Read on for details on how to go on this adventure yourself!
Planning for EBC trek:
This is a 12 day trek with additional time needed for travel to and from the starting point. It is highly recommended that you build in 2-3 days for unforeseen delays like weather, flight issues etc.
Training for EBC trek:
EBC is not a technical hike. People in their 60s and 70s with moderate health routinely successfully summit to the Base camp. I, myself, have a host of medical issues (asthma, high blood pressure, knee pain etc.) was able to complete this hike with a 2 month rigorous training. That is to say that this hike is doable for most people.

Blog about EBC experience:
Everest Base Camp had always been on my 40-40 list – but it was one of those far off things that I would get to when I got to it – not an immediate check off item. That changed very serendipitously one weekend in July 2022. I had just come to the realization that for various reasons, the most realistic time for me to go would be in October – in 2 months! I didn’t want to wait too long to go on a hike like this – who knew if I’d ever be able to go if I waited too long. So it was decided – I would go this October – two and a half months after making this decision… and the rest is history 🙂
