Now’s the time to grab a quick bite, gear up appropriately, and then head off towards Everest Base Camp. The trek to the base camp can be achieved in around three hours, and if trekking in the popular climbing period of March to May, you will almost certainly encounter yaks and porters supplying food and equipment to expeditions here. From Everest Base Camp you will not get views of Mount Everest, but you are able to see glorious glaciers, lakes, caves, and the notorious Everest Ice Fall that flows from the Western Cwm. It's regarded as technically the hardest and most dangerous section of the mountain. The return journey from the Base Camp to Gorak Shep takes the same amount of time.

Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar
I recently completed the Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar trek with Suman and it was totally awesome. I arranged the whole trip via email with Bhim and upon arrival in Kathmandu, I was picked up from the airport by my guide Suman. The whole trip went off without a hitch and Suman was always checking to ensure I was in good shape and not suffering any symptoms of altitude sickness. He even helped me pick up a few items of gear before setting off and when we got back to Kathmandu, took me to Everest Momo for the best momo in town! Thanks Bhim and Suman for an unforgettable experience!
