The best trek in Nepal may be the one to Everest Base Camp. This route is used by thousands of hikers each year. A traditional EBC climb has suddenly evolved into one of the most fascinating and popular trekking locations on the planet today. It will take 10 days to complete the adventurous Everest Base Camp Short Trek, which is a thrilling way to visit the region’s top attractions. The Short Everest Base Camp Trek follows the same path as the Everest Base Camp Trek but takes less time to finish. You must be physically healthy and mentally prepared for this trekking because the majority of the Short Everest Base Camp Treks pathways are located at heights above 3000 meters. Our excursion to Tengboche Monastery, the highest monastery in Nepal’s Khumbu region, and four of the world’s six highest peaks—Mts. Everest, Lhot, Makalu, and Cho-Oyu—are both part of the Mount Everest Base Camp expedition. With all required permissions and trekking supplies, we take a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla before starting our journey to the Everest base camp.
You will be astounded by the most gratifying soaring vistas during the journey, as well as the Khumbu glacier, dominated by Mount Everest, and the wheeled prayer flags billowing in the wind as they wave to the kind locals. Trekking in the Everest region allows you the chance and good fortune to walk in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, who successfully scaled Mount Everest in 1953.
Short Everest Base Camp Trek: Best Season
The months of March, April, May, September, October, and November fall into the spring and autumnal seasons, which are often the greatest times to think about doing this trip. The Nepal Himalayas are unquestionably the best place to do trekking and mountaineering at this time of year. Typically, during those seasons, the weather and temperatures are consistent. Trekking is simple and comfortable, and the mild temperatures make it more pleasurable to be on the mountainside. Every day, the sky is clear and provides stunning views of the surroundings. For those with a little more time, we offer a pleasant hike to Everest base camp that includes acclimatization so that you can learn more about this massive mountain and its surroundings.

Short Everest Base Camp Trek: Difficulty
The difficulty level for the Short Everest Base Camp Trek is listed as “moderate.” For those who have prior high altitude trekking experience, it is less difficult. This excursion may be challenging for people without prior experience traveling at high altitudes. The way leading to Gorekshep and Everest Base Camp is a man-made trail. However, due to the glacier melting each year, the trail to Gorekshep is always changing and can occasionally be rocky. Always follow your guide throughout this section, and if you become lost, get assistance. Even though this journey is not too challenging for seasoned alpine hikers, you can add an extra day to the plan at a slower pace.
