12 days to 5,364m — the classic Himalayan trek.
カスタムツアーとは — Everest Base Camp?
The Everest Base Camp trek takes 12–14 days from Lukla (fly from Kathmandu, 35 minutes) via Namche Bazaar (2 nights acclimatisation), Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep to Base Camp and Kala Patthar viewpoint. Best seasons are March–May and October–November. Book teahouse accommodation and Sagarmatha National Park permit in advance.
The Everest Base Camp trek (EBC) is 130 km round-trip from Lukla (2,860 m) to South Base Camp (5,364 m) — a 12–14 day walk through the Khumbu region of Nepal that passes through Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries, and some of the highest inhabited places on Earth. The trek is not technically difficult — no ropes, no glacier travel for most trekkers — but the altitude requires a specifically paced acclimatisation schedule: the 'climb high, sleep low' principle means ascending to a higher elevation each day then descending to sleep at a lower teahouse. Skipping acclimatisation days at Namche Bazaar (3,440 m) and Dingboche (4,360 m) is the primary reason for emergency evacuations. Altitude sickness kills approximately 5–10 trekkers per year on this route.
Namche Bazaar — the Sherpa commercial hub at 3,440 m — is 3 days from Lukla and the essential acclimatisation stop. The recommended minimum rest is 2 nights (one for arrival at altitude, one for the acclimatisation day hike to Everest View Hotel at 3,880 m, which gives the first Everest summit view and tests the body's altitude response before continuing higher). Namche has the highest bakeries, espresso machines, and WiFi hotspots in the world; it also has the Sherpa Culture Museum (admission NRS 250, explains the Sherpa migration from eastern Tibet in the 16th century and the first ascents). The Saturday market (traders from Tibet and surrounding valleys) is the most culturally specific market in the Khumbu.
Kala Patthar (5,545 m) — the rocky promontory above Gorakshep — is the actual viewpoint most trekkers photograph as 'Everest Base Camp view'. From Kala Patthar, the Everest summit (8,848 m) is visible from below the South Summit, with Lhotse (8,516 m) and Nuptse (7,861 m) flanking it. Base Camp itself (5,364 m) is on the Khumbu Glacier and in climbing season (April–May) holds 20–30 expedition camps visible from the moraine edge. In October–November (the autumn trekking season), Base Camp is largely empty of expedition teams; the glacier's serac towers are more accessible for exploration.

2つの出発点 — 実際の旅程は完全オーダーメイドです。ここから組み立てます。
The EBC trek requires good cardiovascular fitness but not mountaineering experience. You should be comfortable walking 5–7 hours per day for 12 consecutive days, carrying a 5–7 kg daypack (your teahouse porter carries the main bag). Train with long hill walks (2+ hours with elevation gain) for 3–4 months before the trek. The trek's primary challenge is altitude, not physical difficulty — the daily walking is easier than it sounds, but the altitude makes everything harder. Anyone who has completed a full-day mountain hike at sea level can complete EBC with proper acclimatisation.
A licensed guide is legally required for trekking in Nepal's restricted areas, but not for the standard EBC route. However, a guide is strongly recommended for first-time trekkers: route finding in poor visibility, altitude sickness recognition, and teahouse booking negotiation are all significantly easier with an experienced Sherpa guide. Guides charge USD 25–35 per day; porters (who carry your main bag) charge USD 15–20. Book through a licensed agency (Nepal Tourism Board registration required) rather than freelance fixers in Thamel.
Two permits are required: the Sagarmatha National Park Permit (NRS 3,000, approximately USD 25, purchased at the Nepal Tourism Board office in Kathmandu or at the park gate in Monjo) and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality entry permit (NRS 2,000, approximately USD 15, purchased at Lukla on arrival). Both permits are checked at entry points along the trail. Your guide handles this if you've booked through an agency. Photography permits are not required for the standard trek.
March–May (pre-monsoon spring) is the primary season — stable weather, clear mornings, and the most dramatic landscape (fresh snow on peaks, rhododendrons in bloom below 3,500 m). This is also the Everest climbing season, so Base Camp in April–May has 20–30 expedition teams. October–November (post-monsoon autumn) has the clearest visibility of the year with freshly washed skies, cool temperatures, and no expedition teams at Base Camp. December–February is cold (-20°C at Gorakshep) but quiet and clear on good days. Avoid June–September (monsoon — rain every afternoon, trail becomes muddy).
Altitude sickness (Acute Mountain Sickness, AMS) is caused by insufficient oxygen at high elevation. Symptoms: headache, nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness, difficulty sleeping. Prevention: ascend slowly (the '500-metre rule' — don't ascend more than 500 metres per day above 3,000 m), take acclimatisation days at Namche (3,440 m) and Dingboche (4,360 m), drink 4+ litres of water daily, avoid alcohol, and sleep at lower elevation than your highest point ('climb high, sleep low'). Diamox (acetazolamide) is a prescription medication that assists acclimatisation; consult a doctor before the trek. The Golden Rule: if symptoms worsen, descend immediately — altitude sickness is not willpower-solvable.
