The beauty, majesty and challenge of Mount Everest has been attracting and captivating men and women for nearly a century. Legendary mountain explorers like Sir Edmund Hillary and George Mallory brought Everest into the fore of people’s minds and since they made their epic journeys, literally thousands of people have followed in their footsteps. Conquering the Everest summit takes commitment, experience and huge sacrifice and is not an option for many people. However, for many, a trek to the Everest basecamp gives them an achievable option to work towards. For thousands, reaching the famous Everest basecamp is a dream come true and it is becoming an increasingly popular action holiday choice; in 2012 nearly 40,000 people successfully trekked in the Everest region of the Himalayas. A trek to in the Everest region will give you first-hand experience of the Sherpa culture and way of life. While you trek, you will be treated to some of the world’s most breathtaking scenery while you see the day to day life of the Sherpa people. Rocky mountain paths, tiny little mountain villages, white-knuckle swing bridges and fascinating culture will be daily sights. You’ll probably also be part of a group of fellow trekkers to so you are bound to make friends with like-minded people as you trek toward Everest. A successful trek to the basecamp of Everest will give you a massive sense of personal achievement. And you’ll be able to enjoy the best of hospitality provided by the friendly and welcoming Nepalese people. This is the type of once in a lifetime trekking holiday you and your trekking companions will never forget. For thousands of trekkers it is a real dream come true and a life achievement to surpass all others. The best time in the year to plan a trek to the Everest basecamp is from March to May, or between September and December. If you choose to trek in the spring, be aware this is just before the monsoon season so you should be prepared for rain. If you go late in the year then you need to be prepared for below-zero temperatures so wrapping up warm is essential. Since the sad and untimely death of a European trekker in June last year, the Nepalese government is considering making a trekking guide compulsory on all expeditions to the Everest basecamp. It is always wise to get yourself onto a group with experienced guides and trek planners who have walked in the region before and know how to handle it. Do not attempt a trek to Everest basecamp on your own or in a small private group unless you are all extremely highly experienced in these harsh terrains. While the ban on solo trekking in Nepal has been held back, and in theory it is possible to do a solo trek, it is not recommended. It’s much better to hire an experience guide if you are not part of an organized group. In addition to providing invaluable help, your guide will be able to give you more of a flavor and taste of local knowledge, nature and culture.
