On the journey, we burned through 27 094/USD $228 altogether on food on a 11-day journey, on the off chance that you take $25 per day it should be sufficient for 3 great dinners for every day, about $8 per feast. Food in the Tea houses was acceptable and not very costly thinking about how modest convenience is and that the watchmen and yaks need to convey all the food up the mountain. Generally food costs on EBC are very like those on the other mainstream traveling courses, for example, the Annapurna Base Camp journey or the Poon Hill journey.
We remained clear from meat not generally confiding in the nature of meat up here and it gets over the top expensive higher up. I offered myself a Yak steak one night, it was horrendous.

We were normally starving in the wake of a difficult day of strolling so I requested for volume and taste! We regularly requested spaghetti with cheddar and tomato, not awful and the segments were enormous. Dahl is additionally a decent alternative, the watchmen live on the stuff, at most places it is ‘endless’, when your plate gets vacant they will top off your dahl, rice and potatoes, on the off chance that they don’t offer simply inquire!

These costs are on the condition you eat there.
Random things
Shower on EBC Trek – Everything gets more costly as you rise. From Namche Bazaar on we needed to pay for hot showers.

In the event that you journey right off the bat in the season the water is regularly solidified in the lines and you can just have a can shower, a container loaded up with boiling water, which is fine, however in February at Gorkshep it is simply excessively cold. We stuffed Wet Wipes and did a ‘dry shower’. Pack hand sanitizer for washing hands when water or cleanser isn’t accessible.

Just the neighborhood allows that are sold en route are but at this point needed on the journey.
Everest Base Camp Trek Difficulty
Our EBC journey was 120 km/75mi, so you walk pretty much 15km every day for around fourteen days. It’s anything but a level strolling surface and commonplace of journeys in Nepal there is a great deal of going all over. The separation you cover doesn’t need super wellness, the elevation does anyway make it very extreme, you start at 3000m and climb 2400m further to arrive at headquarters at 5365m. Trouble of the Everest Base Camp Trek is affected by; your pack weight, a watchman can make it a lot simpler here and season, in the event that you are cold and hopeless it is certainly harder.
