I couldn’t get Nepal out of my head when I went and walked in the Annapurna Base Camp in 2013. I knew I would be going back some time and I finally returned for a trek in Nepal after five years.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This time, I walked the 15 days of <\/span>Everest Base Camp trek<\/span><\/a> and the trail of Gokyo Lake, covering approx. 120 km. This is the longest and highest trek I have ever done and the one I have ever experienced in my 6 years on the road. Don’t deceive the Himalayas!<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing Mount Everest with your own eyes is certainly an experience once in a lifetime and I’m here for you today. This is the final guide to walking independently to the Everest Base Camp.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are everything you need to know to have the best trekking experience in your life \u2013 a whole route, things to prepare, where to stay, a day-by-day breakdown of my budget, and lots of wonderful photos.<\/span><\/p>\n

In April-May (Spring) as well as October (Autumn) which are considered to be both pre-monsoon and post-monsoon season, is the best time to walk the trail of the Everest Base Camp or wherever else in the Nepalese Himalayas. There is fewer chances of rain and during those periods the colors of the season are swinging.<\/span><\/p>\n

In April<\/b> – May (Spring) or October – November (Autumn), either before or after the Monsoon seasons are the best time for hiking the Everest Base Camp or anywhere else in the Nepalese Himalayas in this respect. Rain is less likely and in these times the season’s colors are in full swing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Everest Base Camp trail is unfortunately very popular to the point that crowds cannot almost be avoided unless you walk or go along a side trail so that you can prepare to see tour groups in the winter when you are on this hiking trail.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I went on the trek from late October to November of 2018 and I was only struck once over my entire 15-day period. The daily temperature is warm when the sun is out but quickly descends when the sun disappears at nearly \u201312\u00b0C during the night.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2019 Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Trek prices are updated, breached on a daily basis for the whole 15 days, the estimated total amount at the end of which is:<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the overall budget breakdown, there are some ways to optimize your budget to save your Everest Base Camp even more on your hikes. Here are some tips that I wish I would like to know before I did the hike:<\/span><\/p>\n

Water Purification Tablets: There can be a bottle of water very expensive and there is no better way to economize than to fill and purify your bottle with tap water. I drank from the tap just as local people did without purifying it and I was all well, but I was born again in Bangkok.<\/span><\/p>\n
