TRIP INTRODUCTION
This Package is perfect for those who have limited
time in hand yet want to get the most out of it.
Everest base camp trek is one of the world's most
popular trekking trails and everybody wants to visit it,
Although the ultimate achievement of this trek is to
ascend Kalapatthar “the Everest viewpoint”, there are
many other things that all together make this trail a
golden trail. The Eastern Himalayan region is home to
high mountains like Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu,
including Mt. Everest. but it requires a lot of effort and
time as well. Since you have a limitation of how much
elevation you can gain per day to avoid high altitude
sickness going one way up to the basecamp is a
week-long, instantaneous job and tricky as well, it is
why we design an itinerary in a way that once you
achieve your ultimate goal you take a helicopter ride
back home. Himalayan Shangrila treks Neal has a very
well-organized team to perform such tasks.
You take a usual route from Kathmandu to Everest
camp and Kalapathhar, once you're satisfied with your
goal you take a helicopter ride from Gorakshep to
Lukla or Kathmandu.

PRE-TRIP ESSENTIALS:
HEALTH: A visit to Nepal does not require special
vaccination, however, we recommend to consult with
your attending physician and to stock up with
necessary drugs before you depart.
Medical services in Nepal are limited in mountainous
areas. If you wear glasses, it is better to have at itself a
spare couple.
MOUNTAIN SICKNESS: Any person traveling above
2500m can get easy symptoms of a mountain illness.
The first signs are headache, increased fatigue,
sleeplessness, appetite loss, liquid loss by an organism,
and puffiness. At the emergence of such signs, it is
necessary to remain at this height before full
acclimatization of an organism. It is recommended to
drink 2 to 4 liters of liquid a day. If symptoms don't
pass and the state worsens, it is necessary to go down
immediately. Sometimes even 300m can play a
crucial role. Planning the travel, leave spare days on
acclimatization at height 3700m and 4300m. After
4000m try not to rise more than 500m in one day. You
can inadequately estimate the condition therefore
always follow the advice of the accompanying guide
or locals.
WEATHER: Weather conditions on the mountain are
unpredictable. It might be sunny during the day and
cold as well as windy at night, especially at the high
altitudes. Sudden rainstorms or snow flurries are
always possibilities. Better be prepared!
PACKING: Choosing the right clothing for your trip is
very important. You always want to pack everything,
but that could make a hassle. Keep in mind that
almost every mountain region in Nepal the days are
warm and nights are cool. Usually, we recommend
people to bring warm jackets either fleece or down,
long underwear, and worm shocks. Pair of pants and
comfortable boot for the long day while sports
shoes/sandals for hiking or during the less active
period. The boots are another important factor while
on trek make sure that they are waterproof. The basic
principle of packing is comfort not luxury. In
Kathmandu and Pokhara you can get any necessary
gear at a very comfortable price.
But if you just enquire before you start packing things
we provide you better advice depending upon
present weather conditions. Do not pack unnecessary
things like hairdryers, lots of and lots of cosmetics and
electronics, while a battery power bank (Backup) for
your mobile phone, iPod is recommended.
Another important factor is that the porter/supports
you hire for the trip has a certain limitation of how
much weight he will carry on his back.
THINGS THAT YOU BEAR: Baggage, backpack you
give to a porter shouldn't exceed 15 kg. Your small
backpack for day transitions has to be designed for
the most necessary in the way: the camera, water,
additional clothes on a case of rain or a cold snap,
cream from suntan, toilet paper, and other personal
accessories if any.
EMERGENCY AND YOUR SUPPORT TEAM: All our
guide are well trained in first aid and can handle most
of the basic illness that occurs at high altitude or in
the jungle. Every group is equipped with a basic first
aid kit, every traveler must have full travel insurance
before coming to Nepal. And should make available a
copy of the policy at our office in Kathmandu. If an
emergency occurs, we will evacuate you from the
mountain to one of the internationally recognized
hospitals/clinics in Kathmandu and contact your
insurance company.
Just tell us about your preferences, interests and the
amount of time available to you and we will take care
of the rest. We will help design a tour and work out a
comfortable itinerary that best suits your needs.
