We organised a personalized 14 day trek to Everest base camp and Gokyo lakes for 24 people with Badri and his team. We had an absolutely fantastic time. The entire expedition went so smoothly- food, lodges and travel was all well organised considering the remote nature of the trip. They try as hard as possible to cater to everyone including food for multiple vegetarians and vegans. The team have a constant wide smile and bubbly energy which makes the experience so enjoyable. A trip to the Himalayas is one in a lifetime and Earthbound Expeditions are the best to accompany you!

Other Info

Insurance

For this trek must be insured against medical and personal accident risks. This insurance must include emergency air ambulance/helicopter rescue services

Acclimatization

Our three high pass trek designed with a high degree of minimization of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) can be sensitive before crossing Cho La and once crossing it will provide the enough days in high mountain which is most important to attempt Island Peak and following through the view top Kalapatter & Base Camp. Going up too fast causes a medical condition serious enough to kill, your itinerary is slow and steady many days in high altitudes and then to the top of Island. The higher the altitude the less oxygen there is in the air. Waking over 4500m/14764ft in Khumbu Himal, for example, there is 50% less oxygen than at sea level. Your body needs many days to adapt to this so for a safe trek it absolutely essential to allow for sufficient time for acclimatization and also you are trekking/camping many days over high ridge snow and mountain. Sensible planning is therefore required to minimize the risk of AMS, which EBE Itinerary assure to prevent your risk.

We advise specially the guest(s) with known heart or lungs or blood diseases to consult their doctor before traveling. Mild headaches, fever, loss of appetite or stomach disorder are symptoms of AMS.

Our itineraries are designed to try to prevent AMS but it is important to remember, some people can be more susceptible than others.
