First Time on a Mount Everest Expedition Trail?
Everest Base Camp is a challenging first trek, but it is achievable for beginners with the right mindset. Here is how to prepare for your first taste of the Mount Everest summit region.
Begin cardio and leg training 3-6 months before. You don't need technical skills, just walking endurance. The Everest trekking path is non-technical, meaning no ropes or crampons are needed for Base Camp.
Don't spend thousands on gear. You can rent high-quality down jackets and sleeping bags in Kathmandu. This keeps the cost of your Everest expedition approachable for beginners.
For a first-timer, joining a guided group provides safety and social support. Your guide manages the logistics, letting you focus on putting one foot in front of the other towards the Everest summit.
Every expert was once a beginner. Everest Base Camp is the perfect place to start your love affair with high mountains.
