Everest Base Camp Trek

1. Everest Base Camp
Trekking

2. Pre-training
 Get as fit as you can or you just won’t enjoy it as much, and if you get sick (as
many do) you will find it all the harder. As is, it’s a very hard, multi-day, non-
stop haul on which you will see some folks who look like they’ve done no
training and really show it. They say the best training for hills is hills, so train
on hills and wear the boots and pack you will be taking and get out there
training harder and longer than you think you need to as when things like
altitude, fatigue and possible sickness bite at least you will be more ready
than not.
 Train with a bit more weight than you may take so your body and foot
movement in your boots is all attuned to being there.
 Learn more about altitude sickness and mountain weather.
 Research more on Lukla flights and delays

3. Lukla Flights
 The flight up takes about 45 minutes. All flights are early and
bumpy but hopefully not too bad.
 If bad weather prevents your group from taking the flight to
Lukla, Everest Marathon team will assist you to bring you
back to hotel in Kathmandu. It may not be the usual Event
hotel - as we can’t pre-book these nights, it will be where we
can find availability.
