    Useful Information

    Are Acclimatization Days necessary for Everest Trek?

    Yes, acclimatization days are necessary for the Everest Base Camp Trek. Acclimatization refers to the process of adjusting to high-altitude environments to prevent altitude sickness and ensure the well-being of trekkers.

    During acclimatization days, trekkers have the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas, take short hikes to higher altitudes, and then return to lower altitudes for sleep. This process helps the body adjust to the decreasing oxygen levels and reduces the risk of altitude-related illnesses.

    14 Days Everest Base Camp Trek's package includes two acclimatization days at Namche Bazaar and Dingboche.
