Bonus Episode: Planning an Everest Base Camp Trek


In this special bonus episode, Travel in 10 takes you back to
Nepal! David sits down with Ratindra Singh from Explore Himalaya
to discuss the incredible experience of trekking to Everest Base
Camp. If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting this iconic destination,
Ratindra provides all the essential details on preparing for the
trek, what to expect during the journey, and practical tips for
making the most of your adventure.


Highlights from the Episode:


Everest Base Camp Trek Overview: The trek typically takes
16-17 days, covering around 8-10 kilometers of hiking per day at
a leisurely pace.

Accommodations Along the Trek: Tea houses provide basic
lodging and meals, with amenities like Wi-Fi and charging
available for an extra fee.

Preparing for High Altitudes: Ratindra recommends starting
physical preparation at least 5-6 months in advance, focusing on
cardio and strength training to handle the challenges of trekking
at over 5,000 meters.

Packing Essentials: Walking poles, sturdy boots, layers for
cold weather, and a down jacket are a must. Many gear items can
be rented in Kathmandu if needed.

Alternative Treks in Nepal: For those looking for options
besides Everest Base Camp, Ratindra suggests the Annapurna Base
Camp, Poon Hill trek, or the Langtang region.

Helicopter Options: Short on time? You can trek one way to
Everest Base Camp and take a helicopter for your return.
