Those are safety tips which you should follow while going on the Everest Base camp Trek:

 

  • Always ensure that you have reliable and suitable travel insurance coverage before taking the trip. Although the Everest Base Camp trek is a safe and sound route, there is a guarantee of any mishaps. That's why insurance is a must.

 

  • Foreign tourists other than Indians may need to carry a Permit card that can be issued from Pokhara or Kathmandu.

 

  • Quality clothing and extremely robust shoes are the first essentials to pick for the trek. Make sure to let go of those everyday sports shoes if you want extra safety while traveling through the rough and slippery terrains.

 

What Else to Remember?

 

  • Carry cash, (USD, and Rupees)

 

You do not get the ATM in Everest so better to carry sufficient cash. Nepal accepts Indian Rupee alongside US Dollars and since Rupee is more comfortable to convert and calculate many prefer that over US dollars.

 

  • Bring your tea

 

Tea is very costly, and since it is one of the best options to keep yourself warm and energized during Everest Trekking, carry a few tea pouches along.

 

  • Buy gear in Kathmandu

 

In Kathmandu, you get more trekking gear shops within a reasonable and competitive price. So it is better to buy there instead of carrying it from your home destination. You may need trekking poles, hats, gloves, socks, down jacket and much more.

 

  • Carry chocolate and any treats

 

While trekking, you can have chocolate and do the trek so that you do not feel bored and also you can reduce your hunger while limiting the chances of the mineral deficit on the route.

 

  • Book tour locally

 

You can hire a tour guide who will guide you the correct route and can explain to you the sightseeing too. Then, you will have more knowledge about the Everest Base Camp Trek.

 

  • Pack Tang

 

You can carry tang to make water flavored during Everest trekking. Only water is pretty annoying to drink always if in this flavor mix then you may feel about drinking more. That time consumption of water will be more, and you also will be hydrated.

 

  • Carry map

 

If you can carry a map, then it will help you reach the proper destination without needing extra assistance, thus saving money too. Keeping a compass alongside the map makes it much easier to locate the exact directions to follow.

 

  • Hand-wipes

 

There you will not get any water so showing will be a big problem for you, so better to carry hand wipes.
