Itinerary Informations

  • The provided itinerary is standard, and if you want to customize it, you can do it. OR you can also go through our Plan Your Holidays page.

    Lukla flight from Manthali Airport, Ramechhap:

    Due to the air traffic in Kathmandu during the peak months (March, April, May, September, October, and November), CAAN has promulgated the notice that the flight has been shifted to Manthali from Kathmandu to Lukla. If there are changes will update you ASAP.

    Lukla Flights:

    All we know is that the Lukla flight is sensitive in the case of weather. Instantly it may be delayed and canceled as well. A tiny Himalayan airport has difficulty facing heavy traffic which is why sometimes the flight may be delayed. So, we suggest, trekking in Everest, please make sure at least you have two days additional in the program. In the case of a weather cancellation, the best alternative to get Lukla is to charter a helicopter because the copter can fly in lower visibility of 1,500 meters. However, Twin Otter and Dornier aircraft need minimum visibility of 5,000 meters.

    What about the Helicopter cost? Is it getting instant or need to be in the queue?

    A helicopter charges US $ 2500 per flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. And the US $ 500 per person on a sharing basis. Except for the emergency, during the high season and extreme weather of Lukla, you may not get a helicopter instantly or need to be in the queue. Also, if you have requested the Helicopter for less than 24hrs, you may need to wait because of the limited number of helicopters, and they’re using various activities in the mountains.

Important Info

Ultimate Guide to the Speedy Everest Base Camp Trek

Number of Days: 10 (from and to Kathmandu)

Overview

The Speedy Everest Base Camp Trek is designed for those who have limited time but still wish to experience the iconic journey to Everest Base Camp (EBC). This 10-day trek, also known as the Rapid Everest Base Camp Trek or Quick Everest Base Camp Journey, condenses the traditional itinerary into a shorter, more intense schedule. Due to its demanding nature, this trek requires a high level of physical fitness and mental preparation.

Difficulty Level

The Speedy Everest Base Camp Trek is categorized as strenuous. It is more demanding than the standard 12-day trek due to the lack of acclimatization days and the quicker pace. Trekkers should be prepared for long hours of hiking, steep ascents, and varying weather conditions.

Acclimatization and Altitude Sickness (AMS)

No Acclimatization Days

  • The itinerary does not include acclimatization days, which are typically built into the standard trek to help your body adjust to the high altitudes.
  • Due to the fast-paced schedule, trekkers must be aware of the symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) and take preventive measures.

Preventing AMS

  • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, which helps your body cope with the altitude.
  • Slow and Steady: Maintain a steady, comfortable pace. Avoid rushing, even if you feel strong.
  • Medication: Consider taking Diamox (acetazolamide) to help prevent AMS. Consult with your doctor before the trek.
  • Awareness: Be aware of AMS symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, and fatigue. If symptoms worsen, descend immediately and seek medical help.

Physical Requirements for Speedy Everest Base Camp Trek

Strong Physical Fitness

  • Cardiovascular Endurance: Trekkers should have excellent cardiovascular fitness. Regular cardio exercises such as running, cycling, and swimming can help build endurance.
  • Strength Training: Focus on strengthening your legs, core, and upper body. Exercises like squats, lunges, and planks are beneficial.
  • Hiking Experience: Previous hiking experience, especially at high altitudes, is highly recommended. If possible, practice hiking with a loaded backpack.
  • Mental Preparation: The trek is physically demanding and mentally challenging. Prepare yourself for long days of trekking, potential altitude sickness, and varying weather conditions.

How to Complete the Trek Successfully

  • Preparation: Start training at least 3-6 months before the trek. Combine cardiovascular workouts, strength training, and long hikes.
  • Gear: Ensure you have the right gear, including sturdy trekking boots, warm clothing, a quality sleeping bag, and a well-fitting backpack.
  • Hydration and Nutrition: Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet throughout the trek. Carry energy snacks like nuts, dried fruits, and energy bars.
  • Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to your body’s signals. If you experience severe symptoms of AMS, prioritize your health and safety by descending to a lower altitude.
  • Guidance: Trek with experienced guides who are knowledgeable about the route and altitude-related issues. They can provide valuable support and ensure your safety.

The Speedy Everest Base Camp Trek is an exhilarating yet challenging adventure that allows trekkers to reach EBC in a condensed timeframe. With no acclimatization days and a demanding schedule, it requires significant physical and mental preparation. By understanding the risks of AMS, maintaining strong physical fitness, and following best practices, you can successfully complete this trek and experience the unparalleled beauty of the Everest region.
