• Accommodation facilities during EBC Trek

One of the major facilities to consider while doing the Everest camp trek is the accommodation facility. With the increase in the number of tourists, the accommodation facilities are very good in the Everest region. If you are doing the trekking alone without the involvement of Bharal Adventure you will have to be careful about pre-booking. Most of the time the accommodation facility revolves around tea houses. 

Tea houses have the most basic living facilities. You will have to eat in a common kitchen which creates a bond beyond trekking as well. There are limited amounts of luxury accommodations but they are expensive at times. 

In all of the accommodation facilities, there is a charging port and electricity facility. However, you will have to pay some extra cash to get the facility. Therefore we suggest you get a power bank to save some money. 

• Transport Facilities for Everest Region Trek

There are only two ways to reach the Everest region. The flight or helicopter service is the major way to reach the Everest region. Talking about facilities during the Everest trek in the context of transport it is top notch. During the peak trekking season the flights from Kathmandu to Lukla also get overly crowded. Not only that you will have to book in advance to get your place on the Lukla flight. Fair to say all the hassle is worth it.  Lukla is one of the most beautiful flights of Nepal. Some of the trekkers who love extra effort take a car ride from Kathmandu to Salleri and start their upclimb to the Everest region. This process takes a lot of time. In like manner, if you have limited time and want to complete the trek quicker, you can even charter a helicopter that will drop you to Everest Base Camp or Namche Bazar. This saves you plenty of time.  Lastly putting light into the transport at the trails will all depend upon your strength and stamina. There is a destined path where you have to walk to reach the Everest region.
