SAFE DRINKING WATER

Along the trek, safe drinking water is very important while we are on high altitude journey. We recommend that one should drink at least 3-4 liters of water a day (this helps from de-hydration and altitude problems AMS). As long as possible we recommend you buy sealed packed mineral water and can buy it from every local shop and lodge. Remember! River, spring, and tap water are free, we should not recommend directly drinking it even if the water looks very clean, and can not drink without adding water purification pills or a filter then will be suitable to drink. You can buy boiled water from every lodge, boiled water, and sealed packed water costs $1-3$ dollars per letter and its cost also depends on where we are from the sea level. So, you need to prepare and packed the extra cost for all the table drinks.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

The Everest base camp trek is a moderate trek suitable for passionate walkers who have the ability to walk at least 5-7 hours a day with a light day pack. Walking at a high altitude is more physically demanding than walking at lower altitudes; however, if we are in excellent health with average physical fitness and have a positive attitude, self-confidence, and strong determination, we can accomplish this trek successfully. Exercising and jogging regularly for some weeks prior to the trip is a good idea to enhance our strength and stability. Past hiking experience would be an asset but no technical skill is required for this trip. It is vital for participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases to consult their doctor before taking the trip. It is also advised that you inform Nepal Spirit Adventure of any conditions before booking the trek to minimize the risks of altitude sickness.

ACCLIMATIZATION

All of Nepal Spirit Adventure’s treks are planned with a high degree of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness), also known as altitude sickness.

Sensible planning is therefore required to minimize the risk of AMS. Nepal Spirit Adventure’s itineraries are designed to prevent AMS as much as possible. But, it is important to remember that some visitors are more vulnerable than others. Your guides and porters will do their every bit in assisting you during the entire trek.

RE-CHARGING BATTERIES (electronic items)

We can recharge your batteries, and devices with electricity, or solar power sources. In Nepal 220 240 volts 50 MHZ (50 Cycles per Second) power is supplied.

What a remarkable Everest Trek

It was a remarkable Everest trek with Nepal Spirit, they had the best English-speaking trek guide, porter strong and friendly. We didn’t have any problems along the trek all food and accommodation were so great and flight to Lukla was also very remarkable and will never forget, company owner ‘ram’ was professional well organize from start to end, we will definitely return to Nepal for Annapurna circuit trek & Narphu valley hope you will give same guide and porter.

We Had Wonderful Trek to EBC

we could not believe that how beautiful was the mountains most of the day along with our trekking to Mt. Everest base camp, the weather was so great-clear, the company arranged the best lodge accommodation and trek equipment. 2days acclimatization was perfect, thanks for the trip itinerary planner though the owner of the company “Nepal spirit” before attempt high altitude zone rest days were very helpful worth keeping it. We had a great Everest view from Kalapatthar did not have Everest top views from the base camp but we achieve our goal to reach the Everest base camp it was our dream for a long time, guide and porter were so friendly without them I can attempt my dream to reach Everest base camp. Nepal Spirit Adventure organizes many different package trips to EBC but we select Everest base camp gap trekking was ideal for us, thanks guys for organizing such a wonderful trip. 23/11/2018

We enjoyed our trek to Everest base camp through Nepal Spirit Adventure’s guide and porter services, best guide, and top strong porter employed at this company. We did not have any problems along our journey to EBC because we had experience guide Tony, porters: Lakpa, Serdan, and Kami. We highly recommend this adventure company for everyone who is looking to do the Everest base camp trek. 13/10/2018
