Rain Enthusiasts: Nepal's summer coincides with the monsoon season, resulting in heavy rainfall. While trekking during this period comes with the challenge of slippery paths and landslides, it also brings lush, verdant landscapes and a profusion of waterfalls. If you don't mind the rain, summer trekking can be a unique experience.

What are the tips for Short Everest base camp trek?

Travel Insurance: For the short Everest base camp trek, travel insurance is an essential requirement. Participants are obliged to provide Nature Excursion with a copy of their travel insurance before embarking on the journey. This insurance policy must encompass medical coverage and expenses associated with helicopter rescue and evacuation at high altitudes.

  • Passport & Visa:  Travelers who are not Indian nationals are required to get a visa to enter Nepal, while Indian nationals are exempt from this requirement. Most visitors have the option of obtaining an on-arrival visa at the Tribhuvan International Airport. You will need a valid passport with at least six months remaining, a passport-sized photograph, and the stipulated visa fee. The overall fee for a 30-day stay is USD 50. 
  • Trek Group: Opting for our guided trekking experience, you can choose between trekking as part of a group or embarking on a private expedition for a more personalized experience. Our trekking groups are kept small, accommodating a maximum of 8 participants at once. Moreover, we also organize short Everest base camp treks for larger groups upon request.
  • Luggage: To ensure your trekking experience is seamless, we provide one porter for every two trekkers. Note that the weight limit for each traveler's luggage is set at 10kg. Our porters adhere to a maximum weight of 20kg. Throughout the trek, you'll carry a compact backpack containing items you'll require frequently, including a water bottle, currency, snacks, travel documents, and more. For your convenience, you can leave any excess luggage at your hotel without incurring additional charges.
  • Charging & Internet: Charging and internet services are available during the trek at an additional cost. For backup, carry a power bank or extra batteries. Many trekkers also like to buy solar chargers. In villages at lower altitudes, there is WiFi service. Getting a tourist sim with data is much more efficient. 
  • Tips: While not mandatory, tipping is a customary practice within Nepali culture. The decision on the tip amount is left to your discretion, based on the quality of service received. If you're part of a group, it's advisable to pool small contributions from each member and offer a collective tip at the end of the trek.
