Everest Base Camp Trek in March

The trek to Everest base camp in March is one of the best times to do the hike. Base camp is not a fixed place where people can go live. It is located on the Khumbu glacier near the Khumbu icefall, which shifts each season or year due to the movement of the glacier. March marks the beginning for climbers seeking a thorough acclimatization. For that, people start doing the base camp trek in March, going up and down again and again so that they will be well acclimatized and ready for climbing in May.

Frequently asked questions and their answers about Everest base camp trek in March

Could you please explain why the flight from Kathmandu to Lukla is scheduled later rather than earlier?

Ans: The same day you are flying to Lukla, other big groups are also flying, so they have made an early booking for the first flight, so they are flying the early flight, and we will fly after that. The second flight is not a late flight. In March the weather remains consistent, and there will be no rain or snow, so you don’t need to worry. We will have a flight on time, and you will not have to change our fixed plan.

Would it be possible to obtain local water for drinking?

Yes, there will be running water in the steam room, so you can obtain drinking water from there, or our staff can assist you in getting it from the kitchen. You can also ask the kitchen staff for assistance with that.

Can we stay in the Italian Pyramid house instead of Laubecha?

Ans: Yes, we can do that, but the prices in the Italian pyramid house are more expensive than in Laubecha. You need to pay the difference. Hot showers, WiFi, and unlimited hot drinks are provided, which is acceptable at such an elevation. Many people started to stay there, and it has less capacity, so you need to do the early booking.

Can you book the Italian pyramid house for our stay during the trek to Everest base camp?

Ans: Yes, I will book it as soon as you book a trek with Magic Himalaya Treks, so you don’t need to worry about such things. We are here to take all the responsibilities and make all the arrangements for you.

Some of the best treks for March are the Annapurna Circuit Trek, the Langtang Valley Trek, and the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. You can support Nepal and visit it during our Visit Nepal 2020 program.
