Trekking to Everest has recorded a splendid increase and people from India in particular have been drawn to it within the past few years. India and Nepal are neighbors – closely connected by cultural and geographical events and circumstances – making the adventure easy and rewarding.
THE EVEREST TREKKING FOR INDIANS:
Our special Everest Trek package for Indian guests is to ensure that our customers get the most out of this adventure. Starting this ever-memorable and challenging journey to the Everest Base camp is one of the most rewarding endeavors. The trek begins from Lukla and lasts about eight days, covering the standard Everest trekking path. On your travels, you will come across more great suspension bridges, become mesmerized by monasteries that are predominantly Buddhist, and get to know the modern lifestyle of the Sherpa. At 5364 meters, the Base Camp offers spectacular views of the World’s highest mountain and other giants such as Lhotse (8501m), Makalu (8463m), Cho Oyu (8153m) and the beautiful Ama Dablam (6856).
Why should Indians choose the Everest Trek?
Everything ranging from accommodation in warm tea houses to guided hiking with Sherpas is part of our expertly crafted itinerary. Indian travelers gain on the cost side as they do not require a visa to travel to Nepal and the trekking permit fees are considerably cheaper. This makes the Everest trek within reach for the Indian enthusiasts in terms of cost and since Nepal is physically neighbor to India the trek is easily accessible.
In its self-organized tours, special preparation is needed. Travelers must be conscious of altitude illness and ensure that they spend enough money on food and accommodation because the prices rise with the altitude.

Preparation required for Everest Trekking for Indians
Preparing for an Everest trek requires physical fitness, proper gear, and mental readiness. Begin by engaging in regular physical training at least three months before your trek. Focus on cardio exercises like running, cycling, or swimming to build stamina, along with strength training to enhance endurance. Practice hiking on uneven terrains with a loaded backpack to simulate trekking conditions. Acclimatization is crucial for high-altitude trekking, so learn breathing techniques and gradually increase your exposure to higher altitudes through shorter treks or weekend hikes in the Himalayas.
A successful trek mostly depends on the kind of clothes one wears during the exercise. Ensure you buy good quality trekking boots, traveling clothes that avoid overexposure, a strong rucksack, and trekking sticks. Hiking items include a sleeping bag, headlamp, tablets to purify water, and a medical kit with medicines for altitude sickness. Limit luggage but do not leave home without essentials as this part of the world can experience some real weather changes. This is because most trekking agencies usually prepare a packing checklist that helps hikers not to forget some important item. We do provide you a checklist for packing essentials for your trekking.
Mental preparation is equally important. Trekking to Everest involves long hours of walking, steep ascents, and challenging weather conditions. Stay positive, remain patient, and prepare yourself for unpredictable situations. Please educate yourself about altitude sickness symptoms and how to handle them. It’s also essential to have travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuations. Familiarize yourself with Nepal’s trekking permits like TIMS and Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit, which are mandatory. With proper preparation, you can turn your Everest trek into a rewarding and unforgettable experience.
