The Everest Base Camp Trek is graded Demanding (moderate-strenuous). No technical climbing skills are required, but trekkers must walk 5–7 hours per day at altitudes up to 5,545m for up to 12 consecutive days.

Good physical fitness and cardiovascular endurance are essential. Prior trekking experience helps significantly. Age is not a barrier — we have guided trekkers in their 70s to the summit of Kala Patthar. If you are new to high-altitude hiking, the Everest View Trek-12 Days is a gentler starting point.
