The high altitude sickness starts from Lukla and trails gradually up to the base camp(5364 m) and Kala patter(5555 m).

A lot of the tea houses have power strips with American outlets. If not then either a C or D type outlet is good. If your device is 230 volts or is dual voltage and the plug can fit in a Nepali power outlet then you can use it in Nepal. If the standard voltage in your country is in the range of 100 V - 127 V (as is in the US, Canada, and most South American countries), you need a voltage converter in Nepal.

Most of the time you can use the bathrooms in one of the tea houses or lodges, but if it's urgent you can go off the trail and find some privacy.
This is a good idea. However, you can also easily buy a roll along the trail at one of the small shops. At higher elevations like Gorakhashep, a roll of tissue might run you $2 to $4.
The lower-elevation tea houses have hot showers (generally gas) whereas the higher-elevation tea houses generally provide a bucket of hot water. Tea Houses generally charge an extra $3 to $5 for a hot shower which can be well worth it after a long day on the trail.
Comfortable, sturdy trekking shoes or boots are a must. Look for shoes with ankle support, and ideally your footwear will have Gore-Tex or similar lining, along with thick soles. This will ensure that your feet stay warm and dry and that you are comfortable walking on rocky paths. It’s always best to break your boots in before you arrive and make sure they are comfortable. If you start to get a blister it’s best to stop immediately and cover it with duct tape or moleskin

Our 14-day package includes one buffer day in case of delays but we suggest that you schedule a couple of extra additional days in case of delays at the end of your trek. If your flight is delayed in Kathmandu we will rebook your flight for the next day. We may also be able to provide an option for a privately chartered helicopter. If you choose to take the helicopter this can cost an additional $500 or more depending on availability and group size. Extra hotel nights ($40) and meals in Kathmandu are not included when flights are delayed although we will make arrangements for you. If your flight is delayed from Lukla you are responsible for extra accommodation and meals (approximately $30). (Flying to Lukla – What You Need to Know).
It’s sometimes the case that trekkers finish ahead of schedule or end up stopping the trek early for health or personal reasons. If this is the case please understand that we do not offer any refunds for unused days on the trek. Please understand that our costs are the same as we must pay our guides and porters for the time they have committed.

Having minor symptoms of altitude sickness such as a headache are quite common and you can continue trekking. However, if you develop additional symptoms you mustn’t continue trekking to a higher elevation.

Note that additional charges apply for extra days on the trek.
If you are sick and need to rest for a day we can often place you in the next trekking group coming up the mountain.

Note, that extra charges will apply for additional days on the trek. Please see complete details in our "Terms of Service".

Amazing Experience !!! I am glad to have chosen NHT for the EBC and Kala Patthar trek. The owners Ganga and Balaram took special care to ensure that the trek went smoothly. They also went out of the way to seek feedback on the different aspects of the trip and this was a pleasant difference to other agencies, who basically hand you over to the guide and your fate once the payment is made. Requests for changes in schedules were taken care of seamlessly and I was pleasantly surprised that our Guide even received a call at Kala Pathar, to check whether all was well! Our guide was Chandra. He choose to take a different route during the ascent - Namche- Kumjung-Phortse- Pheriche-Thugla-Lobuche - Gorakshep. This route was picturesque and provided excellent views of Ama Dablam throughout the walk. Ofcourse, slow ascent and acclimatization is the key to an enjoyable trip. We did not have any issues with altitude and were quite disciplined when it came to drinking water and taking our Diamox doses. Accommodations in most places except Gorakshep was comfortable considering the resource challenges at this altitudes. We choose to trek the Kala Patthar on the day we reached Gorakshep starting at about 9.00 am and were rewarded with superb views and clear skies. The summit was also less crowded. Overall a great trek facilitated by
Best choice for my EBC trek ! I did the EBC trek with Nepal Hiking Team a month ago and choosing them was the best choice my cousin and I could have made. We prioritized a local agency, chose them by the good reviews and have only compliments to give. They were extremely responsive with all our questions, flexible and agile on the planning and overall, an amazing value for money with a great level of service that really surprised me. Our guide during the hike was Kul and I can’t thank enough for being so lucky to have such a pleasant, knowledgeable, encouraging and attentive company. He’s really awesome! We were on a group of 4, which also felt perfect, not too big and not too small. Really thankful for Kul and all the Himalayan Smile Treks and members who made this one of the best experiences in my life. Will be back soon, definitely with them!
