Weight Distribution for the Everest Base Camp Trek
Packing for an Everest trekking adventure is an art. If your bag is disorganized, you’ll waste energy and time. Here is the professional way to pack for your Mount Everest expedition approach.
Put your lightweight, bulky items like your sleeping bag at the very bottom. This creates a base for your pack. On the Everest Base Camp trail, you won't need these until you reach the teahouse.
Keep heavy items (water, electronics, extra layers) close to your back in the middle of the pack. This keeps the center of gravity stable as you navigate the rocky steps of the Everest trekking route.
Rain gear, snacks, and your first-aid kit should be at the top. You never know when a cloud will cover the Mount Everest summit or when you’ll need a sugar boost for a steep climb.
A well-balanced pack feels 5kg lighter. Spend the time to organize your gear every morning before you start your Everest trekking day.
