If your views on culture and customs are different from the views of EBC trail residents, the different perception of the world would be your journey too.

First Aid Kit

Although the Everest Base Camp trip is relatively safety, carry a well-stocked first aid kit with essentials like bandages, pain relievers, and altitude sickness medication.

Altitude sickness can be a problem for asthma patients and heavy smokers. Don’t smoke during the trip, and you will less likely to get a dry cough and altitude sickness.

Stretching and Warm Up

You should not hurry to start your journey once you are well-rested. Stretch your whole body and do a little warm-up before you start. This will help your body to get ready for the journey and activate the connection of your nerves and muscles.

Mentality

Preparing yourself mentally is one of the most important factors to complete the EBC trek. You should know that sometimes your leg will burn like crazy and tiredness can get you long before the destination. But the key is to be ready for the challenge.

Selecting the most suitable and right footwear for yourself will make your trek way easier. Only you would know what the right footwear is for you. If your other apparel is a bit comfortable, it can be managed but if your shoes are not working for you on the trip, then it would be miserable for you.

Also, blisters could be avoided. So, keep this in mind.

Leave Your Work at Home

If you are constantly worrying about your work on the trip and you are compelling yourself to call and check the work in progress during the trip, you will be missing the essence of the trip.
