Everest Region of beautiful country Nepal
The area that Solukhambu districts covered is known as the Everest Region. We can do many activities like a trek, climbing as well as expeditions in this Everest region. All this is possible due to the popularity of Mount Everest. Everest is the highest mountain recorded in the world. The local name of Everest is Sagarmatha and people know this as Sagarmatha base camp. The Tibetan people call Everest as Chomolungma. The current official elevation of Everest is 8848 meters. This region is also popular as the Khumbu region.
The name Everest came from the name of a person. He is Gorge Everest. He is the person to find out Everest as the highest point in the world. The first person to reach that highest point is Edmund Hillary from New Zealand as well as Nepali Sherpa climber Tenzing Norgay. The first time they reached the top is 29 May 1953. This is the first successful climb after many unsuccessful attempts.
Climbers have to spend many days for climbing Everest. They need to set many camps to spend their nights while they are on climbing. Everest base camp is one of the temporary camps of Everest expeditions. Long-time ago the camps need to make from Kathmandu all the way to base camp. Now, there are different types of hotels and lodges available until Gorakshep. They are the permanent camps for climbers. No more hotels and Guesthouse after Gorakshep. We need to make temporary camps afterward. The base of Everest where tents are set is Everest Base Camp.
Base Camp of world Highest Mountain Everest
Everest base camp height is 5364 meters above the sea. The technical part of climbing starts from base camp. Base camp is set above Khumbu glacier. The base camp changes from time to time after the glaciers move. Everest base camp is near the Khumbu ice fall. We can see two base camps on the Everest trekking map. The old Everest base camp and Everest base camp are on the same level. Expeditions of Everest are hard, expensive as well as time taking. It is not affordable for many people. Some people don’t want to risk if they are able to afford climbing. For seeing the Everest people start travel just till the base camp. The base camp is visited as Everest base camp trekking. Now, Trek to Everest base camp is very popular as well as visits by many in numbers.

Essential Information
The idea of a typical day on the Everest base camp trek
Everest base camp trek will reward with a very unique experience of trekking through beautiful scenery and taking wonderful pictures through exploring the local settlements. During the Everest journey, we are accompanied by experienced, friendly, and well-qualified sherpa guide sharing different historical facts as well as info about the treks and places. The strong Sherpa porters also join our trek with helping us carry big luggage whereas we all carry our regular day bag pack with necessary items.
Money Exchange in Nepal
Nepali Rupees or Rupaiya is a local currency in Nepal. Besides local Nepali rupees only Indian rupees are acceptable in local markets. In tourist markets, the USD, Japenese yen, Pound sterling, Euro, Thai baht, Australian dollar, Singapore dollar are easily acceptable. In the money exchange, it is possible to exchange other money which is unpopular in Nepali markets. We can also exchange most of the foreign currencies through local banks. Some of the hotels in Thamel also exchange a smaller amount of money. People need to give a passport while exchanging the money. Now the Nepal government has banned the import, export, and the use of 500 and 1000 Indian rupee note in all Nepal. While In Nepal be careful about those notes, do not carry them because it illegal.
Responsibility on the environment
It is very important to have a balance between the environment and human beings. Our company strongly believes that the environment needs to be protecting well. Tourism and trekking activities have chances of bringing negative effects on our environment. We always work to make positive aspects of tourism on the environment. Our company engaged in different plantation programs. We also work together with Kathmandu Environmental education project (KEEP) and engaged in organizing eco-friendly treks and trips.
Gratuity
Gratuity means the tip. Here on Everest base camp trek all the trekking staffs from Guide, porters, helpers work hard for making the trek successful. Tipping is at the trekker’s discretion. It depends on good service from the team. Tipping is very much accepted and honored way of saying thank you for a wonderful service that is delivered. Most of the people offered tips at the end of the trek but some people prefer giving tips daily on a small amount. Most of the group's tips, staff at a last day celebration party where they invite all the staff and pay for their food and drinks too. The amount of tip is a personal preference that might be more or less and depends on trip duration, quality service, budget, etc. our magic Himalaya treks team provides the excellent work to make your trip a lifetime experience. We like to ensure that, we pay well to our guide and porters and make a wonderful family environment.

Many people surprise about Ebc trek in February but it's 100% possible and success. Many Photographers select these months for doing the trip because due to perfect landscapes for the best pictures. The weather does not remain constant this month. It changes from lower elevations to higher elevations. We will have a clear and best view during the month of February. There are very few people doing this trek. We need to walk on snow while trek during this time and we will see many water streams get frozen which might be a problem for drinking water to those people who prefer steam local water instead of bottled mineral water.
3. Everest Base Camp trek in March
March is the starting month of all Everest expeditions groups. Those people who are going to climb energy may start their preparation and acclimatization from these months. This is one of the perfect months for a trek because you just say good bye-bye to cold temperature and the best moderate temperature on your foot.

FAQ
Answer: On the lower elevations of a trek we can charge on electricity whereas on highers we need to pay the amount because they have solar panel ort batteries or generator as a source of energy. On the trail, some guest houses provide free wifi but in higher they charge for the internet and phone calls. All the places do not have phonecalls.
Answer: On Everest base camp trek the lodges are well constructed as well as well facilitated in comparison to other trekking areas. Most of the guest's houses have toilets inside the building where you can do toilets and also a bath. There are also few lodges with the attached bathroom with private toilets and showers.
Answer: During the walk, if it is an emergency you must use the toilet. A first thing is to check around if there is any a lodge or teahouse with toilets. If there is no any then you can go behind the stone but make sure you are not doing on rivers or water resources.
Answer: The local guest house does not provide toilet paper on their toilet. They will sell it but the cost is double then what you pay in Kathmandu. It depends on you whether you prefer taking from Kathmandu or buying at high cost. You also have an option of clean from water instead of paper.
Answer: Some of the lodges on lower elevations have a shower in the room. Some lodges have solar shower, some have electrical whereas some have a gas shower. The higher you go the shower is expensive. You can get bucket shower on higher elevations where water mostly freezes on zero levels. We do not advise taking a shower every day but instead use baby wipes to clean your body.
Answer: Some of the teahouses on a trail does laundry services. The tea house on Namche and Dingboche does laundry which will cost you an amount to pay. If you want to do laundry yourself the guest house will provide the place to do. They will also provide the bucket but the soap and detergent powder you need to buy there or use yours.
Answer: Actually, we advise all our trekkers to Everest base camp not to eat meat because they are not well frozen or stored. They most take by carrying people and animals on their back without cover which makes them smelly and dirty. We can provide vegetarian food and if there are any other diets you want let us know what kinds of diest you prefer so that we will provide accordingly.
Answer: Trekkers can choose the meals and hot drinks from the menu at the tea house. Meals are such as omelet, fried rice noodle soup, toast boiled eggs, macaroni, momo, vegetable curries, pizza, etc. The most provide meals are the local dish, Dal Bhat. You can learn this at Kathmandu on Our Nepali food cooking class which is around 4 hours class. Try this if you have time and you can cook Dalbhat back in your country.
Answer: The safe drinking mineral water is carried from Lukla or make on a factory somewhere in villages but has to carry all the way up to different places for sale. If you have a habit of drinking mineral water then you can buy on each guest house which costs around 1$ to 4$. For those people who are ok to drink the stream, water can get a tap on the guest house and the guide will help to fill it. You can also use water purification tablets or drops to make it pure.
Answer: We will definitely able to provide a single private room in the city areas of Nepal. In trek also someplace we will be able to provide the private room without any extra cost but some of the villages have a limited number of lodges and overflow of people. At that time the guest house will not give a private room instead of snedding back to some people without a room. It is petty much silly to ask a private room in those places.
Answer: We use local teahouse for all our treks for accommodations. This is the most common process of doing a trek in Nepal. We will trek from one guesthouse to another one in different local villages. The teahouse has a narrow room mostly shared with 2 trekkers. We have to share the bathroom with other people whereas some guest house have attached rooms with private bathrooms.
Answer: We will keep our entire guest at three-star category hotels in Kathmandu. Those are in the center of the tourist markets Thamel. If you want to upgrade the level of the hotel then let us know. We will arrange the hotel with extra cost on upgrades.

Those netions that need to apply visap prior to arrival in Nepal are Afghanistan, Cameroon, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iraq, Liberia, Nigeria, Palestine, Somalia, Syria, and Zimbabwe.
