Best time for mountaineers to climb Mount Everest is from April to Mid June. Starting from Kathmandu it requires 12- 15 days to reach the base camp and return. The trip includes days of trekking, almost eight hours a day. The weather can be extremely adverse depending on the time of the year. The altitude is of 5500 meters. So it can be assumed easily the tour is not just any walk in the park. And one must have excellent physical health and ability to join the team. The trekking lodges have only very basic facilities, often with no or very poor connection of Wi-Fi. Charging any device will cost additional expense. Meals are not included in any pacakage. There are some risk of being affected by Acute Mountain Syndrome. Some tourists may need extra care if they feel more than discomfort, which will be provided by guides and team leaders.
