Packing list to Everest Base Camp is as important as the trek preparation is! Here is a list of necessities you need to keep a note of before you head to Everest Base Camp Trek! Physical fitness is mandatory as well as physical preparation would give extra mileage to your trek performance. Everest is not that easy, people may easily feel Altitude sickness as well as sore muscles problems. So take enough days to trek to Everest, do not go for the cheaper tour operator in the market for lesser days. They can take you to Everest at lowest cost, which best companies in the market cannot offer. You might be thinking how do they earn then? They will make you fall sick in the mountain, then call for a Helicopter rescue and earn thousands of dollar, with fake rescues.
So going cheap can be the most expensive trip in life. Don’t go cheap, go affordable and go easy.
