Comfort While Chasing the Mount Everest Summit
Gone are the days when Everest trekking meant freezing in a sleeping bag. A network of luxury lodges now allows you to hike to the base of the Mount Everest summit while enjoying heated rooms and hot showers.
Luxury lodges like Yeti Mountain Home and Everest Summit Lodge offer en-suite bathrooms, electric blankets, and three-course meals. They provide a sanctuary of warmth in the harsh Everest expedition environment.
You can find these lodges in Lukla, Phakding, Namche, Thame, and Kongde. Higher up near Everest Base Camp, facilities become more basic, but the lower valley can be done in absolute style.
Luxury comes at a cost, often $150-$300 per night. However, the quality of rest you get can significantly improve your performance on the trail towards the Mount Everest summit views.
For many, the comfort is worth every penny, turning a grueling trek into a pleasant holiday.
