Electronics Packing List for Everest Base Camp

Gadgets You Actually Need on the Expedition

Tech in the Wild

We love our gadgets. But weight matters. Here is the essential electronics list for capturing your Everest trekking journey without breaking your back.

Camera vs Phone

Modern phones take amazing photos. Unless you are a pro, leave the heavy DSLR. A phone plus a small gimbal or tripod is sufficient for 99% of people to capture the Everest summit.

Camera Gear Spread
Power Management

1x 20,000mAh Power Bank. Cables (bring spares). Universal travel adapter for Kathmandu. That’s it. Don't bring a laptop unless you absolutely must work.

Headlamp

Crucial. Bring a headlamp with fresh batteries. You need it for the toilet at night and the early start for Kala Patthar. Don't rely on your phone light; save the battery.

Keep it Simple

The less you have to charge, the freer you will feel. Enjoy the disconnect.
