Staying Connected: Internet and WiFi on Everest Trekking Routes

Digital Nomad Guide to the Everest Expedition Region

WiFi at 5,000 Meters?

Gone are the days of total isolation. Connectivity on Everest trekking routes is better than ever. Whether you need to check emails or post your Mount Everest summit view to Instagram, here is how to stay online.

Everest Link

In the Everest region, 'Everest Link' provides high-speed WiFi cards. It is reliable enough for video calls even at Everest Base Camp, keeping you connected during your expedition.

Mobile Data

4G coverage is expanding. Ncell works well on the Everest trekking trail up to Pangboche. Buy a SIM in Kathmandu and a large data pack before leaving for your Mount Everest expedition.

Electricity Charging

Connectivity requires power. Solar charging is common. Bring a high-capacity power bank. Charging devices in teahouses costs money, so be strategic during your Everest Base Camp trek.

To Connect or Disconnect?

While it's great to have safety comms for your Everest expedition, don't forget to look up from your screen. The best connection is with the nature around the Everest summit.
