Teahouse Warm clothes
While not walking you need to be warm in the guest house room or in the dining at that time you need to have warm clothes. A big down Jacket is recommended to take either buy or on rent.

Headlamps and Extra Batteries
Many Places on the trek have a solar power system and during bad weather, it does not work well so it’s important to carry Headlamp with you.

Spare Sunglasses.
While doing the Everest base camp trek always carry spare glasses to use in case you broke the first one. Sunglasses are very important while on a trek. The cost of the glass on trial is expensive and I am not able to get quality one.
Wet baby wipes instead of Shower
The shower is not recommended to take during the trek but many people take shower. We can get hot showers easily in places like Namche, Phakding, and Lukla. While you go higher we will get hot showers in Tangbochea, Pangboche also. We will get a basic shower on Dingbochea. When you take a shower there is a maximum chance of getting cold so baby wipes are the best thing to clean the boy. The shower is also very expensive and needs to be paid.
