Nitty-gritty for Everest Trekker

It depends entirely on you whether you want to start your Everest Base Camp Trek from Jiri or Lukla, but you always get suggestions from Ace Holidays before planning for your trek. If you start from Jiri, it is lengthy. Lukla is a usual starting point of the Everest Base Camp Trek, so Ace Holidays usually refers Lukla to you, but if you want to follow the footsteps of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Sherpa, from the beginning till the end of your trek, and if you want to experience what the first climbers of the Everest had experienced, then you should start from Jiri.

In this blog, I am going to talk about Everest Base Camp Trek, which starts from Lukla instead of Jiri, your another alternative in case of flight cancellation due to mountain weather in Lukla. Lukla can be reached by flying from Kathmandu, and this flight is scenic because of the Himalayas, The Himalayas is one of the natural attractions of the world to the trekkers. On the basis of this natural attraction, Kathmandu – Lukla flight will be a great introductory to you, prior to trekking to Everest Base Camp.

Since you are a trekker who loves to communicate what you have seen, you can do this quickly with an aid of internet to your friends and relatives as soon as you reach these villages: Namche, Tengboche, and Gorakshep. (Please spot these villages in your trek itinerary in advance). In addition to the internet, you also need a down jacket, a sunglass, a walking stick, a daypack, and a sunscreen cream. These are must to you. Do not wear a half-paint while trekking. Distilled water is available on the trekking route, and so are different types of foods, such as eggs, pizza, noodles, soups, pan cake, pasta, fruits, tuna bakes, potatoes, ‘daal bhat’ (rice and lentils), bread, apple pies, custard, fresh vegetables, meat items, tea, and coffee. There are lots of garlic on the recipes because they help you to overcome altitude mountain sickness.
