Overview 

Firstly, the trip begins in Kathmandu and heads to the Tenzing Hilary Airport in Lukla on a short flight. Then, you start to trail along the Dudh Koshi River before entering the Sagarmatha National Park. The trek settles at Namche, which is the biggest trade hub in the Everest region. Here, you explore for a day and head to locations like Everest View Hotel and Khumjung village. From here, you follow the Imja River and head to Tengboche. As you enjoy the views of Mt. Ama Dablam (6856m), you will reach Dingboche.

At Dingboche, you will acclimatize for a day and hike to the local peak called Nangkar Tshang (516m). Then, the next part of the trek takes you to Thukla and continues to Lobuche. Further, you trek along the Khumbu Glacier and reach Gorakshep. Next, you trek along the arid trails to settle at the Everest Base Camp.

The vantage point offers a surreal view of mountains like Mt. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Ama Dablam (6856m), and many others. Finally, the return trip begins, and you retrace your steps via Thukla and Tengboche. Then, you return to Lukla via Namche Bazaar and fly back to Kathmandu

 

Background 

Traverse the magical land of Khumbu Valley and its riches on the Everest Base Camp Trekking. The trek is a glorious trip across the Sagarmatha National Park, one of the UNESCO world heritage sites in Nepal. Likewise, the cultural richness of the ethnic Sherpa people is equally alluring as well. All in all, this trip is a perfect depiction of the diversity in nature and culture of Nepal.

There is so much of individual research claiming that regular yoga and meditation can help cope with simple things. From hangovers to improving flexibility, endurance, strength and balance of pre-trekking to assisting muscle soreness of post-trekking, yoga is widely acclaimed for its wonderful benefits for both our body and mind. Asanas help target weak points and build you up over time. The vast range of stretches significantly helps to prepare your knees, hip, and back from potential injuries.

Why Yoga with Trekking ? 

The instructor has always said stretching before any physical activity is important, so the same can be assumed for trekking. Having a regular practice of stretching and strengthening the body would have to be beneficial. More than just stretching, yoga offers a wide spectrum of benefits for one’s overall holistic upliftment on a long term basis.

What can benefit practicing Yoga Trekkers – Both Experienced and New ?

● Yoga helps reduce both the risk of being sore after trekking and the risk of injury during trekking.

● It helps build strength and stamina for longer trekking, more intense trails with ease.

● Yoga helps with your balance, and balance is great for trekking!

● Finding a deep connection with nature and things inbound.

●  Helping to pace and preserve energy for a longer period of time through breathing technique.

●  Yoga helps you become more aware of self and letting one know to take a break so ensuring not to push one too hard.

●  Yoga helps to cope better with tighter air and higher altitude training that mountains demand.

●  Yoga increases the awareness of the beautiful natural environment around you.

ESSENTIAL INFO

Best time to visit

Although Everest Base Camp Yoga Trekking is a wonderful journey to do any season. But, the ideal time to do this trek is between September to November. If not, you can do this trek in the spring and autumn seasons. During this time of the year, you will find an ideal climate to trek in, similarly, April is the warmest month of the year in Nepal. So, you can do this trek at this time of the year. During this time of the year, the climate is moderately stable and suitable. Therefore, it can be very helpful for people who want to enjoy the scenery and the surroundings. In addition, if you travel here during this time then you can enjoy a stunning view of Everest Base Camp, Khumbu Glacier, and Icefall.

The difficulty of the trek

There can be a lot of difficulties if you climb at a higher altitude. Similarly, the trek to Everest Base Camp is very troublesome. Likewise, you can face a lot of difficulties climbing here. The most common difficulty that you are going to face while trekking here is high altitude sickness. Altitude sickness is a condition when your body has shortness of breath and dizziness. Similarly, if you travel here during overripe seasons then there might be a shortage of suitable porters and accommodation facilities. Likewise, if you travel here during the winter season then you might find slippery trails which can hamper your journey. In addition, if you do this trek in the rainy seasons then the climate and weather can affect your journey.

Travel insurance

You must have your travel insurance with you. So, make sure your travel insurance company has covered all your safety measures. Make sure that the insurance company provides you with every facility. Because it has a lot of benefits during the trek. Therefore, make sure your travel insurance covers your injury, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, rescue mission, loss of property, etc. But, most importantly make sure your travel insurance is not expired.  Furthermore, make sure that your Insurance policy has covered your 4000m trekking and adventure policy. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to cooperate. Therefore, make sure you have it with you.

Meals and Accommodation

We provide a wide range of food and accommodation to our visitors at EBC yoga trekking. Similarly, we provide a suitable and peaceful environment for our visitors for yoga and meditation. Likewise, at the routes of EBC, we provide a wide range of comfortable hotel lodges and accommodation facilities. As most of the accommodation facility is run by the locals you will get a chance to experience quality local food and hospitality. In addition, the locals there also provide western foods though its a bit expensive compared to the local meals. Local dishes are less pricey because they prepare them with their local farm produce and spices. Whereas, most of the ingredients for western foods are imported from cities. So, western foods are slightly expensive. Furthermore, as you go higher up the altitude the price of the meals also increases.

Fitness and experience requirements

Climbing at a higher altitude requires you to be mentally and physically fit. Similarly, if you can walk for around 4-5 hours with a light backpack then this trek is very fruitful for you. This trek is for around 12 days which is suitable for busy people. Similarly, you should not have any health issues. So, if you have some health issues then you cannot do this trek. Your heart and lungs should be perfectly fine if you want to enjoy and complete this trek. Similarly, you should not have any blood-related diseases. However, you should not be that experienced for the trek. But, you should have a little knowledge about the trek. You should not go there blindly.

Climate and Weather

Climate and weather are important factors to consider for your trek. Similarly, your trek success rate solely depends on this. So, it is very important to consider before heading on the trek. The spring and autumn season is the best time to trek here. During this time of the year, the weather is very pleasant and warm. However, it gets cold at night. It can probably show above 3000m altitude. However, the climate of the Himalayas is unpredictable. It is usually warm during the day and cold during the night. So, you should have a reliable sleeping bag with you. But, it is quite warm if there is sunshine. Similarly, if there is sunshine during the trek then you can fully enjoy the view of the surrounding. Likewise, you will travel in clear visibility.

Safety and security

The Safety and Security of our trekkers are very important for us. Similarly, while trekking in EBC we carefully check every route for the trek. So, don’t worry you will be safe with us. Similarly, we also take good care of the belongings of our trekkers on the lodges and during the trek as well. Therefore, you feel free and fully enjoy yourself during the trek, you should not worry about yourself and your belongings. We fully take care of that.

13 Days Manaslu Trek !

13 Days Manaslu Trek !

My friend and I were lucky to find Tej online before visiting Nepal. We knew we wanted to do a trek, but we weren’t sure exactly which trek. Tej sent us a bunch of itineraries for different treks and we chose the Manaslu circuit. When we arrived our guide, Kumar, was waiting for us at the airport and Tej was able to get us all our permits for the trek done in less than 2 hours which was great. The manaslu trek was absolutely amazing! We were super happy with our whole trip and we were lucky to be able to make the pass even though we saw dozens of other people who had to turn back because of the weather. We are already looking forward to going back next year at the same time to trek Everest and we will definitely use Tej again!

3 Weeks Personal Retreat

3 Weeks Personal Retreat

“Nepal Alternative Trek addressed my needs according to my schedule and agenda. I stayed most of the time at his home-stay, shuttling between home and the places that I wanted to visit. Tej, the boss behind Nepal Alternative Trek, helped to make my stay in Kathmandu comfortable and productive. He walked me to the monasteries that I wanted to visit and even picked me up when I needed a ride back home.

The home-stay is hosted by his wife and I got to experience living with a Nepalese family, sharing their food, space and laughter.

For the home-stay:
1) Meals available upon request
2) Family get together and chats
3) Regular change of bed-sheets and towels
4) Free WIFI
5) Near Swayambhu and Thamel
6) Safe environment
7) Mountainous forest behind home
8) Walking distance to beautiful monasteries
9) Away from hustle and bustle of towns yet easy to get to town

I left the home-stay with a smile.

All the best,

8 days non trek city tour and 21days trek to EBC and chola pass

8 days non trek city tour and 21days trek to EBC and chola pass

We love nepal and made 3 time visit to this beutiful country and rich culture. This time last year we came with 6 pax and visited Kathmandu , Pohkara and chitwan with a stay of 2 night in each place. We flew to Pohkara and got the van to chitwan and flew to Kathmandu. Tej arranged all transports overland and flights for us. We did not asked for a local guide but it was all smooth and no problem. We are happy with the service provided by Tej and he made all efforts to make us happy. His company performed professional with the very reasonable pricing. We encountered some small problem with the van transporting us back from nagarkot to kathmandu airport. This van was quite small and it came to pick up quite late that we almost missed the flight to pohkara. We told Tej about this and he must take care of this outsourced van company. Anyway the van in pohkara and to chitwan was excellent , big and comfy. So he has corrected the mistake.

Part 2 was our trek to EBC and chola pass for 21 nights. Tej arranged for flight and guide plus porter. For this trekking it was only me and my wife travelling together. We are about 50 years and used the service of 2 porters cause we bought a lot of dry food plus chocolate. We are difficult persons in terms of foreign food. Our guide Ammer and 2 porters are fabulous. They took care of us very well like we are part of their family.

Overall we strongly recommend this company. They are good and not high expensive tag. We will use their service again in June to trek in Langtang. Rocky

A great experience on the Annapurna Circuit

A great experience on the Annapurna Circuit

We had a fantastic experience on the Annapurna Circuit with Nepal Alternative Treks. Tej, the manager, was helpful, professional and efficient in dealing with our requirements and amendments, the arrangements worked smoothly and the information provided to us was excellent. Our guide Kul was brilliant. He was friendly, knowledgable and experienced and took changes in our itinerary in his stride. Our trekking experience was much better with his help in everything from planning the stages of the route to organising our food and accommodation. Just one warning: he is an ace card player and will probably beat you hands down!

A wonderful and interesting trek overall

A wonderful and interesting trek overall

A wonderful & interesting trek overall. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances ( heavy snow fall & Lie ping with a bad cold) we were unable to cross the Ganja la pass. However, our guide Simbir offered us as alternative trek which took us on a difference journey of Nepal. We had the opportunity to visit & stay in many local villages and meet Tamang, Gurung people experience, their lifestyle and culture. We visited our guide’s home town of Chalishgaun and timed it right to join in with Diwali celebrations!

A trip worth of a lifetime!

A trip worth of a lifetime!

Attempting Everest base camp trekking for me & my group was taking it to the next level. Before this, our limits were Kedarnath, MadMaheshwar & Tunganath with max distances of 18-19 kms spread over 2-3 days. Moreover, these tracks are such that people doesn’t necessarily have to trek. They have the option of ponies. EBC involves a lot for people like us (acclimatization to altitude, strength etc.), but above all, you need someone to provide logistical support, moral support that it can be done. This is where Nepal Alternative Treks does a great job. They organized it very well, guides and porters provided were very reliable and cost is reasonable when you compare to others. They can customize your travel plan according to your need.

A Trek in Ruby Valley !

A Trek in Ruby Valley !

A few weeks ago we went on a trip to Nepal, accompanied by a couple of friends who were on their second trip with Nepal Alternative Trek. Our first goal was to trek to the village of Chalish in Ruby Valley. We decided to go with the services of Nepal Alternative Trek to take us up there. We went there partly by jeep, partly walking through the cultivated terraces, meeting the inhabitants of the different communities who worked there.

I must say that the service that Tej offered us was perfect on all lines. First of all, before our departure, months before, Tej always answered our many questions (luggage, temperature, route to be revised, etc.) Always within 24 hours, he answered with a lot of patience.

All the equipment we thought we would need was available at his office.

Our guide Ammar led us to destination with confidence and professionalism. He knew all the trails, and especially all the shortcuts to avoid us having to go up or down too much along our road. He has managed all the difficulties we have encountered: due to personal reasons, we had to change and our itinerary, and our calendar, and he made everything possible. The whole team adapted to our changes. Our guide contacted Tej who orchestrated the changes without us even having to deal with anything.

The porters were attentive and were always in front of our needs.

Our journey continued towards Bandipur with the driver who made us know the various interesting points, from sunrise to sunset, making detours to take us to the most famous places. Then a 2 days stay in Chitwan, and return to Kathmandu again where the driver carried us without calculating from one place to another – God knows that traffic in Kathmandu, Bakhtapur and Patan can be complicated.

Thanks to Tej, and the whole Nepal Alternative Trek team. We will remember forever that amazing experience.
