Introduction

Preparing for a trek to Everest Base Camp requires careful planning and the right gear to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.

When setting out to enjoy Everest Base Camp, It's important to remember the temperature will drop the higher you get. It will also be cold in the evenings and the teahouses usually only have heating in the communal room. It's also important to pack light. If you have a porter to carry your kit they'll likely have a weight limit that you should adhere to. Or f you're carrying your own kit, you'll want it as light as possible.

Our Everest kit list aims to give you an idea of what you should bring and the reasoning behind our suggestions.
