Altitude
As you have to ascend above 5000m in height during the trek, the risk of getting caught by altitude sickness increases with every step ahead.
If you ever get prone to symptoms like headache, dizziness, and nausea, prefer acclimatization or descending.
How to Prepare:
- Acclimatize properly by following a gradual ascent
- Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol
- Take acclimatization days as planned in our itinerary at Everest Thrill
Weather
The selection of the right weather for the Trek makes a big difference in your experience. The trip is possible throughout the year, but the best months provide clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and safe trails.
