Insider Tips about an Everest Base Camp Tour in Tibet
The magnificent and splendid scenery cannot overshadow the fact that the altitude of the Everest Base Camp is 5,200 meters, travelers have to weigh the thrill of exploration against the realities of high-altitude health risks.
Some Groups Are Not Recommended to Visit the Everest Base Camp for Safety
People under the age of 7 and over 70 are not recommended to go to the Everest Base Camp, as it is risky. For elderly people over 70 who have a very strong desire to come to the EBC, they need to have a physical examination report, be accompanied by family members, and sign a liability waiver agreement. Under such circumstances, can a travel agency consider whether to accept this type of tourists. All these considerations are based on safety as the top priority.
Another type of tourist is those with certain diseases, such as heart disease or some serious respiratory disorders. Such tourists are not even recommended to visit Tibet.
From November to March of the Following Year Is the Winter of the Everest Base Camp And Also the Off-Season for Tourism
In winter, the average highest temperature during the day ranges from -10℃ to 10℃, and the average lowest temperature at night ranges from -17℃ to -5℃. Among the winter months, the coldest month is January. November is relatively warmer, followed by March when the climate also becomes milder. The advantage of choosing to travel in winter is that you can enjoy very affordable travel package prices. However, you also have to face the fact that tents in the Everest base camp area are removed and supplies are decreased. The world's highest-altitude post office located here is only open from May to October each year. But fortunately, Mount Everest often appears in a more impressive posture in winter, clearly visible and not blocked by clouds and fog.
The Everest Base Camp Can Be Visited All Year Round, But It Is Sometimes Temporarily Closed in Winter Due to Road Closures
You can book our travel agency's Everest Base Camp tour throughout the year. However, there are some natural factors that are uncontrollable and may result in the absence of a tour schedule to the EBC for a certain period of time. Our team has always been at the forefront of getting first-hand information and never organizes Tibet tours without security guarantees. We value the importance of safety more than the tourists themselves.
Prepare Oxygen Cylinders before Heading to the Everest Base Camp
It takes several hours to drive about 300 kilometers from Shigatse to EBC. During the journey, you also need to stop at the 5,200-meter-high Gawula Mountain viewing platform for taking photos. On this way, you are likely to need to inhale oxygen to alleviate the impact of altitude sickness. If you don't make preparations in advance and buy on the spur of the moment, you usually face high prices and a shortage of supplies. Also, it is highly recommended to carry some high-energy snacks such as chocolate and nuts, as well as some medicines that you think are necessary.
Basic Information about the Everest Base Camp's Facility And Service
The Everest Base Camp area is covered by Wi-Fi and mobile phone signals. Besides the dormitory-style guesthouse, there are a few hotel-sized rooms available here. There are no bathing facilities here, and taking a bath here is very likely to cause altitude sickness. Apart from a few hotel-sized rooms equipped with private toilets, most guesthouse rooms only offer public toilets. The meals here are very simple, and the prices are a little higher than those in the urban area. After all, supplies are scarce. It is recommended to take some instant food to your taste.
Conclusion
The Everest Base Camp is undoubtedly one of the most popular attractions in Tibet. Our travel agency welcomes every tourist who yearns for Mount Everest to come for consultation!

plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April
Hi! I would like to plan a 7-8days trip for me and my boyfriend in April (3rd to 10th ideally) to Nepal, Tibet, and, if possible, Bhutan. Do you think it would be doable? Based on what I read, there are some places/things to do to consider: Nepal: Everest Base Camp trek and the Annapurna Circuit, ancient temples, sacred sites like Lumbini, Kathmandu, Tibet: The Potala Palace in Lhasa and the Jokhang Temple. eventually the holy Mount Kailash or the high-altitude plains. Bhutan: Thimphu, Paro, and the famous Tiger’s Nest Monastery. To take part in cultural traditions, yoga, meditation... Of course I am open to any recommendations you could make. For your reference, we are both based in Asia: him, in Bangkok and myself in Macau. Thank you so much for the information you could provide and, if possible, an estimated budget for your offer.
