      Manthali to Lukla Flight

      During the months of peak seasons (i.e. spring and autumn), there is a high probability of flight re-routing from Manthali Airport, Ramechhap. This is primarily due to high traffic volume. Make note that re-routing depends on the decision of the airlines. Trekking agencies don’t have control over it. It takes around 4 to 5 hours to reach Ramechhap from Kathmandu. 

      You have two options to take this flight. First, you can wake up at around 2:00 to 3:00 A.M. and drive to Ramechhap to catch the morning flight to Lukla. Or, you can travel there the night before so you can catch the morning flight without disrupting your sleep. The flight from Manthali Airport to Lukla takes around 20 minutes. 

      Kathmandu to Lukla Flight

      In case if there isn’t traffic congestion at the airport, the flight operates on the regular Kathmandu to Lukla route. There is a few chance of flight re-routing in the low season months (i.e. winter and monsoon). For the Kathmandu to Lukla flight, you will wake up around 5:00 to 6:00 A.M. to board the morning flight. You will reach Lukla in about 35 minutes from Kathmandu.

Adding this option to your Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary will offer you breathtaking aerial views of the Himalayas and a more exclusive experience.

    Essential Information

    How Hard is Everest Base Camp Trek?

    The Everest Base Camp Trekking adventure has a moderate level of difficulty. It is suitable for trekkers with a basic level of fitness and strong commitment. The Everest Base Camp trek route doesn’t involve any technical climbing sections. However the journey does demand resilience due to the high altitude nature of the trek long walking hours and daily elevation gains.

    During this trek, you will be hiking an average of 5 to 6 hours each day. You will need to traverse rocky terrains, suspension bridges and glacial terrain. The maximum elevation reaches Kalapatthar (5,550m/ 18,208ft). At this altitude, the oxygen level is 50% of what it is at the sea level. Hence, due to major altitude gain along the way proper acclimatization days, slow ascend and hydration are crucial.

    Although having some high-altitude trekking experience is helpful, with the right preparation, physical conditioning, pacing and mental stamina, even a beginner can complete this trek without any issues. 

    Best Time for Everest Base Camp Trek 14 Days

    The two most popular seasons for the Mount Everest Base Camp Trek are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). 

    • Spring season welcomes stable weather, blooming rhododendrons and crisp mountain views. Snow remains on high peaks, especially during early March. So, besides the incredible natural allure, there are also postcard-perfect mountain sceneries. Similarly, temperatures are warmer, trekking trails are comfortable and the teahouses are fully operational.

    • Autumn the fall season offers clear skies, mild temperatures and dry trails. It is one of the most beloved periods for trekking and mountaineering in Nepal. After the monsoon atmosphere the landscape is fresh and the visibility is exceptional. Cultural festivals like Dashain and Tihar also take place during this period which add cultural depth to your experience.

    Trekking in Nepal is also possible during the winter season (December to February). However, the temperatures can be freezing and snowfall covers the trekking trails, especially above Dingboche (4,410m/ 14,468ft). Monsoon season (June to August) is generally not recommended due to flight disruption, view obstructions and leeches infestation on lower trails. 

    Note: You should consider your best time for Everest Base Camp Trek 14 Days based on what you value most, scenery, solitude, or ideal trekking conditions. 

    Necessary Permits

    For the Everest Base Camp Trip you will need to collect two official permits:

    • Sagarmatha National Park Permit: This permit allows entry to the protected area of the Everest region which has also been enlisted as a UNESCO Heritage Site. 

    • Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit: For accessing the protected municipality after landing at Lukla.

    Food and Accommodation 

    Throughout the Mount Everest Base Camp Trek, you will stay at teahouses/lodges on the trailside. These are basic but cozy establishments that are run by local families. They offer warm hospitality, healthy meals and shared accommodations. The rooms at the teahouses usually include twin beds, blankets and pillows. However, we still recommend you to carry a four-seasonal sleeping for more comfort and warmth.

    You also have the option to upgrade to lodges, which are premium accommodation options in this route. Lodges offer more comfortable stays and extra amenities to the trekkers. The food menu along the trail is also surprisingly varied. Standard meals at the teahouses include:

    Day-to-Day Activities

    During this exciting Himalayan adventure to the base of the highest base camp in the world with Eco Holidays Nepal, you will follow the standard Everest Base Camp Trek map. Your journey will commence after landing in Lukla (2,845 m), and you will gradually follow the ascending route across the major highlights of the region.

    Your journey will typically start after a warm breakfast at the teahouse at around 7 to 8 AM. Then you will move along with the exciting routes, checking the major highlights en route and taking your time to soak in the surreal Himalayan beauty.

    After trekking for about 3 to 4 hours on the Himalayan route, you will reach the point secluded for a lunch stop. All the break and lunch stops along the route are preplanned so you can take shorter breathers without completely exhausting yourself.

    At the lunch stop, you will get about an hour of break before continuing with the trail. For the most part, after enjoying your lunch, you will just need to walk about 2 to 3 hours to reach your rest stop. If you have sufficient daylight, you can also do some short sightseeing around the resting destination.

    The dinner will be generally served at around 6 to 7 PM, and you will enjoy the meal with your crew. After dinner, your trek guide will brief you about the overall itinerary plans for the next day so you can prepare accordingly.

    You can spend the rest of your time playing card games or watching movies and documentaries before bed. Just make sure that you get enough rest so that you will feel energized for the next day’s adventure.

    Personal Expenses

    The Everest Base Camp Trek cost handles all the general expenses of the trip. Expenses like food, accommodation, permits, transport, guides, porters, taxes, etc., will be covered by the standard package.

    However, personal natured expenses such as snacks, desserts, drinks, charging, internet, laundry, calls, etc which are categorized as personal expenses are not covered by package cost. Thus, you have to estimate the budget for these factors and bring sufficient cash for swift transactions.

    Note: The cost of such personal expenses may vary depending on the altitude. Due to the lack of proper transportation modes, it is costlier to transfer goods to higher altitudes. Thus, you need to properly evaluate budgeting considering those factors for personal expenses.

    Training and Preparation

    As the Mt. Everest Base Camp Trek is a moderate level of journey in the Himalayas, you should consider an efficient training program to ensure a comfortable journey. The effort you put into your training part will solely determine how easy and comfortable you will feel taking the mountain route on the actual trip and enjoying it.

    Thus, you should make arrangements for training at least 3 to 6 weeks for the trek. Depending on your fitness level, you should consider adjusting the training period if it seems like it will not be enough. You should work on your strength and endurance aspects for the trek while also focusing on core strength.

    The core strength exercises will help you find balance even on the uneven terrains of the mountain. Similarly, the cardiovascular and stamina training exercises are very helpful in improving your stamina reserve. These exercises will make the long hours of walking a piece of cake and you will also find it much easier to adjust to new altitudes.

    Altitude Sickness

    While doing high-altitude adventures, it is natural to be worried about the risk of altitude sickness. However, unlike mountain expeditions where climbers have to face severe forms of altitude sickness, on this Everest Base Camp Trek route you will only have to deal with the mild variant.

    This mainstream route only has the potential risk of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness). Even if it is a moderate form of altitude-related sickness, you should follow appropriate precautionary methods to avoid inconveniences caused by it.

    During this trek, you will reach the highest point of the entire route at Kala Patthar (5,550 m), which is in the Trans Himalayan zone. Compared to that, the majority part of the trail is not that significantly elevated; thus, the risk of altitude sickness is pretty low.

    On top of that, while trekking with Eco Holidays Nepal, you will enjoy a slow-paced journey that lets to adapt to the altitude as you gradually ascend on the route. You will also get two acclimatization days en route at Namche Bazaar (3,440m) and Dingboche (4,410).

    Thus, the potential risk of altitude sickness is significantly reduced in this itinerary plan. You don’t have to worry about anything while trekking with Eco Holidays Nepal and just enjoy the experience and create fond memories.

    Heli Trek Option

    If you want to go beyond the experience of the standard Mount Everest Base Camp Trek package, we also have heli options. Eco Holidays Nepal also has the Everest Base Camp trek with helicopter return if you don’t want to give up on the trekking experience and return in style.

    In this trek with a heli return option package, you will enjoy a complete trekking experience and fly back to Kathmandu after completing the hike to Kala Patthar. As for the complete flying tour without the need for trekking, we have the Everest Base Camp Landing Helicopter Tour.

    This package will help you admire and soak in the beauty of the eastern Himalayas without breaking a sweat. Your flight will start from Kathmandu to Lukla and then from Pheriche to Kala Patthar. Unlike the general flyover, you will actually get to land on the highest viewpoint of the region to admire the beauty of the Himalayas up close.
