Acclimatization For Everest Base Camp Trek: Everest Base Camp Trek itinerary is planned with a high degree of minimization of awareness of AMS(Acute Mountain Sickness). Going up too fast causes a medical condition serious enough to kill. The higher the altitude the less oxygen there is in the air. On the summit of Kalapattar (5554m/18192ft), Everest Base Camp (5357m/17575ft) for example, there is 50% less oxygen than at sea level. Your body needs many days to adapt to this so for a safe trek it absolutely essential to allow for sufficient time for acclimatization. Sensible planning is therefore required to minimize the risk of AMS. We advise specially the guest(s) with known heart or lungs or blood diseases to consult their doctor before traveling. Mild headaches, fever, loss of appetite or stomach disorder are symptoms of AMS.AMG's itineraries are designed to try to prevent AMS but it is important to remember, some people can be more susceptible than others.

Experience & Health Required for Everest Base Camp Trek : Prior to embarking on the Everest Base Camp trek you must be in good health and physical condition. Most days have four to five hours of walking, but some days are up to seven hours. It's a good idea to prepare yourself in the lead-up to your trip with some regular exercise, the best form of which is long walks in hilly areas. Technical experience is not required, hiking/camping experience is an advantage, but by far the most important thing is a positive attitude and a generous amount of determination.   If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, it's vital you let us know the details of these before setting off. Also, before coming to Nepal it's important to consult your doctor regarding vaccinations and any other medical concerns the trip may raise. Medical and evacuation expenses are your responsibility.

Best  Seasons to do Everest Base Camp Trek:

We recommend Autumn(Sept, Oct & Nov) & Spring(March, April & May) as the best seasons for the Everest Base Camp Trek. The weather is sunny and warm, but the nights are cold and can fall to freezing. Winter (Dec, Jan, Feb) is also good, only colder (obviously). Summer (Jun, Jul, Aug) is monsoon so visibility and rain are an issue but some feel this is outweighed by having the track practically to yourself.
